about

Taken from the forthcoming album Cult Casual, ‘The Wish’ sees Heavy Salad rip through three minutes of razor sharp hooks and hard rocking power pop! Produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys / Working Men’s Club) at his studio in Sheffield ‘The Wish’ is a passionate anthem for uncertain times. Amongst fuzzed up, new wave guitars from Rob Glennie and fierce, pounding drums from Allan Hutchison, lead singer Lee deadpans “reproduction reaps destruction”, as he states “I cannot save you, I can’t even save myself”.

“The song seeks to turn the mirror on society and reconsider how we approach our lives”, explains Lee, “I want to turn my nihilism into something positive!”

lyrics

Infinite time is not even
The maze is locked, you're not leaving
Dreaming answers will not work here
Power over people is based on fear

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself
No!
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself

Infinite time is not real
Assimilate, absorb, feel
Reproduction reaps destruction
Ignore warnings, ups production

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself
No!
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself

Infinite time is deceiving
It's just something you're perceiving
Reality waves goodbye
Disintegrate your mind's eye

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself
No!
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
'cause we're running out of wishes
We're the wish that wished itself
