Luscious Apparatus' 2022 debut single, "Infiltrate," is about domestic violence, the kindness of strangers, and helping someone escape from an abusive relationship. The lyrics were triggered by an article that offered an excruciatingly detailed account of the horrors inflicted upon one of the victims of Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson. The song speaks to the often terrible and destructive power wielded by abusers. It attempts to inspire hope and strength for anyone who has found themselves in an abusive situation and are trying to find their way out of the fog.
Domestic violence (also referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV), dating abuse, or relationship abuse) is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship.
The cycle of abuse can be broken, and it is everyone's responsibility to help. If you know someone who is being abused, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-SAFE, or search for local resources at www.thehotline.org.
Lyrics
hey you in your cage
won't you come out
master's away
here I made you this key
it works on imaginary locks
like the ones that hold you trapped inside your thoughts
i have been there
there's no such thing as now or never
let's get you out of danger
let's escape your violator
this is not okay
come away with me
you don't have to stay
it doesn't have to be like this
it's all an illusion
it's just a ruse on you
to sow confusion
abhorrent behavior
violent manupulator
let's get you out of danger
from this desecrator
you have been poisoned
we have your antidote
so take this help from a stranger
your secret infiltrator
we'll destroy your captivator
but first let's get you clear of the danger
you are safe
