Half-Cocked - Ethel Cain Lyrics 

the reason this song is not on streaming services is because it has a sample in it guys !! the song is "take the blame so i dont have to" and i have linked it in the description. getting samples cleared for streaming services is a legal nightmare so Ethel wont be putting this song on Spotify or iTunes anytime soon. now, respectfully, you can stop asking me

her vocal range is insane omg, half-cocked vs family tree is like night and day. love ethel sm she ate and left no crumbs

"I don't do what my mama told me. I just do what my mama would." Amen.

''i don't starve cause i hate my body, i just starve cause i'm fucking broke''😭😭😭

this feels like a punch in the gut, every lyric. america is scary, the state of it, the rest of the world too. this is all so scary. I loved to listen to this, so thank you for sharing the lyrics.

love how this song was posted 3 years ago but accurately mentions a major, unrelenting flaw in america. can't afford to eat but also can't afford to respectfully pass away

I always imagine the narrator of this song to be the mother of the “Preacher’s daughter”. Showing the generational trauma.

Love the spooky black sample in there at the end

If god exist, it is a malevolent voyeur, unwilling to help, yet watching it all unfold. Extolled as perfect, yet so petty, it chose to drown everyone on the planet in a fit of rage.

That last string of lyrics hit the nail! WOW. ✨️ Lyrical Beast! 👌💓

Every day since I’ve found it it’s been on repeat !

She's incredibly talented with an emotionally expressive way (though on this song the voc coder effects detract not enhance, (sorry Hayden)). Her rawness makes you feel -- repeatedly -- like you just got clonked with a 2x4. Her songs should come with a warning -- not for the faint of heart! ❤‍🩹💔She has raised profound (and not undeserved :/ ) self pity to an art form, and I'm here for it!🌾❤🌿Thank you universe. We all need someone to say our private feelings out loud from time to time.

I actually owe my life to this woman

I was sooo bummed to see the show in sf was sold out, I have been listening to at least one Ethel Cain song every day since the week this song was posted, it's a gem.

this one got me crying for two hours straight good edit btw!!

I fucking love this song thank you for being alive and making this ily

This is so amazing!! Thank you for uploading it.

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it,

she's so insane for this

The perfect song for a Sunday morning. 🙏

god i love this song so much hayden is amazing

this is... HER BEST SONG like ???? I'm obsessed

every song of hers is my new favorite, but this one is rly my fav 😫

Ethereal catharsis at its very best...

Those last few lines hit so hard.

Why does this not have a gajillion views/subscribers

2:39 goosebumps

Just realized the picture is depicting parents forcing their cultists’ beliefs on their children :(

I really like Ethel Cain, on this song I just wish that there was more vocal variation. The lyrics are what makes me listen.

That crecendo at the end, she got it just right. Must be one of the best songs i have heard in a while.

what's the font of the lyrics

Pura gente de la nicole dollanganger 💪

Fuck this song goes hard

2:40-

1.5x speed is a banger!

WHY ARE ALL HER DEMOS NOT ON APPLE MUSIC

Does anyone have an interpretation for this? I cant really put my finger on it…

The title is questionable 🤔

I don't starve 'cause I hate my body, I just starve because I'm fuckin' broke. And on my mama I hate this country, America's a fuckin' joke.

There is something seriously wrong with me. If a child starts screaming and throwing a tantrum I wouldn’t comfort him or her. I would scream back. Deep down still an Asian I guess

Bit chee

don't be the next Amy Whinehouse.

Someone who writes lyrics like this eventually: A. Grows up and looks back cringing at how immature they were. or B. Doubles down on the rebellious bitterness until they self destruct.

Didn’t like it sounds like a tuned voice and on a mic under Xanax

Pedantic shit. It galls me that people looking for my band Half Cocked are getting this shit noise.

Meh. America is pretty damn awesome for people like me that have a solid job in pretty good money in a bunch of friends that like to do fun s***. Shrug.

I listen to this as I’m cleaning the house. Lol. 🧼 🪣

10/10
