Subhuman

About Subhuman

"Subhuman" is a 1995 song written, recorded and produced by alternative rock band Garbage, and was originally released as an international b-side on "Vow", Garbage's debut single. That song had earlier been pressed as a limited edition 7" vinyl in the United Kingdom for the purposes of launching the band; when it came to re-releasing "Vow", Mushroom Records felt that "Subhuman" was strong enough to be issued as an A-side to follow up "Vow". A last-minute decision was made to switch the songs. "Vow" was relegated to bonus track on the CD single."Subhuman" was released as the band's second single exclusively in the United Kingdom, and it gave Garbage their first chart appearance, peaking at #50 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was promoted by a press junket organised by the record label on a boat sailing down London's River Thames, and attracted media attention for the distinctive rubber packaging of the vinyl format."Subhuman" was also used by the label as an opportunity to massively raise general awareness of Garbage and as an advertising campaign to brand the "G" logo by promoting the single release with plain white flyers, stickers, carrier bags, t-shirts and subway posters emblazoned with the band's "G" logo. "Subhuman" was never intended to be an album cut, and was not included on the standard editions of the band's debut album, Garbage which was released later that year. The single was excluded from the 2007 greatest hits album Absolute Garbage. more »

Burn down all your idols, destroy your idols
Create a scene
There goes all your reason, it's helter skelter
It's not a dream

Come down from the altar, remove your blindfold
What do you see?
Nothing left to do here, there's nothing new here
It's all the same

You're going down, down, down, how low can you go? x3
Hare, Hare Krishna, was that your sister
A covergirl?
A wasted primadonna, she lost her way here

She disappeared
Come back to your altar, and build a fire
It's getting cold
Nothing stops the rain here, there's not a soul here

You're all alone
You're going down, down, down, how low can you go? 
You're going down, down, down, how low can you go? 
You're going down, down, down, how low can you go? 

Here we go now
Build a new religion, no inhibition
No alibi
Televised confession, a true obsession

Is on the rise
Miscommunication, disinformation
A perfect waste
Bite the sacred apple

Suck the poison
Enjoy the taste
You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down 
You're going down, down, down 

You're going down, down, down 
How low can you go?
How low can you go? 
How low can you go?

How low can you go?
