Rejection
40 Below Summer · Invitation To The Dance
Just one taste and I needed more of your sweet honey
I want you to feel my pain
I want you don't walk away
I need you the time is right
I need to hold you tight
Rejection - I can't believe I'm wrong
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - I can't believe you're gone
Rejection - Why'd you have to turn the page?
Rejection - What the fuck did I do?
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - You broke me in two
Rejection
Rejection
What the fuck did I do?
What did I do to deserve the blame?
Remember this and donÂ’t forget my name
Handle this shit before I rope ya
I'm gonna slit ya throat before I smoke ya
Bet it all, but you don't own me
You tried to punk me, but you don't know me
You tried to blow me off without no question
YouÂ’d better pray for divine intervention
DonÂ’t walk away
Just run away
You really didn't think I'd let you walk away from me
Just one more time I need to feel your lips around this piece
If you could come my way
What could I do to make you stay?
Then you could penetrate my life
Then you'd rip me up inside
Rejection - I can't believe I'm wrong
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - I can't believe you're gone
Rejection - Why'd you have to turn the page?
Rejection - What the fuck did I do?
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - You broke me in two
Rejection
Rejection
Pushing and crushing me down on my knees
Taking and breaking and making me scream
I canÂ’t contain this; IÂ’ll make you all bleed
YouÂ’ve opened me up now youÂ’ll feel my disease
In my suffering (Stop)
Suffering (Dying too)
In my suffering (Stop)
Suffering (Dying too)
In my suffering (Stop)
Suffering (Dying too)
In my suffering (Stop)
Suffering
And even in my suffering, IÂ’ll make you believe
You canÂ’t believe, IÂ’ll make you disappear
Occurred to me and then it became clear
Rejected me oh no, I don't think so
I'll take you out quick don't even blink so
You cut me up and hung me out to dry
Got your itch like a bitch you made me cry, but
Retribution, confusion, illusion
Hairline fracture, multiple contusion
Don't walk away
Just run away
Rejection
40 Below Summer delivers 'Rejection' as a stark, atmospheric song on 'Invitation To The Dance,' a recording that exemplifies their signature blend of electronic textures and melancholic vocals. The track serves as a poignant counterpoint to the album's broader themes of social disconnection and emotional vulnerability, reflecting the artist's consistent focus on the human condition within modern digital landscapes. Produced with a minimalist approach, the song's sparse arrangement allows the raw emotion of the performance to dominate, characteristic of the artist's work during this period. It stands as a key piece in their discography, capturing a specific mood of urban isolation that resonates deeply with listeners seeking authentic, unadorned electronic music.
