Content Note: Mentions of domestic violence and suicide.
A powerful display of hurt and rage, As Lions and Lambs’ latest single “No Return” echoes the thoughts of someone experiencing domestic violence. Backed by a string of breakdowns, the vocals and lyrics are equally brutal:
“In that moment life seemed serene Until you took away the thing that made me, me Raped my innocence Raped my innocence”
The song begins in a dark place and continues to dip deeper into the depths of despair. “No Return” speaks of a tragic reality in a candid way that is rarely seen in faith-based music.
“Left to rot with all of my self-doubt Hate, pain, fear, rage Enslaved to your game”
Shining a light on the fact that over 10 million people suffer through domestic abuse every year in the United States, As Lions and Lambs have released a message that needs to be heard. “No Return” is a vicious song that refuses to water down the stories that far too many people are living out today.
You can find “No Return” on Spotify.
