We all know the music industry is hard. It always has been. But with the changes in the streaming industry and the rise of TikTok its becoming increasingly difficult to make your mark. Musicians have always used their own music as a platform to shout important messages. While not quite the protest songs of Bob Dillon, YouTuber Nik Nocturnal has an interesting take on the problems faced in the music industry. We need more songs like this!
According to Nik…”‘Industry’ isn’t directed at anyone specific. It’s just the long-told tale of artists getting absolutely destroyed by parts of the music industry – that make them give up any unique talent and potential they have to live their dream – in exchange for broken promises that further grow the power the industry has on artists,”
And you can tell he’s not happy right from the start…”F*** the industry / I don’t wanna be just another name lost in a spreadsheet / F*** the industry / Double back on me / Once you see it you’ll believe you won’t disagree.“
Nik Nxk – Industry full lyrics
F*** the industry, I don’t wanna be
Just another name lost in a spreadsheet
F*** the industry, double back on me
Once you see it you’ll believe you won’t disagree
F*** the industry, I don’t wanna be
Just another name lost in a spreadsheet
F*** the industry, double back on me
Once you see it you’ll believe you won’t disagree
Sign a deal with the devil just to get on their level
Offering blood sweat and tears in exchange for wasted years
Taking all that you’ve worked for and you want to create
Making money from music you cannot relate
Faking virality is a formality f***** up mentality far from reality
Name of the game is unoriginality upload a TikTok to score a fatality
I CAN’T DO THIS…
ANYMORE
F*** the industry, I don’t wanna be
Just another name lost in a spreadsheet
F*** the industry, double back on me
Once you see it you’ll believe it live in misery
You won’t disagree
Double back on me
F*** THE INDUSTRY
LIVE IN MISERY
F*** THE INDUSTRY
LIVE IN MISERY
F*** THE INDUSTRY
LIVE IN MISERY
