Description: GULES’ newest nostalgia trip is her new single, ‘mean.’ The song was built from the foundation of destruction, stress and self-sabotage. The first line says it all, “teach me a lesson, bring out the carton of cigarettes.” A shameless confession of guilt. ‘mean’ is the cry for help that you’ll want to stick around to coddle.

about

GULES’ newest nostalgia trip is her new single, ‘mean.’ The song was built from the foundation of destruction, stress and self-sabotage. The first line says it all, “teach me a lesson, bring out the carton of cigarettes.” A shameless confession of guilt. ‘mean’ is the cry for help that you’ll want to stick around to coddle.

lyrics

Teach me a lesson
Bring out the carton of cigarettes

I won’t hold a grudge.
You can thank bourbon for my puffed up chest

Tendancy’s a funny word
A habit that’s preferred
Who’s to say I’ll be good
I wouldn’t dare

Mean
Call me that because you’re scared
Mean
How else do I know that you care

Take me to the doctors
Give me pills that’ll fix me

I’ll try to swallow
But I can’t promise anything

Instinctively a funny word
An impulse that’s preferred
Who’s to say I’ve done good
You wouldn’t dare

Mean
Call me that because you’re scared
Mean
How else do I know that you care

Aren't I lovely
Aren't I
Isn't this
love
