2019 statistics show 2.2 million men worldwide suffered physically during an abusive relationship during the previous 12 months, a statistic largely overlooked by the media. Victim to psychological abuse and blackmail from his former partner, Slam Me bravely tackles these issues head on, giving a voice to the reported 1 in 4 men who are abused but never report the crime. Well stop right there as I am about to introduce you to not just a great new artist, but as you might have guessed from the opening to my musical narrative , this guy VCage wants you to be educated by his music and in this particular case I think we should listen. Multi-instrumentalist, VCage, has released his debut single, Slam Me, a track which highlights a subject which is still considered one of the great taboos in society – violence and abuse committed against men by women. VCage was himself the victim of a toxic relationship which spilled over into physical abuse and he hopes Slam Me will give people around the world the confidence to realise they are not alone in their suffering and that it’s right to speak out and act against abuse of all kinds, whatever your gender or background.
Just dig into his meaningful lyrics and get a feel for his emotion and heart. Now it’s not often I give the lyrics to a whole song but in VCage’s case I will make an exception .
You touched me like everything was a game
You fooled me into a stupid mistake
You set my heart on fire
Emotions started to rise to my head
Your poison was pumping into my veins
I knew that I was gone
I never thought,
that I would fall,
But I kept craving for more
Go on and slam me against the wall
And tell me something that turns me on
Make me believe that I am the one
Then throw me to the floor
You got me thinking it was my fault
And I keep begging for you to Stop
But then I’m back to see your next move
I just can’t get enough
In silence I cried the lone and the pain
Anxiety was the first thing on my day
I couldn’t even breathe
And slowly reality starts to fade
I’m living between a dream and a hell
I think I’m going insane
No I won’t let you take it all
This time you are coming back for more
Come on I’ll slam you against the wall
I’ll tell you something that turns you on
Make you believe that you are the one
Then throw you to the floor
I’ll make you feel like It was your fault
And you’ll keep begging for me to stop
Then you’ll be back to see my next move
Jump on the bus and get on board to help this fantastic new talent, spread the word, as I feel there is indeed an new star on the horizon if you don’t believe me just check his soundcloud.
