Shibboleth Lyrics by Viko

Uneven Foundation

2023

Give me a sign to let me know that you are
Part of the eccentric clan of ours
Holding to our wide eclectic tastes
As long as we all think the same

I see fakers everywhere dig into the culture
Thinking they know what it means to be one of the tribe
Couldn’t possibly name three songs by the band that’s on your t-shirt
The bands that you like suck
And so do all their listeners

Chorus:
What’s wrong with what I like, so long as I enjoy it?
All music has merit whether you like it or not
Could you define what it means to be a “fake fan”?
Could you define what “real metal” means, anyway?

You can’t be one of us if we aren’t one and the same
You have to conform to our version of non-conformity
We aren’t truly deviating if our tastes aren’t identical
Classiness isn’t for us, so go ahead and throw that away

Chorus:
What’s wrong with what I like, so long as I enjoy it?
All music has merit whether you like it or not
Could you define what it means to be a “fake fan”?
Could you define what “real metal” means, anyway?

What’s with all the elite mindset none of you merited
Call yourselves inclusive when your minds have iron locks
Implement heavy metal shibboleths to keep out the unwanted
Then turn around and complain that people get put off by it
So don’t complain

Please just go outside
Please just get a life

So give me a sign to let me know that you are
Part of the eccentric clan of ours
Holding to our wide eclectic tastes
As long as we all think the same

Chorus:
What’s wrong with what I like, so long as I enjoy it?
All music has merit whether you like it or not
Could you define what it means to be a “fake fan”?
Could you define what “real metal” means, anyway?

Don’t get the wrong idea
I’m not out here to anger
Just let me like what I like
