Objectify! Testify! from GERM by BLDSUGR!
This song is about objectification of bodies, mostly women/ femme presenting. It is a song about those frustrations of being seen as an object rather than a human being and punches back against it. The song acknowledges that it probably will never stop however, there will always be consequences and it will not be ignored.

Lyrics
Objectifiers are a select type
Can only leer as if it is their right
Their hands they shoot out, claws looking to grab
They cop a feel on whatever they can
I see them slowly as they corner me
They croon that their touch that it's praise to me
However, when unsolicited i don't agree.
So keep your fucking hands off of me!
Where's the love?
Without the suffering?
Bend your knee
Be subservient
A pretty face, is a silent one
Now you're ready, for consumption
How can they feel your woes?
With their hearts of stone?
They'll laugh as you go, to the depths of the low
And yeah they'll
And yeah they'll take you
Yeah they'll take you for dumb
They wanna
They wanna use your body just for fun
And it's a
A tragedy to see how their glazed eyes
Objecti-
Objectify us and you are their prize!
The objects see our bodies like were fruit
Who's the ripest and who's had her use
Never considering they too are bruised
There's rules for one but never rules for two
They'll gaze in your eyes but they wont see you
Can they or can't they take a bite of your fruit
And this my mantra but it's not my truth
I'll make you testify beneath my boot!
How can they feel your woes?
With their hearts of stone?
They'll laugh as you go, to the depths of the low
And yeah they'll
And yeah they'll take you
Yeah they'll take you for dumb
They wanna
They wanna use your body just for fun
And it's a
A tragedy to see how their glazed eyes
Objecti-
Objectify us and you are their prize!
Objectify and you will testify
I'll make a bitch shake and book, but you are not off the hook
Cause you know what you have done and it has sealed your fate
I'll make you shake at the knees i'll never do what you please!
Their gaze is acid and it penetrates my bones it's so corrosive to the soul that shit burns me tenfold
I'm fucking done with being seen as spoilt fruit, you won't bite and you won't chew
Round your throat, i'll choke you!
And pity it won't even stew in my brain you have caused so much pain i'm not something to tame!
Objectify you'll testify to me!
My entire life, i've been told that it's a compliment when grown men wanna cat call me on the street when i was 13 years old. FUCK YOU! That is NOT a compliment FUCK YOU!

Emerging from the industrial heartlands of Birmingham, BLDSUGR! are a ferocious Triple Threat Trio. Born in 2023, weaving a tapestry of sound that dances between the realms of shock rock and the heavy oppressive tones of doom metal, punk and mysticism of the gothic to forge what they call ‘doom punk’. BLDSUGR! is an inglorious mix of theatrical spectacle, gothic excess and unapologetic grit.
