Killed from Silhouettes by Davghter
The violent and heartbreaking murder of Brianna Ghey, a 16 year old trans girl, was covered by the ever increasingly transphobic British press with minimal respect or dignity, dead-named and misgendered throughout. This track is a gut wrenching dive into the lack of responsibility that the press took for their role in her death. It is DSBM at its best, icy cold and unsettling. “KILLED” mourns the murder of a child ‘killed by the dog whistle, killed by the knife, killed by the headlines, for living your life’. Rest in pride, Brianna.

Lyrics
Cold, alone, muddy and wet
Left to die, by friends that you met
A voice so free, a song cut so short
And yet in your death, your life they distort
Falling over themselves not to mourn
But to throw you their backhanded scorn
They shout of your end and your fame,
But refuse to remember your name
We know what this tale becomes
We read the words that pound like drums
Yes, your body did succumb
But true mourning never comes
Killed by the dog whistle
Killed by the knife
Killed by the headlines
For living your life
Killed by the dog whistle
Killed by the knife
Killed by the headlines
For living your life
