Although the bones of this song were composed in the early 90s, Lethal<\/strong> was brought forward for production shortly after I completed work on The Unforetold<\/strong> as one of my rare attempts to write something a traditional song format. I was definitely inspired by Pet Shop Boys<\/strong> when I wrote this. In the 2010s, they were continuing to come out with these amazing simple dance\/pop songs harkening back to their earlier days and I wanted to do something similar. I’m not sure if I intended then for it to be on an album or not, it was more of an exercise to keep my production skills from atrophying. But what I do remember is that I was approached to write some demos for a possible musical version of The Terminator <\/strong><\/em>that was coming out, and this was one of them. The musical did ultimately get finished, my song did not until much later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed this song in 2023 and the lyrics are about a relationship I once had wherein sentiments and commitments expressed at the beginning did not prove lasting once circumstances changed. So it is about a failure of trust. I had had this lyrical idea about writing a “he said\/she said” kind of song, and this was the result. It was included on the Candor <\/a>album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
