THE STORY
Who are the musicians and how they created the song
On November 18th, 2022, a song called “The Black Bride” was released to the public.
It was created by two young Russian musicians RUDIQUE and tiar. RUDIQUE is a 23-year-old musician currently based in Berlin, he creates atmospheric electronic music, he creates the instrumental of the song. tiar is a 23-year-old singer and a songwriter currently based in Toronto, she makes rock and alternative music, she wrote lyrics and the vocal melody for the song.
Creators met in Moscow in 2020, they both were always passionate about music and songwriting, but by the time they decided to create a song together they already lived in different countries. RUDIQUE left Russia after the war started and tiar stayed for one more year to finish her studies in Moscow. These factors made creation of the song long and hard. Therefore, creators were collaborating through social media, sending each other short records of their ideas just to find that exact emotion that they wanted to put into the song, figuring out the way how it could create something that they both loved through distance and time.
The song is about a sad love story tiar went through, in which she ended up feeling left alone and betrayed. In the process of creating The Black Bride she was mad, angry, and furious about the situation but at the same time the anger made her feel empowered, she felt like she could take the power into her own hands.
THE LYRICS
“Turned my demons to my friends
I’ll do the same with yours
They look in my eyes they give me their hands
I’ll help them kill their host
Brought myself up from hell
And you will take my place
You won’t get out of my web
Don’t try to save your face
Watch me bring out a rusty knife
Pray to the gods and make me cry
My tears will burn down your shitty life
That’s why they call me “The Black Bride”
Watch me bring out a rusty knife
Pray to the gods and make me cry
My tears will burn down your ****** life
That’s why they call me “The Black Bride”
You’re pouring fuel down your throat
I think I’ll light the match
I don’t excite you anymore
But I will be your crash
Your little nosey gossip girl
Became a bird of prey
Your new baby beautiful
Is the price you’re gonna pay
Watch me bring out a rusty knife
Pray to the gods and make me cry
My tears will burn down your ****** life
That’s why they call me “The Black Bride”
The meaning and thoughts behind the song The Black Bride – RUDIQUE feat. tiar
The song is about a feeling of craving revenge for someone who hurt you, about a moment when love turns to hate. In the lines “Turned my demons to my friends, I’ll do the same with yours” the author of The Black Bride is talking about how she was struggling with mental health, and she refers to that as “her demons”. At the time when the situation that the song is about occurred, she learned how to control her emotions and her inner demons. So, then she wanted to turn the demons of a person that she is singing about against them.
In the next lines “You won’t get out of my way web, don’t try to save your face” she is saying that not only she wanted to turn their demons against them but also the people around, to affect the reputation of the person. And in the chorus the author is talking about her emotions which made her feel sad and miserable; and how now she wants to turn these feeling into the weapon against the one who created them.
THE EMOTIONS
What went through creators’ heads while writing the song
The song itself is very dark, mysterious, and quite revengeful. The instrumental of the song is electronic music that is filled with dark feelings. However, it is not sad, it is a feeling of finally breaking free, how the anger gives you strength to say goodbye to the thing that you tried to fix for so long and finally destroy it to the ground. This anger is not about screaming, hitting the walls and breaking stuff, it is about standing calmly in the shadows with a smile on your face and watching the world burn.
Creator’s words
As a creator says, “I created this song because I felt power and I wanted to share it with others. Because I know that I’m not the only one who goes through feeling powerless, hopeless, and week. Therefore, I wanted to show people that even if someone wronged you and you are a victim in the situation, it doesn’t mean you need to feel like a victim. You can take all this pain and turn it into strength and power.”
There is another emotional aspect to the song. tiar also sees the song as a piece about female empowerment. This is what she says about it herself:
“I love women’s rage, it’s beautiful. Women are mostly shown in social media is being quiet, or cute, or funny, or sad, or boring but never mad; and it’s not the truth. We must hide our anger because we’re not supposed to be angry. But we are. We want to show it and we want others to see it. We don’t want to be the ones who are scared anymore, we want to be the ones who scare others.”
