ONE FALL - Rats Abandon Ship (Official Music Video)

"Rats Abandon Ship" is the debut music video by Salem, MA melodic punk quartet ONE FALL. The song is from ONE FALL’s self-titled debut EP, released in November 2022, and the video was directed by Joshua Hand (@gotdamnjoshua). The New England-based director has worked with numerous local bands and artists, as well as national acts like Kendrick Lamar and NIN. “Rats Abandon Ship” features Joshua’s signature aggressive and gritty style and was shot in the Gallows Haüs basement in Salem, MA.
Following their sold-out debut show at Faces Brewing Co., ONE FALL’s next performance is Friday, January 20, 2023 at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, MA alongside rising star ska darlings Pink Slip, esteemed Rock & Roll Rumble winner Carissa Johnson, and North Shore riff lords Oh The Humanity!.

LYRICS
We’re foaming at the mouth this time
Somehow we never seem to get to it.
All around, they’re saying,
"Was just an honest mistake" but I
I thought I'd never hear the end of it
Time and eyes conveying:
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
With no direction, like rats abandon ship.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
With no direction, to stop the suffering.
We lose friends,
Get by on weekend nights and overdrive.
Ten gets you five.
(Head down!) Head down, avert your eyes. (Head down!)
Or you will never hear the end of it.
"Stand aside," they’re saying.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction, like rats abandon ship.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
Just let me down (Just let me down).
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
Trying to save it. Trying to save it. Trying to save it.
(whoa) Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction, like rats abandon ship
(whoa) Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction.
ONE FALL features Helen McWilliams (Tijuana Sweetheart, Petty Morals) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Caleb Wheeler (Razors in the Night, Giant Target) on drums, Joe MacFadzen (The Big Sway, Los Bungalitos) on bass, and Phill Hunt (Drug Blood, Giant Target) on lead guitar.
