Song of the Day: Assassin – Sultan & Shepard

The Canadian duo Sultan & Shepard released their LP Something, Everything in March 2021 and one of the most moving tracks off it comes in the form of “Assassin”. The LP as whole is slower than what you’d typically think of EDM featuring mostly instrumentals with a calming vibe that can be classified as a mix of melodic house and techno. “Something, Everything”, the track that shares the album’s namesake is another one to check out. Take a listen and check out the lyrics to “Assassin” below.

Assassin Lyrics

Less a lover, more a fighter
But I’m tired of fighting to hold on
Got too many scars to hide ’em
So it’s easier bein’ on my own

But you
Shoot first, draw blood, before I know
Yeah, you
One shot, one touch, and I let go

How did this happen?
My walls were up and
You moved without a sound
Never imagined
Like an assassin
Yeah, one look took me down

How did this happen?
My walls were up and
You moved without a sound
Never imagined
Like an assassin
Yeah, one look took me down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Yeah, one look took me down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Yeah, one look took me

Yeah, one look took me
Yeah, one look took me
