Meghan Pulles isn't mincing words on “Lambs For The Slaughter.” In a post-Roe v. Wade landscape, where political silence is no longer neutral, Pulles takes a clear stance, channeling her frustration into a raw and evocative anthem. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter opens with acoustic strums, her harmonies gliding over the track with a simmering intensity. The arrangement is minimal at first, but layers of instrumentation—subtle bass lines, extra guitar flourishes—creep in as the song builds momentum.
Vocally, Pulles is at her most direct, stripping back any artifice to deliver lyrics that land with a punch. The message is unequivocal: the fight was for nothing, the future feels buried, and the world is becoming one she can no longer envision for her daughter. The track’s straightforward lyricism doesn’t dull its impact; if anything, it sharpens it, making each line feel like a gut punch.
While the melody remains approachable, it's the bleak, pointed nature of the lyrics that sticks with you. “Lambs For The Slaughter” isn’t just a protest song—it’s a personal reckoning, and in its despair, there’s a strange kind of hope that art can still push people toward a conversation they’re avoiding. Pulles leaves no room for ambiguity here; she’s calling out the stakes, hoping the music can make the change that politics won’t.
