Discover the story of the song > Slaughter Beach – Clutch

The lyrics talk about a protagonist who is willing to do what they have to in order to survive, even if it means not feeling any guilt or anger. They walk hand-in-hand with their partner along Slaughter Beach, where they witness economic and maritime tragedies caused by wealthy people. The protagonist prefers to do things the old-fashioned way, like shucking clams under a strawberry moon. The chorus repeats a few times, emphasizing the economic and maritime casualties witnessed by the protagonist and their partner on Slaughter Beach, and the outro repeats the name of the beach.
