Eric Sleeper’s newest track, “Lotto,” makes you want to smash a guitar over someone’s head and scream with ecstasy afterward.
This feeling of liberation makes a bold statement with relatable and targeted lyrics and dynamic full band contributing to these tones of angst and acceptance. Listeners catch themself half-headbanging to the pulsing drum beat, moving this song forward and holding back shouting the lyrics as it purges out the feelings of toxic people finally leaving your life.
“The song is about letting go of something ‘I’m in too deep to chase your love’ basically reflects on being so entrenched in someone’s toxicity that you no longer have the energy to love them anymore. ‘I hit the lotto when you were gone’ plays on the thought that you are better off without people in your corner if they don’t have your best interest at heart. The song also represents fighting against adversity and challenging complacency to truly find yourself as an artist and human being.” – Eric Sleeper
