Love, a word we grow up throwing around like it's nothing. Then as we grow older and learn its true power, we attach it to less and less things, less and less people. So when we attach it to someone and they leave, we are often left hopeless and vulnerable, with nothing but memories of how magical it once was, the depictions of love in movies we grew up watching and believing all seem untrue now, unrepresentative of how damaging love really can be.

A song about someone who is fed up faking their smile, of faking their happiness and persona to be accepted by others and to be seen as ‘normal’. However, it isn’t normal to pretend to be what you are not, and this person has come to realise that. An emotional, angry piece that depicts the harsh reality of depression and it’s effects.

This song is about a loved ones passing away

This song is about being in love with your best friend

Headphones have gotten me through a lot, thieve gotta everyone else through a lot as well.
