War

This collaboration came quite naturally as Gints guitar just rang out through my speakers so eloquently. And I felt compelled to write lyrics about being torn between forgiveness and self preservation. Something I think many people like myself, may have faced at some point in life. Wether it be in love, family, and friendships. Life is a gift that were sometimes forced to protect, to be truly happy & safe.

Talking

Well, this song is about the unavoidable struggle of being misunderstood & judged. Ultimately learning you'll be disliked for whatever reason beyond your understanding. And most importantly, how to not be so worried about it. Just refocus that energy & do you! Lyrically, I chose verbiage that showed an initial concern for how people could perceive me. But as the song progresses, I tried to write something that highlighted the processing of one's mind toward self acceptance through social conflict.
