about

No matter where we go, our shadows are things that we carry with us. My new single reckons with my anxiety. It can be manic in the moment and is often hard to put into words.

“I want to hold it in my hands then set it free."

I can visualize and almost feel what it would be like putting it out to pasture and experience a moment of peace. There can be a level of desperation in seeking to solve your anxiety, along with a need to intimately understand it and a profound willingness to let it go. Yet there is a bit of celebration in admitting our struggles.

lyrics

Shadows, you’re nothing but a villain to me
My heartbeats like the engine in an old machine
A part of me now but I’m desperate defeat
Those shadows

I want to put it behind us
Want to pull down the blinders
Breathe it in like virus
Break it down to a science
I want to play it like a sad, sad song
Want to ride it til the wheels come off
I want to hold it in my hands then set it free

Shadows, you’re nothing but a villain to me
My heartbeats like the engine in an old machine
A part of me now but I’m desperate defeat
Those shadows

I see it when I close my eyes
It’s never really satisfied
I hear it all night trying to knock knock knock down the door
I want to take it for a long, long drive
Want to talk it til the daisies rise
I want to hold it in my hand then set it free

Shadows, you’re nothing but a villain to me
My heartbeats like the engine in an old machine
A part of me now but I’m desperate defeat
Those shadows
