A global pandemic hit while working on this song.
So we kept on working, solving some inner issues, finding hope in sounds and creativity.
Who even thought I’d be questioning its release because of a political situation.
While executing my right to protest these past few weeks I came across a sign with the phrase: “Israel, we’re in a toxic relationship”
My heart froze.
I was in a toxic relationship.
This song, this album is about a toxic relationship.
You don’t know you’re in one until you’re out of one.
You don’t know you’re in one until you process what you went through and now we’re processing it as a nation.
We’re processing it globally.
And we’re fully awake.
NO MORE.
This song was not born as a political reference,
But it fits just right.
Let’s get out of this toxic situation.
SOS
lyrics
You don’t get the pleasure of seeing me hurt
Soon, you’ll be down on your knees eating dirt
Here is all that pressure, that made you blurt
All of the things we had tried to abort
Now all that’s left is us
Sink or swim we’re losing
Sink or swim it’s all a game to you
Sink or swim we’re losing
Once again
Once again
Once again
You had found a treasure under a million stones
Now, you’re a mess kneeling down, for my worth
I get pleasure from scratching yours
Sit here and be the crowd for your rebirth
Now all that’s is love
Now you’ve pulled the trigger on my lonely pride
How can i trust when I’ve lost my sight
Now all that’s left is trust
No more
