I Am 18 Years Old Now
“It’s about the fact that my life’s gone to shit since I turned 18. It’s the initial realization that whenever I was a kid, turning 18 seemed so fucking cool and fun, and how bad I wanted it. Now that I am 18, it’s like everything in my life has changed from the fact that I’m becoming an adult.”

“It’s like you have somebody in your life that you care about but you really fucking hate them. Because you remember everything about them. It didn’t work out and now you’re left to sit and think about it. The majority of it is how much you know how much you can love but hate somebody at the same time.”
October 24th 2023
“It was a track I made with little chops of a voice memo that I made on October 24, 2023. It was a really rough time for me mentally, and it marked the period of time right before I started noticing that there was a problem with my mental health. It’s a track about a kid having a really bad mental breakdown and not really loving themselves at all.”
Phone Call
“It’s a little thing I made that kind of culminates a lot of experiences that I’ve had through first of all, being in the hospital for the period, and second, the idea of how close I’ve been in my life to ending it.”
I Hope You Find Yourself
“It’s pretty simple. It’s kind of just a monologue of me talking to myself and you know, coming to this idea that like, I really hope that I find something to live for. I hope I find me in the process of all of this. It’s one of those things where whether or not I do or don’t, it is what it is. Me from the past really hopes that I figure it out and don’t stay in the headspace that I’ve been in.
