The story — in my words
I wrote this song at a time when I felt like I was suffocating under the weight of everyone else’s expectations. I was looking at the life I’d constructed and realized I had built my own prison, brick by hollow brick, just to fit in. I remember sitting in my studio during a particularly bad week where every headline felt like a lie and every conversation felt forced. We cut the vocals in a single take because I wanted that raw, desperate grit to come through—you can hear me practically clawing at the mic. It’s about that moment when the pressure makes you sick and you realize the only way to survive is to torch the old versions of yourself and fight back until you find the key to your own freedom.
