The story — in my words

I wrote this song at a time when 'concrete jaws' felt like a literal description of my daily commute and my headspace. I was watching everything I thought was solid turn into shards of glass, and I realized that survival isn't actually about the big, heroic stand—it's about the ugly, quiet persistence of taking one more step when your foundation is cracking. We cut the tracks to feel a bit mechanical and cold at first, like that 'machinery' of the world I mention in the second verse, only to let the guitars break through as the fire starts to build. It’s a song for the person who is bruised and exhausted but refuses to let the dust settle over them. To me, it’s not just a cliché; it’s a manual for staying alive when the sky turns black and gold.
