Over the years, I’ve experienced an intentional softening. I was, at one time, deeply unaffected by my own life. I was harsh and cold, and I felt like things were happening to me without my consent. In time, I wandered into whimsy. I became gentle and soft, and it was all owing to an intuition that everything I’d been through, and every choice I’d made, whether divined, careless, impulsive, backwards, intentional, or reckless was meant for me and could be rebranded as such. That the best thing I could do for myself was to try things out and tangle with the world. That it was all giving me necessary information about my life, information I needed to be the truest expression of who I am.

Everything You Do Is Meant For You

The Trip” is a hallucinatory dive into a cocaine-fuelled dreamscape — where time bends, memories blur, and the self drifts between fantasy and confession. A surreal mix of escape, confrontation, and reflection, it captures the highs and shadows of a mind spiralling through time.

The Trip

i do (outro)

the whole street knows i’m scared
cos i’m turning all the lights on
before i go to bed
she said
‘all my life I’ve craved a feeling that I can not name - it’s like there’s something waiting’
the garden with the graves in

head gone
type-cast
smoke weed
makes the time pass
sextape
joyride
lucid dream in rewind
hold you
in spaces
where they can’t see our faces
i cried
at the tv
cos a dog died
in a movie

cos when missing you’s so cruel
your love’s made me a fool
now i’m drowning with the ghouls
sit around all afternoon
and think of you
in a skirt

the whole street knows i’m scared
cos i’m turning all the lights on
before i go to bed
she said
‘all my life I’ve craved a feeling that I can not name - it’s like there’s something waiting’
the garden with the graves in

the garden with the graves in
