A secret language shines so bright

I think we don't fully realize the impact of our decisions until they've already happened. Many of you know that I recently attempted to move away from home; not many of you know that it didn't work at all, and I ended up coming right back to Colorado. I learned a lot from the experience, mostly about how much I miss all of my friends and loved ones when they're too far away.

This song is about someone in particular who was very hard to say goodbye to, and the dilemma that I faced when I came home. Saying goodbye can be sad and upsetting, but sometimes saying hello again can be just as hard.

Not too long ago, somebody who I trusted and respected turned on me, and completely alienated and isolated me. I opened myself up to somebody who I believed I could love, and the wounds they inflicted upon me become that much more painful as a result. It took a long time before I realized that it wasn't my fault. Self doubt and sadness haunted me for months, but the pain has enlightened me in ways I would never have expected. 

This song is about my newfound perspective, looking back at a relationship that once had a potential to be amazing, and which turned cold and sour without warning. It's about sorting through all my naivety with a discerning eye, and picking apart all the pretty lies I used to tell myself in an effort to maintain sanity. Most importantly, it's about burning a bridge to a place I know I never need to go again. There is nothing wrong with breaking ties with truly toxic people, regardless of what they may have meant to you in the past. 

Letting go of responsibility for others is hard, but extremely important. We need to be able to admit when other people have wronged us, and to be free from the self doubt that arises when we are hurt. It is not your obligation to save or coddle the people you love, even if it hurts to know you can't save them. It is not your fault that some people will never truly appreciate you. Even if you admit this, it may not stop you from trying to fix them, or from trying to fix yourself to appease them. 

If you relate to this, find it within yourself to let your past stay in the past, and to admit when you're sacrificing yourself for somebody who wouldn't do the same for you. Break ties if you need to. Burn bridges if you have to. Life is too beautiful to spend time dwelling on people you can't change. You're better than that. I promise. 

With all of these experiences behind me, I can confidently say: I will not make the same mistakes again.

Lyrics: 

I'm banking on a total change of plan 
The ground's breaking but I won't let go of who I am 
You start shaking like you know what's about to happen 
And I know what I need to say 
But I can't seem to form the sentences 

So I'm taking all the letters that you sent 
All your sentiments and your photographs and gifts 
Into the backyard with a match 
And a bottle of gin that they'll be drowning in 
Before they burn to death 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again 

I'm learning what it's like–what it's like to live 
I'm burning with a fire that won't forgive 
All your sentiments and your photographs and gifts 
They turn to ashes in the wind 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again 

We'll burn 
We'll burn 
It will burn 
We'll burn forever 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again

Sefaro - Light Up (VIP)

There is always the point in a journey where the path is never clear. There is no real guidance. There is no real way of knowing where you are. Walking forever until everything comes together at once. Perhaps that's not what's meant to happen. When we're trudging through the foggy nights with no way of knowing where we're going. We just have to believe we know where we're going, because that takes us to where we want to go. It doesn't matter how we get there. Maybe it'll take forever. Maybe it'll be tomorrow. We'll still believe we'll know where we're going, regardless. Even if our methods are makeshift.

You know, after not releasing for 3 months it feels surreal to be uploading a song again & sharing an adventure that I've crafted. Whenever I upload a song, I want to upload a song that has care, effort & meaning put throughout it. It could be made in a day, or a month, or maybe even longer so. Though, I just want the track to speak & carry the listener through an adventure that tells a story. Most importantly crafting the story of who AphixSky is. I constantly try to refine but also stick to the style that I adore so much. Makeshift was something that was started last year & was a project that I kept procrastinating on. I really wish I had better time management skills, as I tend to procrastinate & start new projects than finish ones that I want to finish. A blessing & a curse. Though, I did get this out, so I suppose I'm getting a little better at that haha. 
It's also really astonishing to think that this is my 2nd solo release of the year. 5 months have already passed & though I didn't get much songs out, I feel that I've gotten songs out that I want to be heard. There is so much going on behind the scenes that just get me pumped & everything that I'm constantly learning is making me grin. Honestly, all of your support is unforgettable & makes me grin to know end. Just recently, I've hit 1000 followers & that's honestly the thing that surprises me the most. The majority of people, that start feel that they don't do so with no real path, or intent. Just creation. That's how I was. 2014 was when I started, and to think that 3 years later I'd have 1000 followers. I really have come a long way & to everyone that has supported me. Either from the beginning, or just recently, you're all fantastic & I love your constant support. I'm officially nearing 3 years of producing around the end of May & that is just adding on to the things that shock me. Everyone I've met, regardless if I talk to them or not has helped me & helped shaped my music. Honestly can't express how much I love you all. See you til' my next release & I hope you love this one a lot <3
