Birthed in isolation, Circles is a song that touches on the battle with your own mental health. Especially during the several lockdowns the world has had to go through and you will start falling back into old habits and feeling lost to those inner demons.

Circles

I wrote these lyrics after a really bad day and I remember sitting, crying my eyes out trying to figure out where I went wrong?

This song is really a story about how certain moments in life can either make or break you, the weight we all carry on our shoulders from these moments - that is the human condition and depending on who you surround yourselves with, you can either find the strength to keep moving forward or sadly...you can end up feeling lost and that you don't feel like you can go on any longer.

I Couldn’t Bring Myself To Say…

A quintessential DEV!NE song that pushes into the experimental direction through delicate and buried synths and production choices while having the bombastic guitar riffs and vocals that have become the signature sound for this artist.

This song is a story about two individuals who once shared a strong bond and over time that connection has deteriorated and broken down and despite wanting to repair the damage, they know it's already too late.

State Of The (He)Art

This is a different kind of love song, it's a song that looks back on the 'one that got away'

why did i let you go?

'Get Up, Kid' is a song that lyrically was inspired by Attack on Titan - one of my favourite pieces of storytelling ever and how all these brave strong characters keep on fighting, they want to be free.

Sonically, I drew inspiration from bands like Thirty Seconds To Mars and You Me At Six and wanted to write an big bombastic, high tempo, uplifting rock song.

I wanted to write a song about never giving up. When life knocks you down or there's a wall in your way then just get up, kid!

Get Up, Kid

'The Golden Funeral' is by far the strongest single I have released. I wanted to create a song that had a lot of energy about it and took me back to my alternative rock roots but to also try and modernise it like most rock bands are doing today.

Lyrically the song is about letting go of the past, not letting it destroy but allowing it to propel your forward and redefine who you are.

The Golden Funeral

‘how did i end up like this?’ is DEV!NE’s first time at the helm of completely producing and mixing music - working remotely back and forth with Mark Morrow co-producing. 

A song about deteriorating mental health and where it can take you and where it has taken DEV!NE in the past.

The lyrical content is still very much in the DNA of DEV!NE’s previous releases but this song takes him to new and exciting territory.
