Everything I Swallowed

Ask Your Heart Why

"Interpersonal" is a haunting, introspective ballad that delves into the suffocating cycle of self-comparison and the blurred boundaries between identity and perception. Through poetic, mirror-laden imagery, the song explores the way personal struggles become entangled with how we see ourselves in others—always measuring, never quite matching. The lyrics paint a portrait of existential exhaustion, questioning whether breaking free from these reflections would bring clarity or simply leave emptiness behind. The repetition of "And that’s all there is to it" underscores a weary resignation, while the bridge’s shattered mirror offers a fleeting glimpse of liberation. A melancholic meditation on selfhood, connection, and the ghosts we can’t stop staring at.

[Verse 1]
All problems are interpersonal
No exception
They spiral back to the same reflection
And if you don’t see it yet
Look until the glass forgets

[Verse 2]
And you’ll see
It’s the ghost in the mirror
Dressed in someone else’s name
And you’ll see
It’s the ghost in the mirror
Whispering, “Measure again”

[Chorus]
And that’s all there is to it
And that’s all there is to it
But what if I let go of it?
Is there more than this to it?

[Break]

[Verse 3]
We’re mirrors screaming reflections in the night
Projecting ghosts instead of light
I see myself when I look at you
But the lines are blurred and the pain breaks through

[Bridge]
What if the mirror shattered?
Would the silver crack?
Or would I finally see myself
Without you in my back?

[Chorus]
And that’s all there is to it
And that’s all there is to it
But what’s left when it’s split?
Is that all there is to it?

[Outro]
And that’s all there is
Just the ghost in the mirror

[End]


Interpersonal

Fight for Hope
[Verse]
When the night feels cold and dark we roam
Through the shadows we must carve a home
Every tear a stone to pave the way
In the quiet heart
The fight will stay

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

[Verse 2]
The whispers tell us dreams are all but gone
Yet in the silence strength is built upon
The smallest flicker can set skies ablaze
In the ashes new beginnings raise

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

[Bridge]
The mountain looms but your soul can climb
The hourglass begs yet it’s not your time
Through the hurt and the cracks you grow
Unearth the stars beneath the snow

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

Fight for Hope

You showed me the way
You showed me the light
I don’t need your help now, I’m alright
You tried to attack
I tried to defend
There’s no need for you to pretend

Just let me go and you will see
I’ll follow the Sun and remain being free
Don’t get in my way 'cause I’m on my own
I like being alone

You gave me protection, you created a wall
I wanted a friend, but that’s all
You told me to believe in the magic of youth
You took my life from me that’s the truth

So let me go and you will see
I’ll follow the Sun and remain being free
Don’t get in my way ‘cause I’m on my own
I like being alone

We started a fight, I couldn’t control
I wanted the life that you stole
I tried to believe, I wanted so bad
But now I’m alone and I’m glad

Let me go and you will see
I’ll follow the Sun and remain being free
Don’t feel bad that I’m on my own
I, I like being alone

You gave me protection
You created a wall
I wanted a friend, but that’s all
You told me to believe in the magic of youth
You took my life from me that’s the truth

Let me go and you will see
I’ll follow the Sun and remain being free
Don’t get in my way ‘cause I’m on my own
I like being alone

Let me go and now you see
I followed the Sun and remained being free
Don’t feel bad that I’m on my own
My life... being alone

Lyrics and Music written on guitar in 1991.

Mindy Chisholm - Being Alone

The emotional heart of the album. A soaring power ballad that begins tenderly and explodes into a massive, choir-backed chorus.

Show Me the Way to Love

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.
