Flower Girls

The inspiration for “Waterfall” was unrequited love. Born out of a massive crush that could never work out, I instead took to daydreaming about the possibility of it all. “Waterfall" is a song outlining and detailing the parallel universe where we are together and intertwined, where there’s nothing beyond the feel of our bodies existing on the same plane. “Waterfall" unearths as the aftermath of Flower Girls. We’ve left our void of a town and all the darkness with it, and now there’s nothing left to do except enjoy the limitless company of each other.

Waterfall

“Trouble” is an anthem for the romantically self-destructive, like a song version of a support group. It captures the pulling, addictive feeling of going after someone who keeps you on your toes or makes you work for it, whether or not they actually want you. There’s a point when it stops being about the crush, and becomes about the chase. This song is for anyone who has fallen for someone who doesn't feel the same, or been strung along and then ghosted. It's for the people to make a new memory.
