I'm Addicted is a poignant and introspective track that explores the all-too-common experience of being trapped in an unhealthy relationship. Drawing on raw, honest pain, it speaks to the hold that a toxic partner can have on us, and the struggle to break free and move on. The song delves into the depths of misery that can come from choosing to stay in a situation that is ultimately harmful. With its driving electronic rock sound and candid lyrics, I'm Addicted is a hauntingly relatable anthem for anyone who has ever felt stuck in a cycle of codependency and yearned for the strength to break free.

Lyrics:
Let’s just say
it’s a twisted game
How we take our turns
On who’s bad each day

Wrapped in love
Seal it with a kiss
That’s a futile love
We’d get bored of this

I’m addicted
I know I want to stay
Stay with you despite
The tender pain that’s keeping me awake each night
Be cruel to me, I don’t care
Just as long as I have you here
I’d die for you, I adore you

Wreck my life
And I’ll let you too
You knew when we met
I’d be bad for you

Your touch replays
Inside my mind
Another love like this
Will be hard to find

I’m addicted
I know I want to stay
Stay with you despite
The tender pain that’s keeping me awake each night
Be cruel to me, I don’t care
Just as long as I have you here
I’d die for you, I adore you

I'm Addicted

Experience the dark, alluring pull of 'Aftertaste'. With its ethereal vocals and driving electronic rhythms, this track takes you on a journey through the shadowy world of temptation and desire. But beware, for beneath its seductive surface lies a deeper meaning. As you get lost in the music, you may find yourself grappling with a haunting memory of something that once was. Will you succumb to the allure of the past, or will you find the strength to move on? One listen to 'Aftertaste' and you'll be left with a yearning for more, long after the song has ended.

Lyrics:

I just wanna be loved
Like a rose in the rain
What would it be like to lie
With my own dopamine

Pretty flowers
Pressed to powder
I only wanted you
As my comfort
Til you dropped me in
And now this soul’s askew

All I’m left with is an aftertaste
My cold empty chasm of a heart is slow in pace
I’ll be bathing in the memory
Always holding onto what was once so interlaced

Aftertaste

Dive into the hypnotic and timeless, 'Honey.’ A head-out-the-sunroof dream pop anthem, infused with notes of '90s grunge. Majestic pads, heavy guitar, and punchy drums create a feel-good joyride. The ethereal vocal melody tells the story of an unsettling romantic desire: 'laced with an essence of disgrace, and pleasure painted on your face.' A coming-of-age journey of self-discovery and exploration, 'Honey' merges classic and modern sounds harmoniously.

Lyrics:
There’s something dysfunctional about the way this works
I can’t recognise
Why there’s something so fun to me about the way it hurts
When I fantasise

Stuck in the corners of my mind
It’s watching art before my eyes
It feels so good to be apart
Laced with an essence of disgrace
And pleasure painted on your face
It sounds so wrong but feels so nice

Undecided whether you deserve to have your cake
And eat it too
But electric currents running through my legs and to my brain
Say eat till your full

Stuck in the corner of a room
Passion on which my eyes are glued
Tsunami’s dripping from inside
Laced with an essence of disgrace and pleasure painted on your face
It sounds so wrong it must be right

And oh no
These feelings are consuming me
But I can’t wait for you to dip into honey

So sweet
Slippery
So warm 
and lovely

And oh no
These feelings are consuming me
But I can’t wait
For you to dip into honey

Honey

An exploration through the best of rock and electronica, "Empty as Always" delves into themes of inner healing and the tumultuous path of personal growth. With a symphony of distinct sounds that tickle every corner of the mind, from melodic guitar and synths complimented by breakbeats and bongo drums. It fastens you to a rocket and propels you into the unexpected. The grand uniqueness transports you to unanticipated realms, surpassing expectations and leading you on an unforgettable expedition.

Lyrics:
Locked in love
But not sure it could measure up
Self control
Is not enough to feed my soul

Lacking in self praise
I’m empty as always
Chemicals have worn down
All the drugs don’t work now
Sudden introversion
I’m a different person now

All that growth
It somehow happened on its own
In a zone
Yet somehow I still feel the load

Despite all my cliches
I’m empty as always
Everyone I’ve drowned out
Keeps on speaking so loud
With the same perversions
I’m a different person now

Don’t remember who I was before
It's something that I'm supposed to feel good for
Waiting for the day when I’ll explore it
If that day ever comes

Despite all my cliches
I’m empty as always
Everyone I’ve drowned out
Keeps on speaking so loud
With the same perversions
I’m a different person now

Empty as Always
