Duration: 3 min 24 s
Description: “Tired of Turtling” is a quiet anthem for anyone learning to move forward—at their own pace. This indie pop version blends soft acoustic textures with a warm synth build, culminating in a chorus that finally exhales. It’s a song about slow courage, internal resistance, and finding motion after stillness. Vulnerable verses, lifted chorus, and a rhythm that catches just when it needs to.
