If your inner demons have ever dragged you away at 2am, this song is for you. Addressing body autonomy, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and controlling relationships, this song explores the push and pull between two people who are absolutely wrong for each-other, and how that infects them as they grapple with their inner demons.

Starlight - Single

Starlight

“Lethal Dose” is about the aftermath of a volatile codependent relationship. When a relationship like this ends, it can feel like you’re grieving the death of a loved one. Sometimes we don’t handle this break up with grace, but rather with self destructive behavior and unhealthy coping mechanisms. The main character is in a constant battle with a “demon” throughout the duration of the song. The “demon” is symbolic and represents her past struggles with alcohol, self hatred, anger issues, and pretty much all of the worst parts of her. As she’s navigating this break up, these past issues start to present themselves again in her life. She goes through a whirlwind of emotions trying to get a handle on her grief and the current situation she’s in. Each color of lighting represents a different stage of grief. Green = denial, blue = depression, and red = anger. While the 7 stages of grief can be helpful in identifying what you’re feeling, it’s important to remember, there is no “wrong” way to grieve. While greif is universal, the way we grieve is not. What may work for others, may not work for you. Be kind to yourself, nurture yourself, and ask for help. You are loved, you are important, and this world wouldn’t have the same twinkle without you.

Lethal Dose - Single 

Lethal Dose

It starts with velvety low-pitched vocals, wrapped in layers of harmonies. Next, a retro-rave synth enters, and before you know it you’re in a swirl of 2000’s dance-pop nostalgia, and powerful vocals with the drums jumping out of the speakers. The verse lyrics address the cyclical trauma that turns the abused into abusers, and the chorus points a way forward as it explores how personal responsibility might break the cycle

This is what I Don't Mind used to sound like when I was in a band called Bodhi

I Don't Mind is about falling in love with someone that you know will leave muddy bootprints all over your heart and not think twice about it

I Don't Mind (Demo)

This song is about having someone in your life thats like a substance for you. you know they aren't good for you, and for some reason they don't want you anymore, you'll forget about all other pain you've been through once the pain of this actually sets in.
