This track is a result of my highly valued and close collaboration with Wojciech Makowski, who is still my dearest friend since elementary school. It started with a few lines of text in which Wojciech described his loneliness, sitting for hours in an empty room. This feeling reminded me of my childhood trauma and several drastic scenes that I experienced as a victim of domestic violence from my father, all of which happened behind the closed door of an empty room (although there were unwritten neighborhood agreements and social consent for this type of practices). We somehow put these things together and this sad song came out smoothly as some sort of mash-up. Enjoy!
