(Lyrics)
You’re in need of a rescue
Sick of feeling alone
Looking for a new attitude
Even if it's on loan 

There's a place we can go
It's not too far away
Where ladies have an infectious glow
And they always want you to stay

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand

Look for that neon sign
That says you are divine
Where you leave your troubles at the door
Yeah, you don't need them anymore

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand

"Reconcile" fuses introspective lyricism with a mellow, funk-infused groove in the vein of Gorillaz and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song rides a warm, syncopated bassline and laid-back drum pocket, blending subtle electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The production is intentionally raw, giving it an authentic, slightly lo-fi vibe that complements its lyrical depth.

Zak Davis delivers his vocals with a mix of weary reflection and cool defiance. There's an emotional honesty in lines like “I used to think about drinking Friday night / Now it’s just stay alive” that grounds the song in real-life struggle, while the pre-chorus injects a touch of swagger and humor: “Still got low subs pumping in my trunk.”

The chorus opens up into a soulful and emotionally resonant moment, pushing a message of self-love and perseverance: “You got to love yourself before you can reconcile.” Despite its themes of fatigue and existential grind, the track ultimately lands in a place of uplift and human connection.

With smooth transitions and a consistent groove, “Reconcile” is a meditative, funky anthem for anyone navigating the quiet chaos of adulthood — one that urges you to keep climbing even if the mountain laughs back.

Lyrics:
ry to sleep but the pressure’s deep
Wishing you were someone else
Repeat each day into a ten-year leap
Without a good story to tell
Laughing at the mountain I have to climb
Can’t make good use of time
I used to think about drinking Friday night
Now it’s just stay alive

I’m a little older but wiser
Still running on a hamster wheel
Everybody works hard to go nowhere fast
Trying to make it up that hill
There’s an old man in the mirror
But the same young soul is felt
Try to do right and stay in that fight
Playing with the cards your dealt

Pre-Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that survives them all
I got gray hair, I got some chunk
Still got low subs pumping in my trunk


Chorus
You got to find a way to make it all worthwhile
You got to love yourself before you can reconcile

Love the ones who say hello
Never turn down a helping hand
Sometimes company is all you need
No words said but you understand
You got to stay in this fight for life
Trust it’ll be alright
If your life is darkness
Move it into light

Pre-Chorus

Reconcile

Bandcamp

[VERSE 1]
Beware the face too brightly spun,
The smile that steals the waking sun—
For beauty’s blade cuts swift and deep,
Where fools and saints alike will weep.
Oh, cursed gift! Oh, gilded chain!
To love her is to court your pain…

[CHORUS]
So let the roses choke with thorns,
Let every mirror crack with scorn!
Or else be doomed to chase the flame—
Her heart won’t love you
…just the same.

[VERSE 2]
(Enter the Lover, desperate, to the Shadows:)
"Then make her monstrous! Make her plain!
Let rot her cheek’s perfumed stain—
If ugliness could bind her tight,
I’d trade the moon for one foul night!"

[BRIDGE]
(The Shadows laugh, low and cruel:)
"We’ll twist the flesh… but not the rules—
For love that’s real won’t barter light,
Nor fear the dark…
…nor fear the sight."

[FINAL CHORUS]
So pray the stars forget your name,
Or love her true through blight or flame—
For hell or heaven, both agree:
The curse was never
…beauty’s plea.
