about

a playfully melancholic ‘goth bop’ with a little sonic nod to the world of SOPHIE in its outro.
This is a song in celebration of all that doesn’t go to plan, for all that isn’t said, for all the moments we are left wanting.
We are, just like film, vulnerable to exposure and experience that can
stain and spoil.

lyrics

We are
Just like a roll of spoiled film
That holds
Memories of happy times we shared

A faded glance at better times
Now passed
I find it hard to believe that we were there once

Don't tell me its my fault
For diving in head first
'Cause I do not regret

Being held
Being seen by you
It made me feel
Suddenly worth it

I think I miss you
But I'm too proud to say it
I can't forgive you
So I'll settle into heartbreak

My voice is hoarse
From all the things
I wish I'd said to you
Now I'm holding them all in

I'll soldier on
Keep swimming in the sea
Smiling through the pain
Now I seek inner peace

Take me back to that morning
Where you squeezed me so tight
Didn't need to say a single word

Now I'm left without explanation
Our story is without conclusion
Don't know what to feel

I think I miss you
But I'm too proud to say it
I can't forgive you
So I'll settle into heartbreak
