"'show me'
(WIP)
For a very long time in my life, I wanted to be in control of everything. I also wanted to understand everyone and all the things around me but that's impossible and later in life I realised that there's so many things you can't really control at all and so many things you probably can't even probably describe in words and there's so many things in life you can't make sense of at all. And the song: 'show me' is about being okay with all of that and that there's this interesting beauty in not knowing exactly what somеthing means. It's okay to not be 100% sure whеre life is gonna take you. You never really know anyway and I guess you have to be at peace, knowing that life is so unpredictable.
During the 'album1' writing process, I really started to accept and embrace this mindset and the first couple lines of 'show me' really capture that feeling:
"I am floating out to sea
Time will take it all from me
Don't know where the wind will take me now
But we'll see"
Yeah, like I said, 'show me' is about being okay with not being too sure where life's gonna take you.
Speaking about the music side of things. I'm really happy with how the drop turned out. All these sparkly guitars with this heavy 808 bass. I think the contrast between those things is very pretty.

Sorry guys, I got really thirsty, haha"
