Lonely
✨ How I made this track weird af song I was rapping and recording with my headphones on, and accidentally picked up a monologue playing from the TV in the background. I kept bits of what was captured, then wrote and built the rest myself to turn it into a full song — some lines are sampled from the show, the rest is my own. Added a chorus to tie it all together, turning that happy accident into a complete track. 🎤 What it's about: It tells the story of a woman dealing with mental illness — drowning in loneliness even though she has loved ones around her. She feels like she's caught up in a spiritual war within herself, like something bigger than her is pulling her apart. It's about feeling like you don't belong or that you're a burden, even when people are trying their best for you. That quiet heaviness no one always sees.   more
