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

Driving to You
I don't want to hide, I don't want to wait Got too much inside, to leave it unsaid I'm driving to you, I got nothing to lose All of this distance, just brings me to you I'm driving to you, tell me what should I do If your heart still feels it, then I'm coming through I can't leave this behind, got you on my mind, yeah, got you on my mind, yeah Rain on the street, bass underneath Hands on the wheel, heart skipping beats I know that feeling, you know the reason One look from you and I lose my defence No need for talking, no need for proving Something this real, don't need a reason I don't want to hide, I don't want to wait Got too much inside, to leave it unsaid I'm driving to you, I got nothing to lose All of this distance, just brings me to you I'm driving to you, tell me what should I do If your heart still feels it, then I'm coming through I can't leave this behind, got you on my mind Maybe I was too late, maybe we lost days Maybe I was too proud to say what I felt Now I'm done with waiting, done with debating And if you're still there, I'm giving you all of me No games, no front, no words, just trust One road, one chance, two hearts, one plan I came this far, can't turn away If you feel what I feel, then say my name I'm driving to you, I got nothing to lose All of this distance, just brings me to you I'm driving to you, now I know what to do If your heart still feels it, then I'm coming through I'm driving to you, I don't care what it takes Every second closer feels like something to waste I'm driving to you, let the old days fade If you open your heart, I'll be there when you say I, I know the way, I know the way Straight to you, straight to you I, I know the way, I know the waymore
