This is a song I wrote about my experience of autistic burnout (although anyone who's been through burnout can probably relate too) – when it gets me I feel a kind of out-of-body experience within my mind, like I'm losing my grip on who I am as a person, all emotions become detached, life seems hopeless. But there is some hope too, because I've learned that the things that seem lost will come back eventually. It might not be straight away, but they're never gone entirely. Sometimes you've just got to remind yourself that to get through the hardest times. (this song is part of a double single with interconnected lyrics, so follow the spotify link if you'd like to hear the full project) more
