Born from exhaustion and desperation, this track emerges as a raw plea for transformation. Both internal and external change resonate throughout its vulnerable production.
The song dives deep into themes of corruption and oppression, all while maintaining those textured instrumental layers that Soft Cuff does so well. It’s a dynamic showcase of their hypnotic, immersive sound—honestly, it’s pretty captivating.
Visually, the piece gets elevated by some striking imagery that captures that tension we all feel. You know, chasing dreams while reality smacks you in the face under late-stage capitalism.
The Lynchian aesthetics pay homage to heavyweights like Michel Gondry, Steven Soderbergh, Spike Jonze, and David Fincher. Pretty impressive influences, if you ask me.
