about

A loud, punchy synthy Indie Pop track with an 80’s feel. Big soaring choruses, intricate synth bass are met with soft, pretty double-time verses. It’s about losing yourself and wanting to be someone you're not to please someone, referencing social pressures where you are expected to look and act a certain way and not realising that who you are is above who you’re pressured to be. Soon your reflection won’t be a stranger, it will be you.

lyrics

Do you feel the pressure?
My hand against the mirror
We can fake it if we try
I can be somebody else
I’ve got bad direction, with you

Loving you is my addiction
Taking over, every corner of
Desire for you
Growing like a fever
Spilling our confessions
I’m getting the impression

Breathe me in
Dive through affection
I’ll take you there
Forget our reflection

Do you feel the pressure?
My hand against the mirror
We can fake it if we try
I can be somebody else
I’ve got bad direction, with you

Loving you is my addiction
Taking over, every corner

Breathe me in,
Dive through affection
I’ll take you there
Forget our reflection

Do you feel the pressure?
My hand against the mirror
We can fake it if we try
I can be somebody else
I’ve got bad direction, with you

Kiss me slowly
In this light
I’m still breathing
In the tides
Careful creature in the night
I’ll be by your side

Do you feel the pressure?
My hand against the mirror
We can fake it if we try
I can be somebody else
I’ve got bad direction, with you

Dive through affection
I wanna dive through affection with you (with you)

I wanna dive through affection
I wanna dive through affection with you (with you)
