Came for

The spark
I don’t remember the exact time or day I wrote this song, all I know is I must have been dealing with the reality of having to decide whether to fall back into the flame of familiar love that I knew had the power to burn me, because I’d experienced it before.. In that moment, despite what I would eventually decide to do, I knew I had to express what I felt. And that was the fact that I had already learned how to breathe without the expectation of being loved. In fact, somewhere along the way, I learned to give that love to myself. So why would I want to give up that power again?

Lyrics that matter most to me
“You’re looking for love in the bodies of angels but demons is all you find. Now looks like you’re back with your tail standing still in between your thighs”

What changed after writing it
I felt release. And that’s why songwriting is such a superpower. Even before resolve or resolution, it has the power to remind you that your feelings matter. Your words have power. And you are fully loved and fully seen. What started as being vulnerable while writing the song, turned into me gathering the courage to sing it out loud with the intention of a melody that could carry the heaviness of it. Eventually, even years later.. Every time I sing it, it feels like a mantra. A moment to pause and reflect, and repeat to myself and to others, what I felt was true.

If You’re Listening From This Place Too..
Choosing yourself is not a betrayal. It is a form of love. True love will create space for that. True love will accommodate the space for both people to thrive. Symbiotic - As in, the quiet architecture of two lives leaning into each other, a living exchange where passion turns into flames that can keep each other warm, without ever consuming each other.
