Compilation (01/2025)

Meaning:

Slipper Slope is a song about the experience of doing something that we later learn did not serve us very well. It's when we get caught up in the emotions of something and swept away...but we can always come back from it and 'dig out of the hole' while having grace and patience for ourselves.

Lyrics:

I should've known this slope was slippery

When I was romanticizing

Emotions were rising

Got the best of me got the best of me, woah

My feet oh my feet were sliding

Couldn't even look behind me

Sliding down

Sliding down this slope

Happened faster than I had hoped

Now I'm digging

Digging myself out of this hole

There's always tomorrow

Yeah so and so

They could say they told me so

We'll figure it out as we grow old

Be gentle 'cause it takes a toll, woah

Sliding down

Sliding down this slope

Happened faster than I had hoped

Now I'm digging

Digging myself out of this hole

There's always tomorrow

Possessions

Can't replace real connection

Spread my wings to be

Who I was mean to be

Sliding down

Sliding down this slope

Happened faster than I had hoped

Now I'm digging

Digging myself out of this hole

There's always tomorrow

Meaning:

Nostalgia is a song I wrote during a milestone birthday about the little comforts in life that we strive to hold close to our hearts even as we get older...it's what keeps us grounded as life gets more complicated.

Lyrics:

Sometimes

I need a little nostalgia

Rewind

I need a little reminder

Little comforts in this life

Held near and dear always in sight

I need I need

A little nostaglia

I think it keeps

It keeps me grounded

I couldn't live without it

How it felt and how it sounded

I need a little nostalgia

Journals

And scribbled notes

Hurdles

But we had hope

Little comforts in this life

Held near and dear always in sight

I need I need

A little nostaglia

I think it keeps

It keeps me grounded

I couldn't live without it

How it felt and how it sounded

I need a little nostalgia

And we could talk for hours

The sun clears all the shadows

Memories grow back like flowers

In the springtime

Medicine was just our laughter

I need I need

A little nostaglia

I think it keeps

It keeps me grounded

I couldn't live without it

How it felt and how it sounded

I need a little nostalgia

Meaning:

Sit With It is a song about coping with changes we make in life. At first, it can feel uncomfortable as we adjust. This song reminds us to sit with the emotions and allow things to fall into place over time. It is also a reminder to figure out where we are actually directing ourselves more intentionally.

Lyrics:

When you start to change

A feeling comes your way

Everything you knew

All the things you'd always say

It's not coming out the same

It's not coming out the same

It's not coming out

It's not coming out the same

Maybe I'm afraid

Without knowing why without reason why

It feels so vague

I'm not running away

A whisper in my ear

Tells me it's okay

Just sit with it

Oh for a moment

Hold still the world it will

Keep turning until

You can see another view

We can hear each other, too

Just sit with it

Oh for a moment

Hold still the world it will

Keep turning until

You can see another view and

We can hear each other, too

Now it's time to go

It's time to let it roll

Off my shoulders

Water drops fall

From my head to toe

Cleansing my soul

Just sit with it

Oh for a moment

Hold still the world it will

Keep turning until

You can see another view

We can hear each other, too

Just sit with it

Oh for a moment

Hold still the world it will

Keep turning until

You can see another view and

We can hear each other, too

Meaning:

Overthinking is a song I wrote about, well, overthinking. We all do it to some degree, especially when there is uncertainty. The song reminds us that thinking way too much about something is sometimes a coping mechanism that interferes with just feeling our way through and looking at the bigger picture.

 Lyrics:

Like a wavy reflection

I see it

Then it's gone but my doubt lingers on

Like a question after a question

My mind seeks

Certainty get close but it escapes me

Telling everyone to stop

I'm overthinking

Reaching up up to the top

But I'm just sinking

Overthinking

Tripping over all these lines

Reading too deeply inside

Now it's time just to feel it

I can't beat it

I'm just human

Ain't that one thing we all believe in

Like a wavy reflection

Keep changing

My self-perception

Stuck inside a riddle

Words keep

Changing little by little

Telling everyone to stop

I'm overthinking

Reaching up up to the top

But I'm just sinking

Overthinking

Tripping over all these lines

Reading too deeply inside

Now it's time just to feel it

I can't beat it

I'm just human

Ain't that one thing we all believe in

Overthinking overreaching

Pull me back in

Cause I've been feeling like I'm dreaming
