“This song is the feeling you get when you realize you’ve been telling the same stories over and over to the point that strangers know the punch lines and you’re too scared to risk anything to make new ones. It’s the frustration you get when you tether between blaming others and blaming yourself to the point that you’re just paralyzed. It’s the phrase “over&over” but as a song. The song has these deep pounding sounds that just drive the point into your head and your gut.”
