Story Behind The Song

(This refers to the lyrical version of the song) This song is a post-break song. The protagonist is the one who ended the relationship. Although he knows it was the right thing to do, he cared deeply for the other person, and is now completely tortured by having to break their heart. He feels so down and hopeless, he is questioning everything he ever knew and wondering if it's worth trying at all, if this is all he is left with after trying to hard. The lyrics "No Sir No Surrender" indicate his resolution to himself, to keep going, despite how hopeless he feels. The song is very dark but in this way, it ends on a positive note.

Song Description

A post-breakup, reverb-drenched plea to the heavens, posing the question of how things can go so wrong despite great effort. The song is essentially folk-orientated but with intersparsed electronic elements ensuring a more modern/contemporary sound. Huge, heart-breaking harmonies in the middle 8 and a positive message in the outro lyrics ("No Sir No Surrender").
