about

This song is about anxiety, stress, nervousness, etc.

Lyrically, I tried to recount the experience of calling someone who calms you down on a phone, which I suppose also represents prayer for me.

Sonically, I tried to make this song as creepy and brooding as possible during the verses and choruses. The end is supposed to represent a panic attack and I'm really happy with the way that was executed here.

lyrics

Pick up my phone and search for your name
I pray that you’ll be there
I pray that you ease my pain

You answer my call; I hear your digitized voice
I’m already halfway there
My heart, my soul rejoice

Calm me down
Won’t you just try and remind me
Why everything will work itself out
I’ve never needed to know that promise
Like I need to know it now
Won’t you just please try
And calm me down?

Once again I've fallen subject to my nerves
I'm foolish, I'm human
I'm sorry; I never seem to learn

How many moments have I wasted this way?
I won't worry myself sick anymore
I'm letting go today
