This is a hip-hop track that has a fresh sound but addresses the issues that we are faced with today. I believe that the past 2 years has left us with many unanswered questions and this song is a representation of the uncertainty that exists in all if us to some degree.

In our limited human experience, sometimes none of it makes sense so this song is an acknowledgment of that but also an encouragement for people to be vigilant and work through it, better will come, none of this is in vain. This song does not attempt to understand or bring closure to any of the subject matter presented. The only purpose behind the song is to awaken people to what’s happening around us while ensuring that they aren’t blinded from opportunities to grow.

At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
