PRETEND by WOlF. published on 2022-07-26T02:16:27Z I was in a transitional place in my life where i didn't know what i wanted or who i was; it wasn't until i sat down and really unpack these walking thoughts that surrounded my life, i came to the conclusion that i had to unlearn the things that made me who i was, unlearn all the things i thought i wanted and needed in my life. LIGHTS is me talking to myself in a sense taking my own hand and guiding me to the light of realizing who i wanted to be in the world finding a peace that i never known before UNLEARNING i was having a conversation about making this project it was still in it's conceptional with a goodn friend of mine and in the midist of us talking he pulls out his guitar and starts playing this beautiful melody and i loved it so i started singing which lead us to recording it live TRAIN WRECK Is about me falling in love with a friend of mine it was the most unexpected, beautifu,l poetic thing realizing that our crazy fit so well together but also coming to the point that we are better off us just that friends STAY DON'T LEAVE I just had ended a 1 year engagement to the man i thought i would spend the rest of my life with after ended things and sitting with my feelings for a while it dawned on me that love isn't enough for me, for us in the end it didn't save us PRETEND I was very honest with myself writing this song. it's that space where you want love so bad that you're willing to take it in any form that comes in no matter who it's from, it's toxic i know but it's real, yarning from something so much that you're willing to lose a piece of yourself to get it BULLETPROOF this was a weird time in my relationship we were fighting for control a pointless war that neither one of us was going to one, neither one of us willing to wave the white flag Genre Ambient
