Slifer the Executive Producer
"An instrumental track which shows the beautiful components that can then turn ugly.""This is a song at its core that’s about people that pick and choose. Whether that’s a narcissistic person who can’t admit they’re wrong, or a religious person who likes to pick and choose their morals when they see fit. Lots of energy in this one."
"This one is about good old karma. I worked in an industry that was full of cliques, and this is what it’s written about. People throw stones in glass houses, talking from a throne when they have no idea others are doing the same. The fitness industry is a callous and cold place."
"Written quite clearly about the disparity of wealth, and how condescending the ultra-wealthy can be. Asserting that there is pride to being poor can be demeaning and destructive, and this song revels in the downfall of the elite."
Stardust Cycle
"This track is written from the perspective of a doomed relationship that hasn’t ended yet but should. Based off the two headed calf poem, it’s set within the battle of an intense argument, but then the serene grace of the make-up, and how everything is perfect and their best self for one night. Before the creeping end."
"A song about people pleasers. From the outside looking into how ‘people pleasers’ work. This track mentions how trying to please people just for social sake can cause massive damage."
Have you ever seen the sunset, at 3pm?
"Inspired by my ex who wouldn’t leave me alone for a stretch of time. Someone that would follow you to the end of the earth to block out the sun. Just about someone who can’t imagine your life would be better without them."
"This is written about the end of a relationship, when a person puts in solid boundaries. Only you can enforce boundaries, and if someone doesn’t acknowledge them, you have to cut them off. This was written about me not wanting my girlfriend to have an affair… apparently that wasn’t okay."
"Plaything is written from my perspective of being the bad guy and using someone. I had a relationship with a girl that was obvious attraction, but I didn’t want anything further whilst she did. I knew if we did a certain act that there would be no going back, and I did it. The lyrical content can always be used in terms of substance/alcohol abuse as well."
"This is written about discovering I had autism at an adult age and looking back at my entire life. Figuring out why I didn’t fit in, and all the times I tried to change myself that now brings me incredible shame. Also, a place for my inner child to scream “No one told me what to do”.”
'Brushed By Darkness' is released 12th December 2025.
