Edge

"Edge" is a song about my anxiety. It has been, at times, crippling, and I found that I couldn't stop writing about it. I ended up personifying my anxiety in this song. I made this song fully on my own, and I'm proud of what I've created. The soundscape transports the listener to the deeper parts of my mind where the lyrics stem from.
Part of the struggle of being an artist is honesty, and enabling yourself not to just write another love song. I felt vulnerable releasing such a personal song, but it was incredibly rewarding. I found that after spitting all of the things I hate about my anxiety into the mic, I became more at peace with it. The idea of personifying my anxiety for the song actually came from a therapy session, so it felt like a full circle in the end.
I'm so glad I get to share this song with the world. The idea of anyone connecting to it, or finding serenity and truth in my song brings me so much joy.

Songwriting is how I process the world. Through all of the internal and external conflicts I've faced throughout my life, music has prevailed as something I can constantly lean on. Creating poetry and building soundscapes has become simultaneously an escape for me and a vital part of my identity.
