I really didn’t know how bad my anxiety was until I found myself driving and looking at trees thinking “just a little turn of the wheel and it could all be over”. I had been running on fumes. Pushing to hard, my senses and my thoughts racing almost all the time. My heart rate was almost always pounding and towards the end, I was just completely burnt out and I had nothing left… my story with anxiety kind of sucks… but this song is a lot less sucks and I’m glad it exists.

I wrote this song around eight years ago after I had found out a friend was experiencing domestic violence.

I wrote the song based around an amalgamation of some of my own stories. I have a colourful past and some god-awful stories I still don’t know if I am ready to tell. One day I might but writing this song was enough for now. The song is about finding your strength. It’s about moving on from circumstances that aren’t healthy. It doesn’t necessarily mean just violence either… lying, cheating, stealing and abuse itself is all unhealthy, toxic behaviour that does not constitute a healthy relationship. Sometimes the only absolute way to ensure you don’t have a toxic relationship is to not have a toxic relationship.
