about

Riddle is a track I wrote about depression. More specifically, I was reflecting on the darkest moments I'd experienced and the overall feeling of being depressed - like looking at myself from the outside. The dark topic doesn't mean it is a sad song however, it is about finding strength to move through the dark and realising you're not the same as you once were. Realising you have changed and grown. So really it is about untangling your past self from your present self, and letting it fall away.

lyrics

There’s nothing else to rely on except the part of you that’s strong,
I tried to recreate the image but it always feels wrong.
In my darkest hour I tried to weave myself a net,
So I could tangle myself up again.

I left the pieces of my heart in the middle,
I’ve been here before.
When I was broken my heart was a riddle,
Now I know where to start.

I'm not ashamed to admit,
That I get tired of all of this,
Trying to look like I give a...
No I don't try too hard,
But when I do I feel myself breaking up,
Like I'm losing all of the reception I have on my roof,
Like when the storm blew the antenna into the garden,
I know...

I left the pieces of my heart in the middle,
Yeh I’ve been here before.
When I was broken my heart was a riddle,
Now I know where to start.
Oh...
I left the pieces of my heart in the middle,
I’ve been here before.
When I was broken my heart was a riddle,
Now I know where to start.
