Songs that loop around damage, desire, and the stories we tell ourselves to stay attached.
These tracks orbit around emotional entanglement—whether it's convincing yourself things are fine, clinging to toxic attachments, or wrapping intimacy in fantasy. They share a restless quality: stuck between wanting escape and wanting to stay, between self-awareness and willful delusion. Each song circles its own wound, tender and compulsive, never quite letting go.
