Part of Me

This song has that rare mix of anger and tenderness that comes when a person seems to have understood everything - but still feels lonely. The bass booms like a heartbeat after an argument, the words fly hoarsely like cigarette smoke out the window after the last “goodbye.” He tries to be cool, swears that everything is under control, that new faces are already nearby - but between the lines you can hear a tired “who am I kidding.”

A desperate attempt to hide vulnerability behind bravado, gold chains, burgers, and Glocks, but underneath it all is the simple human “you were my beloved.” The sound rocks like the city at night, where the headlights reflect off the wet asphalt and it still seems that if you turn the wrong way, you might accidentally run into the one.
