about

"voicemail" is about over dependence. it's not that being dependent on someone is necessarily a bad thing, but there comes a point where you can over-indulge in it. you can slip into believing a fairytale, this wonderful thing where someone- just being around them makes you feel perfect. you don't have to consider your faults, face your fears, become the person you want to be, if you already feel satisfied. and thus you need to ask yourself- are you really satisfied with who you are, or are you being spoiled by the people you trust most? and if you are, is it because you're letting them, or because they're taking advantage of you? and sometimes, a third party is all it takes to get you out of that cycle.

it's the third single off of "specters"- a concept album about my fears, some big and some small. nostraightanswer.bandcamp.com/album/specters
