lyrics:
it's all my fault
you had your back against the wall
it's in my head
guess i imagined what you did
sinking feelings
so misleading when you're down
here in the deep end
sowing seeds and growing doubts
i don't know what i'm doing
i went too far
i said too much, i pushed too hard
and i feel crazy
believing in what you're saying
it's always changing
i can't see it
(can't see what's in front of you)
see the forest for the trees
i'm so naive that
(pull the strings like you always do)
all these wolves just look like sheep
i don't know what i'm doing
gaslight, turn it off and on
we drive off the road, get lost
all signs lead to what you want
gaslight, turn it off and on
play to my weakness
yeah, it's like you always say
you "didn't mean it"
and i'd be cruel to walk away
somehow i made you do it
i don't know who you're fooling
gaslight, turn it off and on
we drive off the road, get lost
all signs lead to what you want
gaslight, turn it off and on
i don't know what i'm doing

Every new song just speaks to me in a new way. Not only does it sound amazing, but the content is so important and I think it’s beautiful that Softcult sings about such important topics that don’t get a ton of spotlight. As someone who’s been going through it, it means a lot to listen to this music. Hope to see you on tour soon! 🖤🤍

Oh my gosh, this vibe is incredible. You’ve seamlessly transitioned the harmonic vocals that made your punk work so cool into this dreamy sway of a style that complements it as much as the punk contrasted it. Amazing. This is a favorite.
