About The Wound That Won't Heal

"The Wound That Won't Heal" stands at the heart of the album, confronting the inevitability of mortality and the passage of time. Observing my loved ones growing older—their steps slowing, their voices fading—I became acutely aware of the universal truth that death comes for us all. This realization stirred a mix of fear, contemplation, and acceptance within me. The song delves into the anxiety that grips us when we face the certainty of our own end and serves as a universal acknowledgment of life's impermanence. "The Wound That Won't Heal" can be seen as both metaphorical and literal, though my intention is literal. Some day we will have something go wrong with our body that we will be unable to recover from.
