This song was originally meant for “Ellipsis”, the mixtape I’m working on that succeeds “Shades of Grey”. So it’s symbolically saying I thought the struggles and nightmares from Shades of Grey would pass as we progressed onto something else, considering she inspired a lot of Shades of Grey but there were a lot of problems we had that we thought we’d get past.

Also, in the literal sense. I literally fell asleep with her one night and had a very gruesome, graphic nightmare and woke up kissing on her stomache trying to calm the fear down, I was literally shaking and in a cold sweat.

While I was always spiritual and studied the Bible, she was the girl who introduced me to organized religion and the church. The last time I spent with her that year was a 7 day road trip and a few days after, upon returning home I was leaning towards full atheism. So in a way it seemed she had given me religion, then taken my soul, in the sense I no longer believed in God at all.

Even when her expression isn’t conveying depression, I know her well enough to see that the pain is always there.
