about

This track is about admitting failures in a relationship and coming to terms with the consequences. The end of the track also shows a progression from this dark place of brooding about the bad things that have happened to new, happier place where issues have been resolved and the relationship feels good and fresh again.

The last chorus is heavily disco-inspired and is one of my favourite parts of the song!

lyrics

Shutter issue
Shutter issue

Something got hold of me
And I held it in
Til I had the motive
To see it develop

Why are you still listening?
I don’t want you to hear
I know it will hurt you
I don’t want that, my dear

How do you see me now?
Now that you know the facts
Do you still care about me?
Can I still hold to you?

Maybe you’re just being nice
Maybe you have a mask
What if you hate me
But you’re too scared to show?

Can I do something right?
To make it up to you?
Can I buy you dinner?
Or maybe some chocolate?

I want to earn your love now
I know how much I need it
Can you come to me now?
Like you always would?

You say you won’t leave me
I want to be happy
But I still feel a fraud
That I’m not good enough

Maybe it’s not about me
Nor how much I can give
I can give you my best
And love you for good

I won’t stumble again
I won’t falter either
I’ll have strength this time
But not from myself

I have you to lean on
To hold me steady
Through the dark and the mad
To the light and the grand

You’re the one who loves me
You’re the one who trusts me
I won’t self-deprecate
For a fake sense of worth

To the future, we look
To new horizons
Our future together
In our paradise here

We can love each other
Be ourselves together
Live our lives together
Trusting each other

What's my image?
Shutter
Can I reflect?

It's all out there

What's my image?

Can I reflect?

It's all out there
