Sum of All Parts

“A concept in holism. Related to the idea that the total effectiveness of a group of things each interacting with one another is different or greater than their effectiveness when acting in isolation from one another”. 

There is a version of me that is obsessive

There is a version of me that is relaxed

There is a version of me that is destructive

There is a version of me that is constructive

There is a version of me that is fiery

There is a version of me that is calm

There is a version of me that is inconsiderate

There is a version of me that is thoughtful

There is a version of me that is selfish

There is a version of me that is giving

There is a version of me that is rude

There is a version of me that is kind

There is a version of me that is direct

There is a version of me that is ambiguous

There is a version of me that is confident

There is a version of me that is passive

There is a version of me that is passionate

There is a version of me that is lazy

There is a version of me that is controlling

There is a version of me that is carefree

There is a version of me that is depressed

There is a version of me that is blissfully happy

I am complex, just like everyone else.

None of these versions of me, on their own define me.

I am the sum of all parts.

-->

Change.

I'm afraid of change 

But I'm growing just the same

Trying to hold tightly

To the things that once defined me

But I'm panicking because it slips away

Each day

I'm somewhat different to the last

More parts are woken

More things are spoken 

I'm afraid I won't be able to relate 

To the girl I once was

And the loves in my life

I'm different from these people, always have been, but seeing it more now

Can feel it getting stronger

Wanting to explode away

From the monotony they

Accept.

The routine.

The expect.

Same the same and the same again

Yes they'll always be home

But does home live in the past

Where is home for me now

On the road

In the unexpected

I miss them

For the friendship we used to have

For the times we were the same people

Just because we want different things out of life

Does that mean we're doomed for separation 

These people

Who once defined me

Helped me to write me

I'm not ready to let them go

But this passion and this drive

The thing that keeps me alive

The closer I move toward it

The further I am from them

The more I reject the norm

The more removed I become 

Would you rather be blind and lonely, lonely in your ideas, the things you think about, the conversations you know you need and have

Or awake and lonely.

Is it one or the other though?

I fucking hope not.

I wanna be downtown too.

Hollow Drum - out now.

You're gonna have to burn with me.

Q: When was the last time you saw a gig inside a Motel Room?

A: Never. 

DANCER // OFFICIAL FILM CLIP

The Dancer is the party. He is your lust, your desires, your indulgence.

He is the solitude; the balance between the goodness in your heart and the devil in your dreams.

He can’t be silenced with attention, he can’t be silenced with rejection; these things to him are temporary.

He pushes and pulls you however he feels, stretching around you, shadowing you. He is your self doubt and your comfort and the facade of your confidence.

While you reflect a version of yourself that is seemingly available to all, he is your undealt card, your deepest secrets, your vulnerable self that is only truly understood, honoured, worshiped by those you choose to let hurt you.

I wrote this track in retrospect, produced in collaboration with the audacious Vinnie LaDuce, reflecting on the exhaustion of an imbalanced relationship. But every scenario is multifaceted and there is always a story untold. This song is about wanting something you shouldn’t, and the circus of thoughts that accompany every big decision. 

“Dancer, dancer, dance with me”
