Walking Into Walls

Our relationships can be as impactful to us as humans as our own inherent personalities. They can shape us if we let them, in good ways or bad. We can learn from them, or outgrow them, and by 'relationships' I mean not only those we have with other humans, but with anything around us - our relationships with our world, our vices, our emotions - we
Our relationships can be as impactful to us as humans as our own inherent personalities. They can shape us if we let them, in good ways or bad. We can learn from them, or outgrow them, and by 'relationships' I mean not only those we have with other humans, but with anything around us - our relationships with our world, our vices, our emotions - we each represent a complex web of connective, shifting responses and reactions to every single 'thing' we encounter and especially those that we deliberately hold near to ourselves.
"Walking Into Walls" explores this very abstract idea by simplifying it towards a single, human relationship. You might assume this is a song about heartbreak, but if you dive below the surface you may find a deeper, more open ended meaning that you can interpret for yourself.
Our relationships with humans can be as habit forming as our relationships with mind altering substances, exercise, daily routines, and not always in a positive way. As much as we can grow to love things, rely on them, miss them when they're no longer there, it's equally important to be able to recognize when they aren't serving you anymore and be comfortable letting them go - understanding that, for a time, we will feel lost when we do.
