DROWNING by FEBE
Pain can be transformed into art, and I discovered this while recording and writing the songs for my first EP, which will be called “Drowning.” The record consists of five tracks, all belonging to different genres but connected by a single, important and deeply personal theme: self-awareness and the nuances of one’s emotions.
I delve into my mental health and sing the words I’ve never spoken out loud. “What if” is about depression and intrusive thoughts, “Is This Living Life?” explores my social anxiety and loneliness. At the same time, “Lost Potential” addresses low self-esteem, the feeling of never being enough to be taken seriously, and how constantly trying to prove yourself can eventually lead to burnout.
“Not That Brave” was my first song, I wrote it in 2017. As the lyrics suggest, the song revolves around the fear of not being loved back.
The final track, “Rising From the Depths,” was written during a positive moment. It’s the only song on the album with happier lyrics, and it talks about how, when you hit rock bottom, the only way left is up. The deeper you sink into the abyss, the more the pressure crushes you, but it doesn’t last forever—eventually, you have to come back to the surface to breathe.
The reason I’ve “resurfaced” is music, the only way I can truly communicate my emotions. I can honestly say it has saved me and continues to do so—I hope it never stops.
