Singer/songwriter Naaz has released her new single “damage :(“. It’s her most personal single to date, and explores the darkness and the light that lives within, simultaneously.
She explains, “My new song ‘damage :(‘ started as a page in my diary. Writing helps me make my thinking more compact, instead of having thoughts scattered like rain, they’re just nicely collected in a hurricane. Once it passes by, it’s damaging, but done with. It’s like I’m delaying my pain, in return for a small rush. It helps though, this was the page I wrote that inspired the song.”
”Sometimes you reach an all time low, where even your easiest habits become hard to carry out. Everyday life becomes a new adventure as everything in your life becomes unknown. You lose perspective and your grip on reality follows. Nothing is what it used to be anymore so all you can take are baby steps. You are now a child and a mother of yourself at the same time. As you lie in your bed, incapable of getting out, you worry about how the world will perceive you. Disassociated from yourself, you look in the mirror thinking you just discovered an alien on earth. Your interpretation of what people think of you is based only on what your demons say. You can not rely on your mind anymore, everything it says is inadmissible. Your credibility is gone, start over. Insecurities lead the way but they don’t know which way to go. You broke a new record, finally wrecked it, there’s nothing left to do, but find peace and love in the damage.”
