Hey all,
Spiral was just released a couple weeks ago and I'm blown away by the reception. Across the board listener new and old have told me consistently that this song is an essential step forward in my career. I hope the message of the song rings true, though. It may be misconstrued as a doom and gloom sad boy anthem about hating yourself and giving in to your doubts and fears. Allowing them to rule you and keep you stuck where you are. While it kind of is about that, it's moreso the theme song of The Mask. The song should serve as a reminder that if you allow The Mask to be more in control than the good part of yourself, which as of now I believe I'll call “The Healer”, then you will be stuck in a cycle or plateau. It's completely up to you, and having the resolve to win that war going on in your subconscious. Once you open The Door, and realize The Mask exists, you will fight him until you die. You will spend your life silencing him, running from him, trying to kill him, but he never goes away. He is your doubt, your fear, your guilt, your insecurity, your shame, and he will always live inside of you. But so will The Healer. So will the hope, so will the love, so will the confidence you make for yourself. Your life will become doom and gloom, and you will become “empty”, the second you let love die. If you don't quit, you'll never be denied.
