about

"As someone who struggles with their anxiety daily, I think that people can be quick to judge rather than showing empathy. I’m not perfect, but it’s especially hard to improve when you’re being put down constantly.

This song is meant to remind those struggling with the same things I am that it's okay to create space for yourself in your own life. Whatever that space looks like for you, I hope this record brings you peace and comfort whilst you're in it." - Monelle

lyrics

Is it obvious
Lately I’m preoccupied with opinions
Conversations with myself

Is it obvious
That I’m afraid we could go the distance
But I know to hide it well

Is it obvious
That everywhere I go, something’s missing
Like a secret I can’t tell

Smoke screens in mirror
Like staring at strangers
Every time that I get lost
Inside my shell

All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
To put me at ease
All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
Before I go to sleep

Gorilla glued to you
Huffing and puffing like it’s new to you
Fussing in discussion like we ain’t got something to lose
Something to stay for
I know you’re grateful for every moment in the end

Smoke screens in mirrors
Like staring at strangers
Every time that I am lost
Inside my shell

Smoke screens in mirrors
Like staring at strangers
Every time that I am lost
Inside my shell

All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
To put me at ease
All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
Before I go to sleep

All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
To put me at ease
All I need, All I need’s
My purple diesel daydream
Before I go to sleep

Light one, Save some
Keep on road til the day done
Spark one with the lights out
Feel that til there ain’t none

Light one (light one), Save some (save some)
Keep on road til the day done (done)
Spark one with the lights out
Feel that 'til there ain’t none
All I need
