I wrote the first half of my song "Since '07(Come With Me) as a reminder to myself to always question my mortality. But, not from a point of view that is against people's spiritual views or religion. The questioning is more of an open mindedness to be at peace with myself about it. Something that I've yet to really settle on(kind of lol). The "Since '07" part is heavily influenced by my past and current confusion with god, a god, and an afterlife. I didn't grow up in a religious family or with any religion being crammed down my throat and for that I am very grateful. In 2007, I started going to a christian church on my own and got "saved." After about two years of going consistently and learning the gospel, I eventually found a spiritual direction through being cognitive to the fact that...We all really just don't 100 percent know what happens after we pass. We just don't. We can speculate and hell, even have full Faith that we know...but deep down, no one does. I've been questioning it ever since. And in a weird way, I like to think that is my true peace.
The second half of the song(Come With Me)is my conversation with someone that, at the time, I just couldn't bare the thought of them burning in the flames that are riddled throughout the bible I studied so dramatically. I was torn between "saving" them and not being an annoyance, as that would just push them away. Eventually, I did realize that I prefer to be within my own head about it and that it's not my place to "sway" anyone. To this day, I still carry that mindset with me. In my eyes, everyone is correct with what they believe and I will never put forth an argument to counter them. I really just don't care enough.
If you haven't heard "Since '07(Come With Me), check it out on Spotify and Apple Music. Or whatever platform you use. Thank you everyone! I'm gonna do more of these "Behind the Lyrics" down the road!!!
