Unreliable Narrator

Song Meaning

This track immediately establishes a sense of performance and borrowed identity. The narrator describes themselves as an "under, over kinda sharer," suggesting a fluid, perhaps deceptive, way of interacting. This persona feels so ingrained, a "kind of act that's second nature," that it becomes indistinguishable from their true self, a "borrowed voice, practiced smile" that feels genuinely owned. The effort to be "authentic" is present, but the internal struggle is evident, as the voice "fell down a couple of octaves," implying a loss of genuine expression or a descent into a less genuine state.
