Body And Mind Lyrics
I've been in the deep end since I realized
There is a difference between body and mind
I've been at my lowest for the longest time
Knowing my existence is not one of a kind
[Chorus]
But I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down
Yeah, I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down
[Verse 2]
I've been seeking solace in the strangest of things
Gettin' my hands dirty while I beat out the kinks
I've been chasing everything that makes mе feel cold
Practicing self-love is something I don't rеally know
So I suppose
I cannot live like this no more
Filling a lifetime with remorse
I'm closing up the void
But I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down
Yeah, I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down
[Bridge]
Been in the deep end since I realized
There is a difference between body and mind
If I could make it go quiet inside
Get some rest for my weary eyes
Tonight, I'm giving my all for a remedy
Grant myself serenity
But if I don't leave it all behind
[Chorus]
But I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down
Yeah, I've had
My deepest cries for now
My heart's out
My guard's down

I’ve experienced a lot of self-hatred this past year, which I’ve never really understood. Realising that you are a person is really fucking weird. I think a lot of people struggle with accepting mortality. People fixing up their bodies, changing themselves because they just want to avoid the inevitable, which is dying and ageing. This is me trying to comfort myself: ‘I’ve had my deepest cries for now/My heart’s out, my guard’s down.’ I’m accepting this shit, and I don’t want to beat myself up for being a person. I think ageing as a concept is really beautiful because it just means that you’re alive still.

«Body and Mind» var fokuslåten til albumet, derfor var det egentlig bare naturlig at det ble sånn.
Jeg ville ikke lage en video som gjenspeilet teksten. Jeg føler videoen skaper et nytt univers jeg ellers ikke hadde tenkt på i låtskrivingsprosessen.
