daddi ru – “disassociating”
Sep
Pulling inspiration from their deep thoughts, daddi ru illustrates what it’s like to be always chased by darkness in “dissociating.” The lush pop-trap beat pairs perfectly with the singer’s mezzo-soprano range. Similarly, these two components catch a likeness of this infuriating emotion.
In the singer’s words, “‘dissociating’ is raw, honest, and bold, working to shine a light on those who go through their battles with mental health.” We’re often pushed to take the good with the bad. But what happens when that feels merely impossible?
Describing what it’s like to be in low spirits, daddi ru sings
“These days/I’m feeling like I’m on a different plane/I don’t even know if I’m going insane.”
“This haze/Has me stuck in misery for all of my days,” they also sing. “Catch me never present for my unbound gaze/There’s a hole in my soul I need to fill.“‘
Instead of wallowing in despair, the singer strives to leave the cage that keeps them trapped in their head. But, as the title says, it almost feels like you’re passing by.
“I don’t think this earth was ever for me/Isn’t that plain and simple to see?” daddi ru delivers.
Warning potential suitors about the toll sadness take on a person, the songwriter croons,
“I swear I told you not to go and get attached/You did that awfully fast/This love thing it won’t last/You are living in my past.”
“I’m not your and you’re not mine/We likely won’t meet again/So darlin say goodbye,” they sing as well.
Ultimately “disassociating” draws from the process of feeling whole again.
