Some feelings seem easier to sink than to face. The Other enters the inner landscape where emotions are pushed beneath the surface, held somewhere that feels safely out of reach.
The song asks what happens when that refuge becomes a place to hide from yourself. What is buried is still part of you. Eventually it rises, asking to be felt.
The stories behind the sound.
When the Moon Hatched and The Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A. Parker.
THE55I draws on the image of Raeve pushing emotions into her mental lake, where her protected dragon soul resides. The song turns that image into a question about emotional avoidance: what happens when the feelings we submerge come back to haunt us?
