Description

The title track suggests that the reason why we dislike certain people is because we recognize a negative quality in them that we have found to be true in ourselves. Dealing with a difficult person is often like looking in the mirror and being unhappy with what you see in the reflection. Musically, this represents the way sound reflects off of surfaces, causing it to change over time.

Description

This song explores the fear of dreams coming true. We all have goals and strive for various things--what if those things actually come true? Will we lose motivation and purpose? The song starts with a simple 4 chord progression which bursts forth into a driving, dreamlike palate--complete with booming drum fills and galactic melodies. The abrupt ending suggests that the real adventure is in the journey, not the destination.

Description

The smooth and playful structure of this song works in juxtaposition to the anxious message in our heads: that we must not only strive endlessly to feel worthy, but we must also hold on tight to what we have or it will slip away. A euphoric 2nd chorus followed by a psych-tinged breakdown implies that relinquishing control is the only path to setting yourself free and finding true peace. BPM 130

Description

The final song of the EP is the "jammy-est" Rock Eupora song to date, and addresses the cyclical nature of bad habits. Rather than wallowing in the rut of pity and defeat, the song accepts that mistakes are a part of life that we cannot escape. By leaning into repetition and blurring the lines of melodic structure, the song fights against the notion that true change is impossible. We are part of an exciting story full of highs and lows where mistakes lead to growth and messiness brings joy. Full steam ahead!
