You’re Not Broken, You’re Just in Decompression Mode

(A song about dancing through the spiral.)

Let’s be honest: most of us aren’t thriving, we’re just functioning at varying speeds of meltdown. “decompression” was born right in the middle of that space: the space between burnout and breakthrough, panic and peace, screaming into the void and singing into a ceiling.

We didn’t set out to write some life-changing anthem. We were just trying to process… everything. And somewhere between the synths, the bassline, and the 37th existential crisis, this track happened.

So what is “decompression”?

It’s 128 BPM of contradiction.
A track that dances but aches.
A song for when you’re standing in the summer rain and suddenly remembering every version of yourself you thought you’d outgrown.

The lyrics ask all the big questions:

“What’s the point of all the fucking pain?”
“Am I learning anything, or just looping again?”
“Is it the journey, or the destination?”
Spoiler: the answer keeps changing. That’s kind of the point.

Why we made this

Sometimes you need a song that feels like a late-night phone call with someone who gets it.
Sometimes you need to dance even though you’re still hurting.
Sometimes you need to be reminded that it’s okay to feel it all—deeply, stupidly, beautifully.

“decompression” is us taking a breath, choosing to stay in the moment, and making peace with the fact that healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a dancefloor in the dark. And you’re doing your best moves even if no one sees.

For the nerds

The production leans into melodic house and indie disco textures—bright synth layers, a steady four-on-the-floor beat, and some emotionally manipulated delay that probably deserves therapy. We wanted it to feel expansive but intimate. Like shouting into a soundproofed canyon and hearing your own thoughts echo back, but with hopefully better sound.

Final thought

This track is for anyone who feels like they’re figuring it out again.
You’re not alone. You’re just decompressing.
And maybe that’s the first step toward something beautiful.

Lyrics to decompression

decompression

you know the devil’s near
if you feel the fear

standing in the summer rain
& i start to realize —
how many years have passed
& i never understood why

i need to breathe
to dance
to dream
beneath the stars tonight

what’s the point
of all the fucking pain
wait —
i’m asking for it again
maybe it’s not the journey
maybe it’s
the destination

when i feel lost
i look at the sky
actually look

i remember to connect
standing up to the fear
is always easier
with friends

enjoy the moment
or life
will pass you by

what’s the point
of all this mindless pain
holy shit
i’m doing it again

now i know —
it’s the journey
not
the destination

there’s no worry
there’s no rush
slowing down
can speed you up

there’s no worry
no rush
let those worries
turn to dust

i’ve never understood
the point of pain
maybe i’ll learn from it again
or maybe
it’s the thing
that keeps me going

what’s the point
of all the fucking pain
wait —
i’m asking for it again
maybe it’s not the journey
maybe it’s
the destination

isn’t learning from the stupid pain
supposed to keep us
from doing it again?
or maybe
it’s a promise
that keeps us
dancing

what’s the point
of lifelong change
holy shit
i’m doing it again
now i know —
it’s the journey
not
the destination

letting in the summer rain
i finally realize
it’s okay
to be excited

we’re here
to dance
to dream
to be free
under stars
tonight

let’s celebrate
the real friends
