““I wanted the experience of listening to color theory to feel like finding a dusty old cassette tape that has become messed up over time, because that’s what this album is: an expression of all the things that have slowly degraded me personally,” Sophie Allison said in a press release. “The production warps, the guitar solos occasionally glitch, the melodies can be poppy and deceptively cheerful. To me, it sounds like the music of my childhood distressed and, in some instances, decaying.”
Keeping with the color theory, “circle the drain” is all about the blues. It’s a song that captures the inescapable pull that depression has on your mental health. “Things feel that low sometimes/ Even when everything is fine,” Allison sings in the chorus, admitting that even the smallest things can send someone spiraling.
It’s filled with scratchy acoustic guitars and burbles of water (very Avril) and has some real sharp gems of insight about getting trapped in a mood you can’t get out of: “Trying to seem strong for my love, for my family and friends but I’m so tired of faking/ ‘Cus I’m chained to my bed when they’re gone, watching TV alone ’til my body starts aching,” goes one of them.
The song comes with a video, directed by Atiba Jefferson, that finds Allison meeting up with some skateboarders in Palm Springs.” — stereogum, James Rettig, January 14, 2020

♪ lyrics ♪
I wanna be calm like the soft
Summer rain on your back
Like the fall of your shoulders
But everything just brings me back down
To the cold hard ground
And it keeps getting colder
It’s a feeling that boils in my brain
I would dial back the flame
But I’m not sure I’m able
I’m wobbling out on the wire
And the lights could go out
With the break of a cable
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine
Hey I’ve been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I’m going down
I’m trying to seem strong for my love
For my family and friends
But I’m so tired of faking
‘Cause I’m chained to my bed when they’re gone
Watching tv alone
Until my body starts aching
And I think there’s a mold in my brain
Spreading down all the way
Through my heart and my body
‘Cause I cling to the dark of my room
And the days thin me out
Or just burn me straight through
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine
Hey I’ve been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I’m going down
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine
Hey I’ve been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I’m going down
Round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I’m going down______________________________________
