Story Behind The Song

I started with the idea of counting stars like mistakes--something seemingly infinite that you could never actually finish counting. The celestial imagery makes everything feel enormous, while the countdown keeps reducing it to something simple and inevitable: eventually, everything burns out.

Song Description

"Eventually" is a restless alternative punk rock track built around the inevitability of burnout--stars, promises, relationships, and people all eventually reaching their breaking point. Cosmic imagery collides with deeply human exhaustion as the narrator counts failures like stars in the sky, building toward the explosive refrain, "Because they all burn out eventually." Fast, bratty verses contrast with a more melodic chorus before the song fractures into the aggressive countdown: "1, 2, 3, burn."

Lyrics

It feels like every constellation
Is resigning all at once.
I'm stitched together with emergency exits
and a lack of empathy
I'm screaming into the cathedral
hoping to find some semblance of humanity

I am counting stars like they're my mistakes(1,2,3,4)
Everyone a promise I couldn't keep
Because they all burn out eventually
Like 1,2,3...

It feels like every comet is falling all at once
I'm Stitched together with caution tape and inherited apathy
I'm screaming into the heavens hoping to find what is left of me.

I am counting stars like they're my mistakes(1,2,3,4)
Everyone a promise I couldn't keep
Because they all burn out eventually

Like 1,2,3, burn

Burn

Because they all burn out eventually
Every promise I couldn't keep.
I am counting stars like 1,2,3...
