SORE masterfully captures the film's eerie atmosphere, weaving dark and haunting elements into a soundscape that both captivates and unsettles. The track's driving energy and pulsating 808s provide an infectious groove that will have you hooked from the first listen. But beneath the captivating rhythm lies a profound exploration of inner turmoil. SORE's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mind teetering on the edge, grappling with the horrors of trauma and the suffocating weight of an abusive relationship.
