As an introvert, you kind of need that time to just go off into your own space and kind of recharge, but it's not a song about like feeling lonely or not liking being around other people.

It's just like, I love being social.

I love my friends and family and going out and meeting people, but I need that time to kind of go and decompress.

There's a line in the song where, "I'm just a mammal in the sea, I need to surface just to breathe."

Like that's kind of how I feel about like my social life or whatever.

So, needing that time to go and be creative and just decompress.

So, that's what the song's about.
