lyrics
am i annihilating?
i grow my power and strength
i wont show myself
and i know
feelings builds up
i hide a lot
but you don’t care
want me to cave in
want me to cave in

meaning
under pressure, to say the least
this song was made a year ago; i was just playing around with some samples i'd made and found in an old usb drive. i remember, i knew i wanted the song to be called Caldera from the get go, yet i had no clue as to what sound i wanted; i simply played around with a bunch of synths, and everything truly just started to flow together so fast and easily.
the song is in depth about hiding and the pressure of it. do i open up about something that i want to keep to myself? do i say it, and change? that was something i struggled with a lot as a kid, it felt like the moment parts of me were perceived by others, it no longer felt like it was mine anymore. it felt like opening up was letting go.
production wise i wanted the song to sound very dreamy and crushing at once; i added lots and lots of layers and a bunch of different little sounds, perhaps not even audible lol - but it does do a difference (to me). the lyrics implicates hiding and pressure building up, feelings becoming too much, therefore a bunch of layers in the production was what i wanted to do.
side note: i really love volcanoes, and i always have since i learnt of them as a kid, and that is also the reason why i really wanted a song named Caldera (i'm not super smart on geology, this is me explaining it in the plainest way).
i hope u enjoy the song for what it is, despite it being experimental and not rly typical :*
thank u! thank u for caring enough to read till this point, and for having listened!
