I Built the Walls

When you have something you want to do but feel like giving up, and you need a powerful push to move forward.

Reminiscent of the raw, funky dynamism of early Maroon 5 during the Songs About Jane era and the sophisticated alternative pop of The 1975, this is an incredibly uplifting funk rock track. Driven by staccato guitar riffs and a fast-paced drum pattern that echoes the infectious energy of 2000s dance-punk, it delivers an exhilarating sound. While possessing a smooth blue-eyed soul groove, the melodic bassline constantly raises the track's tension, making it absolutely perfect for your driving playlist or workout background music.

The theme is liberation from an invisible cage of your own making. It dramatically portrays breaking away from the self that hid in a safe place out of fear of failure, building up tension before releasing it through a powerful spoken word bridge.

The explosive finale, marked by a triumphant key change from E minor to G major, is truly overwhelming. It is a supremely positive and liberating song that encourages you to embrace the possibility of failure and live fearlessly in the present moment.
