STILL GET CARRIED AWAY
Still Get Carried Away is an electronic art-pop track blending 80s synthpop, indie funk, and atmospheric textures.
The lyrics navigate states of disconnection and suspended memories, reflecting on how the pressures of modern life can provoke a retreat into a childlike imaginative space. It’s an unrepentant embrace of getting carried away without regret.
Still Get Carried Away marks both the beginning and the end. The single is the first release from the forthcoming 2026 album, but is also the last track on the album. To quote a lyric from my debut album: “I’m moving forwards in reverse.”

Lyrics
VERSE 1
All this time
I tried to reach you
Caught your eye
I still couldn’t get through
All alone
And frozen in the
Dead of night
Motionless and deep blue
In your eyes
I watched your heart sink
Called your phone
Got your voice bank
All alone
And frozen in time
Feeling like
Resin in a fish tank
VERSE 2
How my life
Is written in the tideline
Everyday
I wash away the last time
To begin
And repeat everything I do
Back again
Forward then I rewind
Changed my act
Tried to make a fresh start
But the ache
Travelled to my weak heart
Like a child
Escapes to another world
In their head
I’m dreaming of a new past
CHORUS
All the things you said
Play on my mind
I can’t forget
Even in these times
Of never-ending stress
Still get carried away
Without regret
