Moving out of focus Taking all my energy, yeah How could I not notice That you became the enemy Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Supersonic Don't fit in my equation Addicted to a memory, yeah A masterpiece faded Since you became the enemy Stranger that I used to know When did we become this? Run wild like an animal Just trying to make through the day Oh-woah, oh oh oh I don’t wanna say what I feel right now Oh-woah, oh oh oh Yeah, you’re pulling me Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Supersonic Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Up so high coming down with the gravity You're pulling me down down down I just wanna keep up, keep up You're moving so fast without me Supersonic

By My Side 03:45

We can run away from here From everything that we hold dear Will you take my hand now You're the missing piece I found There's no one else I want around A shining beacon leading me to freedom I feel like I'm dreaming, dreaming We can take our time, we've got forever. We were broken by design but it's worth the effort I won't leave you behind Will you stay by my side We can take our time, we've got forever We were broken by design but it's worth the effort I won't leave you behind Will you stay by my side By my side By my side By my side By my side By my side By my side We can run away from here From everything that we hold dear Will you take my hand now You're the missing piece I found There's no one else I want around A shining beacon leading me to freedom I feel like I'm dreaming, dreaming We can take our time, we've got forever. We were broken by design but it's worth the effort I won't leave you behind Will you stay by my side We can take our time, we've got forever We were broken by design but it's worth the effort I won't leave you behind Will you stay by my side By my side By my side By my side By my side By my side By my side

about

Illuminate, the 3rd EXXO album. The gap between this and Beyond was a lot longer than Mementos and Beyond, around 6 months. I wanted Illuminate to be a hard-hitting record, a stark contrast from most of the songs on Beyond. I think I succeeded.

While the gap isn't technically 6 months because between this and Beyond, I released an EP with my friend, but we don't have to talk about that. I still love almost all of the songs on this record, and I think this was the start of me truly finding my way in music.
