Relationships are often complicated and can leave us feeling confused and doubting ourselves, instead of being a light of love and acceptance. We put faith in those we deem worthy of our trust, and if it becomes broken, it's hard to pick up the pieces of the world crumbling around us. Dwellings' new single, "Pick Up Before You Go" tells the story of heartbreak and how one comes to terms with their own self-identity.
Oftentimes, when we are mourning a past love, we wish we didn't have to bear the memories replaying in our head constantly, leaving us to question why things failed in the first place. We can give everything we have to someone and for no rhyme or reason, they are unable to love us in the way we deserve. This can leave us questioning our own self-worth and send us into a downward spiral: forcing us to rebuild our own identity. In the song, vocalist Isaac Wilson discusses his own internal struggle with self-acceptance. The track hits it's climax with Wilson exclaiming "What the f*ck is wrong with me // Do I have some disorder or disease? // And if there's anything to make it worse // I can't get past this f*cking curse."
