We grow apart, we fall apart, we break apart It’s just the start of us coming apart Why do you when I try to speak yeah why do you talk over me I'm fed up of skirting around the truth when you look right through me Wait a minute just admit it
 take a minute to commit to a decision can we give in and admit this that we’ve grown apart, we’re falling apart, don’t make this hard this is just the start of us coming apart Apart at the seams, pull apart at our dream you were part of me now we break apart I saw nothing in your eyes when you looked at me I’ve known this for a while you and me it aint working So take a minute, admit it, lets commit to it It’s a decision and we can get used to it Cos we grow apart, we fall apart, we break apart I know it’s hard We’re coming apart

Overthink It 02:49
I fell off the ground, didn’t want to make a sound yes I’m all shook out, it took you too long to figure out why do you stoop so low? Do you think I overthink it yeah I guess it shows, yeah just count it out nothing matters but remember every second counts Focus on your breath and just try to clear your head filter out what they said and dispose of all the dregs I’ve got none, nothing left, could you save it for my death bed yeah I’m not that impressed, you’re just trying to get ahead yeah I get emotional, did you think all this wouldn’t have taken its toll yeah dim the lights real low, as I whisper all my secrets through a microphone what do you want to achieve, do you want to leave now you think you’re too good for me watch out it’s a slippery path once you walk it there is never any going back focus on your breath and just try to clear your head filter out all the voices and dispose of all the dregs I’ve got none nothing left, could you save it for my death bed yeah I’m not that impressed, you just try to get ahead It’s over, uh yeah, I know it, uh yeah come over, I think I've been overthinking it It’s over I know it, we’re getting older it’s only just now unfolding come over, here’s hoping I’m overthinking it It’s the type of year where I’m on the brink of tears tryna keep it together but I’m crumbling under pressure what a blur, is this life as we see the levels rise watch the ground disappear and we’re acting out of fear well you focus on your breath and you try to clear your head filter out all the voices and dispose of all the dregs I’ve got none, nothing left ‘cept the beating in my chest Feel it all decompress, feel it, feel it, I feel it

Flood Into 03:01

about

In a society where being strong and resilient is often held up like a badge of honour, it’s much, much harder to acknowledge when enough is enough – to accept when it’s time to let go. It’s a truth that New Zealand singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Amelia Murray, AKA Fazerdaze, has spent years wrangling with, but one whose story thankfully comes with an empowering punchline of personal reclamation.

Finishing up touring for her debut, breakout record Morningside at the end of 2018, Amelia speaks of a deep sense of burn out and, more than that, of feeling the “wheels starting to come off” in her general life. “No longer being stoic and strong was the best thing I ever did for myself. Giving up on the people and things that weren’t working in my life was this big release where I could finally put down this weight that I was carrying, and ever since then everything has been better in my life overall,” she continues, with an audible sense of relief. “I can hear my intuition and write songs and be creative; I signed a record deal, I moved into my own place. It’s like the floodgates opened for good stuff coming into my life.”

And so, whilst ‘Break!’ with its ‘90s-indebted fuzzy guitars and lyrical moments of clarity (“Something’s gotta give/ Something’s gotta change/ You’re just trying to live/ I’m just gonna break” goes the title track) could feel like an EP full of tension, the reality is one of extreme, vital release. Embracing the cathartic power of plugging in her guitar and harking back to her love of bands like Blur and Nirvana, the new Break! EP from Fazerdaze is an air-punch purge in musical form, marking an important reintroduction to an essential artist of our times.
