Bringing back teen angst nostalgia with a more mature take is something that august brodie has perfected lyrically on “killing me.”“I’m at a point in my life where I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, and it’s killing me literally” august shares. “I think so many people act like they have it figured all out, but there’s an uncertainty in there somewhere that maybe this isn’t the right path, whether that is in your love life or life’s path in general. That’s why I wrote ‘killing me.’ So many people are scared to do what they love and I think that’s fucked up. Go do what you love so that when you’re older looking back you can’t regret you didn’t.”
