“Gifted” is a slow-building alt-rock track infused with dream pop and dark indie pop elements. It explores the burden of intelligence and the chaos of overthinking, with atmospheric pads, sparse drums, and reverb-heavy guitars building to soaring choruses. The song captures the longing for silence amidst mental violence, wrapped in lush textures and haunting melodies.
Chorus
It’s not escape that I pursue
Just need the world to fade from view
I think that I just crave some silence
My heart’s a mess, my mind is violence
Verse 2
One day I hope I’ll find nirvana
One day I might stop craving drama
One day I hope to be content
But today’s not it, I am afraid
Pre-Chorus
I feel so trapped in my own cage
I dig my heels, I dream of chase
And though my life is filled with bliss
I am not thankful, I’m mostly pissed
Chorus
It’s not escape that I pursue
Just need the world to fade from view
I think that I just crave some silence
My heart’s a mess, my mind is violence
Bridge
And so this tale, with no conclusion
Will keep on going ’til illusion
Will understand I’m not worthwhile
So until then, I’ll whine and cry
Chorus
It’s not escape that I pursue
Just need the world to fade from view
I think that I just crave some silence
My heart’s a mess, my mind is violence
Outro
So until then, I’ll whine and cry
Chasing silence, just to get by
