About ‘Check Mate’:
Check Mate was inspired by my mates checking up on me when I was really burnt out (hence the title 'Check Mate' rather than Checkmate). I think a lot of people can relate to the pressures of always being contactable by phone, little red notifications that used to be a hit of dopamine are now a source of pressure to always be on and available. I have some amazingly supportive friends, and this song is about feeling guilty for not being there for my friends in the same ways that they’re there for me because I was dealing with serious burn out.

I love the idea of ‘home’ being where your friends and family are and not necessarily a place. This song is definitely about yearning to be in the presence of your loved ones in hard times.

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
I know I said I’d just be out for a minute
3 days later and I missed a whole weekend
You know I’m hopeless when my phone keeps ringing
So I put it down, yeh I put it down

Pre-chorus:
You’ve been with me all the way
And I’m sorry by the way
You’ve been saying that I’m distant lately
And you’re hoping that’ll change

Chorus:
Can’t wait
Till I get home to see ya
This drive couldn’t feel any longer
You know
I’m gonna keep my promise
When I’m spinning out, I’ll be stickin’ round

Verse 2:
Time is moving on without my permission
I’m a passenger in all my decisions
Tension piling up like dirty dishes
Try to clean it up, it’s never clean enough

Pre-chorus:
You’ve been with me all the way
And I’m sorry by the way
You’ve been holding me together lately
And I wanna do the same

Bridge:
I know it’s taken me a while
Cause I’ve been living in denial
You’ve been with me all the way
And I’m sorry by the way

Chorus:
Can’t wait
Till I get home to see ya
This drive couldn’t feel any longer
You know
I’m gonna keep my promise
When I’m spinning out, I’ll be stickin’ round
Get me off the ground, you always stick around
When the chips are down, yeh I’ll be stickin’ round
