“For mornings where it settles in. You know you’re in a spiral but it’s hard to fight the current. Sometimes I just feel tired, like everything is far away and I exist in a never-ending middle ground I built for myself. It stretches out ahead of me and back the way I came, so I lose track of which way is which. In a sense, it’s comforting; the numbness isn’t new anymore. I’d find ways to keep warm in the form of coping mechanisms, but in time you learn that those methods – whatever they may be – can’t fully be controlled. It’s impossible to take aim at only the things you wish would disappear in the search for relief; everything else gets erased along with the pain. It took time for me to come to that understanding, I had to look elsewhere to find peace.” – Noah Khorey

‘You Miss Everything’ – Album Bio
‘You Miss Everything’ is a story of separation. In varying degrees of sonic aggression, it explores themes of grief, doubt and longing from the position of a person left without. Chasing ghosts, we sometimes get to know them. This EP attempts to discern whether these spirits are versions of ourselves we never became or personifications of regrets and misgivings, cursed to follow us in silence until the day we let them go.
In the track The Love That Remains, the lyrics cry out: “lives are lived, not missed” as if trying to convince itself of the truth in those words. The album dives into an emotional turnstile, pondering a pale-tinted present, and trying to discover how to see ourselves in color.
“Explore a garden grown to thrive instead of die in” muses of a headspace where we can grow freely, while understanding that a garden is a difficult thing to maintain. I want to believe we can choose whether or not we wither. The album’s closer attempts to come face to face with My Ghost. While we’re living, is our ghost waiting for us on the other side? Or is it an entity we create each day with the decisions we make? Does it live and breathe because I do, or in spite of me? In the end, the EP concludes that there doesn’t need to be an answer. You can’t avoid happiness based on the fear of its departure. You can’t feel truly happy without knowing what it is to be sad. And if on the other side it turns out that my consciousness is simply wisping around the cosmos, doomed to reflect on everything I’d ever done … “I’d force my ghost to relive the memories, if it meant that I could feel just as much”.
