about

This song is about my journey with depression and suicidality and some healing found through radical acceptance.

"We cannot change anything that we do not first accept.
Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."

lyrics

I have lost count
of all the pills I’ve had to swallow
all the ways I’ve tried to love myself and
What I found out
I needed space for all the hatred
make a way to feel and say it

 Cause you and I we don’t exist
in one dimension
or two dimension
And its more than three or four, five or six
We’re Iridescent
I'm Iridescent
 
Prisms inside
darkness and light
Oooh, that’s you and I
Prison inside me
thunder and lightening
oooh I, barely survived
 
When it hurts so bad you would leave
I wish you didn’t have to hide it,
to yourself deny it
When all you want is to be free
I know why and that’s so valid,
Your pain is valid
 
Cause you and I we don’t exist yea
in one dimension
oh or two dimensions
All the dark inside us needs acknowledgment
to be accepted
oh we are Iridescent
 
Where ever you are,
whatever you do
I’m holding space
I hold it for you
 
Whoever you are
oh and whatever you choose
I'll hold this space
forever for you
