about
Failing Grace is an appeal against society’s policing of women’s decisions.
The protagonist, Grace, has been led to believe she's the one failing, when in fact the world is failing her. The lyrics represent the patronising platitudes and gaslighting she is subjected to as she moves through the different stages of her life.
The single completes a trilogy, along with Blockade and A.I.T.A, laying the groundwork for the next series of releases. We started developing ideas I would have previously written off as being too weird, paying off with some really distinctive stuff.

lyrics
Wide-eyed young and green
Innocent sixteen
Don't go on by yourself yet
She was just like you
Flying straight and true
Into a turbulent sky
Underprepared for inclement conditions
Surrender to fate
It never pays to wait
I'll be your one escape
Your way out
Try not to fret about your own ambition
Go into battle with your intuition
(We're on your side)
Can't get your head around this inquisition
(We're on your side)
Can't wrap your head around it
Do you get it yet
We're on your side
