Pick a Side — Or Think for Yourself

Everything now demands allegiance.
Every issue framed as a line you must stand on.

This song is about the pressure to “pick a side” — and the quiet cost of treating complex problems like team sports. As if refusing to choose a camp automatically makes you wrong, weak, or complicit.

“Pick a Side” isn’t about avoiding responsibility.
It’s about refusing false choices.

Some questions don’t have two answers.
Some truths don’t belong to factions.
And some integrity comes from thinking slower, not louder.

You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to disagree with everyone.
You’re allowed to not fit cleanly into a box.

Not every issue is a battlefield.

This project exists for reflection, not consumption.

These songs are written as arguments, questions, and observations about what we are all moving through as human beings on this earth—fear, power, time, satisfaction, loss, and death. They are not personal confessions, nor are they meant to be absorbed quickly.

If something here unsettled you, stay with it. If it resonated, return to it later. Most of what shapes us remains unexamined, and clarity rarely arrives on first contact.

You are not asked to agree with anything here—only to think honestly about the conditions we share.
