On “Smothering,” Daimen Seid turns inward on a deeply personal track about the uneasy relationship between falling in love, depression, and insecurity. The song doesn’t present romance as an easy escape, but rather, it feels like it’s sitting with the fear and emotional heaviness that can come with it. There is a melancholy in the concept but an awareness that makes the track feel human rather than beaten. “Smothering” is important because it’s prepared to get into uncomfortable feelings without sugarcoating and offers an intimate portrait of someone who’s trying to love but is fighting themselves.
