Story Behind the Song

Charles captures the aftermath of a fleeting encounter and the emptiness that follows. He wakes to a familiar sense of loss and shame, haunted by his choices and the damage he’s caused. Each day feels like a painful repeat of the last, filled with substance abuse, regret, and a sense of hopelessness. Despite knowing better and feeling remorse, he’s caught in a loop they can't seem to escape—resigned to a life he believes he deserves, marked by emotional and physical ruin. Actuality is based on Charles’s in-progress short story about a guy who's his own worst enemy.
