All That Matters
In moments of isolation, it can easily feel like we’re losing our grip on the world and have no control. “All That Matters” is a song in which aeriqah documents a dissociative state- in knowing the world is still spinning, yet somehow not being present in it. When we feel behind or break down, it is sobering to realise we are not solely at fault. The systems in place, the people in our lives and unfortunate happenings can build up and make us feel like it’s on us for not handling things well enough. This song conveys that at any given point, we are doing the best with what we have. Towards the end of the song, a crowd sings “one day at a time. Just take it one step at a time”, which is a reminder that we heal best in community and are never as lonely as we feel.
