about

Meanjin-based electro-pop artist Trace Decay is today returning with his second release of the year, bringing forth his darkly seductive new single ‘Radicalize ft. Lucille Two’ - out now.

Following the release of bone-sinking single ‘Paradigm’, Trace Decay is delivering reverberating retro-pop rumination in ‘Radicalize’, which explores the internal dialogue in frontman Jordan Depas’ mind.

“‘​​Radicalize’ is about the crippling self doubt and existential fear that sets in when trying to uphold how people perceive you as both an artist and human being,” Jordan explains.

“I’ve had to take a step back at times from being active in both my personal and creative life as I could feel my mental health totally disintegrating under the pressure of keeping the algorithms happy. It's crazy how quickly one's thoughts radicalize into this extreme and impossible task of being something to everyone, which leaves very little space to be who you want to be.”

lyrics

I’m hanging up now cause I don’t believe it
Won’t give it thought if you don’t mean it
You say it’s nothing but I can feel it coming
Another round of doubt

I don’t think my heart can take it
Radicalize my thoughts
Your always so pre-occupied
with what everybody else wants

We can’t help ourselves
it’s all just the way things go
When your lacking self-control

I’ve been making time for all the wrong people
Forcing talk that barely moves the needle
You say you’re leaving but I can see you stalling
for time but now it’s gone

And I waited for your call
But nothing ever came through at all
so you can hide behind your pride
And I’ll never really understand
Why?

I don’t think my mind can take it
Radicalize my thoughts
I’m always so pre-occupied
with what everybody else wants
What everybody else wants

We’re always so preoccupied
with what everybody else wants
No matter how hard we try
it’ll never be good enough
If it’s what everybody else wants
