"Softly is soft in the way of rusted barbed wire and rosebush thorns- it is a dark fairytale dreamscape asking the listener if they would like to continue as the victim or become their own savior. This album is not about finding safety in empty comforts of illusion- there is no knight in shining armor. There is only yourself. Softly travels through blood darkness and invites you to plant the seeds of your own garden. We are all dreaming, may we transmute our ego's, and our individual and collective pain in order to birth a new reality. There is a light in the darkness, and a darkness in the light- an agonizing truth which must be swallowed as necessary medicine. Awakening is not beautiful or joyous until you have fought through the depths of pain and sorrow to reach your own purity and allow your perceptions on truth and reality to deeply change. We must all take responsibility for ourselves and our participation in the machine. Cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance preys upon the weak, ego-centered sleepers but we are all God and can all wake up to our true purposes by using hyper-focused intent and diving deep into personal healing and unveiling the illusions of this society. Softly claw your way from your mental grave."
