Ekkstacy began creating music during high school, taking influence from film, and artists including Elliott Smith, The Drums, Bon Iver, and Bedroom. His music primarily involved youtube beats, in which he sang over. He released his debut EP Negative in November 2021, with the single "I Walk This Earth All by Myself" becoming what is considered to be his most popular song. He released the album Misery in September 2022, a more rock and new wave inspired album than his previous release.

EKKSTACY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Oh, oh)
Iโฒve been thinking too much, too much
I got a lot on my mind
Wake up, I don't wanna do that half the time
And then I met her one night
And it all slows down
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
Nothing makes me happy, happy
But when you knock on my door, I smile
I hope you can stay awhile
I hope you can stay
And it all slows down
And it all slows down
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
The lyrics to EKKSTACY's "Then I Met Her" seem to convey a profound sentiment of escapism from the pressures of daily life. The opening lines, "I've been thinking too much, too much / I got a lot on my mind," suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and preoccupied with their own thoughts. They go on to express their reluctance to even wake up, as if the prospect of facing the day is too daunting.
However, all of that changes when they meet someone special. The line "And then I met her one night" marks a turning point in the song, signaling the shift in the singer's perspective. Suddenly, everything starts to slow down, making it seem as if time itself is pausing to allow them to appreciate this new connection.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "And it all slows down," captures the sense of stillness and peace that the singer experiences in the presence of their newfound companion. They acknowledge that nothing else in their life brings them happiness, but simply having this person around is enough to make them smile. The hope that they express in the line "I hope you can stay awhile" adds to the feeling of longing and wistfulness that pervades the song.
Overall, "Then I Met Her" is a song that speaks to the transformative power of love and human connection. It conveys a sense of yearning for something more, and the way that a chance encounter with another person can change everything.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been thinking too much, too much
I've been overthinking and worrying excessively
I got a lot on my mind
I have various concerns filling up my thoughts
Wake up, I don't wanna do that half the time
I lack the motivation to do things and just want to stay in bed
And then I met her one night
But then one night, I met her
And it all slows down
All my anxiety and racing thoughts come to a halt
Nothing makes me happy, happy
I feel discontent with most things in my life
But when you knock on my door, I smile
However, when she comes to see me, I feel joy and happiness
I hope you can stay awhile
I wish she could spend more time with me
And it all slows down
Again, my worries and stress take a backseat when she's around
