Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
From what it might have been
Seems to be what's fine
Don't work too much
Into be your thing
Am I your thing?
I write easy when I seize this
Don't comes war
Our hearts
Our feel comfort
I write easy when I seize this
Don't comes war
Our hearts
Our feel comfort
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
I write easy when I seize this
Don't comes war
Our hearts
Our feel comfort
I write easy when I seize this
Don't comes war
Our hearts
Our feel comfort
The repetitive chorus of "Shut it down" in Maya Jane Coles's song "Comfort" provides a sense of urgency and an invitation to shut down any distractions or negative influences that are preventing the listener from achieving comfort. The vocal layering of the chorus creates an almost hypnotic effect, further emphasizing the importance of shutting out the outside world and focusing on inner peace. The following lines, "from what it might have been, seems to be what's fine," suggest that the listener may have initially had different expectations or plans for their life, but the current situation is satisfactory and should not be overthought. The line "don't work too much, into be your thing" can also be interpreted as a reminder to not allow work or societal pressures to define one's identity, but rather to focus on personal happiness and comfort.
The repeated verse of "I write easy when I seize this, don't comes war, our hearts, our feel comfort" is almost cryptic but can be interpreted as a personal mantra to focus on creating and seizing opportunities without allowing external conflict to weigh on one's heart, ultimately leading to a sense of comfort and ease. Overall, the song "Comfort" encourages the listener to shut out any negativity or distractions and focus solely on achieving inner peace and comfort by being true to oneself and avoiding societal pressures.

I love how the melody is building up on itself, I could listen to that all day.

That roll is addictive. I played around with sampling it and ended up listening to a continuous roll of it for about 2 hours... and still wanted more. This song is my perfect acoustic aesthetic.

This is the kinda song you'll hear on a night out with a person you really like but you have no idea of what the song's called. Years will pass and you'll wake up occasionally with it playing through your mind on repeat and you'll yearn for it like you'll yearn for the way that you felt with that person that night all those years ago.
