This is the current state of Shrink, aka Vasser, aka Sam Breathwick, a multi-talented producer and musician constantly transforming himself into new levels of musical forms.

“It’s getting a bit boring at the minute. I’m doing the same commute to and from the studio everyday, but I’m trying to spice it up by listening to different music and shit. I’ve been listening a lot to a band called Spirit of the Beehive from Philadelphia who are really good, but I’ve also been listening to all the albums and artists I never got round to, so that’s good I suppose.”

Little Things
Vasser Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelings lost again
Settling for friends, with you
Doesn't seem to end
Unsure as to cut you off
Move on and cut the cloth, cause now

Shrugging at the shoulders again
Harder to speak the truth or pretend that this is karma

So easily done, don't risk being wrong
Let the silence speak for itself

Because I can't go on like this
Breaking up over the little things
And if I don't get over this
We can try

Cause now
Feelings growing older again
Acting with the heart not the head
That this is karma
So easily done, don't risk being wrong
Let the silence speak for itself as we end

Cause I can't go on like this
Breaking up over the little things

And if I don't get over it
At least I tried

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vasser's song "Little Things" seem to tell the story of a person who has lost a romantic relationship and is now settling for friendship. They express the mixed feelings that come with this kind of situation, as the singer is uncertain whether they should cut off the other person or try to move on while remaining friends. The song hints at a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer talks about "acting with the heart not the head" and letting "the silence speak for itself", suggesting that sometimes it's best to simply let things be.

Lyrically, the song has a melancholic tone that is reflected in the slow, dreamy melody and the soft, whispered vocals. The repeated refrain of "breaking up over the little things" creates a sense of frustration and regret, while the use of karma suggests a belief in the idea that everything happens for a reason, even if it's not always clear at first. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of letting go.
