about

With a vibe reminiscent of PJ Harvey and Morphine, Dumping My Delusion tells the story of a weird moment of clarity, standing in my bedroom looking out the window, when I realized that it was senseless for me to carry around a years-old hurt that those who inflicted it were not even thinking about anymore. The song has a grinding, noshing, releasing mood, kind of like pulling off the top of your head, reaching in, rummaging that stuff together, then chucking it as hard and as far away as you can. My producer, Kenny Schick, nailed the feeling, cementing a decided, new direction in my music that involves a lot of electric guitar overdrive.

lyrics

It’s right there on the floor
I don’t need it anymore
I no longer feel the need
To hang on to poison seed

There I go, dumping my delusion
Let my truth be more than illusion
I just might reach the right conclusion
In my soul, a stunning revolution

I extend an olive branch
Hoping for an avalanche
I’m beginning to believe
There’s no reason left to grieve

There I go, dumping my delusion
Let my truth be more than illusion
I just might reach the right conclusion
In my soul, a stunning revolution

I can put this feeling down
I can let in healing now
Crazy places are redeemed
Muddy water becomes clean

Not just knowing right from wrong
But embracing what is strong
Leaving that which makes me weak
So much strength to turn a cheek

There I go, dumping my delusion
Let my truth be more than illusion
I just might reach the right conclusion
In my soul, a stunning revolution

Oh … muddy water becomes clean
