“‘I Don’t Feel Real’ was the first step towards me taking more of a narrative approach to songwriting. Just after the release of Give It Up [EP], I had this debilitating crisis of identity as a songwriter that spiraled into feeling like I sort of didn’t have anything to offer anybody, and really like I had no real prospect for the future. You know, stuck in this very myopic view of my life I just walked around feeling entirely empty, which is where the phrase ‘I Don’t Feel Real’ came from. But I knew when I sat down to write that I didn’t want to be like, ‘I’m sad,’ for 3 minutes, it just wasn’t interesting to me and I didn’t think it would be interesting to anyone listening to it. So I wrote this story about someone who winds up in the hospital after a particularly self-destructive emotional breakdown, who’s forced to acknowledge what a burden that can be to the people around them. Strangely enough, it felt more personal to mix the fictitious with real-life experiences. ” – Gabe Mouer, frontman for Patternist

“It’s about losing control, spinning into a state of panic, or even having a full on anxiety attack… When you’re dealing with depression and trying to pull yourself back up from the ground you can slip real easily and when you do, it can get real dark real quick internally and you kind of panic because you don’t really know if you’re going to be OK again.” – Dylan Disaster
