De Nobel
Leiden, Netherlands
Marc Jansen takes you around in his sleek car. Sometimes he opens the roof, occasionally the windshield wipers are in their highest position. The views are expansive, they change after every turn but flow organically into each other. You speed with him on highways and dikes, through cities and polders, and at every gas station, he treats you to coffee.
The song is very much about communication, about how a conversation between two people unfolds, and how undermining that communication can lead to the end of relationships—whether they are friendships or romantic relationships.
"I Feel Tired" is a phrase that someone can keep repeating to avoid the conversation. "I'm tired, and that's why we're not having the conversation," which might actually help us. It's a vicious circle where the energy is lacking to form a new dynamic, and so the perpetual toxic dynamic is maintained.
Musically framed with a pounding beat and bassline, and a slightly druggy vibe, it also supports the feeling of something claustrophobic, panicky. A slumbering state that won't resolve itself unless things change.
