“Sick of the World" is an ode to the built-up frustrations caused by the daily nuances of navigating life. These daily routines and shortcomings can slowly chip away at the people we wanted to become and, in some cases, the people we thought we were. This song is the experience of a person who has wholeheartedly accepted the fact that their daily surroundings have quietly altered their existence in the worst way, and they are starting to truly dislike who and where they are because of it.

Forty Miles
