Royal Thunder have shared a video for “The Sinking Chair” off of their newly released album, “WICK“. Frontwoman/bassist Mlny Parsons said of the track:
“This song is about feeling stuck in a sinking chair. You can sit there and allow yourself to be consumed by negative/paralyzing thoughts and they will do just that, consume you. You have to get up and ‘break the hand that covers your mouth.’
I hope this song brings the listener a sense of empowerment to choose a different way, a better way. When I wrote the lyrics for ‘The Sinking Chair,’ I was in one myself. I was in a place of frustration with a looming sense of defeat hanging above my head like a dark cloud.
When I realized I didn’t have to stay there, that’s when I pulled myself up and moved onto something better. It always amazes me how blind we can be to the truth when we are in such a dark place, to the point of not even realizing we are truly in a dark place. Why stay there?! Rise from your sinking chair and run!”
