Shoom

In 'Shoom,' Trust delves into the complexities of inner conflict and the yearning for something more profound. The song opens with a vivid metaphor, 'I wish I could eat your sun,' suggesting a deep desire to consume or be enveloped by something radiant and life-giving. This imagery sets the tone for a narrative that oscillates between longing and frustration. The phrase 'Curse your chance to softly' hints at missed opportunities or the gentle yet painful realization of what could have been. The lyrics 'I wish to go life spend making' and 'That's a golden heights' reflect a desire to achieve something significant, yet there's an acknowledgment of settling for 'a second best,' indicating a struggle with accepting mediocrity or unfulfilled dreams.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'This can't be right, it's in me,' underscores a sense of internal dissonance. The 'simple side' mentioned repeatedly could symbolize a more straightforward, perhaps naive aspect of the self that clashes with the complexities of reality. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the lines 'Why push away me, push away it could, push away life,' which suggest a self-sabotaging tendency or a fear of embracing life's full potential. The use of 'shoom' as a refrain adds a layer of ambiguity, possibly representing a sound of release or a moment of clarity amidst the chaos.

The song's structure, with its cyclical repetition and haunting melodies, mirrors the themes of entrapment and the desire for escape. Trust's unique blend of darkwave and synth-pop elements creates an atmospheric backdrop that enhances the emotional weight of the lyrics. The recurring motif of 'They know I scream it whoa oh oh' serves as a cathartic release, a moment of raw expression that contrasts with the otherwise introspective tone. 'Shoom' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, capturing the tension between aspiration and reality, and the perpetual quest for meaning and fulfillment.
