SOME PEOPLE
Second Single (2023)
As a queer person, I have come to realise that putting on a mask is usually harmful and that stepping away from certain people and discussions is crucial to preserve my mental health.
"Some People" was my way of writing about the inability of many people to mirror themselves and reason with less formulaic ways of living. This inability leads to counter-arguments born of religious beliefs, fear (of the self and of change), and lack of exposure, used to deflect and diminish the other.”
Some people turn away from the need to question and reflect. Therefore, the search for reasoning always outweighs the feelings of those who are judged. This song is about making peace with this war, which can often mean being complicit or perceived as such. Agon says that in the end ‘Some People’ is about “recharging, regaining control and being strong in my fragility”.
GLITTER GUNS
Music Video
“Glitter Guns is an inner dialogue on how apathy can take over in the face of overwhelming prejudice and discrimination when change seems next to impossible.
In the end, it all boils down to accountability and a deafening sense of guilt, trying to move towards change and wanting to do better.”
