a stranger with my face by Karin Ann

"'a stranger with my face' is a song about losing parts of yourself when getting close to someone else (whether romantically or platonically), becoming a version of the other person, or who you think they want you to be. Some of the lyrics almost felt religious to me, so I wanted it to sound like a choir on the chorus with all the backing vocals and harmonies. It's almost like you're making that person your God, you're worshipping them in a very toxic and unhealthy way. You end up talking their slang, adapting to how they speak... it's not even about trying to make them like you, more so that you like them so much that you almost want to be more like them. You end up not knowing who you are without them." - Karin Ann
