LA-based rapper and singer-songwriter Demie Cao has released her new EP, Thicker Lines, with a music video of the title track.
“‘Thicker Lines’ is a song about moving on from living in the past with resentment and animosity. I meant for it to be a song about inner turmoil rather than an actual tangible fight that is happening within a relationship. Many times when something goes sour with a relationship/friendship/etc., we (at least I do) tend to hold onto the hurt and anger which festers into a monster within ourselves, even if all that remains of the relationship is just dust-apparitions. Memories. I meant for this song to be about the inner fight someone who is still trying to make sense of toxicity a past relationship might’ve brought, and drawing boundaries from it. ”
