"Castle" is my first song from the perspective of someone in the music industry and it's this idea of me gunning for my moment. Sonically, the nontraditional percussion and the choir supported the idea that there's a massive population. There's some religious imagery in it, too. Being an artist and having a following can be a very scary thing because idolization makes you question your inner role in the universe. A lot of people get caught up in this idea of, "Wow! This world does revolve around me," and it most certainly does not. It's the exact opposite; these people don't exist for you, you exist for them.
