Verse 1 You like to bend the rules, there’s no tellin you You’re the wild star on my fan poster Now I reflect on the scenes, while you cement the belief That the more you pull the more I reach Pre-Chorus You don’t need to voice the thought I can hear it, I can hear it You don’t need to speak at all I can feel it, I can feel it Chorus I feel it in your movements A sugar coat confusion Maybe once you had good intentions But like them you’re a fading presence With your movements In your movements Verse 2 It’s all over your face, the truth I can trace To what you want ain’t here no more Can no longer ignore, the sirens at my door Telling me come on now, won’t you run along Pre-Chorus You don’t need to voice the thought I can hear it, I can hear it You don’t need to speak at all I can feel it, I can feel it Chorus I feel it in your movements A sugar coat confusion Maybe once you had good intentions But like them you’re a fading presence With your movements In your movements Middle Eight According to reality there’s no space, no time for me According to what I see, the butterflies have taken leave I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it Pre-Chorus You don’t need to voice the thought I can hear it, I can hear it You don’t need to speak at all I can feel it, I can feel it Chorus (extended) I feel it in your movements A sugar coat confusion Maybe once you had good intentions But like them you’re a fading presence With your movements In your movements Oh I can feel it (hey hey) I can feel it (hey hey) I can feel it (hey hey) In your movements In your movements

Verse 1 I’m in my head 24/7 Can’t get around it I’m addicted to tension Even if it’s good I’m fighting No wonder I’m uninviting Just cos its good timing Doesn’t mean I’ll be trying Chorus Gotta get out of here Gotta get out of here I’m seeing red, my plants are dead I’m in love with my therapist It pulls me down, so I can’t get out I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed Gotta get out of here Gotta get out of here Verse 2 Made a persona to settle my conscious Now I’m lost in my own performance Never been one for the night life Too closed off for the spotlight Walk on part in a franchise Couldn’t just fall for the nice guy Chorus Gotta get out of here Gotta get out of here I’m seeing red, my plants are dead I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist) It pulls me down, so I can’t get out I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed Gotta get out of here Gotta get out of here Middle Eight There has never been a day, where I couldn’t separate What was there in my mind to what happened at the time I’d like to get away, make room in my headspace Finally get out, get out Chorus Gotta get out of here Gotta get out of here I’m seeing red, my plants are dead I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist) It pulls me down, so I can’t get out I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed I gotta get out of here (ooo) I gotta get out of here (ooo) Outro I gotta get out Gotta get out I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist) I gotta get out Gotta get out I’m in love with my therapist I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here
3.	Ruthless 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 My spirit animal is now a lion Had to change it to hush the sirens The final message was the heartbreaker It cut my airways to lose your promise Pre-Chorus I don’t wanna break down It’s time I leave this hideout Chorus Can somebody tell me when it started to change When it all plays right with no giveaways It’s all ruthless It gets ruthless Made me ruthless Made me ruthless Verse 2 You were a window to a paradise When I jumped it turned into a landslide Had to build up my resilience And not become a part of your indulgence Pre-Chorus I don’t wanna break down It’s time I leave this hideout Chorus Can somebody tell me when it started to change When it all plays right with no giveaways It’s all ruthless It gets ruthless Made me ruthless Made me ruthless Middle Eight I was worlds away, wanted you to stay It was ruthless (ruthless) Was the one without, so I hurt myself It was ruthless (ruthless) Now it’s freaking me out Your voice echoing round It’s ruthless It’s ruthless It gets ruthless Chorus/Outro Can somebody tell me when it started to change When it all plays right till the final stage It’s all ruthless It gets ruthless It’s all ruthless Gets ruthless It’s all ruthless Made me ruthless Ruthless Made me ruthless Ruthless Made me ruthless Ruthless Ruthless
4.	Under the Heat 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Can’t shake this feeling that I got something to prove It’s the need to be loved under some stranger’s rules Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Verse 2 Made my room public so I could get off of the shelf Became so transparent I couldn’t see myself Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Pre -Chorus And it wears me down like nothing else How I’m forced what to feel And you’re asking me how long it’s been? Well it’s been years Chorus Under the heat, since I was young The value of me has been measured by what they want Been under the heat, for far too long See my voice is strong enough to speak on its on Verse 3 I know it’s my body but somehow, I’m still led Ingrained in my psyche, be a lady they said Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Pre -Chorus And it wears me down like nothing else How I’m forced what to feel And you’re asking me how long it’s been? Well it’s been years Chorus Under the heat, since I was young The value of me has been measured by what they want Been under the heat, for far too long See my voice is strong enough to speak on its on Outro Under the heat Under the heat Oh we fall under the heat Oh we fall under the heat Under the heat Oh we fall under the heat Oh we fall under the heat Under the heat Under the heat, heat, heat, heat Under the heat, heat, heat, heat

about

My Room Made Public EP bursts onto the scene with indie-pop inspired bangers fused with a classic 70s flare. With addictive hooks, pounding drums, and catchy soft-rock guitar licks all wrapped up in unapologetic lyrics. My Room Made Public pierces through the heartstrings to say the unspoken with Sophie’s emotional vocal delivery being the driving force. It is both empowering and melancholic with its production and lyricism, creating a new and exciting wave.

Each track scratches the surface on different aspects of our lives we share, from blurry romantic relationships (‘Movements’), to mental health issues (‘I’m In Love With My Therapist’), to high achievement pressures (‘Ruthless’) and identity crisis (‘Under the Heat’).

Sophie explains: “The concept of the EP started from my growing hunger turned obsession with wanting to be heard. What do I have to do to be really listened to, to be taken seriously as an artist, as a woman, as a person? How much do I have to share to feel like I’m enough? I spiralled, thinking ‘it’s just not in the cards for me’. The noise in my head got so loud that it really started to well... piss me off. I became acutely aware of how strong the pressure of sharing everything with everyone all the time is. There is this fear that if you don’t share it all your identity is no longer validated or worthwhile and that can be very dangerous. I don’t want to keep feeling that and I don’t want anyone else feeling that either. The project took on a whole new meaning when the pandemic hit and we were all forced to reflect on ourselves and the world we live in, it made me think well it is more relatable now than ever.

With My Room Made Public, I wanted to create a body of work that is an emotionally open and honest introduction to me as an artist and the songs I write. It is chapter one of what I hope will become a classic trilogy. At the end of the day, I just want to bring emotional comfort and make people want to fight for what they want out of life, find themselves in their own way and to never settle for something that hurts them. I guess I am trying to do that for myself too but there is always strength in numbers.”
