Self-destruction comes in many forms, and unfortunately staying in toxic relationships is one of them. You know it’s not right, and staying is prolonging inevitable pain that may never heal, but you can’t strip yourself away. Sometimes choosing pain over numbness feels like the right way to go. “The Countdown” is a new single from Taylor Davidson that explores cycles of self-destructive habits and the unhealthy routines that are so easy to run back to. With stark lyricism, dynamic production and authentic vocal delivery, this song has you reflecting on your own personal bad habits. It feels like a diary page you can’t stop reading. If you’re someone that’s stuck in an attachment to someone who hurt you the most, “The Countdown” is for you.
Taylor wrote “The Countdown” as an honest confession that feels like you’re watching her private spiral in real time. It’s full of self-awareness on how easy it is to choose pain over feeling nothing at all. “Then at least I will feel something, it’s better than nothing.” We love the things that hurt us the most when we are drowning in emotions. Why stab the knife ourselves when we can hand it off to someone that can cut deeper? Truth be told, habits are hard to break. I admire Taylor’s vulnerability to feeling stuck and questioning if there’s an out. “The Countdown” is something we may all relate to on some level whether we are ready to acknowledge it or not.
