What was your inspiration to have the beginning of lotus eaters play at the end of cosmos? (Noticed on Spotify) Are those to songs more connected to each other than the other ones?
Yes! Actually, I think of "cosmos" as like an intro to "lotus eaters" . A part of me wanted to release them together as one track, but I personally prefer when songs like that give you the option to listen to each separately.
As for why, "cosmos" is about healing from my dad's unexpected death & finding the will to go on. My dad dealt with addiction and it is ultimately what ended his life; and I've definitely inherited those addictive genes.
"lotus eaters" is about the double-edged sword of addictions and indulgence. My first instinct is always to numb my pain rather than face it; which feels good for a while, but will ultimately keep me from growing and moving on from whatever was causing the pain to begin with. That's actually why "voodoo doll" is the song that follows.
Since it's related to the meaning of the Three of Swords, "voodoo doll" is about experiencing heartbreak for the first time and realizing the pain was necessary to grow.
