Regarding the work, Miller has said that he is \"just talking about things\" he is \"afraid of, or things that are just thoughts and emotions.\" He delivers his thoughts and emotions through calm-but-intricate raps and melancholy-tinged singing (glad he is leaning into more singing after 2016's \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Feminine)\u003c\/i\u003e, and despite the arching sadness, there are glimpses of positivity \u0026amp; optimism, as it is clear that Miller is longing for for healing, growth, and self-love, regardless of how slow that process to might be.
