This Is My First Heist Tracklist
Redeemer
The song is about attempting to be optimistic and hopeful while struggling with depression. A meditation on repetitively leaving things to be figured out in the future. Frida was experiencing derealization episodes for months, in which contributed to the theme of the song.
Eviscerate
A song about struggling to find ground in a relationship that feels that is bound to end because of stagnancy. Within the song there is a sense of contemplation on what more there could be to offer after constantly attempting to make things work as well as one’s desire for more.
Where Are the Birds
A track that involves the concept of a connection with someone deteriorating. Knowing that staying and entertaining the situation is bound to cause one pain. The song highlights the phase of becoming aware of one’s delusions and cyclical hurtful decisions.
Footfalls
Gannon wrote the verses and chorus of footfalls from the perspective of a close friend after they had fallen on hard times. The song, at its core, is about waiting around for someone who is not willing to reciprocate; defending oneself by claiming that they wouldn’t treat their partner that same way.
