Collection Summary: Set List Eleven opens with the buzz of fluorescent lights and the echo of worn-out shoes on tiled floors. "Love It or Leave It" sets the tone — a defiant personal mantra wrapped in mirrors and doubt. "Groovy Gravy" follows in a haze of breakdown and breakthrough. "Devil's Friend" and "Disciple of Dirt" wrestle openly with temptation, addiction, and the cost of chasing truth. "Moth" drifts into flame, fusing fatalism with fragile beauty. "Insomnia" takes up the midnight torch, pacing the room with too much knowledge and not enough rest. "Kicking the Can" finds poetry in getting dumped and walking away with a garbage bag full of dreams. "Cement" is poured from revolution — rage and rhetoric baked into the foundation of modern despair. "Fancy Words" strips back all the clever tricks and speaks directly. "Dance Floor" sends us off with one final cigarette and a crooked smile — choosing joy for a night, because the rest will still be broken come morning.
