about

The Oculist drag you into deeper waters with the release of 12 Step Sentence, a foreboding exploration of the horrors of addiction. The subject matter takes a much darker tone when compared to the previous singles, 12 Step Sentence provides a narrative exploring two faces of the drug addict. On one hand the protagonist strives to convince the listener of their intention to heal and move away from the grip of their addiction. The other face shows their addiction insidiously corrupting their scruples rendering them unwilling to change and seeking to remain in the pitiful state they have chosen. The lyrics were inspired by the documentaries “Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict” and Lanre Fehintolas “Charlie Says Don’t get High on Your Own Supply”. A cautionary tale indeed!
