Mothé shares the genesis of “Terrified:”
“’Terrified’ is a song that came out of a three-day bender I did in Mansfield, Ohio. I was running off steam in a lot of areas in my life and found a lot of comfort in being completely inebriated in such a small town.
“When it came time to write ‘Terrified’ I found myself just accounting isolated moments of embarrassment and fear socially, and for awhile when something bad would happen in my life I would want to go back to Ohio and use.
“That’s why the lyrics describe moments I hated going through like running into anex’s family member at a funeral, near car crashes I don’t talk about, and finally ignoring all of the signs you shouldn’t be with someone and moving forward with loving them anyways.
“To this day I want to go back sometimes. I’m sober now, but it does sound nice to hide in Mansfield.”

I felt I got the song once I paid attention to the build of the story and lyrics.
And I missed all the warnings when I asked bigger questions You said “beware of me, it’s a slower sting” And I felt terrified then ‘cause I hated your answers So I laughed and walked away I regret everything
