“I wrote all of the songs from personal experiences, but those experiences are all over the map. They’re all so different from each other,” Bishop said of the EP. “‘Blurry Vision’ for example, is about the anxiety that comes with growing older and reminiscing on times when I felt excited about the little things, but I’d say most of them stem from heartbreak.”
