Facade

Paradigm Shift

A facade shatters into pieces like broken glass.

A winner of the special award, Paradigm Shift presents "Facade," a song on the issues of frustration, guilt, and abuse in a melody of release.

Song sung from the perspective of a person with a mental health condition in an abusive (not necessarily romantic) relationship. Depicts inner turmoil, guilt, frustration, drug abuse, and the eventual decision to leave. Uses auditory and visual imagery of broken glass to represent a false pretense or a facade being removed.
