about

"Trapped" emerges as a compelling alt-pop ballad, intricately woven with nostalgic 80s undertones, harmonious choral whispers, and a sonic landscape that is unmistakably El Rashid. Originally conceived during El's teenage years, the track, boasting a mix of strings, nylon string guitar, and dissonant harmonies, garnered significant attention upon its maiden upload to SoundCloud.

Fast forward over a decade, and "Trapped" undergoes a transformative evolution. Infusing electronic elements and harnessing experimental vocal prowess, El Rashid melds her operatic roots with eclectic influences.

lyrics

Song Lyrics:

i disintegrate,
dissociate
as i relocate my sense of self

wanna go back to
just me and you
back to where i used to live

it doesn't matter...
(ah)

i'm feelin' trapped, feelin' trapped
i don't want to act
i'm feelin' trapped, feelin' trapped
oo i'm askin'
why?
i need help

you disintegrate,
annihilate
you need to relocate your sense of self

oo you've lost control
lost everybody
and now you might just lose it all

(oo oo)

i'm feelin' trapped, feelin' trapped
i don't want to act
i'm feelin' trapped, feelin' trapped
oo i'm askin'
why?
i need help

it doesn't matter
no it can't matter
how much i try
i've lost all my control
i've lost it all
in my mind
