Behind The Tracks: Dead Eyes - Relapse (Single) (2025)

‘Relapse’ is a love song for the self-destructive, a battle cry for the war between the storm and silence,” explains vocalist Zach Williams, perfectly explaining the track’s paradoxical nature.

 

Here’s the thing nobody tells you about healing: sometimes the worst part isn’t the initial wound. It’s the moment when you realize you’ve become addicted to the pain itself. "Relapse" dives headfirst into that uncomfortable truth, the one therapists dance around and self-help books conveniently skip over. It’s about that sick, twisted moment when someone who destroyed you walks back into your life, and instead of running, you find yourself opening the door wider. Williams isn’t preaching or offering solutions; he’s sitting in the mud with you, acknowledging that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you want to fall apart again. It’s messy, it’s human, and it’s exactly the kind of uncomfortable conversation we need more of in music.
