State Champs have released the next single from their upcoming album Kings Of The New Age – listen to Eventually now.
State Champs have followed up February's Everybody But You with a powerful new single, Eventually.
Say the band of the meaning behind the single: “In the past few years, I’ve had my first real experience with mental health issues, as well as some physical battles that have affected my thought process on the future. This song is about facing those things head on. I’ve never been one to open up about these things, so I hope if anyone relates to Eventually even in the slightest, it lets them know that it’s okay to have these feelings and to talk about them. Writing this song motivated me to take the necessary steps to get my mind and body back to a healthy place, and I hope those listening are able to do the same.”
Indeed, vocalist Derek DiScanio told Kerrang! recently that, “Eventually hits home for me the most: it’s got the story behind the past couple years and dealing with the mental and physical challenges. The chorus is, ‘Started running from what made me paranoid,’ which is me being in my own head about [my voice failing] and with the pandemic, but then the second half of the chorus is, ‘I’m taking back the one thing that felt permanent’ in my life, which is State Champs and my career. So it’s me feeling confident again and finding that motivation to make [our career] last as long as it can.”
Eventually is taken from State Champs' new album Kings Of The New Age, which is due out on May 13 via Pure Noise.
