Step onto an emotional rollercoaster of abandonment issues and introspection in Lauren Presley's introspective song, "People Leave". The lyrics draw you into the speakers emotional struggles with its immediate dive into their personal struggles, saying "wish it was easy to trust". Incapable of depending on another person, the speaker's lyrics are remorseful of the way she isolates herself, allowing listeners to understand the deep internal conflict felt throughout the song. Letting people know that they are not alone in their habits of pushing people away, this heart-wrenching track is beautifully raw.
Electronic instrumentals and Lauren's hypnotic, deep vocals bring an entrancing atmosphere to this song. Dark synth chords, soft percussion, and a repeating note pattern offer an ethereal gloom to the verse that reflect the heavy nature of the lyrics. Lauren's singing through the verse is intense and grounded in the meaning of the lyrics with expressive power. Strong vocals climb higher in the pre-chorus and intensely project through the chorus, accompanied by cinematically percussive elements and haunting electric guitar instrumentals. If you're a fan of dark pop, this track is packed with impressive vocals and a captivating sound that encompasses the intensity of the genre.
