Remedies’ new single “Trapped” is set for release on September 4th and is the first single to be released ahead of the band’s upcoming album which is due in 2021. The lyrics depict a topical theme revolving around mental health and all that it entails. The repetitive metaphor “Trapped in a bubble made of glass” portrays the hopeless feeling of being trapped in a destructive thought pattern, and the narrator vocal describes how this is experienced for those on the outside of the bubble. But as we all know, glass is fragile, and it tends to shatter.
