Goswell’s lyrics work both as intimate diary confessions and advice to be remembered and scribbled on notebooks. “I will brace myself for everything that I don’t know yet,” she cries on “Higher Hopes”. She’s multi-dimensional, not content painting herself as a victim of love. On the monstrous “Cogs”, she drives out of control and likens love to the motor of a “bigger machine.” It’s a somewhat optimistic moment, coming to the realization that heartache is out of her hands and that we’re all flawed.- Dusty Henry of Consequence of Sound
