Over the past few months, singer-songwriter Soha Narayanam found herself overwhelmed — fatigued by endless choices, and living more in the future than the present. Realising she was not alone in feeling this way, she channelled it into her new single, ‘Chaos’ , a theme-driven exploration of mental stillness in an overwhelming, fast-paced world.
The song captures the anxiety of modern life with striking simplicity.
The Inspiration Behind ‘Chaos’
| Inspiration | Decision fatigue, digital overwhelm, living in the future |
| Core Emotion | Overthinking and mental chaos |
| Ultimate Goal | Finding mental stillness |
“Look at the world right now,” says Soha. “It’s quite chaotic, and there aren’t really any answers.”
Lines like “Ten tabs open, they’re all in the future” reflect that headspace — the feeling of being pulled in multiple directions, always planning ahead but never present.
From Overwhelm to Stillness
The song ultimately helped Soha stop chasing clarity and simply sit with where she was. Rather than offering answers, ‘Chaos’ validates the experience of being overwhelmed and encourages listeners to embrace the moment without needing to fix it.
A Relatable Anthem for Modern Times
In an era of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and pressure to optimize every moment, ‘Chaos’ speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt paralyzed by too many choices or trapped in their own thoughts.
