While the high from the love is unmatchable, Odu makes it  clear that she doesn’t know what her love interest is thinking and that in itself is causing a shift in her stable mindset.

Love is tough,even tougher when you can’t understand the one you love. Odu’s writing skillfully captures this theme and expresses herself soulfully on the repetitive beat.

While the witty choice of a repeat phrase adds a playful and familiar touch, the structure of the verse flow and planes still contribute to the deeper meaning behind the lyrics by emphasizing certain lines and their importance to the picture being created.

The final stroke of the paintbrush that wraps us the canvas of Sanity, leaves us with the longing line of “ you make me kolo” encouraging cherished listeners to reminisce the entire picture she has painted and the story of despair she has colorfully told while soft drums, slowly, ebb the buildup till the last second of nothingness.

Sanity is a beautifully made track filled with heartfelt  emotional turmoil and the hurt that comes with navigating the way out of it through coming to terms with the truth.
