"Mess of Me" captivates it's listener with powerful lyrics, driving lead vocals, and strong music backing. The song speaks of survival after bad decisions, and is very well orchestrated, in that it tells a story of owning-up to our mistakes and wanting to move beyond those vices and weaknesses, whether it be drugs, addiction, or any other vice that holds us down.
The mix and dynamics are great throughout. Instrumentation is tight and the song's structure has smooth transitions from verse, bridge, and chorus sections. I especially enjoyed hearing the touch of distortion on the voice with the guitar at the last bridge. This songs speaks to everyone who has ever been trapped in the cages we create for ourselves when we try to substitute one problem for another problem.
