Los Angeles harmonic trio Trousdale shares ‘Secondhand Smoke’, the last look into their upcoming album Growing Pains, out 11 April via Independent Co.
‘Secondhand Smoke’ is a heavy track about finding the strength to break free from an abusive relationship. Quinn D’Andrea shares the following about ‘Secondhand Smoke’:
“‘Secondhand Smoke’ is a song that dives into the emotional weight of being in an abusive relationship and the devastating push-and-pull it creates. For us, this song is about loving someone who is battling their own destructive traits—traits that are slowly harming not just them, but also you.
The metaphor of secondhand smoke reflects how their pain and actions seep into your life, leaving you as collateral damage. It’s a song about wrestling with the impossible decision to leave someone you love in order to save yourself, even though it feels like abandonment. Ultimately, it’s about facing the hard truth that you can’t save someone who won’t save themselves—and the courage it takes to walk away from the fire before it consumes you both.”
