Twisted Words is a dark alternative-rock track about manipulation, gaslighting and the moment you begin to recognise that someone else's version of events has slowly replaced your own.
A song about gaslighting, manipulation and words turned against you.

About the song
When someone's words make you question your own
Gaslighting rarely starts with one enormous lie. It can be the repeated denial, the changed version of a conversation, the blame turned back on you, or being told that what you remember never happened.
Twisted Words explores that confusion: when somebody can tell three versions of the same truth and somehow each one leaves you questioning yourself.
It is about emotional manipulation, toxic relationship dynamics and finally recognising the pattern behind the words.
For anyone who has ever thought "Did I imagine that?", "Maybe I remembered it wrong" or "Why am I always the one apologising?", this song comes from that space.
But it isn't about staying there.
It is about beginning to trust your own voice again.
The themes
A song about gaslighting and emotional manipulation
Music has always given people a way to put difficult experiences into words.
Twisted Words sits in that space for listeners searching for songs about gaslighting, narcissistic behaviour, emotional manipulation, toxic relationships and psychological control.
Rather than describing one dramatic moment, the song focuses on something quieter: words being rearranged, truth being changed and a person gradually being made to doubt their own perception.
If you have experienced somebody rewriting conversations, denying things they previously said, shifting blame or making you question what you know happened, the themes behind Twisted Words may feel familiar.
“Three versions of the truth.
And somehow, all theirs.”
