A sense of haunting desolation permeates Caleb Hearn’s latest single, Klonopin’, a brutally candid exploration of mental health struggles and dependency.
From the opening lines, the listener is enveloped in a suffocating miasma of anxiety and despair as Caleb Hearn lays bare the internal turmoil that has besieged his psyche.
“I pull to the side of the highway / I can’t feel my hands on the wheel / I don’t know if I’m dying / But I think that this must be how it feels,” he confesses, his vocals dripping with raw vulnerability.
Sonically, Klonopin’ is a masterclass in auditory dissonance. Gentle guitar refrains and pillowy piano keys provide a deceptively serene backdrop, betrayed by undercurrents of electronic disquiet that mirror the artist’s inner pandemonium.
This juxtaposition encapsulates the dichotomy of Caleb Hearn’s struggle: a serene facade masking a mind riven by anxiety’s merciless talons.
Lyrically, the track is a searing indictment of dependency’s cyclical curse.
Caleb Hearn’s words are visceral, unflinching in their portrayal of a psyche teetering on the precipice of oblivion.
“It’s deep in my heart like a poison / It’s breaking me down to the bone,” he laments, evoking imagery that chills the spine.
Yet, amid this desolation, glimmers of hope flicker as Hearn grasps for respite in the very substance that ensnares him: “I need you like / I need you like water / A man in the desert I / Need you like / A child needs a father.”
Collaborators Charlie Oriain, Colin Foote, and Alex Borel deserve commendation for their contributions, weaving a sonic tapestry that complements Hearn’s confessional lyricism.
Ultimately, Klonopin’ is a harrowing odyssey, a reckoning with the demons that haunt the recesses of Caleb Hearn’s soul.
It’s a brave, honest, and remarkably vulnerable offering that resonates with anyone who has grappled with mental health’s insidious grip.
Through this searing musical vignette, Caleb Hearn has crafted a cathartic call for those lost in the abyss.

Caleb Hearn Klonopin Lyrics
I pull to the side of the highway
I can’t feel my hands on the wheel
I don’t know if I’m dying
But I think that this must be how it feels
It’s deep in my heart like a poison
It’s breaking me down to the bone
I don’t know if I’m makin’ it worse
But I, I just can’t be alone
And you
Numb the pain
‘Cause I
Just wanna feel okay
I need you like
I need you like water
A man in the desert I
Need you like
A child needs a father
You hold me together like
A stitch in my skin
It’s almost a fix ‘til I bleed again
It must be a sin
You’re pulling me into your arms again
I’ve never felt so much of nothing
I guess that’s the price that you pay
God I miss feeling more than a heartbeat, but
You take all that away
And you
Numb the pain
‘Cause I
Just wanna feel okay
I need you like
I need you like water
A man in the desert I
Need you like
A child needs a father
You hold me together like
A stitch in my skin
It’s almost a fix ‘til I bleed again
It must be a sin
You’re pulling me into your arms again
When will it end
When will it end
It never ends
Klonopin
When will it end
When will it end
Save me again
Make it end
When will it end
When will it end
It never ends
Klonopin
When will it end
When will it end
Save me again
Make it end
Need you like
Need you like water
