This track doesn’t just tiptoe around heartbreak; it dances with it, twirling through memories and what-ifs with the grace of a ballerina nursing a sprained ankle.

Delilah Brao’s voice floats like dandelion seeds on a breeze, carrying lyrics that cut deeper than their airy delivery suggests.

She paints vignettes of domesticity gone sour – naming fictional children for a house that was never truly home.

It’s the relationship equivalent of planning a vacation you know you’ll never take.

The instrumentation plays hide-and-seek with silence. A piano tiptoes in, strings peek around corners, and percussion whispers secrets.

This sparse arrangement leaves room for Brao’s vocals to stretch out like a cat in a sunbeam, languid and content despite the melancholy subject matter.

Not Angry Anymore isn’t an anthem of empowerment. It’s a sigh of acceptance, the musical equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and saying, “Well, that happened.”

Delilah Brao’s delivery in the verses feels like eavesdropping on someone’s internal monologue, each word a pebble dropped into a still pond of emotion.

The chorus blooms like a time-lapse flower, unfurling with cautious optimism.

Delilah Brao’s assertion that she’s “not angry anymore” doesn’t ring with triumph, but with the quiet relief of putting down a heavy bag you’ve been carrying for too long.

In the bridge, Delilah Brao’s voice gains a hint of steel. She’s picked splinters from her core—a visceral image that speaks volumes about the pain of healing.

The repetition of “I’m not angry anymore” feels less like convincing herself and more like a mantra, each iteration cementing her newfound peace.

Delilah Brao has crafted a lullaby for grownups, soothing the angry child within without dismissing the validity of that anger.

Not Angry Anymore seeps into the listener’s soul with quiet persistence.

Delilah Brao’s intimate creation carves out its own unique space, inviting deep personal reflection and resonating most powerfully in moments of solitude and self-discovery.

Delilah Brao has given us a musical moment of exhale, a gentle reminder that sometimes letting go of anger is victory enough.

Delilah Brao Not Angry Anymore Lyrics

VERSE
Gettin’ lost in it, picked a house and we named two kids 
Was it obvious? 
You’re movin’ out I was movin’ in 
Cause you know me 
Always movin’ fast 
Tried to keep the peace
Tried to keep our past
You knew I’d chase you 
So you took my keys
Just a rearview mirror memory 

PRE
Who thinks I’m bitter and blue 
Stained like a tattoo 
Blacked out what we knew 

You think I don’t care what you do
But know that I do
Just know that I do

CHORUS
But I’m not angry anymore
I peeled my heart up from the floor
It’s so easy when you’re young 
Even easy when it’s wrong 
Just meant to fall apart 
But I’m not angry anymore

Bridge:
I’m not angry anymore
I picked the splinters from my core
I won’t pretend I’m having fun 
No ones winning when it’s done 
Just watch it fall apart
But I’m not angry anymore

Outro:
I’m not angry anymore (not angry anymore)
I peeled my heart from the floor (not angry anymore)
It’s so easy when you’re young 
Even easy when it’s wrong 
Just meant to fall apart 
But I’m not angry anymore
