“Conscious of My Mortality” is an introspective and emotionally charged song that confronts the fear of death, spiritual confusion, and the chaos of a world driven by deception. The track blends vulnerability with social commentary, exploring how anxiety, loss, and disillusionment intertwine in the human struggle to find truth and peace.
The hook captures the central tension—an unrelenting awareness of mortality. With lines like “Can’t escape the nightmares; they keep calling me” and “I ain’t ready to die, not ready to depart,” Shalom gives voice to the universal fear of impermanence, while also expressing the longing for meaning in a confusing and broken world.
In Verse 1, she reflects on loss, existential uncertainty, and the pain of grief, referencing her mother’s plea as a haunting reminder of love and mortality. The imagery of being “buried alive with the worries of this world’s pit” powerfully conveys how emotional and spiritual burdens can feel as suffocating as death itself.
Verse 2 delves deeper into mental and societal unrest—insomnia, confusion, and distrust in institutions. Musheerah critiques the noise of modern life, where “the church, the schools, the government” each claim to hold truth but contribute instead to chaos and manipulation.
The bridge shifts toward sharp social analysis, exposing the world’s obsession with “popularity, profit, and fame.” Through poetic, almost prophetic lines, she exposes media influence, fear-based control, and the loss of authenticity in a system that thrives on confusion and distraction.
By the outro, the tone rises into defiance and awakening. The artist declares, “We’re drowning in the lies, it’s time to rise to the top,” reclaiming strength through awareness and truth-seeking. What begins as a song about fear ends as a call to consciousness—a demand for clarity, courage, and spiritual freedom.
