“‘Survivng You’ is a reflection on the ways generational trauma can repeat itself when unexamined, and the ways we learn to protect ourselves through necessity,” Frances says. “It's a personal account of receiving harm from people who have projected their own pain onto me, who refuse to see themselves or take accountability for the impact of their actions. I was reckoning with my rage, and recognizing how much I've lived in survival mode for the majority of my life. This is for anyone who grew up in a turbulent and harmful home and is learning to affirm their lived experience.”
Hannah Frances wrote Nested in Tangles throughout 2023 and 2024, almost immediately following the completion of her recent album, Keeper of the Shepherd. The album sees Frances disentangling herself from the vicious cycle of generational trauma and maladaptive patterns.
