In Their Words: “This song is all about boundaries. From the boundaries we impose on ourselves, to the ones that are forced upon us. The ‘Narrow Line’ is, in a sense, the line we walk in order to keep from falling over the edge and losing sanity through such chaotic and fearful times. The verses touch on violence against immigrants, wealth disparity, rape culture throughout history, climate destruction and trauma. The animator for the video is Arash Akhgari. It was during the Covid lockdowns in Montreal that we reached out to him. In a time where strict social distancing was enforced, animation for a music video seemed like the perfect choice. It was amazing getting to work with Arash. We communicated back and forth about the visuals we already had in mind, and to see it come to light was truly special. You can find more of his animation here.” — Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, Mama’s Broke
