Haneri explains the essence of Thin Line by saying: “The song was written to express how I’d feel being in that situation, and I hope if anyone can relate, they know they aren’t alone in their circumstance.”
Thin line
And I’m just trying not to fall
And who knows
Maybe this is nothing at all
But how can i be so comfortable with somebody else’s someone
Is bad timing all it ever was
Do you see this line at all
Haneri‘s vocals take center stage in Thin Line, delivering pop-infused melodies that resonate on an emotional level. The song’s theme revolves around the poignant concept of meeting a soulmate who remains out of reach due to circumstances beyond one’s control. Thin Line serves as a bittersweet reminder that while circumstances may be challenging, one is never truly alone.
