The standalone single serves to tide fans over until their debut full-length, which
is due out in 2022.

Nik Pang of Chief State says, _“Metaphors is about being in a really dark place,
but not knowing how to communicate that to your loved ones. Instead of saying what
you mean, and exactly how you feel, it’s easy to gloss over it and be super generic
and vague.”_

This is the first new music from the band since the release of the band’s 2020 breakthrough‘
Tough Love”, which resonated with media and lovers of the genre alike.
