Inspired by the music of John Lennon and The Beatles, a song about living on past this life through people and music.

"Lyrically, “In The Between” occupies that devastating emotional space where love exists in limbo. The narrator finds themselves trapped in a relationship’s twilight zone—a place where the heart still believes in forever while the mind processes mounting evidence of inevitable change. Cartier’s lyrics paint a cinematic picture of love as performance art, complete with movie references that suggest both the artificial nature of certain relationships and the very real pain of being relegated to a supporting role in someone else’s story.

The recurring motif of cinema runs throughout the song, from the opening line’s movie reference to the chorus’s mention of “cut scenes” and the verse’s exploration of being treated “like an extra” while a partner “posing like a movie star.” This metaphorical framework brilliantly captures the performative aspect of relationships in decline, where authentic connection gives way to role-playing and pretense.

“In The Between” succeeds because it captures something universally human: the experience of emotional suspension, of existing in that uncomfortable space between what was and what will be. Wabi Sabi has crafted a song that acknowledges the beauty in these imperfect moments, these spaces between certainty and doubt."
