Mixed Signals in the artist’s story

TheIssa selected Mixed Signals for the 2016 chapter of Character Development. That account places music beside conflicting feelings about loyalty, relationships and ambition, with clothing and images becoming ways to shape how he was seen.

The chapter gives the song a place in that personal story. The original recording’s documented YouTube upload belongs to 2018; the 2016 chapter is a separate point in the chronology.

From the artist-supplied lyrics

[Verse 1] We is like some champions, tonight it is our anthem here Some say that we banded of, night light in the atmosphere Star shooting gift, imagine if we could fly away, pass up in that night tonight because theres sadness in those random days, don’t know you but don’t be afraid.
