All My Metaphors began as a self-reflection on my own songwriting, Shiloh says. I knew I had centered metaphors for years as a tool to write songs that are personal, yet universal. But one day when I stepped back, I began noticing the theme of the ocean and storms, so I jotted down the words ‘all my metaphors keep coming back to oceans and thunderstorms’. The rest of the songs were written soon after, in the literal dark of my bedroom.
