tmdistant unleashes new single “sink my head into the sand”
Essex-based alternative artist tmdistant is on a relentless streak, and his latest release “sink my head into the sand” only cements his momentum. Marking his third single of the year, the track dives into the pain of being used and the identity crisis it leaves behind. Haunting lyrics like ‘mirrors hate me’ and ‘my flesh is so rare’ paint a visceral picture of betrayal and self-doubt, making this a cathartic anthem for anyone who’s ever felt lost or broken.
Sonically, the track, produced by Matt Thorne, fuses the raw intensity of Deftones with the emotional depth of Linkin Park, reinforcing tmdistant’s place as one of the most compelling new voices in alternative rock.
“I wrote this song to express the emotional weight of being used and how it warps your sense of self. The line ‘I know I’m just a tool’ reflects that painful realisation, like being stabbed in the back and left questioning who you are. ‘My flesh is so rare’ symbolises the scars left behind—so deep that even my own reflection rejects me. This song was born from a moment of looking in the mirror and not recognising myself after an incredibly painful experience. I think it captures that feeling perfectly.” — tmdistant.
