Stephen used the game as a way to lose himself during his recovery from Lyme Disease several years ago, but even after his recovery he continued to use the game as a “compulsive escape”.

TRACER Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Tracer
Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink
See
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I fuck around in your spawn with a pair of pistols
I can do anything
Like drop a clip in your neck and recall my visit
You can’t escape from me
You shootin’ back but you miss a lot
This is too much fun, I feel like a god
I stuck your boy in the back and he disconnected
I think he’s mad at me
[Chorus]
Shine my light
It’s do or die
I know there’s more out there for me
So why did I
Fall in love?
This is not how I wanna be (Ay ay, ooh uh)
Cannot waste my life on this
Won’t waste my life on this
[Verse 2]
I’m a bad boy fuckin' with a good girlie
She gonna carry me
And watch me climb to the top know these hands are dirty
With that rosy skin
You got a Brig and your boy McCree
That’s just not enough up against a god
I can hear your whole team goin' *****
[Chorus]
Shine my light
It’s do or die
I know there’s more out there for me
So why did I
Fall in love?
This is not how I wanna be (Ay ay, ooh uh)
Cannot waste my life on this
Won’t waste my life on this

How did this song come together
I started with the drums. I laid out a bunch of samples onto my keyboard and actually performed the drum loop. Timbaland was probably my biggest influence as a producer when I was a kid. The feel of the drums was reminiscent of his bounce, so I think my instinct was to grab some softer, eastern soun...
What life events inspired the making of this song?
When I got sick with Lyme Disease in 2016, I had no energy to do anything productive. I got back into gaming for the first time in my adult life, and really fell in love with Overwatch. I played it every single day for months. It really helped. But even after I got better, I couldn’t stop playing. T...
