"The chorus riff was just one of those things that kept me up at night, repeating over and over until I picked up a guitar to figure it out," explains Tab Tworek of sludgy metal band Leafblower about their post-rock-inspired single "Unsatisfied".
Taken from their upcoming album Burn Cruise due out June 13, 2025 via Max Trax Records, the song is about being stuck in a cycle of repeat behavior and not finding a way out. Guitarist and lead vocalist Danny Maxwell and bassist/vocalist Craig Fort structure the lyrics as a call and response, emphasizing the song's internal conflict. Danny belts out with raw emotion: "When I try to hold out for too long / I hang on to something expired," to which Craig counters: "frozen / stuck in the cold." The back-and-forth continues, layering tension and contrast-Danny: "unsatisfied, unsatisfied," Craig: "frozen," Danny: "Thought I had it blessed in the bank / but it turns out I have a scattered mind."

Dylan Turner: Make It was a fun song to write. It allowed us to show a more playful side of the band both lyrically and musically.
