Director's Statement
Lose it too is about the uncontrollable craving of one’s love from their lover. The tender vulnerability and destructive desire intertwine through the story of two young adults who exist in the twilight of New York City. The complicated nature of this relationship unfolds each night when they meet in the early hours before dawn to immerse in the silent metropolis. Keeping afloat on the turbulent waves of life, the two meet in the early hours before dawn to immerse in the silent metropolis. Sweeping past the empty streets, buildings and the open 24 hours signs of each menial store, the two collect intimate memories from each other. Until one night, N realises that O has no mutual feelings for her.
N tries to reenact her fantasies and dreams by taking O to the most special place: the rocks by the sea. Yearning for affection and desire, N holds O so close they both suffocate on each others lips before O pushes back. The waves lap. O holds N close as N drains her soul in to tears trickling down her face. O walks N back to her home home just as the sun starts to creep in. The two say good bye. N walks up and washes her face in the bathroom. O stands outside watching the sun creep over the horizon. N walks to her bed. O turns around to look up at N’s apartment. N lies down slowly in bed, falling into her tender state. O stands in front of N’s door about to buzz in. The waves lap.

“The two girls initially share a closeness and mutual admiration, but when one realizes she may want something more, she grapples with deciding whether to follow her gut instincts or to preserve their friendship.” - Nakaya

Lyrics
VERSE I
I want you.
I need you.
It's been a long day.
Just know, I've
Been watching
From deep ends in space.
Don't try to remove me,
I'm stitched in your veins.
The fire is starting, you'd best run away;
The fire is burning, you'd best slip away.
CHORUS
Oh it's you, and it's you,
and it's you. It's you.
And I lose, and I lose,
and I lose it too.
VERSE 2
I've settled my demons,
In silence they stay.
But tell me
Just how will you escape my brain.
Remind me of stars that still light up your face.
There's something exciting that keeps me awake.
There's something exciting that begs me to stay.
REPEAT CHORUS
