Feeling restless when everything goes quiet? Dutch rapper Pjotr captures that exact sensation in his song “Tot Ik Instort” (Until I Collapse). The track follows a narrator who keeps moving, grinding and chasing goals, because the moment he slows down the voices in his head start asking uncomfortable questions. He admits he is marching along roads that may lead nowhere, sailing with doubt as his compass, yet he pushes forward with clenched fists and a smile that disguises the struggle inside.
Behind the energetic beat lies a message about battling anxiety and uncertainty by overworking. Pjotr shows how constant action can feel safer than facing inner fears, but he also slips in rays of hope: loyal friends, dreams that glow in the dark and a determination to climb higher when the world expects him to fall. “Tot Ik Instort” is a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever drowned out their thoughts with busy schedules, all while searching for a map that promises the right path.
