Marino turns anxiety into a search for understanding with latest release “Rip Out Your Eyes”

Marino describes “Rip Out Your Eyes” as an exploration of anxiety and the gap between panic and explaining it. Marino writes from both sides, rather than castigating the ignorant, knowing that empathy is hard to come by before fear is personal. The song captures the frustration of finding language for an internal storm, while acknowledging how outsiders can misread what they cannot feel. “Rip Out Your Eyes” is brutally honest and emotionally intimate, turning anxiety into a conversation about kindness, empathy, and the humility that comes from finally facing something yourself. That point of view gives the song maturity and makes its openness feel shared.
