Black Sea Dahu – Ants On the Wall

Ants on the Wall is a plunge into the chambers of the mourning human soul — the messy kitchen drawer where memory, grief and surrealism jostle for space. It’s the fourth single from Black Sea Dahu’s upcoming record Everything (out February 2026), and perhaps the most luminous of the lot.

The song unfolds like a fever dream. One moment you’re in the woods, your spine becomes a pine trunk, its needles whispering like tiny gnomes in green cloaks, and nature finally lets you rest. The next, you’re back in bed staring at porcelain china — your grandmother’s blue-and-white dishes spinning in your head like advertising holograms, a hallucination triggered by insomnia. “I was convinced I was going a little mad,” Janine says. “During the heaviest waves of grief, I find comfort in this idea that nothing escapes the universe, nothing ever truly disappears. Not the people we lose, not the objects tied to them, not even the unanswered questions that keep circling in our heads. Everything remains, in some form, within us.”
