Trey Knowles

Trey Knowles’ “Birth Defects” explores how the enemy disrupts your path, striking at your foundation and placing obstacles meant to drain the life out of you. The song draws a powerful metaphor, showing that when people are abused, mistreated, or pushed out of their natural state of being, it causes deep emotional and psychological damage—likened to taking a wild animal from its natural habitat and forcing it into an unfamiliar, hostile environment.
