lyrics

I listen to the sound of thrashing water
I hope I’m not far down
I gaze up to sun rays, prismatic
A threshold I’m not in
Big waves
soak up and choke and toss me ‘round
Pass by
I stroke up, I’m lashing out for light

Vague sounds against the imagery now, there’s now complicity down here
Round and round
Spin round it’s not a mystery now, I’ve found simplicity down here
Round and round
Held down without the sympathy now, I’m getting flipped round and round
Round and round

I slip into kaleidoscopic visions, find myself indifferent
To what is the crushing solution, volition signs grow dim
Big waves
soak up and choke and toss me ‘round
Pass by
I stroke up, I’m lashing out for light
This is overarching now the pulses slow down
In this undulating space I am alone now, alive
I’m suspended in this place, alive

Vague sounds against the imagery now, there’s now complicity down here
Round and round
Spin round it’s not a mystery now, I’ve found simplicity down here
I see now

There’s no complicity now
There is no sympathy now
I’ve found simplicity down here
Drowned, drowned

This is the sound that I hear in my head and search for.. I loved this whole album. Bright synthesizers, smooth synthesizers, chiptune synths, and Buddhist bells 🔔 Desert Island Rain started to feel like an old Jean Michel Jarre song at one point. I really can’t pick a favorite yet, there all so good! I look forward to listening to all the music Sevish creates. 100% recommended! Dionysus Virus
