about

This song was born out of the idea that when we use screens we are like mirrors reflecting back what we see. Off screen we can be more like crystals that refract the light into colours.

lyrics

Tell me young wonder
You’re out of your mind
Chasing the dragon
You know what you’ll find

Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise

Tell me young wonder
Why blood’s in the air
Leaving your heart
At the turn of the stair

Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise

Hollow your hands
Slow your eyes
So we can
Crystallize

Tell me young wonder
What’s floating around
How can we speak
If we don’t make a sound

Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise

Hollow your hands
Slow your eyes
So we can
Crystallize
