about

The songs themes explore complex relationships, conflicting emotions and fear of commitment. Upbeat layers of warm punchy indietronica are counteracted by the melancholy subject matter and soulful delivery of the vocals. The song asks is it better to deceive oneself in order to not face evolving? The lyrics talk about the trials and tribulations that are faced in relationships and what it is like to find out your lover is leading a double life. Does this person you devote yourself to just want to have fun and play mind games with you? Or can you find clarity and truth in order to progress the relationship on to a higher level?

lyrics

What’s with games you’re playing at us
What’s foolish words you say

(Wol o wol)
I see a thousand faces
I can see through smoke and mirrors
What’s with games you’re playing at us

Different stories come along
We are the ones who see
Let us find our glory
We are the one who

We are the one who
We are the one who
We are the one who

What’s with games you’re playing at us
What’s hurtful words you say
What’s with things you’re saying stranger
What’s foolish words you say

(Wol o wol)
I can be a thousand things you want
(Oh wo oh) And we can be like you see
(Oh wo oh) I move into a lake
See through crystal balls
Feel there’s no mistake
Round and round we go
It’s all a big mistake
Deceiving ourselves
Can we make the call
Bring to life our truth

(Wol o wol) you and I can be

What’s with games you’re playing at us
What’s foolish things you say
You’re the one confusing things
You’re the one who’s choosing things
You’re the one who paths we are now
Follow innocently
