“COCO”
Original poem that inspired the lyrics to our newest track
Burning
Blazing in a fire
Blazing in the fire of what we might call love
Burning up
Emptied in the fire of
Empty to the the self we might have called our ow
Rolling in
Such peculiar fashion
Cue Divine Passion
Suddenly in motion
Oh filling me up
From the bottom to the top
All the channels hit that spot
Finally we’re here
Drawing
All the slivered fragments home
All the facets yet unknown
Quietly it happens
Calling all
Pieces you’ve surrendered up
Puzzles that you’d given up
Now you claim your own
Lesser gods
Fall away
On their knees before this mighty, mighty, mighty
Thing that won't be named
Thing that can't be tamed
Ever to remain
Listen to "Coco"
THE TOWER & THE STAR
TAROT CARDS
In the Tarot, the Tower and the Star are known as Major Arcana cards and hold profound signifigance in a reading. These cards require the querent to pay close attention to their meanings as they represent major life issues.
The Tower, number 16, represents chaos & destruction or breakdowns which lead to breakthroughs. The lightening striking the crown in the image is indicative of a flash of inspiration that spark great insight or revelation. Sometimes this card is interpreted as the death of the ego or perceived core personality.
Following this chaos is card number 17, The Star, which represents a renewed sense of optimism & hope that comes after difficulty, trauma or sudden disruptive life changes. It is endless divine guidance & intuition- both from a divine source "above" and from the well of our emotions "below". Sometimes this card is interpreted as destiny.
We embody and explore these concepts in our music- the sublime and sometimes awkward or painful transformation from chaos, confusion & turmoil to hope, clarity & Divine revelations.
