about

"'Seven Wonders’ explores the abstraction and confusion of our ever-changing reality. Polish philosopher, Zygmunt Bauman, describes these times as "liquid modernity" – a point where things are changing and evolving so fast that we can't even find a frame of reference to put ourselves in.

What happens when your way of understanding yourself is constantly in flux? What happens when ideas that used to support you now strangle
you? What happens when nothing feels trustworthy or even knowable?
 
“Seven Wonders” explores this loss of certainty, the space it creates, and the hope for an answer when the dust settles. The sounds and production choices on this song and the upcoming project are lush, fantastical, and ethereal – hoping to expand the small and mundane to an infinite, cosmic size so we can look at complex, vague questions as loudly and colorfully as possible.

lyrics

Seven wonders
Sleeping in the sands
Ancient lovers
Reaching out their hands

Vision without 
With or without you
There is no sky
Starting to doubt you
Starting doubt you’re on my side

Everything we know
Melts away, there is 
Nothing left but a
Face without a frame

Everything we know
Melts away, there's a
Door beneath the fire
A sword to break

Tower of learning
Breaking through the sun
Missing altars
Calling everyone

I’m nothing without you
With or without you
There is no end
Started to see through 
Started to see the circle
Turn again and again

Everything we know
Melts away, there is 
Nothing left but a
Face without a frame

Everything we know
Melts away, there's a
Door beneath the fire
A sword to break

Everything we know
Melts away, there is 
Nothing left but a
Face without a frame

Everything we know
Melts away, there's a
Door beneath the fire
A sword to break

Everything we know
Melts away, there is 
Nothing left but a
Face without a frame

Everything we know
Melts away, there's a
Door beneath the fire
A sword to break
