This song immediately catches you with its punchy bass-line and lively groove, reminiscent of « Human » by Rag’n’Bone man. A first Arabic-like string quartet emerges like a jingle to announce the arrival of a crystalline voice like the chant of a 3.0 mermaid. The tone is now set and the epic chorus comes in, designed to lift you up and spread your wings. Before you know it, you’re pulled into this robotic rap: this was the outlet you needed before you fly again on the last chorus.

Lyrics
"hear me now
one look back
before you go
read my lips
remember
what struck a chord a while ago
how could you
not notice
that all along your eyes were closed
it surely never crossed your mind
that there’s a different reason
why I hit you, why I scolded, why my eyes where dry
I am an unfit wing
that hits the fine glass ceiling
as we fly until
we find a game
that pain will never gratify
[there’s a glitch, here’s the switch, fever pitch, internal computer device is a witch
double double the beats, triple triple triple the beats made me turn into a beast
walking backwards up the streets
flying flags, empty bags, number tags
everyone looking at me look at ’em scumbags
dissipate, fluctuate, eradicate the fate (bait!)
let me fix your smoking gun, and I’ll give you some time to run]
in a river in an ocean
an anticipatory notion
will let me go
I’m no longer holding on to
the lotion and the sacred balm and
healing voice of life below"
