“Crossing Waters is about making the decision to let go of what is hindering us and taking a leap of faith. It is a dance between the Wurlitzer sound and uplifting, electronic rhythms : a rite of passage. It's a beautiful ode to the strength it takes to believe in our potential.“
«Crossing Waters nous invite à laisser aller ce qui ne nous sert plus et à prendre le risque de se lancer. C’est une danse entre les sonorités du Wurlitzer et les rythmes électroniques vivifiants : un rite de passage. C’est une ode à la force nécessaire pour croire en notre potentiel.»
lyrics
Crossing Waters
We’re risking the open ocean
Steering a ship in motion
I get lost in the expectations
Maintaining pressure every waking hour
Blending unusual colors
We’re cutting the air like feathers
But all I seem to remember
Is how we doubted each other, saw the worst in the other
But I won’t pretend I’m always there
I won’t believe I’m better than
My modesty always tends
It tends to be so arrogant
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m stepping up my game, I’m stepping up my game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m definitely game, I’m definitely game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m stepping up my game, I’m stepping up my game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m definitely game
Softly as in a morning sunrise
Meet me halfway where my hope lies
So I can finally believe what my eyes see
A few second chances, a new fabric stretches
We grow, we grow
We burned our defenses, we’re learning a new language
We flow, we flow
But I won’t pretend I’m never there
I won’t believe I’m lesser than
My modesty always tends
It tends to be so arrogant
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m stepping up my game, I’m stepping up my game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m definitely game, I’m definitely game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m stepping up my game, I’m stepping up my game
Call me on my bullshit, call me by my name
I’m definitely game
