Transcendental, Nectar-Filled Sweetness

The album transforms beyond the body. It is self-reflective, questions identity, image, and purpose.

“God Turn Me Into a Flower” plays with the myth of Narcissus, and, at 3:04, the lyrics fade into instrumentals. For the next three minutes, there is only the glistening sound of synthesizers, stringed instruments, and a humming that is eventually layered with open vocals, chimes, and the sound of birds. It is a slow transformation that represents the becoming of a flower. 

Your perception of change is not defined by time, but rather by feeling. It is a transcendent, nectar-filled state of being. The way the sounds move back and forth makes it feel as though they’re rippling like when you look at your reflection in a body of water and the wind is moving through it. The image is always changing, shifting, and moving with the elements, as are we.
