about

‘Tricks’ presents an experimental and elaborate composition. Starting off with a rolling, ambient-like long intro of found sounds including local crows worthy of Aphex Twin, falling into the mysterious, 808 bass-heavy Verse. Ignoring classical song structure, going straight for the bridge, felted with elaborate, howling vocal loops, harmonies and dramatic ascension erupting in groovy funkiness. It’s based on a dystopian future scenario story of heightened supervision and injustice.

lyrics

(Ey)
They’re coming for you
Hide the children, hide
We’re ready for the new dimension
We’re ready for the light

You cannot take them from us
With your ugly drones
This field is filled with energy
That keeps us all afloat

Holding onto the knife blade
We ain’t gonna drown
Just stay underground
Ooh lah no make no sound

(Oh, oh, oh!)

You may be lookin’ in the right direction
Yet our wounds are wrapped in white man’s foot
We don’t need your recollection
We’ll take what’s ours if you won’t let us go

If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go, go

If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go (oh)
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go (oh)

If you won‘t let us
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us
If you won‘t let us go (won’t let us go)
If you won‘t let us
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us
If you won‘t let us go
(Ay)

They say they are here to help (help)
I tell you listen to your gut
Don’t forget they’ll suck you dry
As your defences weaken up

Since you call yourself a witch
What does your magick do?
Do you tend to evil
That lives inside of you?

Show me a trick and yes I'll believe
Show me your strength
I will embody it ooh

Show me a trick and yes I'll believe
Show me your strength
I will embody it ooh

Show me a trick and yes I'll believe
Show me your strength
I will embody it ooh

Show me a trick and yes I'll believe
Show me your strength
I will embody it ooh

Embody it
I’ll embody it
I’ll embody it

If you won‘t let us go
You won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go
You won‘t let us go

If you won‘t let us go
You won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go
You won‘t let us go

If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go (let go)
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go (embody it) (ah)
If you won‘t let us go
If you won‘t let us go (won’t let us go)
(If you won’t, if you won’t let us)

Never gonna give up
Never gonna give up
Never gonna give up
Never gonna give up
Never gonna give up
Never gonna give up (no!)

No I’ll never stop, I’m trying
I’ll embody it
Let me embody it
