lyrics

To whom it may concern.
Welcome to our home, my friend.
A long, long walk from here to there that I'm willing to take.
But if you don't mind,
I'd rather cut the wait,
and heal thy soul, inside my own, away from fear.

Sister, you take away that veil.
And then open your eyes and shout, and just let them light the way.
Just let me reach for your arms and touch the sky.
And then just close your eyes and let the tears just shine away,
and light away your darkest days.

To whom it may concern,
I'm sorry for the wait.
I wanted to be here.
To take your fears away.
But if you don't mind,
I'd rather cut to the chase,
Just open your arms and let yourself rest in my chest.

Brother, you take away that thrill.
And then open your mouth and shout, and just let the sound away.
Just let me reach for your hands and touch the ground.
And then just close your eyes and let the tears just shine away,
and light away your darkest days.

To whom it may concern.
I'll show you innermost weakness,
But that's a risk that I'm completely willing to take.
But if you don't mind,
please don't beg forgiveness
for all those masks that you had to fake, so I see you…

EDIT (2019/09/29):
I've been feeling the weight of being too vague about who inspired the sound of this EP for two years. I wanted to leave behind the kinda lifestyle that inspired this release, and so I didn't name anyone originally. And yet, here I am, three years later, fixing at least one mistake. Knowing now that one of the DJs who influenced this record was brutally killed back in 2017, and fearing that these things might be forgotten in time, I wanna speak now so I don't feel like I didn't act according to what I truly know in my heart.

I feel it's only fair to credit Anna Cook for not only inspiring the song "Three" but also playing one of the best DJ sets I ever saw in my life. Even with us only really knowing each other from social media, and only chatting a few times in real life, I won't ever forget the last night I saw her play. She was incredibly talented, her execution and energy was beautiful to see, and I sincerely hope she is not remembered as a mere victim of violence, but also as one of the best techno DJs we had the honor to dance to/with in the Chilean dance music scene. I wish I had been able to tell her this, but I was too shy back then so I never dared; this is one of the regrets I carry with me. And so, as a way of bringing forth a small bit of justice to this world, I'd like to dedicate "Three" to her, and in a way, to all of us dancers, who love electronic music and wish to find a home within it.
