The Talking Palm Tree

This was the first ever track I fully self-produced that didn't sound like a basicbish beat. It was also the first music I made after completely abandoning & deleting my old artist project. Something awakened, literally over night. The Talking Palm Tree was essentially the official doula for the birth of ALYSS and the first offering from my upcoming Answers EP (track 1/5).

At the time of writing the lyrics, I was learning about the Lilith archetype in both astrological and mythological terms. Symbolically, Lilith represents everything natural, raw and untouched. She is the place of total freedom within each of us. The place we are unashamedly who we are without limitation, self-judgement or fear of what the world thinks. Energetically, she is the unconfined wild side we've locked away and after having caged myself creatively for so long, discovering her felt like a huge kick up the ass to all the blocks Id built up inside.

The same way she initiated a dormant voice within me through 'The Talking Palm Tree, it only felt right that she lay the ground for my genesis footstep into the terrain of web3. May this song activate a core essence within you. We see you <3 


Lyrics

That's the first connection
You should treat all things as spirit
That's the first connection

Never seen a place
Never been like this one here
Crystals fallin' down
Kinda like on Jupiter
Mirrors everywhere
Reflecting back all of our fears
And there's faces not like ours
Swear we've landed in Utopia

Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like

Picked an apple from the tree of life
Hope no one saw
Yeah, we tried to push the boundaries
They all clapped their hands and cheered us on

Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
And we are so high, so high, so high
Talkin' 'bout this freedom
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like

That's the first connection
You should treat all things as spirit
