about

"Crown of Thorns" is an enthralling downtempo trip-hop track with a captivating blend of drums and bass. Lead singer and lyricist Cate DeBu describes it as an exploration of boundaries and their fluid nature.

At its core, "Crown of Thorns" delves into the concept of boundaries—those elusive lines that define personal space and individuality. DeBu's lyrical talent shines as she weaves a narrative that vividly portrays the dynamics of establishing and maintaining these boundaries.

A standout element of the track is the carefully crafted bassline, created by DeBu herself. It adds a playful touch with its rhythmic exchange between two distinct notes, mirroring the lyrical theme. The bassline's duality, much like the complexities of boundaries, hints at the idea of not being beholden to anyone or anything.

lyrics

What is it that is exciting I can’t tell you, what do I owe?
È bene avere segreti nella vita
I see how much you’d like to know
But secrets are a part of life’s show
È bene avere segreti nella vita

I will wear a crown of thorns upon my silent head
Save it from the quiet space, where it wasn’t said
Leaving everything to your creative busy mind
Where somethings not said it can leave us feeling blind

What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is yours - that’s just how it goes
When our truths realise, that’s when we all owe
I can see how they’d like to know
But secrets are a part of my show
Whats mine is mine, and what’s yours is yours, that’s just how it goes.

I will wear a crown of thorns upon my silent head
Save it from the quiet space, where it wasn’t said
Leaving everything to your creative busy mind
Where somethings not said it can leave us feeling blind

Leave me to my own devices.
Leave me to my own devices.
