about

This track is a blend of conceptualized lyrics with a laid-back electronic, downtempo soundscape which conveys a note of solace to the audience, insisting them to 'Wake up from that nightmare' and not wither with time in procrastination or brooding, especially serving as a testimonial to the scenario of 2020, playing a real number on us, as a civilization.

'Drift' explores a world of hidden messages in a song, over a hook-line melody, composed in Morse Code for the word 'WASTED' (.--.-...-.-..), which is incorporated as a sonic element in the track. Lyrically, this track delves into the theory of an existential crisis as a result of having to face the fatal realities engulfing our society at the moment.

The inception point of this collaborative project with Stain began with him sharing the track idea with a sleek and catchy beat over an electronic track. Thereafter, Namrata progressively added the lyrics, melody, arrangement and the Morse coded-hook idea culminating to a scratch of the first take of 'Drift' as a track.

lyrics

Destructive
Destructive

The month of June
A summer afternoon
The clock strikes two
I'm safe in my cocoon

I'm only saying that
We love to live this way
Box full of treasure
Pleasure and pain

Unruly weather, Unruly life
Certain times were not
Worth your advice

Sleep comes
And it goes
I wake up just fine
I wake up just fine

I know it's hard to know
Where you draw the line
I know it's hard to know
Where you draw the-

So much, that you say
Gets wasted, wasted
Wasted, gets wasted in time
Wasted, wasted
You draw the line
Gets wasted in time

We're drifting and wasting
Drifting and wasting
Wasting, wasting
And wasting our time
We're drifting and wasting
Drifting and wasting
Wasting, wasting
And wasting our time

I know it's hard to know
Where you draw the line
I know it's hard to know
Where you draw the line

So much, that you say
Gets wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted in time
Wasted, wasted
You draw the line
Gets wasted in time

We're drifting and wasting
Drifting and wasting
Wasting and wasting
And wasting our time
We're drifting and wasting
Drifting and wasting
Wasting and wasting
And wasting our time
