Divine Contraption was written in loving memory of our dear friend Marné Nicole Esson. The whole album was inspired by her life and untimely passing in March 2018.
The album itself is a proclamation of reverence that we as a band feel towards each other, the earth and the divine. It is also a strong testimony to our loved ones who have gone before us.
lyrics
Remember. Awakened by the end of life. All I forgot, remembered. Yesterday’s all burned away, tomorrow’s imagined. There’s humour in the tragedies that drive divine contraptions. Through muted atonement - a vision of forever. Separated by a moment - conjoined through the never
I never thought I’d see the day - though sooner has it come to pass, that I would understand the love that stretches time to pierce the dark
In the smallest moment a cog slips off its axis. The mechanisms grind down, putting pressure on the cracks on the course you set and laid out. The sights you saw so real - lying on your mattress. But the wheels are always turning. They turn and turn, but you don’t decide the deal (or do you?). Help you flourish and coalesce - interflow for our weary souls to fluoresce.
