about

A lush instrumental eases us into Banta & Snory’s second collaborative single “RIPPLES”. The song teases apart the complex mix of emotions that comes with spending time around those you look up to - From finding inspiration and motivation in their company, to gaining a deeper awareness of one's own inadequacies, 'Ripples' follows a protagonist as he strives to be 'better'. The song finishes on an optimistic note, with a triumphant brass section providing a much needed release from the track's contemplative tension.

lyrics

VERSE 1

There’s oceans in those eyes
Now pull me under
Beneath the noise of everything think I am

Colours stick to you
Like no one else I ever knew
Take me with you
(Take me with you)

Sometimes I get lost between the lines
Don’t know the way from where I am to where I ought to be
Show me how to be like you, ‘cos I’m not sure ‘bout me
Take me with you (mmm)


PRE-CHORUS

How do I focus on the ripples
Not reflections that they throw
Against the wall (mmm)
How do I focus on the ripples
Not reflections that they throw
I need to know
I need to know-oh-oh


CHORUS

Why do our shadows grow larger behind us
The closer we get to the light?
And we can do better (better, better)
Why do we dine with our demons
And take them back home for the night?
And we can do better (better, better, better, better)


VERSE 2

There’s power in your voice
Now lift me higher (Lift me higher)
Above the vestiges of who I used to be (Who I used to be)

Words have weight,
But yours have something else that makes me feel
So take me with you (Take me with you)
Take me with you (Take me with you)


PRE-CHORUS

How do I focus on the ripples
Not reflections that they throw
Against the wall (Against the wall) (Against the wall)
How do I focus on the ripples
Not reflections that they throw I need to know (I need to know) I need to know (ooh)


CHORUS

Why do our shadows grow larger behind us
The closer we get to the light?
And we can do better (better, better)
Why do we dine with our demons
And take them back home for the night?
And we can do better (better, better, better, better)
