Particle Lyrics

I only wanted a haven in your harbor
I only wanted a part of you
But you had to walk in, take all of my possessions
Any day, any day, drifting farther and farther away, hey

I'm only a particle, a drop in you, forever dissolving
Look at us revolving in a glass, intact and trapped
And you can keep it all at bay, always an arm's length away
But one of us is changing
Read between the lines, don't ask me to repeat it
What's that?
You're breaking up

I only wanted some kind of consolation
Now I'm going somewhere out of view
'Cause it's just too much, too much light in the sky
An expired constellation way up there
Are you there drifting farther and farther away?
Farther away, farther away, farther away, farther away...
Scared of letting go, stay the same route
Someone tell me where to go if I get locked out

I'm only a particle, a drop in you, forever dissolving
Look at us revolving in a glass, intact and trapped
And you can keep it all at bay, always an arm's length away
But what are we exchanging?
Read between the lines, don't ask me to repeat it
What's that?
You're breaking up

I only wanted someone to rely on
I only wanted a point of view
Now it's just too much, too much light in the sky
An expired constellation way up there
Are you there drifting farther and farther away?
I can't hear you now, I can't hear you now (how should I know?)
Scared of letting go, stay the same route
Someone tell me where to go if I, if I get locked out

Don't ask me to repeat it
What's that?
Are we breaking up?

Hundred Waters is the Los Angeles and Gainesville, United States quartet of Nicole Miglis, Trayer Tryon, Paul Giese and Zach Tetreault. They played together in various formations as far back as middle school, but it took until adulthood and 2012 to become Hundred Waters. Living under one roof meant the band had a communal mentality, yet each maintained their own distinct projects, borrowing here and there from each other. It was in interpreting a friend (Levek)'s music together that they discovered the power of their combination, and they quickly fell to work reorienting their lives around an album. The music they found was a beautiful blend of contradictions, mournful yet colorful, introverted yet aware, and it brought the tradition of songwriting to a strange future. Initially released by their local label Elestial Sound, their self-titled debut soon became seen as the sound of Florida, drawing loose comparisons to Stereolab, Four Tet, and Bjork. Soon it attracted the most unlikely of label bosses, Skrillex, who signed the band to his OWSLA label that same year and gave the album a full-scale release, with remixes by AraabMuzik, Star Slinger, and TokiMonsta. Since then the band has taken its live show around the world, touring with artists such as Grimes, Julia Holter, Alt-J & the XX. In 2014, they put out their sophomore release, The Moon Rang Like A Bell.
