Deca is one of the most profound lyrical geniuses of our time, weaving intricate narratives that explore the depths of the human experience through an elaborate tapestry of metaphor and wordplay.

This Savej reimagination of “False Light,” aims to highlight the duality of our existence on Earth, blending deep bass and rhythm with atmospheric vibes to complement Deca’s profoundly thought-provoking lyricism.

lyrics

LYRICS:

In the false light of blind progress, the future looks bright
Take a second let your eyes readjust
Years fly by like days, feel the rush
We consume the Earth while the Earth consumes us

Quick, fill the void, fill the void, build, destroy
It started with the word kill the noise
I'm tryna find a cure for the darkness I've observed
Where a spark of life emerged from an archetypal urge

And harmonising birds sang the praisе of a new day
You gotta break a few еggs to make a soufflé
The few that knew the way through the maze aimed to loosen the chains
And lay the groundwork for a future age

See the soothsayer fugazi as a toupée sippin' Kool-aid made by the prison guards
See the dreamer on a fool's crusade in a strange land tryna bend back prison bars

The vision rose when the well was full, driven to excel and grow
Freed from a cell that was self-imposed
Placed a seed in a velvet rose, waited nine months
And watched a brainchild emerge from its hellish woes

I got a palace that my Muse holds down
That's fit for a king with a fool's gold crown
Nestled in the shadow of a basilisk with seven heads
Where mass confusion's on the rise

I need release from the chaos, the payoffs, the back-room deals, the global chessboard, the stray shots
That tear through flesh when empires face-off
And despots reduce men to biometric stage props

A smile that could heal the sickness of the world
Lights the living room like forgotten visions of a girl
Dancing in the rain, telling me the story of creation
Alpha to Omega, Genesis to Revelation

A spark of life emerged from an archetypal urge

Separating light rays from the hemlock and deadly nightshades

Find your way home
