about

“Destra (Gather Me Together)” is a melancholic yet uplifting track, armed with an epic synth melody and blissful vocals. Inspired by sorrow, Marlin Kites calls the listener to hold onto hope & not to “fall”. Accompanying the Adelaide trio’s first release from their upcoming EP is a mystical music video of wizards running from an evil spirit, shot in collaboration with local filmmaker Connor Mercury.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Some songs you sing
Make me feel loved
Bless us with nobody
We can hole up
Blow through your lips
Snuff out a soul
Stay where the picking’s good
Then we won’t fall
Chorus 1:
Gather me together
Been falling apart forever
Never meant to bring you down
Tether me together
Been falling asunder forever
Never meant to bring you down
Verse 2:
Some songs we sing
Beguile us all
The sun bears down on our skin
Before we can talk
Out on a limb
Crash on the wall
Stay where the picking’s good
Then we won’t fall
Refrain:
FallX7
Then we won’t fall
Chorus 2:
Gather me together
Been falling apart forever
Never meant to bring you down
Tether me together
Been falling asunder forever
Never meant to bring you down
Pre-outro:
Won’t you carry some weight with me?
Like atlas, I’m on my knee
Take some weight off my shoulders
Outro:
I will carry the weight with you
We’ll dance like twin flames do
to the light the soul that smoulders
I will carry the weight for you (for you)
Oh I guess now we’re two (we're two)
children getting older
