about

Created over time with intricate vocal layers and a rich blend of instrumentation, Typho's latest single, "The Alchemist" blends indie folk and rap influences. The song's unique lyrics explore self-realization and transformation, loosely based on "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

lyrics

Excavating bones
In the heat of the desert sun
In a prehistoric zone
Digging up the beast that you're running from
Stumble on the road
If I fall I get up again
Add water watch it grow
With the swing of the pendulum

Will oceans rise up to the moon?
Oh alchemist those shadows loom

Blackbird tapping on my door
Says things can't stay this way
Take a walk under a storm
Revelations in a hurricane
Blinded by snow
Sometimes you can't see the ground
Cut the anchor off this boat
Let the walls all crumble down

Will oceans rise up to the moon?
Oh alchemist those shadows loom

Standing on a spinning rock
This planet's just a little dot
But these problems keep on stacking up like cinderblocks
Jotting riddles to the rhythm of a ticking clock
Time getting quicker need more seconds than a minute's got
Navigating through the middle of the winter fog
I've seen this place before move in circles like a spinning cog
You go ahead I think there's something that has been forgot
I'm tracing back these footprints to an X that marks a hidden spot

Will oceans rise up to the moon?
Oh alchemist those shadows loom

Horizon red
It took the sky fall to see above my ahead
