about

“Truth” is an track encapsulating the album's idea of exploring the idea of realising the truth of who you are and what you stand for, and from that, of taking a position of building a moment and movement around that truth for yourself and for the people around you by sharing it. In a world of social media and pressure from all sides to conform to certain ways of being, living with courage, honesty and authenticity is more difficult than ever, and this album is a push towards that for Zenrei and for the community.”

lyrics

Lyrics:

Witness people experience
Seen others turn to belief
Provides reason and relief
At the grave that we visit
There's no headstone or wreath
Realised my truth and I'm just trying to practise what I preach
Music's part of that message, it embodies my message and helps me reach
Further and longer, trying to become wiser and stronger
I'm trying to do right for the times that I wronged her
I'm trying to do right and fight the right fight, manifest light and keep my goals in sight
Make soul shine bright, attain my height and manifest might before the final night
Positive vibrations, music for all nations
We have to awaken people to government machinations
Some of the people that say we have to break our chains are the same people that make them
I get transcendent when I'm writing music, get feelings and can't shake 'em
That's layers of abstraction
Technology's a distraction
Expressing truth in words
But I only say a small fraction
But hope it inspires reaction
Light work and broken glass constitute your soul, cause infinite refraction
Write rhymes, watch thoughts get traction
That's layers of abstraction
Technology's a distraction
But hope I inspire reaction
Write rhymes, watch thoughts get traction
Write rhymes, watch thoughts get traction
That's layers of abstraction
Write rhymes, watch thoughts get traction
Zenrei...
Blessings....
