The Oh Hellos - Zephyrus (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
what do you find within the lines of
distant suns
and their systems
where I come up empty?
what have those painted songs of heroes
or the moon
herculean
pulling a half of me?
are we not threaded by the same weave
of the wind
terra firma
and unparted sea?
whether by accident or fortune
you and I
we are matter
and it matters
I want to spin something out of nothing
lead to gold
spring from winter
story from moted sky
I wanna help mother up an orchard
from a seed
up through sapling
daughter phoenix, rise
the way they encourage one another
to push high
touch the sunlight
against their tender leaves
they’ll be full grown before you know it
and as I breathe
so does she
we are breathing
so let me melt down like mountain glaciers
break the bonds
I’ve been holding onto
let ‘em soften me
‘til every part that I am made of
waters deep
to the roots
of something greener

[@waveii8615]

the oh hellos’ lyrics hit me in the most intense, emotional way every single time and it _hurts_
“they’ll be full grown before you know it
and as I breathe
so does she
we are breathing”

"Are we not threaded by the same weave,
of the wind?
Terra Firma?
and unparted sea?"
this paints such a beautiful picture in my brain

[@herosparkyferrum]

“whether it’s by accident or fortune
you and I
we are matter
and it matters.”
these lines always give me goosebumps. so comforting

[@flimsywizard5577]

Oh this reminds me of the myth of Apollo, Hyacinth and Zephyrus

Happy very late birthday

@@kaayya.k bahaha thank you

[@AquarianZenaida]

this is a beautiful song. ♥
i usually despise these types of comments, even if i'm a part of the fandom they come from or agree that it reminds me of a character from that media. but since nobody else has commented it, doesn't this song remind any MCYT/DSMP fans of c!Philza? Especially since his codename in the Syndicate is Zephyrus.
"I want to spin something out of nothing" - Philza is known to be one of the best builders on the server alongside Foolish, Sam, and Eret.
"I wanna help mother up an orchard from a seed, up through sapling; daughter phoenix, rise." & "They’ll be full grown before you know it" - Philza is basically the dad of half (or more) of the server at this point, and him being Will's biological father and dealing with the effects of that is a major plot point in his story.
idk, i just thought i'd go on a tangent here lol

This is very late, but yes it does! I think the lyrics of this song also correlate to how c!Phil wants to see his friends, the Syndicate, and himself grow and become better. The Oh Hellos' are so talented and their music is just so beautiful - I love how it can relate to so many different things, even the DSMP (which I absolutely love!)

This is a wonderful lyric video, but unfortunately, you seem to have gotten one of the words wrong!
You have written: "What HAVE those painted songs of heroes"
When it should be: "What OF those painted songs of heroes"
That's how it's written on the site Genius Lyrics.
