about

'Shangri La' is about the idea that whether or not we know it, the different paths we all create through trial and error eventually prepare us for the era of "shangri la" in our lives, which refers to paradise/utopia/perfection of life. There are no easy paths in order to reach this place of peace, and it's all too easy to forget that you are supposed to take the good with the bad. That if it was all an easy road, there would be no commendable growth from adversity. True character is tested when things don't go your way.

lyrics

When we fail to mention our discontention
We start building concrete walls
Out of discretion for the fall
We're all going to take at points in time
Time time time, life life life...

Relief is a must
Should the colorful turn to dust
It's not difficult to clasp
I want what I don't have
It takes forever to find Shangri La

The sea breeze tends to tame me
I brave the risk of parting ways
With open eyes and intention
And this transfixed is an invitation
