"Zebra" by ADOY follows a dreamer caught between stalled days and the pull of something almost within reach. Lockdown and paranoia keep growing, yet the longing for a brand new house in the sky asks for reassurance that everything is alright. The oscillation between isolation and mountaintop dreaming turns waiting into a style, while hazy elemental images and a stowed-away star suggest hope kept close. The repeated knock on the door becomes a quiet plea for that imagined future to finally open.
Zebra Lyrics by ADOY
One day, two days
I want to live up to
I’m almost there, yeah
Dog days, lockdown
The speedway, yeah that’s way in front
Deja vu
I’m just someone at the station
On the base of oscillation
But I’m another dreamer just like you
I’m in a state of isolation
On the top of every mountain
It’s on and on and on and on my style
So take me to my brand new house
Up the sky and show me
that it’s alright, it’s alright
Take me to my brand new house
On my mind and show me
that it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s hazy area
It’s elemental
Atlantic not afar
I stow away the star
It’s hazy area
It’s elemental
We know it’s meant to be
Knock the door
Xs and Os
Notion to me brand new
A hole in my head
Paranoia
It’s aging, yeah, gaining in size
Black and blue
I’m just someone at the station
On the base of oscillation
But I’m another dreamer just like you
I’m in a state of isolation
On the top of every mountain
It’s on and on and on and on my style
So take me to my brand new house
Up the sky and show me
that it’s alright, it’s alright
Take me to my brand new house
On my mind and show me
that it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s hazy area
It’s elemental
Atlantic not afar
I stow away the star
It’s hazy area
It’s elemental
We know it’s meant to be
Knock the door
Knock the door
Knock the door
Knock the door
