about

ABOUT THE SONG:
Whisper Games is a song about valuing authenticity. All too often we tend to compare ourselves to others in a negative light whilst not realising most of what we see is disconnected from reality - the "highlights reel" of social media is an impossible standard.
This song was written about valuing what is real, the good, the bad and everything in between - because, at the end of the day, what will be remembered is the things that make you who you are, not the things you pretend to be.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Watch me playing hangman in the backyard with the safety net
Northbound tale at the scene with passive kicks you won't regret
And I know, I won't be dancing on my own
Take me back to the places I know.

Show it off, watch the posers line up,
Play it out like there's no days you stray away,
Every place like holidays.
Never stops wearing out,
Kick this doubt that's never far behind,
Fake happy all the time.

(They whisper)

Your taste is so intricate and you want more (want more)
And you're chasing all the social lies since 18
But I promise you ain't ever seen kicks like these.
This place is so into it and they want more (want more)
'Cause I'm storming through the party house on my own
While you filter dreary days for a sun bound coast.

Da da da da da da da da da da

Break the ice and watch your world begin to change.
The way you look - it’s always taken from cliches, all parts on display,
Taste like it's the flavour of the day.
You're staging every last frame.

(They whisper..)

Your taste is so intricate and you want more (want more)
And you're chasing all the social lies since 18
But I promise you ain't ever seen kicks like these.
This place is so into it and they want more (want more)
'Cause I'm storming through the party house on my own
While you filter dreary days for a sun bound coast.

Oh woah

Your taste is so intricate and you want more (want more)
And you're chasing all the social lies since 18
But I promise you ain't ever seen kicks like these.
This place is so into it and they want more (want more)
'Cause I'm storming through the party house on my own
While you filter dreary days for a sun bound coast.

Da da da da da da da da da da
