The colorfully percussive and melodic sound of ‘Apart‘ is a fine blend of vibrant vintage funk beats with rather unexpected sonic toppings. On top of that energetic vibe shines the brilliant voice of British Artist Lexie.
While the music combines seemingly opposing styles, the song is about a divided world, in more aspects than ever. Though I wrote the lyrics many years before the release, the song’s issue is timeless and even intensifying in this decade.

LYRICS
VERSE 1
A life of fame – or shame
A life of grace with a choice to face
A life aflame – or pain
Atom in mass – allocated class
Is there a place – and space ?
We’re born apart till the end and from start to nowhere
So much we share
VERSE 2
No matter here – or there
With different fears and exposed so bare
Just is it so – quite low
Where do you go in your constant flow
Where is your aim – to frame
In crazy games with your figure to claim being blamed for
CHORUS
A reason to hope – on a slippery slope
That we creep and climb to cope
With a life on a thin frayed rope
In our cozy nest
Proudly knocking on our chests
Dissect – us and them with no respect
Too many hidden threats
Amongst us grow, become upset
Protect, for fear of strangeness
VERSE 3
A life in peace – decease
Will you be free or in misery ?
A life in harm – and arms
A life of joy no one will destroy
Will you be pleased – or squeezed
With dignity or where having to flee to no place
VERSE 4
Will you be save – and brave
Close to the end near between the waves
An open gate – or wait
What is your fate in a hostile state
Will you exalt – or halt
In front a fence for defense against frightening difference
