[Intro: chopped falsetto fragments, reversed syllables, warm synth chords pulsing in an odd meter] (Pe- pe- pearl-) (All the- all the-) [Mantra: fragile falsetto, stuttered and pitch-shifted] All the stars in a pearl And the pearl in the sea And the sea in the stars All the stars in a pearl [Mantra: second voice layered underneath, glitching] I dreamed the sea And the sea dreamed me I dreamed the sea And the sea dreamed me [Interlude: low pitched-down spoken voice, calm and close] My father took me down to see the pearl The way you show a child the ice [Build: strings rise, choir hums, drums gather] All the stars (all the stars) In a pearl (in a pearl) [Climax: full orchestra, huge drums, choir, ondes Martenot soaring] I saw it all at once And I forgave it all I saw it all at once And I forgave it all [Outro: collapses back to one chopped voice and the synth pulse] I dreamed the sea (All the- st- stars-) [End]
