about

Triptower Lines is an international, genre-bending production with elements from Jazz, Funk, Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Old Hip Hop. Triptower Lines was written by Chee-Awai in early 2020, and the track has been in production between Summer 2021 and Spring 2021. The song tells a story of a naïve protagonist being seduced at a cocktail party.

The song has no real chorus, and it has hardly any repeating parts, but sonically, Triptower Lines takes you on an enjoyable 3 and a half minute trip. The starts with a Jazzy introduction played by Berlin-based Giulio Frigerio, that leads into an acoustic guitar riff that takes the listener to a funky place. After the middle of the track, the music takes a new direction and introduces electronic elements, and ends with a choir singing the outro.

lyrics

You feel it when bombs all blow
You’re in a bubble going slow
There’s no onset, no peak, no afterglow
The moment, we’re off the streets,
I’d rather get between the sheets,
With you I long for nights of rhythmic beats

I feel like, if in this room
I’m just a ghost not facing doom
I dread to feel that post dreamland gloom
Between these walls I float around
Careful not to leave the ground
It’s what you do when you’re horsing around
Because darling you occupy my mind
At eleven, you feel a switch,
White boogeyman who makes you twitch
If I go once I won’t be rich
In here I feel like the energy,
Is different from you to me
Toilet lines are not what they should be
Because darling, you occupy my mind

I feel with you that I’d be dropped
Just like the others that we stopped
Is my image of your cropped
Warnings are by your smile topped
Guard is down to I won't flee
You’ve opened up for me to see
Glimpses of a future free
Of what we could be
