Diving in the cracks of the ocean
Melting into the burning deep sea
Can’t stop thinking about this dream I had last night
Or was it a dream?
Loneliness starts with the silly thought
Aiminglessly floating
It soaks up water, hides in the waves
Changing colors
Every night
I try to crawl out from the water
Walking against the current
But then
Swept away, anyway
I shouldn’t have trusted the divination
Everything is getting faster and faster
I’m never given the time to think
Diving in the cracks of the ocean
And wondering what the whales are talking about
Can’t stop thinking about this dream I had last night
Or was it a dream?
Diving in the cracks of the ocean
Melting into the burning deep sea
Can’t stop thinking about this dream I had last night
Or was it a dream?

Dear,
Black Boboi
"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.
Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.
In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
