Petrichor [Virgo] by Veera Lummi
“Petrichor [Virgo]” takes you to the pulse of the earth weaving the vocals with electronic beats and repetitive piano. The track builds in a meticulous Virgo manner and talks about the demands we put on ourselves and others in pursuit of perfection. There is immense beauty in detail as long as we don’t demand it to be a certain way.

Lyrics
Sometimes I push you too hard
Sometimes I discard who you are
Forgetting how jarred
The noise becomes when we feel barred
Sometimes I disregard
How this was always starred
Didn’t plan this far
So forgive me when I can’t show you I’m charred
Slower stream brings exposure
Probe the field gently, explore closer
Trace what you have gained and what you have taught her
Remember what you hold is a four-leaf clover
Petrichor
It takes over my core
Like a shadow
I slowly extend to the floor
Petrichor
It takes over my core
The charge dissolves
When I’m breathing the ground for more
Sometimes I feel tarred
Sticking to past like I have warred
Becoming my own guard
Desperately mending what others have marred
Filter out what serves no longer
And fill the empty space with fresh water
With the new moon we start over
We flow deeper, we flow broader
Petrichor
It takes over my core
Like a shadow
I slowly extend to the floor
Petrichor
It takes over my core
The charge dissolves
When I’m breathing the ground for more
Petrichor
It takes over my core
Like a shadow
I slowly extend to the floor
Petrichor
It takes over my core
The charge dissolves
When I’m breathing the ground for more
