'Petrichor' in literal terms is the smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of hot, dry weather. After Australia's 2019/2020 summer of bushfires, the world saw rise a virus, and at first, our nation's leader proved to ignore frightening intercontinental cries for help.
lyrics
Said, “Whatcha wanna do? Decide”,
You said you wanted to be free.
Crept in like moss into the pavement,
You said you wanted to be free.
Petrichor, we breathe.
Perisher, we bleed.
Petrichor, we breathe.
Perisher, we bleed.
The distant cries across the ocean,
Are muffled by your mind unclear.
You turned a blind eye to the notion,
She’s in your house, she’s here.
Perisher, she’s here.
Petrichor, we fear.
Perisher, she’s here.
Petrichor, we fear.
Breathe her in.
Breathe her out.
Breathe her too.
Breathe her in.
Breathe her in, (Petrichor, we breathe).
Breathe her out, (Perisher, we bleed).
Breathe her too, (Petrichor, we breathe).
Breathe her in, (Perisher, we bleed).
Petrichor, we breathe.
