lyrics

What does it mean to be happy?
'Cause it looks like we all don't know,
Glass half-full or empty?
Man, we just putting on a show.

We try to look to the heavens,
To tell us things that we beg to know,
Like what did this all mean,
If there's no tomorrow?

Oh you know, I try,
To find a purpose in my life,
To drive me, to guide me,
Oh doctor I feel dead inside.

Oh you know, I try,
To find a purpose in my life,
To drive me, to guide me,
Oh doctor I feel dead inside.

Oh you know, I try,
To find a purpose in my life,
To drive me, to guide me,
Oh doctor I feel dead inside.

What does it mean to be happy?
'Cause it looks like we all don't know,
Glass half-full or empty?
Man, we just putting on a show.

We try to look to the heavens,
To tell us things that we beg to know,
Like what did this all mean,
If there's no tomorrow?

What does it mean to be happy?
'Cause it looks like we all don't know,
Glass half-full or empty?
Man, we just putting on a show.

We try to look to the heavens,
To tell us things that we beg to know,
Like what did this all mean,
If there's no tomorrow?

[BRIDGE]

Oh you know, I try,
To find a purpose in my life,
To drive me, to guide me,
Oh doctor I feel dead inside.

Oh you know, I try,
To find a purpose in my life,
To drive me, to guide me,
Oh doctor I feel dead inside.

We try to look to the heavens,
To tell us things that we beg to know,
Like what did this all mean,
If there's no tomorrow?

Xotla image

Xotla Melbourne, Australia

My name is Declan Clark, better known as 'Xotla', a Nahuatl word meaning 'to ignite' or 'to blossom', the fusion of which is a beautiful concept I chose my alias in honor of. I spend my time amongst lush forests and diverse wildlife, which inspires the music I create.
I work with a mixture of unusual time signatures and esoteric tunings, and utilise instruments such as microtonal guitars. ... more
