Took me so long just to see,” invites listeners to embrace a perspective of curiosity rather than judgment, finding beauty in every aspect of life.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “green,” philine shares, “I wrote it after my first psychedelic experience. During the trip, everything seemed so connected, and I realized that how we perceive the world shapes our reality. This moment really changed the way I look at life. ‘Green’ is about embracing what unites us all and seeing the beauty and love in everything.”
Drawing from her first psychedelic experience, philine infuses “green” with a sense of unity and surrender, inviting listeners to surrender to the collective experience of existence. The song embodies philine’s unique blend of introspection, storytelling, and dreamy melodies, promising to leave a lasting impression on audiences.
