So I walk through my mind Ponder over clearer waters I've lost my mind Sit right now speak clear I swim the Nile just to keep you here If I'm so keen why do vines still pull at me? Knots in fears and dreams Slick black and swallowing Please take my offering Sit tight now speak clear I swim the Nile just to keep you here To keep you here So I talk through my mind

Keep a note of times and faces To keep me sane in stranger places I woke flooded miles from my mind Limbs like strangers Face generations behind I'm lacking middle shades I'd like to feed the grey I spend my time Wading through my life Of salted planes This time Skies split showing smiling shining gold On faces cold we're growing old and tired The things we've tried Splitting seams the end to means My fears in dreams It all comes back to me Me I'm lacking middle shades I'd like to feed the grey Spend my time

What if I don't last You're alone What if I don't last You're alone again Fear wide eyed More late nights Stained dark blue Cursed by you You're melting through My hands on concrete floors I know they kept them cold for you Hardened in a fractured mould Side by side Close my eyes Sleep in spite Take all night

about

RUMINA's debut EP, 'Botanica', released on the 4th of June 2021, exhibits a strong identity in its use of texture and song structure. Vocalist, Lucy provides intimate and haunting performances that blur the line between serenity and anxiety, whilst the instrumentation accompanies her with intricate detailing from guitars, pianos and synthesisers. Driving drums are thoughtfully sprinkled throughout the songs, constantly pushing the momentum forward. Grappling with themes of mental health and trauma, RUMINA's music is intensely personal and emotional. Having written music and crafted their sound together for years, their first release, Botanica is a self-recorded project documenting their period of growth together as musicians both mentally and musically.
