about

Monumental, a song about spirituality versus the ingestion of organized religion. Touching on the topic of growing up in a religious culture and its toxic affects. An upbringing structured to give a sense of guilt, shame, and negative reinforcement on one’s true identity. Monumental takes you through a dark tunnel with its tough grinding beats, ethereal undertones, and dark corners. Only to propel you to an emerging light with sounds of bliss and weightlessness. Gonzales’s vocals emit melodies in a dichotomy between pain and a vulnerability towards finding a resolution “ there is a way to feel the sun, high…. “

lyrics

Fate... Oil paint and sea,
Own a different story
A way to feel this sand
Free...
From my infancy
It’s Monumental,
A way to free the slave

When I’m on my own
When I start to feel
Unto whom I hold the cross
A way through you and me
There is a home to call my own
There is a way to feel the Sun
High ...........

Saint... Glass and painted faith
It’s not enough
Awake to feel insane
Free of duplicity
It’s Monumental,
A way to free the slave

When I’m on my own
When I start to feel
Unto whom I hold a cross
A way through you and me
There is a home to call my own
There is a way to feel the sun
High ...........
