'ELEMENTS' is a beat I made in 2021 when I was very isolated and reminiscing on times I had as a child glued to my Playstation when all the other kids were playing outside.

 

I remember looking through my bedroom window feeling sad that everyone else had friends and was having fun, whereas I was too weird or different and socially shy and awkward/introverted.

 

My parents were about to get a divorce and I could feel the tension weighing over heavier each day. This was around the same time I first started to feel suicidal. The only thing that took my mind off everything back then was my PlayStation.

 

I chopped the narrative up to reflect CYNDER who is a rebellious character in the game SPYRO. She has been persuaded but the evil villain MALAFOR to cause destruction and decay in her path. She inevitably falls in love with SPYRO but knows she is not on the right path.

 

She feels that leaving is the best decision for everyone including SPYRO. He doesn’t want her to go but it is for the best. THE CHRONICLER reminds SPYRO that he has lost his own way and needs to pursue his destiny, and mastering the elements around him is the only way to survive in such a hostile world.

 

THE ORACLE reminds SPYRO that he is very unique, and can manipulate time in a positive way to help others. THE CHRONICLER reminds SPYRO of who he is and to ground himself, so that he can continue on his journey.

 

The lyrics talk about the concept of wanting to run away from everything physically and symbolically, to the point you keep reminiscing on the past and feel stuck with the memories you have.
