Below description relates to Azari & III:
Deep inside the recesses of a sprawling, 19th century warehouse complex in Toronto's gritty-but-rapidly-gentrifying Parkdale neighbourhood, an urgently driving bass line echoes through a maze of hallways. If you know which unmarked door to open and which dark staircase to climb, you'll hear the relentless pounding getting louder and the eerie melodies coming clearer into focus.
Inside their clandestine studio you'll find Azari & III buried in a throbbing groove, seemingly oblivious to a visitor. (Alphonse) Alixander (Lanza) III wheels his chair back and forth between the mixing console to the racks of outboard gear behind him, minutely and obsessively tweaking the Neve EQ of a beat coming from an old 12bit drum sampler, one he bought earlier that day. Behind him, Dinamo Azari is playing a menacing yet oddly beautiful melody on one of the many synths scattered around the cluttered dimly lit room, completely lost in the moment.
Slouched on a couch, thin Nubian front man Starving Yet Full hums the beginnings of a hook quietly to himself in a soft falsetto. Feeling more sure of his idea, he lets loose with a soulful riff on a few words that immediately shifts the mood of the emerging skeleton track. With a paranoid screech the piano booth door opens and Fritz Helder dances his way back into the room, notebook in hand, immediately launching into an impromptu call-and-response routine with SYF. Unfortunately, this kind of session is all too rare for them these days, as the huge buzz that's been generated by their early singles Hungry For The Power and Reckless (With Your Love) has kept them in constant demand in clubs and festivals worldwide.
Transcending genres and scenes, their high profile fans range from Annie Mac to Grizzly Bear, Boys Noize to Broken Social Scene. They've collaborated with UK blowups Friendly Fires, as well as done wisely chosen remix work for Robyn, Cut Copy, Booka Shade, Creep (Romy of the XX) and LA's noise darlings Health. There are actually too many remixes to mention, covering ground from wistful, sad ambient-scapes to punkish, chugging techno frenzies.
This is not an act that seems to be locked into any restrictive scene, but rather bridge builders between the dance and rock worlds, under and overground sensibilities.

Pedal to metal, I'm back on my pedestal
Working too hard, no comparison
You vs. Me is embarrassing
I am the greatest, boy, there's no comparing this
Sat in the back... waiting in silence, oh my
But, I just fucked up the whole area
The flow can get sick like Malaria
And shawty ain't nobody scared of ya
Grand damn, feel like Van Dam when I'm slammin' ya
Do it yourself, brodie, ain't no one helpin' ya
So, I had to help myself
Had to battle all this pain I felt
Had to glorify myself
Dodging White devils is bad for your health
Keep it Black Panther, I'm keeping it stealth
So I can sit back and smoke Green by myself
Indigo, Indigo, Indigo fields
Feeling my vibe, you can't handle it still
Smoking the Vibes like Canadian flags
Hart Foundation, I'm in Canada's will
Enough with this shit
Walking by faith, but I'm running this shit
Taking my time but I ain't rushing a bit
I'm back with that shit
And bussin' that fire, boy, it is what it is
The alpha, omega, the kingdom will live
If life is a bitch, seal with a kiss
I'mma grind for this shit
I ride for myself, for the fam, for the kids
Alpha, omega, the kingdom will live
If life is a bitch, seal with a kiss
I'mma grind for this shit
I ride for myself, for the fam, for the kids
They'll never let me go
So, I had to let em' know
That I gotta let em' go
Because we're...
The Children of the Indigo
The Children of the Indigo
Go, go... go, go, go
They'll never let me go
So, I had to let em' know
That I gotta let em' go
Because we're...
The Children of the Indigo
The Children of the Indigo
(Yeah)
Trapped all in this world, I'm too confused, ay
Them crackers they don't want us to come through, ay
Y'all be on that Reggie, I smoke truth, ay
And I pray my Cadillac's on 22s
Trapped all in this world, I'm too confused, ay
Them crackers they don't want us to come through, ay
Y'all be on that Reggie, I smoke truth, ay
And I pray my Cadillac's on 22s

The song "Indigo" by Azari & III is a dreamy, hypnotic track about falling in love. The lyrics are playful and romantic, as the singer promises to make his love interest a fruity drink that won't be sour, and to pick her a flower. The imagery of a butterfly in the sky is used to describe the beauty of the person he is falling for. The chorus repeats the line "I'm falling through the indigo kaleidoscope," which suggests that the singer is lost in a colorful, psychedelic world.
The second verse continues the playful tone, as the singer describes getting dirty in the shower while getting cleaned up, and indulging in sweet snacks like caramel Cheetos and Reese's peanut butter cups. He sees himself and his partner as complementary opposites, with him being heads and her being tails. He suggests that together they can run the city, even though beauty is only skin deep and they both have different priorities (greed for him, money for her).
Overall, "Indigo" is a love song that celebrates the beauty and fun of falling for someone. The kaleidoscope imagery suggests a sense of wonder and unpredictability, as the singer falls deeper into love.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah
Expressing affirmation and enthusiasm
I'm gonna head down the sun
I'm going to take advantage of this sunny day
Pick you a flower
I'm going to pick a flower for you, as a romantic gesture
Blend up some fruit
I'm going to make a smoothie with fresh fruit
I promise I won't make it sour
I guarantee that the smoothie won't have a sour taste
Give you a sip and
I'll offer you a taste of the smoothie
Then you will pucker your lips
And I predict that you'll make a funny face because it's too sour
And then you'll know
But then you'll realize
That all I really want
That what I actually desire
From you is a kiss
Is a simple kiss from you
I'm falling through your eyes
I'm losing myself in your gaze
And it's tickling my heart
And it's making me feel excited and joyful
Butterfly in the sky
You're like a beautiful butterfly in the sky
Is what you really are
That's who you truly are
You're a star, yeah
You're amazing and outstanding
I'm falling through the indigo kaleidoscope
I'm experiencing a trippy, colorful sensation
Yeah
Expressing affirmation and enthusiasm
I'm getting dirty in the shower
I'm having some intimate fun in the shower
While I'm getting cleaned up
Even though I'm also cleaning myself
Caramel cheeto
Metaphorical flirtatious nickname
Reese's pieces peanut butter cup
Another playful nickname
Strange things happen when
Unusual events take place when
Opposites be attractin'
Two completely opposite personalities are attracted to each other
I'll be heads, you'll be tails
I'll take on one role, and you another, like in a coin toss
It's a perfect match then
It's a perfect combination as a result
I can be greedy, yeah
I can be selfish sometimes
You can be money
You're an ambitious and successful person
Hand in hand in the city
Together, walking through an urban environment
We can run it
We can take control of the situation
Beauty's only skin deep
Physical appearance doesn't determine one's value
Better get your lotion on
Take care of your skin health
All is fair in love and war
Everything is allowed in order to achieve victory
I get dirty in both of 'em
I'm willing to be ruthless and cunning in both love and competition
And I'm gone
I'm leaving, I'm out of here
And I'm gone
Repeating that I'm leaving
I'm gone
Stating that I'm no longer present
I'm falling through the indigo kaleidoscope
Repeating the sensation of trippy colorfulness
And I'm falling through the indigo kaleidoscope
Repeating the experience of trippy colorfulness, again
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh
Nonsensical sounds, probably to add to the upbeat rhythm
Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh
Same as above, just in a different order
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh
More of the same
I'm gone
End of song, repeating the statement of departure
