Chromatic descendants
Oscar Jerome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All colors and sounds transcend the treetops
Celestial harmony that makes the clock stop
Existing outside this perceived time
Elation elevation transportation
But first thing′s first get your inspiration
O people where's the sunny on some astral navigation
Subterranean heat from the belly of the beast
All the gears light through
The ground beneath your feet

It′s perfectly complete
It's perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It's perfectly complete
It′s perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It′s perfectly complete
It's perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It′s perfectly complete

Chromatic descendants
Watch hell fall
Down down down down
You better stay your time or
You'll be bleeding on the
Ground ground ground
Homesick blues
Will be reported on the news
But you hear it on the radio
With every sound

The symmetry of songs in the past
This pentatonic geography is vast
The same overtones
That the first beings heard
Existing in a life without words
Your insignificance is why you exist
These 365 beats will persist
You accompany a song when you′re gone
You strike a minor chord in the mist

It's perfectly complete
It′s perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It's perfectly complete
It's perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It′s perfectly complete
It′s perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It's perfectly complete

Chromatic descendants
Watch hell fall
Down down down down
You better stay your time or
You′ll be bleeding on the
Ground ground ground
Those that reflect off the eyes
With the will to survive
Identify and you will find

It's perfectly complete
It′s perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It's perfectly complete
It′s perfectly complete now
You never have to meet now
It's perfectly complete
It's perfectly complete now




You never have to meet now
It′s perfectly complete

Overall Meaning

In "Chromatic Descendants," Oscar Jerome explores themes of transcendence, unity, and the power of music. The lyrics suggest that colors and sounds have the ability to transcend physical barriers, creating a celestial harmony that can make time seemingly stop. This transcendence is depicted as existing outside of our perceived time, suggesting a connection to a higher plane of existence.


The song emphasizes the importance of finding inspiration as a means of unlocking this celestial harmony. The line "But first thing's first get your inspiration" suggests that finding inspiration is the key to accessing this transcendent state. The lyrics encourage listeners to embark on an "astral navigation," implying that exploring the depths of their own consciousness can lead to a heightened state of being.


Additionally, the song alludes to the power of music as a unifying force. The lyrics reference "symmetry of songs in the past" and a "pentatonic geography," suggesting that certain musical elements have persisted throughout time and are deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness. The notion that "you accompany a song when you're gone" indicates that music transcends physical existence and continues to resonate even after we are gone.

This song means so much to me honestly the first time I ever listened to music that didn't come from my parents Playlist or the radio. Just an ad that google for some reason thought I would enjoy. I sure enjoyed it tho.
