1. Parallels is … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 2 bands with the name Parallels:
1. Parallels is an electronic group based out of Toronto, Canada consisting of front-woman Holly Dodson (vocals, keyboards), Nick Dodson (drums) and Artem Galperine (live keyboards). Past members include Cameron Findlay (drums, composer, producer) and Joey Kehoe (keyboards).
Parallels began in 2008 through an exchange of emails between Holly and former member Cameron Findlay, which turned into their debut single “Ultralight”. After Findlay returned to Toronto at the end of Crystal Castles’ 2008 tour, Findlay and Dodson turned their main focus to the development of Parallels. They found co-writing to be a refreshing break from working solo – each bringing their diverse musical backgrounds to their new project – stemming in ambient electronic music and seventies pop, meshed with cold synthetic sounds.
Parallels recorded the material for their first album during 2009 titled Visionaries which was then independently released on Marigold Productions in February 2010.
Their second album, XII, was released in June 2012 on Marigold Productions.

DOVER
Parallels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your beauty years before
A phantom held your soul
All for you the tides run high
I will wander at the walls of barren white
I believe, I will wait for your return back to me
All my love to the sea
All I had all I'll ever be, the ghost of Dover green
And if our tale be told, we lived in days of old
So weak our thread of life
We drank the milk of paradise
Only to fall into a dream
Feel the waters crash and close around me
Did he fall like a hero?
It's a secret left unknown...
All my love to the sea
Past the Dover fields of green
All I had all I'll ever be, the ghost of Dover green
What I want, what I lost
The senses of my mind filled with fog
The air was dark, candlelight
You're getting closer now!
All my love to the sea
Past the Dover fields of green
All I had all I'll ever be, the ghost of Dover green
I was the girl at distance seen
Past the hills of Dover green
All I had, hear my cry upon the wind at Dover green!

Line by Line Meaning
Still within my life, a vision every night
Despite the passing of time, I continue to encounter a recurring vision.
Your beauty years before
I remember your beauty from years ago.
A phantom held your soul
You are a ghost, trapped in an ethereal existence.
All for you the tides run high
My emotions surge like the high tides, all because of you.
I will wander at the walls of barren white
I will aimlessly roam through the empty, desolate walls.
I believe, I will wait for your return back to me
I have faith and I patiently anticipate your eventual return to my side.
All my love to the sea
I give all my love to the vast ocean.
Past the Dover fields of green
Beyond the green fields of Dover.
All I had all I'll ever be, the ghost of Dover green
Everything I possessed, my whole existence is now just a specter haunting Dover.
And if our tale be told, we lived in days of old
If our story is to be shared, it recounts a past era.
So weak our thread of life
Our lives were fragile and vulnerable.
We drank the milk of paradise
We indulged in the pleasures and blissful experiences of a heavenly realm.
Only to fall into a dream
Only to find ourselves trapped within a dream.
Feel the waters crash and close around me
Sensing the forceful impact of the water as it engulfs me.
Did he fall like a hero?
Did he meet his demise as a noble and courageous figure?
It's a secret left unknown...
The truth remains hidden and undisclosed.
What I want, what I lost
My desires and the things I have relinquished.
The senses of my mind filled with fog
The clarity of my thoughts obscured by confusion.
The air was dark, candlelight
The atmosphere was dim, illuminated only by flickering candlelight.
You're getting closer now!
You're drawing nearer to me!
I was the girl at distance seen
I was the girl observed from afar.
Past the hills of Dover green
Beyond the hills of verdant Dover.
All I had, hear my cry upon the wind at Dover green!
Everything I possessed, listen to my desperate plea carried by the wind at Dover.
