Sultana initially made a name for themself busking on the streets of Melbourne and having homemade videos go viral getting millions of views online. Since having their hands wrapped around a guitar at the age of three, the self-taught artist quickly developed their own unique style that has people lining up to see them perform live. Their vocal shines with a magical quality, they have a natural gift for melody and their virtuosic guitar playing is from another planet.
Sultana sold out their entire World tour and was added to dozens of high profile festivals including Laneway 2017. Both singles ‘Jungle’ and ’Notion’ were quick to receive high rotation on national broadcaster triple j. With their six-track “Notion EP” released via their very own independent label “Lonely Lands Records”, the sky is the limit.
Gemini
Tash Sultana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want to feel okay
Because I'm tired of always waking up
In this unfamiliar place
I've been over and under
Coming round in circles
It don't seem to make it easier for me
No I don't think about it
No, I don't drink about it
But you got me in a tangle
And I got myself into the sweetest disposition
Only because I followed my intuition
The lyrics of Tash Sultana’s “Gemini” are centered on the singer’s feelings of disorientation and confusion as they attempt to navigate the different directions and aspects of their life. The singer insists that they are not trying to complicate matters; rather, they simply want to feel okay. The notion of being tired of waking up in an unfamiliar place—both literally and metaphorically—serves as a recurring image throughout the song.
The singer sings about going over and under in their attempts to sort through the different parts of their life, but feeling as though they are coming full circle without any clear sense of progress or resolution. Although the singer tries to distance themselves from their troubles by insisting that they don’t think or drink about them, the presence of another person—“you”—seems to complicate matters. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that their intuition has led them to a “sweet disposition,” perhaps suggesting that some sense of peace or understanding is possible through an acceptance of one’s own instincts.
In a broader sense, “Gemini” can be seen as a meditation on the complexities of identity and the self, particularly in the context of contemporary society. The singer’s sense of being pulled in different directions and struggling to find a sense of belonging may resonate with listeners who similarly feel a sense of fragmentation or disconnection in their lives.

No, I'm not trying to complicate it
I am not intentionally making this difficult
I just want to feel okay
I desire emotional stability
Because I'm tired of always waking up
I am exhausted of constantly feeling this way
In this unfamiliar place
In this state of discomfort and confusion
I've been over and under
I have experienced highs and lows
Coming round in circles
Going through the same situations repetitively
It don't seem to make it easier for me
It does not seem to ease my struggles
No it don't, yeah
No, it really does not
No I don't think about it
I avoid dwelling on the matter
No, I don't drink about it
I do not turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism
But you got me in a tangle
But you have me feeling confused and entangled
And I got myself into the sweetest disposition
And I found myself in a blissful state of being
Only because I followed my intuition
Simply because I trusted my instincts

Tash, you are pure hypnosis. Every fiber of my being relaxes and my mind disengages from the meaningless chatter. Your music takes me places, and when I come back to my body, I am aligned with my Higher Self. Thank you for being the Light.

If you could feel your entire life and soul in one album, it would be this one.
