Their most recent release, GREYAREA, is an androgynous sound of transition, interpolating darkly shimmering layers of angular guitar and pulsating touches of EBM, sharpening their unabashed anthemic rush with a maturing melodic complexity and atmosphere as much informed by post-punk as sweeping electronica. Still, as in records past, the twin pantheons of synthpop and classic VG music are invoked —not as tribute or pastiche, instead fleetingly familiar textures interwoven in a fashion as singular and cooly assured as mastermind
Vincent Segretario’s voice, which propels the EP— crying out loud and whispering the words to poems you never sent. Alongside Segretario, Hannah Avalon moves from live member to creative collaborator, contributing to the ethereal come up of “Glass" and the ecstatic lullaby of closer “Wading." The two have worked together in both anarcho-punk bands and musical theater productions, and somehow this wildly divergent history finds triumphant amalgamation in GREYAREA. This is the soundtrack to an impossible John Hughes movie where all the kids wear black lipstick and dance to the end of the world and everyone kisses and all hearts break when the credits roll.
Recently, WINGTIPS has had the pleasure of supporting artists such as THE TWILIGHT SAD (during US Tour with The Cure), PALE DīAN, JACK LADDER & THE DREAMLANDERS, and SOFT KILL to name a few.
Relativity
Wingtips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can do, we're in our prime
Just don't try to act too kind
The subtleties fall far behind
Another day is on the rise
Another mess of gleaming eyes
It's not what you do
It's where you find me
If you can just understand
The visions that don't leave your head
Watching as the worlds collide
Piecing up a place to hide
Noiseless, furious, and bleak
Screaming to you from the peak
It's not what you do
It's where you find me
The lyrics of Wingtips's "Relativity" seem to be about the fleeting nature of time and the importance of being aware of the present moment. The opening lines suggest that time is of the essence and that the singer and the listener are in their prime, but they must not get caught up in superficial niceties. The emphasis here is on the subtle and the fleeting, suggesting that they might be overlooked or forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life.
The following lines appear to be about the chaos and uncertainty of the world around them, and the need to find a safe haven amidst the turmoil. The idea of "piecing up a place to hide" suggests that the singer and the listener are in search of stability and security in an unpredictable world. The final lines of the song are a rallying call to make the most of the moment and find meaning in the present, rather than worrying about what might come next.
Overall, "Relativity" seems to be a reflection on the importance of being present and aware of one's surroundings, even in the midst of chaos and confusion. It suggests that the moments that matter are often the subtle ones, and that by focusing on the present and finding meaning in the moment, we can create a sense of stability and purpose in the world around us.

We can speak like we're in time
We can communicate as if we're synchronized in time
We can do, we're in our prime
We're capable of accomplishing a lot since we're in our prime
Just don't try to act too kind
Don't fake kindness, it's not needed
The subtleties fall far behind
Small details are insignificant and thus not worth worrying about
Another day is on the rise
A new day is beginning
Another mess of gleaming eyes
People are going about their day with shining eyes
It's not what you do
What you do isn't as important
It's where you find me
What's important is where you find me
If you can just understand
If you're able to comprehend
The visions that don't leave your head
The images in your mind that persist
Watching as the worlds collide
Viewing as different worlds collide
Piecing up a place to hide
Constructing a secret hiding spot
Noiseless, furious, and bleak
Quiet, enraged, and hopeless
Screaming to you from the peak
Yelling to you from the top
It's not what you do
What you do isn't as important
It's where you find me
What's important is where you find me
