So She woke up from her daze
And then She picked a 10-leaf clover
From the girl-next-door's vast clover field
And screamed aloud: "There's Magic in the air!"
And there was Magic in the air
Yet in her celebratory dance
She snagged the buckle on her pants
And down they fell infront of everyone
And there was Magic in the air
'Cuz you could see her underwear
Yes there was Magic in the air
Sometimes these moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away
So He hopped aboard a fishing boat
And sailed across the ocean
'Til the waves turned into images
Of women singing songs about the sea
Singing songs 'bout being free
"Oh look!" he said, "A different creature
I have never seen before,
I think I'll call her mermaid
And I'll tell her tale to sailors from the sea
But he did not know in truth She
Was nothing more than a little grey manatee!
Sometimes these moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away
She cracks a smile now
When She thinks about the times She had
That badgered her when they first knew her
Now She loves to see them when their here
She holds them dear
He laughs aloud now
When he thinks about the fantasies
That He thought were realities
And how He told these truths to everyone
Though it's now clear that He was wrong
It does no harm to hold a cheer for memories gone
So many moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away

On her first release for RVNG, Discovery Zone makes lustrous, winking pop music that's equal parts pleasant and mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2024
Heartfelt without being cloying and playful while delving below the surface, the lo-fi indie of Metagirl embraces chaos and contradiction. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 7, 2023
