Europa, Crack Open

Verse 1 Europa wears a frozen skin, White and silent, sealed within. Red lines run across her face, Like something calling from beneath the ice. She’s been hiding all this time, Buried deep beneath the white. But tonight the cracks run wide, Like she wants us to look inside. Pre-Chorus No one knows what waits below, But Europa wants to show. Chorus Europa, let it crack, Let the ice fall back. Show us what you’ve kept below, Show us what we’ll never know. Europa, open wide, Let the hidden world collide. All those red veins lead the way To the secret underneath the grey. Verse 2 She doesn’t break — she opens, Slowly, like a door. Every fracture spreads a little more, Till there’s nowhere left to hide. Jupiter hangs above her, But she doesn’t seem afraid. She’s been waiting in the darkness For the moment she could show her face. Pre-Chorus No one knows what waits below, But Europa wants to show. Chorus Europa, let it crack, Let the ice fall back. Show us what you’ve kept below, Show us what we’ll never know. Europa, open wide, Let the hidden world collide. All those red veins lead the way To the secret underneath the grey. Bridge Is it water? Is it life? Is it something we can’t name? Maybe she has waited ages Just to let us see her pain. Maybe there’s a world below, Maybe there’s nothing at all. But every crack she opens wider Feels like an invitation. Heavy Break Look below. Look below. Europa wants us to know. Look below. Look below. Europa’s letting go. Final Chorus Europa, let it crack, There’s no turning back. Show us what you’ve kept below, Show us what we’ll never know. Europa, open wide, Let the darkness come to light. All those red veins lead the way To everything she kept away. Outro Europa… She wants us to see. Europa… Beneath the ice. Europa… What has she been hiding?
