about

"A call for unity inspired by tragedy, Wide World is an intimate, ethereal, and spiritually affecting resistance song." - Atwood Magazine

KYVA explains, "I’ve been trying to connect with what the project means to me, what it is at it’s core and where it might sit in the world. I keep coming back to one recurring theme: a search for home and belonging."

lyrics

You, it's a wide world it's a wide world coming
You, it's a wide world, it's a wild world.

Never pries the light when I'm blue.
Caked with blood as a white clansman’s uniform

Holy night, gruesome night. We are alone.
Even if our love means they don't recognise us,
Through the white white wash with blood on our hands.
See we're a wide world, it's a wild tide coming

Understand this, you wanna standby while I'm dehumanised,
Terrified.
A Gemini kiss you build a wall while black bodies brutalised.
Learn to fly, one day we'll be sanctified

Holy night, gruesome night. we are alone.
Even if our love means they don't recognise us
Through the white white wash with blood on our hands
See we're a wide world, it's a wild tide coming..

You, it's a wide world it's a wide world coming
You, it's a wide world, it's a wild world.
