In this confrontational dialogue between the conscience and the collective, Lekursi’s ‘Amarna Letters’ finds an epoch spot. Coming from someone who receives inspiration from lucid dreams and historical synchronicities, the song is an open metaphor for today’s global scenario. ‘Amarna Letters’ feels like a manifesto smuggled out of an inner prison. Lekursi’s imagination draws parallels between two different timelines, the past and the present, yet living a similar life. A life where the whole world is suppressed by fear-driven systems.

The recurring chant, “The man, he don’t own me,” feels like an affirmation to create autonomy in a system designed to erode it. “Sentiment, it isn’t real, censoring our words. Make me take a pill, until I no longer feel,” reflects the strongly embedded emotions, both on the individual and collective level of perceiving. The lyrics in the song assemble Lekursi’s deeply personal moments, combined with layers of fears & doubts in society today. And, these layers transcend unmistakably through the song’s electronic textures, modernistic expanses of post-rock, along with carefully placed jazz inflections.
