The Starlight Sirens bring a literal spectrum of hope to the “cracked streets” with this track. “Prism Parade” is the audio equivalent of light hitting a diamond in a dark room—it takes the monochrome gray of the wasteland and shatters it into a thousand different directions. It’s a rhythmic, marching anthem that proves that three voices, when perfectly aligned, can act as a “rainbow wide” enough to cover a city.
The Geometry of Joy
The song focuses on the physics of light as a metaphor for solidarity. The Sirens describe themselves as a “prism,” where “beams of color split and rise” from their “three bright eyes.” The arrangement is meticulously “stacked, side by side,” using a marching drum beat to provide a “soft” but “steady” foundation for voices that “leap like flames.” It’s a song about taking up space, refusing to hide, and letting “every note be a ribbon you can hear.”
Refracting the Night
In “Prism Parade,” the night isn’t an enemy; it’s just a canvas where “light refracts where the night is paling.” The Sirens reclaim the city street by street, turn by turn. By the time the world starts to spin and the “streets cascade,” the listener isn’t just watching a parade—they are part of a “fleeting, colorful truce” with the world. It’s a reminder that even under a “broken sky,” harmony can still be the brightest thing on the horizon.
PRISM PARADE
by: Starlight Sirens
Colors scatter down the cracked street,
Every step a gleam, every turn a beat.
We glide through shadows, laughter trailing,
Light refracts where the night is paling.
Drums march softly under broken sky,
Voices leap like flames flying high.
Every corner bends the rainbow wide,
Harmony flows, nothing to hide.
Prism parade, shine and sway,
Take the city and light the way.
Step in time, let the colors play,
Prism parade, tonight we stay.
Hands lift high, reflect and turn,
Rhythms ripple, hearts that burn.
Voices layer, bright and clear,
Every note a ribbon you can hear.
Beams of color split and rise,
Light caught in three bright eyes.
Three voices rise, entwined, and tight,
Guiding us forward through the night.
Prism parade, shine and sway,
Take the city and light the way.
Step in time, let the colors play,
Prism parade, tonight we stay.
Marching on where the beams collide,
All three voices stacked, side by side.
The world spins, the streets cascade,
All together in our prism parade.
