DECHODE MODE

TAKE UP YOUR CROWN

STREAM HERE
This is a song for those in the middle. You’ve embarked upon a path towards something significant—perhaps as a personal goal, transformation, or even with a sense of destiny. But the road is long and hard, and your exact destination is unclear. Moments of doubt can linger into days that feel darker and even discouraging. We invite you to remember why you began this journey—to reminisce upon the inexplicable pull that catalysed your first step. We implore you to trust that the forces which led you here have inadvertently affirmed this truth: you are exactly where you are supposed to be, and you have everything it takes to continue this journey forward. The crown represents all it means to fully embrace the ups and downs of this road while stepping securely into the power of claiming your rightful place. You’ve taken this road; take up your crown.

WHEN YOU CALL

STREAM HERE
Dedicated to the humans separated from lovers, friends, family, the inner child, and even God…

To those who share a love that is incomparable,
Who battle separations within and beyond their control,
Secretly desiring to be reunited,
Longing for the one who feels like home…

There’s nothing like when that person calls,
And the yearning that lends its answer,
A path you may not be ready for,
A path you may never walk again,
But still, a path that leaves you wholly and unequivocally arrested,
No matter the time, circumstance, or pain.

For that love, that all-consuming love, will always remain…

JOURNEY TO YOUR HEART

STREAM HERE
This song is a profound invitation to strip away the superficial and embark on a quest of self-revelation. It beckons you to shed your masks, embrace your authentic self, and find the rhythm of your own heartbeat. ‘Journey to Your Heart’ is a musical voyage into the depths of your soul, where dreams and desires await, unburdened by the expectations of others. The name you were given, from titles to stereotypes, does not have to be the one you choose. Will you embark on this journey and dance to the unique rhythm of your heart? The choice is yours.

FATE OF EIGHTS

STREAM HERE
In a world where men and women have bought into the chess games that they believe they must play against each other, there is a rare place of surrender that goes beyond the surface. The Divine Masculine has been corrupted by toxic masculinity and shrouded by toxic femininity, yet it remains an archetype in desperate need of empowerment. Why? Because the Masculine embodying Divinity will naturally support and give way to the Divine Feminine’s true purpose. Together, two become one… and yet, each one also becomes two. That access to the full range of inner dualities releases great power for them both. This power is creative, not destructive, allowing pure sight of each to the other. In this song, the Feminine sees and recognises the Masculine and sings in surrender and worship of the Divinity that both binds and frees them into their fated forevers.

IN ANOTHER LAND

STREAM HERE
“In Another Land” speaks to the diasporas of the world, the world citizens who were not meant to die where they were born. Exploring and integrating with different cultures and new ways of being, while embracing one’s heritage like skin adorning the body, is how we peacefully place flags on the moons of our life’s seasons. A planet of almost 200 countries becomes closer to one world when we soak in and see through another hemisphere’s eyes. And sometimes, what you’ve been given to say is meant for ears much further away than you could ever imagine…

DOORWAY TO GREATER REALMS

STREAM HERE
The human dilemma is complex, but it often comes down to choosing between darkness and light, wrong and right. And every choice asks for a sacrifice. In this dark, fantastical piece, Dechode Mode explores the story of a significant choice that presents itself in the form of a door. After a frustrating contemplation, a realisation is reached: that entering a greater realm requires not just a commitment to that path but the facing and vanquishing of all that holds you back.

THE SACRED SOAR

STREAM HERE

“The Sacred Soar (Fill My Cup)” is a song of pure love birthed through purposeful surrender. Both lovers commit to filling their cups and not expecting the other to do the inner work for them. It is, in essence, the healthy way for love to thrive and for divine purpose to survive when two have committed to the path of the One. [“If you’re the wind beneath my wings, your dreams won’t thrive; I fill my cup each day so you can survive”]

THE CANDLE & THE FLAME

STREAM HERE
“The Candle & The Flame” explores the entangled tragedy of misaligned connections and toxic, codependent love. To most, it initially seems fitting that a candle and a flame belong together. Soon, it’s revealed that for the flame to live, the candle must melt and eventually die; and for the candle to sustain its form, the flame must be blown out. Yet, the candle feels purposeless without the flame, and the flame refuses to be anything other than itself. [“The more I burn for me, the less of you there is… And I keep on burning”].

LULLABY FOR WEARY SOULS

STREAM HERE
“Lullaby for Weary Souls” details the convenient companionship that loneliness often catalyses. The need to not be alone in the dark night, eventually juxtaposed with the inescapable need to be alone to find a lasting sense of peace [“But in this bed I’ve made us, I sleep when you leave”] describes the complexity of the human condition in a modern world.

BREAKTHROUGH

STREAM HERE
When trapped in a life of fear, the breaking point arrives with a dark invitation: anyone who dares to dive into its abyss will experience the cataclysmic power of inner revolution. But it may cost you everything. Calling you back to yourself, all must break the glass ceiling to Breakthrough. If the only way up is down, break ground within you to ascend

RIPPLES

STREAM HERE
Our minds’ runaway thoughts can ripple out into crashing waves of emotions during times of doubt and uncertainty. “Ripples” speaks to this upheaving experience in a palette of succinct words fused with earthy and electronic sounds. Come with us on the sonic journey of the unsettling thought that drops like a beat yet finds the Way to a nestled sense of peace.

PRECIOUS & CRUEL

STREAM HERE
Launching Dechode Mode formally into the musical realm, Precious & Cruel is a contemplative, vulnerable, and transformative song — three keywords that also represent the work of the singing, songwriting and production duo of Zerzura & KLiC. Musically and lyrically, it deliberates the human condition as Zerzura seeks to find her place and purpose in the world. Created from a place of fantastical nakedness, Dechode Mode questions the monsters-in-moments about the truth of who we are meant to be.
