Magic by Squint

"Magic" is the first single from Squint in 2024. If you've followed Squint since their inception in 2022, it's a natural evolution from their melodic-hardcore/punk style, incorporating new big chorus-like elements from 90s alternative rock. Vocalist Brennan Wilkinson writes, “Magic” explores one’s journey from the student to the teacher. The song begins with the subject in awe of a magician and ends with himself on stage doing the tricks. Using magic as a metaphor for the illusion and entertainment of being a musician, the song shows our subject’s pupil-to-mentor pipeline."

Lyrics

A trick of the card, a slight of the hand
Wide eyed, mystified
You try and understand

Magic — magic
Looking up with hungry eyes of confusion
In your hands now, which card will you pick?
What all can be found inside that bag of tricks?

Magic — it’s magic
Looking out to hungry eyes of confusion
Find yourself the keeper of the illusion
You find yourself the keeper of the illusion
