about
Letters to Aliens opens with “Dragon Spirit,” as Sinclair embarks on a magical quest through the psyche, retracing the steps of her inner child and navigating self-awareness. Accompanied by soaring harmonies, gritty, punch-packing electric guitar and melodic bass lines, Sinclair makes a memorable and invigorated entrance.
lyrics
Born in the heat of a cold December,
With eyes that pierced like the dead of Winter
Sagittarius, I’m better on the run,
Never liked to stick around and live inside the damage I have done
The blessing and the curse of a fire breather,
I was born with a dragon spirit
Met life full throttle with rockets on my heels
Floating through the sky with a faulty reel
Nobody quite knew how to tether me to earth
That was a lesson that time would soon force me to learn
Like a purple glitter dragon shot out of a cannon
I made all my decisions with reckless abandon
I didn’t know to be brave, I just wasn’t afraid
Gotta retrace my steps, cut the lock and chain
The blessing and the curse of a fire breather
I was born with a dragon spirit
I was able to put my karate skills to use
When I met that tiny tyrant in the playground tube
And, boy, did he scream and cry and run to his Mama
I showed him what strawberry blonde and pink glasses were made of
Like a purple glitter dragon shot out of a cannon
I made all my decisions with reckless abandon
The blessing and the curse of a fire breather,
I was born with a dragon spirit
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
As I grew up, I started runnin’ out of steam
I was hit with the harsh hand of reality
When I heard footsteps that felt like murder in pursuit of me
I locked all my doors and I bottled up the urge to scream
Now, every night I dream that my time’s running out
or someone’s got an axe to the door of my house
I fight for my life every single time
and I don’t know how to escape
Day after long long day
Gotta cut the lock and chain
Gotta cut the lock and chain
Gotta cut the lock and chain
Like a purple glitter dragon shot out of a cannon
I made all my decisions with reckless abandon
I didn’t know to be brave, I just wasn’t afraid
Gotta retrace my steps, cut the lock and chain
Because every night I dream that my time’s running out
or someone’s got an axe to the door of my house
I fight for my life every single time
and I don’t know how to escape
Day after long, long, after long, long day
The blessing and the curse of a fire breather
I was born with a dragon spirit
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh

Another solid effort start to finish. Very much a life lesson storytelling lyricist. To me still is very similar to James McMurtry which is not a bad thing. Looks like another album is dropping soon. That’s good news. Yimmy Kil
Everything about this album, from the old-timey instrumentation, the powerful lyrics, to Bella's amazing voice, transports you to a very specific place in your imagination, and it's a place worth going to! Cassie
