[Chorus]
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time
When you’re taking your time

[Verse]
Close your eyes and tell me what you see
The oil and the rain mix with the setting sun
After dark when I can't believe the sun
Could feel the whole world glory in a spotlight

[Chorus]
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
And it fills up the dark
And it fills up the dark
And it fills up the dark, like a new day
All is on the room, all is on the room
All is on the room, and I can’t say
And it fills up the dark
And it fills up the dark
And it fills up the dark, like a new day

[Outro]
Close your eyes and tell me what you see
Hold on to me
There's something glowing and my blood is bubbling
And it fills up the dark, like a new day

Grimes is the pseudonym of Claire Elise Boucher, a singer-songwriter and experimental electro pop producer. Her music is characterized by 80s-influenced synths, pop sensibility, and high-pitched, ethereal vocals that sit in the background.

Upon releasing her first two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, in 2010 (Arbutus Records), and a split record with d'Eon called Darkbloom in 2011, she increased her fanbase and captured the attention of many. The attention led to a record deal with label 4AD and her third album, Visions, released in 2012, which she produced entirely on Garageband. The album received mass critical acclaim and pushed Grimes closer to the spotlight. At the end of 2013, she signed to be managed by Roc Nation, and following some sparse releases, released Art Angels in 2015. This album once again showed Boucher’s skilled craft, but with catchy choruses that she’d bend and twist to expand the possibilities of music.

Armed with passion, eclecticism, and a distinct sense of confidence, Grimes' music excites and enthralls her listeners, challenging them emotionally and psychologically. Grimes' discography reflects her obvious versatility—feminist club bangers, “escaping into art”, politically-coded tracks regarding sexual assault, and lyrics surrounding numb artistry. Her inability to read music doesn’t affect her quality whatsoever; she produces and engineers all her tracks herself.
