[Verse 1]
This year is old like a dying father
Whose will is out of spite
We pile into separate agendas
With the songs of defeat playing in our minds

[Chorus]
For you, I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For the abandoned hearts to see them
To bloom into your world

[Verse 2]
Binded to your perfect lands
To live like somber cattle
And we're gathered as seeds
To sprout mid Sahara

For who, for what?
For who, for what?

[Chorus]
For you, I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For the abandoned hearts to see them
To bloom into your world

For you, I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For the abandoned hearts to see them
To bloom into your world

Sonny Moore found club and mainstream stardom beginning in 2008, when he swapped his gig as post-hardcore frontman for From First to Last and created the dancefloor-oriented project, Skrillex. He initially used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into the studio with Skrillex remixing the likes of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.

Now he strives in mainstream success, playing monstrous live sets, releasing songs that rack up millions of listens and producing for the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ellie Goulding, and formed the duo Jack U with equally successful producer Thomas “Diplo” Pentz.
