"Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought" -Holding onto you, 21 pilots.


Three seagulls.

Three seagulls frolick above the sea.

The sea blazes with beguiling blue flames.

The flames bewitch the harmonious, hypnotizing heavens.

The heavens produce nothing but three.


Three seagulls.

Three seagulls perfect the enchanting islands.

The islands paint a radiant, reflective sky.

The sky gives its angels enthralling, celestial wings.

The wings seek out the essence of three.


Three seagulls.

Three seagulls gaze at the depth of the water.

The water sings intoxicatingly to the jagged cliffs.

The cliffs remind the birds of their unique features.

The features form into clusters of three.


Harmony of the numbers—

Wisdom of the significant—

Understanding the meaning—

The meaning of three.
