Morel is Gradient's second single, released in 2021


Lyrics:
With every budding interaction 
I feel a flourish gaining traction 

But when the sunlight up and goes 
I won't mind as I will I find the time to tap the dark and grow 

I’ll waste up your day 
And you, in return can take my patience 
I know what’s at stake 
If it falls, it will fall on my face 

With every inopportune 
Display of your misfortune 
I’ve learned love shows to those who wait 

At times, the progression of life feels like magic 
Yet it’s all predestined by my own growth habits 
But when I let in the lack of colors around me 
That’s when you will see me, growing in the dark 

You’ll have to swim in the deep sea 
To fly in the skies 
What may seem dark to me 
Is flying colors in shrimp’s eyes 
You have to fall for a long time 
For your true colors to fly 

It’s so boring to see the same blue skies and white clouds around me 
And it’s not always easy, but we make the change and grow by doing so 
I know you don't want to go, well enjoy what you are able to, but it won't forever glow 
It’s so foreign to me, and unappetizing 
When one feeds off the sun 'cause 

There, the regression of light seems so tragic 
But here, the progression of life feels like magic 
It’s so clear, it says it here in my growth habits 
And when I let in the lack of colors around me 
That’s when you will see me, growing in the dark 

Won’t be there not knowing how or when to start 
Likely you will see me, growing in the dark

Cuomo is Gradient's first single following their debut EP What You'll Find. It features new bassist Joe Nichols who previously worked with the group on Did You Forget, adding his piano work to the track. Cuomo introduces themes about moving on from a relationship that died overtime. This also notes a transition for Gradient, moving towards a more experimental direction while still maintaining their roots in their original sound.
