What we have is a loser's game
One step forward, ten steps back
Just when I think I'm close to you
Turns out I'm falling for a lie
What we have is a game of chance
Yeah sadly just a bit of fun
Not so sure our goal's the same
My hopes keep falling again

It's just snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
You run hot and cold
At the roll of a dice
Carelessness with lust or love makes
What we have just snakes and ladders
Just snakes and ladders

I want to move on, my heart has stalled
You bait a rise just to watch me fall
My modest hopes keep crashing down
Aren't you surprised I'm still around

It's just snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
You run hot and cold
At the roll of a dice
Carelessness with lust or love makes
What we have just snakes and ladders
Just snakes and ladders

Snakes And Wolves (feat. Grace Chia)

There’s a charge burning up the air
Solar wind in the atmosphere
Hard to breathe when I’m next to you tonight
Magic glow shining in your eyes
Wicked smile as you face the sky
Gettin’ jiggy wit it in delight, so high

I wanna dance, wanna fly in light
I wanna dance, wanna make you sigh
I wanna dance, till the night runs dry
Baby c’mon baby c’mon, let it feel feel feel right

Under Aurora Australis skies
I see the promise in your eyes
Into heaven with you tonight
Air is roaring, we’ll take flight

There’s a storm building in my soul
Whirling passionate red and gold
Hold me tight ‘cos I’ll lose control tonight
Feel the magnetism, let it flow
Lost at dawn so don’t let go
Feel my pulse in the audio, so low

I wanna dance, wanna fly in light
I wanna dance, wanna make you sigh
I wanna dance, till the night runs dry
Baby c’mon baby c’mon, let it feel feel feel right

Under Aurora Australis skies
I see the promise in your eyes
Into heaven with you tonight
Air is roaring, we’ll take flight

I wanna dance, wanna fly in light
I wanna dance, wanna make you sigh
I wanna dance, till the night runs dry
Baby c’mon baby c’mon, let it feel feel feel right

I wanna dance, wanna fly in light
I wanna dance, wanna make you sigh
I wanna dance, till the night runs dry
Baby c’mon baby c’mon, let it feel feel feel right

Under Aurora Australis skies
I see the promise in your eyes
Into heaven with you tonight
Air is roaring, we’ll take flight

Under Aurora Australis

LIMINA writes music that makes you want to dance, or cry. Occasionally both at the same time, in a good way.

A pop electronica project from producer/singer-songwriter/composer and video director Ian Chia, LIMINA infuses ingredients of R&B, funk and electronica into phosphorescent pop, Moving between thresholds of joyous expression and inner contemplation, the music references the rich heritage of 80’s and 90’s pop while shining a reflective lens on the experience of life in the 2020s.
