Parallel Action feat. WondRWomN - Connect The Dots
“A sound that is emotionally engaging and seeping with dark intensity”
XLR8R
Following support from XLR8R and Wordplay Magazine, Parallel Action returns with his new single ‘Connect The Dots’ featuring Tottenham MC WondRWomN.
‘Connect The Dots’ is a cinematic,illbient track with roots laid in jazz and downtempo breaks. The atmospheric nature of the production allows WondRWomN to flow with authority in the space. An exploration into the current state of affairs, reinforced with visceral energy and cutting lyrics “No visible trauma, invisible slaughter. No critical caller, case closed criminal walks off” raps WondRWomN.
WondRWomN has been bubbling in UK’s hip hop scene for a while now, carving out her own lane in the underground. Her niche style of rap heavily relies on lyricism. This ability to create vivid stories with her music has resulted in an exciting collaboration with Parallel Action, who has sonic storytelling at the heart of his production.
‘Connect The Dots’ is the second released from Parallel Action’s forthcoming album, out Summer 2021 and, alongside WondRWomN, has created a call to war that is emotionally engaging and seeping with intensity.

LYRICS
Lawn mowing, where there's corn growing
Playing penny up the wall
No ball throwing
Splashing cash
Dolphins in a small ocean
They lock you up where there’s laws broken
Alarms go off when the emergency door opens
Tour postponed till further notice
I can’t articulate myself
Don’t let a person quote this
Murder wrote this - Flow
Though you preferred your boat trip
Find me in that sunken place
Like the Earthing process
Progress, slow steps, quick moves
tone death, posts get, restrict-ed
Flicked through, who me?
Picked you!
Maybe me?
But I can get from A to B
Don’t aim to be
Perfection’s
Chasing dreams,
Acceptance
is racing teams
Direction
Laser beams
Following the light
Swallowing your pride
Roll your sleeves up,
If your collar isn’t white,
Is this my destiny?
A desk with tea?
A bed to rest and sleep
Caress my feet
Progressively
Ain’t quick enough for the lesser fee
Debt relief
Ain’t big enough to invest in me//
Chorus:
From nine to five
The times arrived
Reset, rewind
No threat survives
We prepped for war
We set for life
Connect the dots
Of seperate lines
x2
Verse 2:
Deep breaths, like a bleep test,
Retain more,
keep less
Wolves in a sheep’s dress
Snakeskin,
Draped in
Capes and aprons,
Space invasion
Filled with faceless agents
Like Jason
But we’re paper chasing
Went from fine wine to
Grapes then raisins
Flavours tasteless//
Off Putting
Pins in soft cushions
Talk when you not looking
Eyes open, blocked footage
What’s cooking?
Chorus:
From nine to five
The times arrived
Reset, rewind
No threat survives
We prepped for war
We set for life
Connect the dots
Of seperate lines
x2
Verse 3:
No visible trauma,
Invisible slaughter
No critical caller
Case closed
Criminal walks off
Serves minimal, shorter
No trace, digital order
Slow pace, cynical thoughts of
Who we see, mineral water
Sitting tight, hit the light
Exercise, fit to fight
Check the price,
What’s best to buy?
Protect a crisis
detect a virus
In a hi-vis
Off the rail
Reckless driving
Coffin nails,
Maskless females and coughing males
Headstone, headlines often sale
Bridge:
Is this a test to see
How we suppress the heat?
Sippin moonshine at midnight on crescent street
Is this a test to see
How we suppress the heat?
Sippin moonshine at midnight on crescent street
Chorus:
From nine to five
The times arrived
Reset, rewind
No threat survives
We prepped for war
We set for life
Connect the dots
Of seperate lines
