about

I have come to realise that putting on a mask is usually harmful and that stepping away from certain people and discussions is crucial to preserve my mental health. "Some People" was my way of writing about the inability of many people to mirror themselves and reason with less formulaic ways of living. This inability leads to counter-arguments born of religious beliefs, fear (of the self and of change), and lack of exposure, used to deflect and diminish the other.

Some people turn away from the need to question and reflect. Therefore, the search for reasoning always outweighs the feelings of those who are judged. This song is about making peace with this war, which can often mean being complicit or perceived as such. It is about recharging, regaining control and being strong in my fragility.

lyrics

SOME PEOPLE

Most people fear those they cannot see
Blaming us for their inability to breathe
While we spend our whole lives trying to be
And though it’s our fight there is no way

That I can stay
I’m sorry I can’t stay

Some people sink their teeth in on anything
High moral grounds, ignorance and the holy king
We fight those internalised tumorous beliefs
To then be struck down by your valiant mischiefs

And I can’t stay
I’m sorry I can’t stay

I wish I could stay but there’s really no point
And you won’t understand why I’m leaving your bones behind…

… To be sound, still humane and free.
Not be tamed, not be framed or feared.
