about

Also written during the Borgonyà exile of December 2016, it is a song of introspection and reflection from the author's point of view, ending with a strong and loud almost-dogmatic statement: "You can be whoever you want".

lyrics

If the lightweight of the air
could cut my dreams through my hair,
maybe I’d get who I am
what I am doing, what’s the claim.

If the cherries on my hands
could just walk through the stands,
maybe I’d get who I am
what to sing, who to blame.

So I would break the spell of other lives,
be the chanteur she would be asking for,
so to listen to the great void,
the sound of a humanoid

If the lightweight of the air
could cut my dreams through my hair,
maybe I’d get who I am
what I am doing, what’s the claim.

If the dust of my chords
could memorize these fallen words
maybe I’d get who I am
what to play, what’s my name.

So I would break the glass of sazerac,
sing the glory she would be aiming for,
but then you’d listen to the great void
I try to hide and possibly destroy.

But now here I am, so free and frail
staring at the sea in a winter night
and I keep telling to myself
and I keep telling to myself...

You can be whoever you want...
You can be whoever you want...
