"I Don't Know What Free Is" lyrics
"I Don't Know What Free Is"
I, I tried to ask:
What is a performance?
What is to write?
Who is telling it?
When nobody wants to speak
Someone wrote:
"... a performance is something that takes place
Or, even better, someone who is present."
But I don't know what it is in your case...
To be present
She wants to disappear, she wants to be ashes, musk, breath
She has worked on it her whole life
She has worked on it her whole life
To resist
To breathe out, trying not to breathe in too much
"If I only breathe mostly out
I will rid myself
Of myself"
Sign me out, out of the digital earth
Erase me, erase me from brittle pages
Write me out, out of the manuscript
Open up your mouth
Exhale me with your cigarette smoke
Like you gave me life, now set me free
I don't know what free is
But I think you do
Take responsibility for your forms
Or maybe not
Or maybe not
Or maybe not

Panda Bear - "Left In The Cold" Left in the cold
Left in the cold
Left to grow old
Left in the cold
We could beat 'em

Not bought and sold
Won't do as I'm told
We could beat...
The Raveonettes - "BLACKEST" When I rise on my wave
The moon shows her face
A lonely dot at sea
A lonely girl coming straight at me
When I rise on my wave
The moon shows her face
A lonely dot at sea
A lonely girl coming...
Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke - "Back In The Game" Have you missed me? How've you been?
Back to 2020 again
It's either this or jump
If you know what I mean
Up to my old tricks again
Air tight structure, pills for the pain
How I missed this, how long...
CocoRosie - "Cut Stitch Scar" Hold on tight angel said
I thought I heard
Or maybe I just told myself because I'm scared
Love it not what it seems to be
Love not, the thing you love will die a thousand deaths
If not the sky...
Beirut - "Guericke's Unicorn" Where did you go? Where have you been?
How could this thing make any sense?
Where did you go? Where have you been?
How could this thing make any sense?
Life will find a way
It cannot be something...
