"SLASH" lyrics

"SLASH"

I caught myself overthinking
When I was making my LinkedIn
Do I center on the health-tech corporate
And leave out the 'freelance musician'?
Is that a strength or a weakness—
All these professional interests?
Would they see it as a neat uniqueness
Or question the lack of commitment?
It keeps me up at night
But I'll take my own advice
To chase the things that fill me up
So, baby, so what?
I'm just going to take a big breath and be like

Hey
I'm killing it with these slashes in my name
I'm still shimmering showing off every shade
Killing it with these slashes in my name
I don't add up and maybe that's okay

I'm tired of making it make sense
I'll be proud of my contradictions
'Cause do you notice the ones who made it
Were once shamed for doing things different
But pushed past the self-doubt and skeptics?
They found power in hyphens!
So I'll shine like custom-cut diamonds
I'll blind them all with my facets
I'm sick of simplifying
I think it's finally time
To chase the things that fill me up
'Cause, baby, so what?
I'm just going to take a big breath and be like

Hey
I'm killing it with these slashes in my name
I'm still shimmering showing off every shade
Killing it with these slashes in my name
I don't add up and maybe that's okay

Ooo ooo
Baby (I'm mix and matching?)
Making a brand new magic
Spelling it out with slashes
Ooo ooo
Facing the fears in my head
Putting 'em in the past tense
With slashes

I'm just going to be like

Hey
I'm killing it with these slashes in my name
I'm still shimmering showing off every shade
Killing it with these slashes in my name
I don't add up and maybe that's okay
