As I See It

Saw Clara Chung today at her loveprint tour, but this time I was the official photographer. So I didn’t have too much time aside from photographing the event to listen, albeit Clara is a wonderful musician. But for a minute I had to lay down my camera and listen to this song. She dedicated it to her friend, a little ambiguously. But the lyrics could then explain the reasoning behind her appropriation.

So I guess I will also make my own dedication. To the Daphne that we all know.

I hope you will listen.

Dear Daphne

Put him down
That clown of a thing you call a man
Put him down
Put it down
That liquid courage 
Too much courage made you foolish now

You’ll drown
You’ll drown

Stay with me
Your eyes are rolling to the back of your head
Stay with me
Remember the things that I said
Til then I’ll be holding your head
Your head

I was there
A dead soul looking for love
In pretty snake holes
You’re now there
You’re opening bombs in gift wrap
Without a care

Get out of there
Get out of there

I see so much of me in you
But only the pages I threw away
From my story
You don’t need 
That kind of black and blue
Marking up your heart
Bleeding through all of your pages
