letra de liberation / exposé / chrysalis - deperra

part 1: liberation

[chorus]
liberation
it’s an ecstasy, it’s an ecstasy
liberation
i’ve been set free, i’ve been set free
i’ve changed my life
and i’ll never go back

[verse 1]
i look back and laugh at my anti socialization
i thought my life had finally reached peak devastation
i felt like life didn’t feel like living anymore
i closed the door on the world
but something changed this man, awakened him from his dormancy
a fate so relieving, something he never thought he’d see
dragged my two heavy feet across the pavement
and once i came home i broke myself free from enslavement
i saw someone on my street strolling slowly down the road
so carefree and so reserved, i saw some of myself in her
and that sad room just had to wait, i don’t want to go back there
ay, i cleaned up and introduced myself, i was shaky
but my two feet were planted on the ground, i relaxed myself
that puzzle piece, it cl!cked, i never knew that i could find
someone who knew me so well
from the very first time we met
and all i bet is it’ll stay that way
[chorus]
liberation
it’s an ecstasy, it’s an ecstasy
liberation
i’ve been set free, i’ve been set free
i’ve changed my life
and i’ll never go back

[verse 2]
what else can i say, i’ll just do nothing but ramble
i asked her out one day, a decision that was a gamble
and the next day i had someone by my side
that wasn’t just there out of obligation
it’s not like we’re lovers, that’s not the plan
but whatever happened there, i could tell that something began
a euphoria that only a friendship could grant
something like that
it’s liberating, i look back on the past in disgust
why did i feel the obligation to shout out “i must”
every single time somebody rubbed me the wrong way
treated my ego like balloons, call me kanye
in three days i changed my act up
but i’m not gonna say i was wrong, looking back on it
it’s just a matter of getting what i deserve
my hard work paid off, seat to success i reserved
but it consumed me, i can’t keep wasting my valuable time
on all these feeble minded people, that must be a crime
especially when there’s so many better things to do
like running out into the world, a life of freedom i’ll pursue
i started living a life that’s true
from the very first time we met
and all i bet is it’ll stay that way
liberation
i get that seeing her will be my only chances to conversate
she thinks very much the same
she asked me for my contacts
my online profiles
so we can stay connected when we’re separated
without hesitation i spelled them all out
like a recital i made sure nothing was missing
a perfect way to get to know all you need to know about someone
and enhance our communication
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… yeah…

part 2: exposé

[spoken word]
the hours passed
pacing across the room, t–th chattering like a wind up toy
the boy realised what he had done
with just a few links his true colours blossomed like never before
like a flower field waking up to the spring
but these colours were not as pretty
it was all coming back to him
the one true bond he made was about to collapse
he’d seen the same words many times before
but those same words were the heaviest they would ever be
he would finally confront a fear that he never knew he held
the fear of consequence
the boy’s paranoia came alive
no, it wasn’t a surprise, but everything felt so new
his heart split in two as all his worries came true
oh, the blade was thin and it turned the boy blue
a dagger through the chest, and it pierced so deep
and it read like a novel but it was all the truth
glued to the words his heart sank to the floor
it was an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
the spring was fading into winter as his youth
sped past and left him shriveled up, lying on the floor
and the force of the response sent shockwaves through the boy
it was something he could not ignore
heartbeat the speed of an idle cl!cker
and a head so hot it just hurt to touch
the defeat was inevitable

too lost for words to speak his lament
an act of theft by what was sent
a spectacular event
that ecstasy, it came and went
what was said was burnt into his brain like a cd-r
he thought his life was normal but he took it too far
and it was incurred

locked on the lines of text
he could not look away
the words were heavy and cold
and they fell to the ground with such a thud
it shook the house
and it was perfect, and it was perfect

wake up!

part 3: chrysalis

[spoken word]
i don’t know who you are
yet we look so alike
you read the text
the whole paragraph, right?
like a deer in the headlights
you stood there statuelike
you knew it was coming yet you’re so shocked
did you never expect that one day it would all catch up to you?
the meaningless fights, the lost nights
that lingering fear came true
what happened to you?

i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (it never meant anything to me)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (i look back at the mirror, now it’s all i see)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (why did it matter so much to me)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (i left me begging on my knees)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (my youth was flying right past me)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic (how much longer can i say please?)
i’ve been called s-d-stic, i’ve been called pathetic

[spoken word]
an hour of tears deserved
i studied it front to back
thank you for your words
that’s the last thing i would’ve said at the time
i’ll take it all down
i won’t let it represent me
it’s just not healthy
it never was

it was a wake up call
and it saved my soul
i need to change
and construct my chrysalis

if someone hadn’t spoken
i would’ve been a lost cause
the past will be the past
and i’ll emerge from my chrysalis

i’ll disconnect
and step out the doors
plant my feet on the grass
as i begin my chrysalis

it was a wake up call
and i couldn’t be more grateful
i need to change
i need to change

i know we may never meet again
and i might never repent for my sins
but my gratitude is immense
and i know you’ll never see it
it felt so small to you, but to me, not at all
if anything…
what took you so long?
