letra de the deepest part - pegah moradi

[zinedine zidane, translated]
some words that
can hurt more than actions

[verse 1]
you ever take a pounding to the deepest part?
thinking you were sound and then it breaks your heart?
that place where no arm can breach
where no harm can reach
’til a figure of speech
comes and seeks to besiege
your memories and teaches reasons
why you need to bleach

i can’t open my mouth when there’s a harness around it
don’t act astounded
i put it there myself
to end this verse
more than a bite, i know how much a bark is worse

the deepest part, yeah
the deepest part

they say political correctness
is what’s ruining this country
a guy hears that and has a hunch he
can’t deny. he feels the words leak out of his sides
he just stands by

[zinedine zidane]
some words that
can hurt more than actions

[claudia rankine]
our very being exposes us to the address of another, she said
…there is no avoiding the word-filled sticks and stones of others. our emotional openness, she added, is borne, in both its meanings, by our addressability. language navigates this
