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
every inch of you
every pinch’ll do
nothing like a bit of syntax
that’s a sin tax
on a brown back
that’s when my chest gets heavy
and my palms get sweaty
and i think maybe it’s petty to get
unsteady from this threat he
doesn’t know much better than to p-ss on
but somehow these are syllables i can’t p-ss on
[zinedine zidane, translated]
i’d rather have been punched in the face
than have heard these things
[verse 2]
we want discourse, but what’s the best course
of action? better to cut on the language that stings
the aggressions of the smallest degree? i agree
but then we try so hard to be honest
avoid stings but we’re by the wasps’ nest
i pick my words like blackberries with thorns
how come no one wants to take the bull by the horns?
in this discussion we’re all painfully mourning
our oppression but there’s a facade that our words ain’t ignoring
the same heavy weight of controlling
our own lexicons, we’re conforming
to restrictions we think are according
to inclusivity, but where’s the outpouring?
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
