Clay Me
Sculpting Dreams: Instupendo's Poetic Journey in 'Clay Me'
Lyrics
It’s a quiet thing
Expressing that the subject of the song is subtle and calm.
Just like me
Comparing oneself to a quiet thing, emphasizing a reserved nature.
Sculpting
Suggesting the act of creating or shaping, possibly one's identity.
With alchemy
Referencing a mystical or transformative process, using alchemy metaphorically.
Little Clay me
Describing a figurative representation, possibly the artist's creation.
But just a broken piece
Acknowledging a broken aspect of oneself, vulnerability.
Still hiding
Suggesting that vulnerabilities are still concealed in small aspects.
In these little things
Implies that the broken piece is still present in subtle details.
Open the medicine
Opening up to healing or self-medication.
Say goodbye needles and pins
Farewell to pain, embracing positive influences.
Welcome all your friends in
Welcoming positive changes and connections into life.
I wonder when the dream will end, oh
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of a positive phase.
I did it again
Admitting to repeating mistakes and heartbreaks.
Broke my heart on the simplest whim, oh
Reflecting on breaking one's heart over simple desires or decisions.
I hear sentences in the wind
Perceiving meaningful messages or insights in the natural world.
You’re my only friend, you’re my only friend
Emphasizing a lack of companionship, with the wind being the only friend.
All my friends are real
Asserting that the artist's friends are genuine and real.
I swear
An oath or promise that the mentioned friends are authentic.
I met them all last year
Claiming to have met all friends in the previous year.
You ask me,
Prompting a question about the return to normalcy.
“Wow, are you normal again?”
Explaining the impact of imaginary friends on perceived normality.
This is what happens with imaginary friends
Highlighting the consequences of having imaginary friends.
I hold it tightly
Expressing the act of holding onto something tightly.
At the seam
At the seam could symbolize vulnerability or fragility.
Slow down
Encouraging a deceleration or pause in life.
My heartbeat
Connecting emotions or experiences to the rhythm of the heartbeat.
Missing an eye
Describing a physical imperfection, possibly representing personal flaws.
And a few teeth
Highlighting additional physical imperfections, indicating vulnerability.
Just sitting there
Depicting a passive, content state of just sitting and smiling despite imperfections.
Smiling
Blank line, serving as a pause or transition in the lyrics.
All my friends are real
Reaffirming the genuine nature of the mentioned friends.
I swear
Recalling the time when the artist met these real friends.
I met them all last year
Repeating the question about returning to normalcy.
You ask me
Reiterating the impact of imaginary friends on perceived normality.
