Shape
Unveiling Existential Conversations in "Shape" by Sophie Hunger
Lyrics
They said
Introduction to a statement made by others
"Lady or gentleman
Exploring the binary gender concept of lady or gentleman
You're either or
Emphasizing the either-or nature of identity
It's morning, it's evening
Highlighting the cyclical nature of time (morning, evening)
It's once or it's more"
Reiterating the binary choice in different contexts
What's the name yeah? What's the name yeah? What's the name again?
Questioning the identity with repetition
When I held up the roof the floor would cave in
Metaphorically describing the consequences of supporting something
Shadowboxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk
Engaging in internal struggle and dialogue
Shadowboxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk
Continuation of internal struggle and movement
Scribbling and coughing a line in the winds
Creating art and expressing in the face of challenges
Busy with oiling your sandcastle's hinges
Working on preserving something fragile
What's the name yeah? What's the name yeah? What's the name again?
Questioning identity with repetition
Stamp on the ground and the ceiling falls in
Symbolizing the impact of asserting oneself
Shadowboxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk
Reiteration of internal conflicts and dialogue
Shadowboxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk
Continuation of internal struggles and movement
Shadowboxing, monologue and we clean and we clean and we clean
Expanding the internal struggles to cleaning
Shadowboxing, monologue and we dream and we dream and we dream
Extending internal struggles to dreaming
And we dream, we dream and we dream and we dream and we dream and we dream
Intensifying the repetition to emphasize dreaming
And we go down to the beggar, to fight for a queen
Engaging in a symbolic battle for a higher cause
And it's now and forever, and we are and we seem
Emphasizing the eternal nature of the struggle
And we sculptured a statue to worship and bear
Creating an idol to worship amidst chaos
The chaos that's behind the glass of
Describing a chaotic reality behind a protective barrier
Who and what and who and what we are
Pondering the essence of identity and existence
Shadowboxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk
Repetition of internal conflicts and dialogue
Shadowboxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk
Continuation of internal struggles and movement
Shadowboxing, monologue and we dream and we dream and we dream
Intensifying the repetition to emphasize dreaming
