Ikaya - Ugly Girl

“Kiss a Pulse” is a GLOWsutra (Poetry) song inspired by a luminous Lucille Clifton’s quote I simply adore: 
“Many people wish to be poets because they wish to wear the title, but one should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated.” 

It’s like a tender, psychedelic cabaret dream wrapped in sultry smoke drifting through indie bluesy Gipsy LoFi Dub Jazz, anchored in a hypnotic upright bass that beats like a second heart. The lyrics use playfool alliterations (like I like) and quirky iambic turns, inviting you to taste the song, blush at the mystery (the deeper the butter:), and let the music move through your marrow instead of your ego—not wearing crowned titles, but breathing the rhythm, not chasing vain applause, but savoring plain awe... Blessed be the sound in our bones ✨

@bananasutra “Kiss a Pulse” #songwriter #lyrics

[Verse 1]
So many dream of poet’s fame,
Celebrate names like some lame game,
Wearing words like ego prizes…
But joy is awe, not disguises.

[Chorus]
Who writes the rain, or signs the sky?
Who dreams needing a reason why?
Blush deep, kiss a pulse, hum a song,
Feel the flavors roll off your tongue.

[Verse 2]
To want a name is not enough,
To love your life, breathe in the rough.
It can’t be faked, to live the beat,
Taste the rhythm, embrace the sweet.

[Chorus]
Who writes the rain, or signs the sky?
Who dreams needing a reason why?
Blush deep, kiss a pulse, hum a song,
Feel the flavors roll off your tongue.

[Bridge]
Why claim titles, rather than dance?
Seek magic truths, imagine chance…
Each breath’s a rhyme, each stumble, art,
Nurture ‘em sparkles in your heart.

[Outro]
Be the poem, feel its grace,
Explore shadows, shine in space,
Forget titles, laughing at thrones…
Blessed be the song in our bones.
