Lyrics:

I know the truth, you know my power
Know the place, I know my grace
Keep it hot, I keep it real
But it don't matter, flash the camera
Flash your light, I'm on fire
You're the buyer, command the floor
They're all wanting more

Camera man, I think I'm ready for the big shot
Keep it hot, I keep it on the high high
Tonight, I show my true power
Higher than a tower, are u ready to see me

Flash the lights, don't hold back
I'm on track, for the stars
Flash the lights, got my fight
Got my spite, going to mars
Flash the lights, I see you
Watching you, Watching me
Flash the lights, Glamor on
Tears off, command the stage

All the flashing, all the dashing
Fuels my fight, all the talking
All the gossip, burns me high
Keep it up, and soon you'll see me
With exposure, on the top
Relieve my stress, be the best

Camera man, I think I'm ready for the big shot
Keep it hot, I keep it on the high high
Tonight, I show my true power
Higher than a tower, are u ready to see me

Flash the lights, don't hold back
I'm on track, for the stars
Flash the lights, got my fight
Got my spite, going to mars
Flash the lights, I see you
Watching you, Watching me
Flash the lights, Glamor on
Tears off, command the stage

Now I've made it, the cameras and the flashes
Dash my eyes, I stay focused
I stay boasted, I don't despise
I can see them all from the top now
All of them can only bow
They ask me what I'm going to do
Will life make the best of you

Flash the lights, don't hold back
I'm on track, for the stars
Flash the lights, got my fight
Got my spite, going to mars
Flash the lights, I see you
Watching you, Watching me
Flash the lights, Glamor on
Tears off, command the stage

Flash the lights, don't hold back
I'm on track, for the stars
Flash the lights, got my fight
Got my spite, going to mars
Flash the lights, I see you
Watching you, Watching me
Flash the lights, Glamor on
Tears off, command the stage

Released: 8/11/23

nostalgia

god is a cat

sitting on a mountain
looking to the sky
from the top of this world
everything's a crime

another time is coming
don't u look so sad
see the cat is sleeping
lying on ur head

god is a cat
(sleeping beside ur head)
god is a cat
(giving is what u get)

god is - god is a cat
(sleeping beside ur head)
god is - god is a cat
(giving is what u get)

and do u feel save?
(l do)
and do u feel complete?
(l do)
and do u feel save?
(l do)
and do u feel complete?
(l do)

god is - god is a cat
(sleeping beside ur head)
god is - god is a cat
(giving is what u get)

god is - god is a cat
(sleeping beside ur head)
god is - god is a cat

god is a cat

Giant

"Tararearte" es una de esas canciones que escribí en una etapa de mi vida en la que estaba profundamente enamorado. No buscaba impresionar a nadie, solo dejar registro de lo que sentía en ese momento: esa mezcla de calma, ilusión y esa necesidad casi involuntaria de convertir a alguien en melodía. La canción nace desde lo cotidiano, desde tararear sin pensar, pero termina hablando de cómo una persona puede quedarse resonando en ti incluso cuando no está cerca. Es simple, sincera y muy mía: un pedazo de ese amor que viví.
