Quantic - Look Around the Corner - with The Combo Barbaro

Dance Closer to Me

I've been working on a bunch of BLOWsutra Gipsy Revolution songs—because the more I understand how mad bullshit bananas the world has gone, the more I can't help but(t) help me cope, by letting conscious, caring poetry pour out of me... And so, to help get my cortisol stress levels down, why not imagine you peeling me kindly, SHOWsutra meets FLOWsutra style, heh?! That sure is one delightfool way to nurture a brave smile, embrace the absurd, vulnerable truths we all share, and perhaps, help the universe align 😇🍌 #blessedbebananas

[Verse 1]
I don’t polish my edges, I don’t smooth out my flame, 
what you see is the voltage, not a costume, not a game. 
I don’t whisper for pity or rehearse what I feel, 
I just call it like lightning, and I call the lightning real.

[Verse 2]
I don’t sugar my meaning just to make it go down, 
if the truth makes you dizzy, babe, enjoy the way you spin around. 
I won’t package my softness like a product for the blind, 
but if you’re curious and honest, you can try to peel me kind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I know I’m a handful, but not in the way they mean, 
I’m the part of human nature that stays messy, bright, and clean.

[Chorus]
So peel me kindly, no performance, no delay, 
just a soul that likes to laugh while it’s lighting up the way. 
Peel me kindly, take your time but stay awake, 
’cause the truth is only sweet when you savor what’s at stake.

[Verse 3]
I don’t flirt with deception, I don’t bargain with my light, 
I’m a woman built for clarity, not the theater of polite. 
If my humor feels like wisdom with a twist of rebel shine, 
It’s because the absurd truth makes the universe align.

[Bridge]
I’m not hiding a secret, I’m not guarding a throne, 
what I share is what I live, and what I live feels like home. 
So if you need a safe illusion, darling, scroll another feed, 
but if you want a real connection… take a breath and take the lead.

[Final Chorus]
Peel me kindly, see the humor in the core, 
see the part that keeps on dancing while the world wants something more. 
Peel me kindly, feel the warmth inside the wise, 
’cause the sweetest revelations are the ones that don’t disguise.

[Glow-Out Outro]
If the night feels a little brighter when the truth and music blend, 
just remember every human glow is meant to be a friend. 
And the world gets so much lighter when we drop the heavy lies, 
so come shine with me a moment… let your heart stay uncompromised.
