about

When a huge pandemic adds up to an ongoing social injustice, people start dealing deeply with who they are and they finally start paying attention to the world’s issues. In an abstract and implicit way, this song is just about that.
“Isn’t the skin I wanna wear” refers to someone ashamed of what his culture represents and stands for; it could be somebody who doesn’t feel his origins as his own or a person so tired of having a whole life affected by how he looks. Nevertheless there is a hope for a real change in our society, at least in these lyrics. “Distant from space and time, I’m moving, suspended in the air, don’t you dare, I’m aware, I’m floating yeah”: the protagonist goes in and out of an awareness aura, escaping in a personal fantasy space where she can erase all the bad.
