here i am taking off my shirt just to put another one on
i do the same thing with the shape of my mouth
can you see what i’m talking about
nothing is good enough
i am what i am, what am i, what could i become
does anyone else have questions
yes, can you please shut the fuck up
i would like to be the whole wide world to myself to everybody
but the whole wide world is everybody else to myself like it ought to be
there i go once again talking out loud like i’ve got something to say
it echos straight back right into my head
it’s got me thinking the same goddamn things
i could never be good enough
it’s a myth, it’s a legend, it’s flying for the sun
and falling down into an outcome
even atlas couldn’t hold us up
i would like to be the whole wide world to myself to everybody
but the whole wide world is everybody else to myself like it ought to be
i would like to be the whole wide world but the whole wide world just looks back at me
What does "fuvk" mean in the first place? Well, find the letter "v" on a computer keyboard, and it will strike you immediately. An unusual name for an artist, and so is her music. I don't know from which corner of her head Shirley Zhu gets all of these splendid song ideas - but nevermind, I hope this source never runs dry. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
