lyrics

Well, I ́ve never been denying where I come from
even if it ́s a place I don’t belong to.
I ́am not like all it ́s people and I guess I ́ll never be,
rumors and complaints and lies are all that I can see.
They ́re always meeting at the coffee in the morning
and chew you up without any warning.
Despite of all the miscommunication they do not fancy
confrontation no conversation at all.
Since I can remember the great world ́s my obsession
but it took a so long time until I ́ve made this confession.
Someday I might be worn out and dirty I could be,
that ́s the prize that I would pay for running to be free.
Well, I ́ll never be denying where I come from
́cause it ́s a place that I could so pretty well belong to.
I ́m not like all it ́s people, don ́t even wish that I could be
but the streets and fields I love so much is where I wanna be,
but before I settle down here so much more is left to see.

Despite all my complaints I ́m still stuck
in the same old night and day
I ́m preparing to get away, my shoes
are cleaned the passport ́s packed,
a map under my bed
The benefit of being young – is that you can faster run.

NAPAEA recommends:

In Waiting
by Pillow Queens

I’ve heard Pillow Queens at a show in Dublin. Their wild energy, beautiful harmonies and catchy melodies instantly got to me. Anytime I listen to them it gives me both uplifting and melancholic feels. NAPAEA

By and By
by Caamp

Caamp makes especially heartwarming Folk, so it’s hard to tell which album is my favorite. Currently I live in the Peach State, so the album with the song “Peach Fuzz” on it obviously has to win. NAPAEA

Past Perfect
by Crush

They’re from Graz (my all-time favorite city), their album release show was amazing and this album contains one of my favorite songs released in 2023: “The Rush”. Rush to listen to their album! NAPAEA
