lirik lagu kae tempest - i stand on the line
[verse 1]
i draw down from the well where it gathers
time is a river that carries and buries
if you wait for the right time, you’ll never be ready
but sometimes every cell in my skin feels too heavy
we all know something’s gone wrong
looking for convenient scapegoats to blame it on
with all the problems that we have to contend with
why are trans bodies always on the agenda?
i’m alive, thirty~five years dying to breathe
was on my knees, fighting panic at thе back of the stage
looking for salvation in the crowd
tryna hold it up, but i couldn’t hold it down
i was swimming, but thе waters were rising
terrified if i told the truth and stopped hiding
and said what i couldn’t bear to say to myself
i would sacrifice everything i’d made for myself
my family, my friends, the people who felt my music, would all leave
it was a belt ’round my neck
it was too big to look at square on, it kept growing
i’d known it forever, but i tried to stop knowing
thank god, for the multitudes in us
the younger selves that will not give up even when we’re inclined to
if you turn your back on the light for too long
the light doesn’t die, it just stops trying to find you
[chorus]
i stand on a line that goes back
that goes back to the dawn of my kind before that
before that, to the dawn of all time
that extends, that extends
to the end of it all, where it begins again
i stand on the line that goes back
that goes back to the dawn of my kind
before that
before that
to the dawn of all time
going in, going in
to the end where it all begins
[verse 2]
up from the rubble now, love is the muscle i train
i walk myself home in the rain
i know it hurts you when they look at you strange
misgender you intentionally, use your deadname
when they point blank refuse you, call you confusing
assault you in the street until you’re hardly moving
i adore us, i do it all for us
our warmth is a portal
we’re awkward and graceful
the place we are from is eternal
and what we embody is healing and perfect
resilience
as long as we’re getting k!lled for our differences
we have to keep living, keep living through it
thirty~seven, going through a second p~b~rty
out in the limelight like please, n0body look at me
i’m looking for myself, all i’m seeing is the bitterness
coming my way when i’m using the facilities
and how many strangers will i upset today with my existence?
skip through it i guess, keep resisting
the t’s putting hairs on my chest, spots on my chin, my emotions are not what they’ve been
i’m just trying to cause an effect
when i pause and reflect on the years spent exhausted and wrecked
i just want to go back, put it all on the deck
and say, “child, just keep going, keep drawing your breath”
[chorus]
i stand on a line that goes back
that goes back to the dawn of my kind before that
before that, to the dawn of all time
that extends, that extends
to the end of it all, where it begins again
i stand on the line that goes back
that goes back to the dawn of my kind before that
before that
to the dawn of all time
going in, going in
to the end where it all begins
