Gotta break out

(Adrian Mallinson)

A song about someone finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the pressures of modern, urban existence and the constant struggle to get by in an environment that often feels like a war zone. A need to escape, to break out and find a place to recover and take stock.

I SOMETIMES FEEL I’M IN A CONFLICT ZONE GOTTA BREAK OUT, WANT TO BE ALONE I HIT ROCK BOTTOM WHEN I REACH FOR THE SKY I BURN MY WINGS WHEN I TRY TO FLY EVERY TIME I JUMP, I TAKE A DIVE BUT I HAVE TO GET UP, KEEP MY DREAMS ALIVE I WANT TO GET AWAY, A MILLION MILES FROM HERE I NEED SOME SPACE, SLOW DOWN, CHANGE GEAR FAR FROM THE NOISE, THE PRESSURE, AND THE HEAT IT’S GETTING SO HARD JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET I SOMETIMES FEEL I’M IN A CONFLICT ZONE GOTTA BREAK OUT, WANT TO BE ALONE I’M PUSHED INTO MAKING PLASTIC CHOICES BUT I JUST CAN’T HEAR, THERE ARE TOO MANY VOICES IT’S ALL TOO FAST LIKE FORMULA ONE AND BEFORE ITS HAPPENED ITS ALREADY DONE I DON’T NEED TO SEEK, I JUST WANT TO FIND SLOW IT ALL DOWN, A CONVALESCENCE OF THE MIND I’M LOST IN A BLIZZARD OF WORDS AND IMAGES BILLBOARDS, TELEVISION, AND GLOBAL VILLAGES I SOMETIMES FEEL I’M IN A CONFLICT ZONE GOTTA BREAK OUT, WANT TO BE ALONE

She arrived with an empty suitcase

Kicking up the carpet of autumn leaves

Curls (Girly Girl)

By Annabel Chima

This lyric specifically uplifts 'Exotical' women - women who are Mixed-race (with Black/African/Caribbean), women who have lived the 'Mixed-race Experience', or those who are constantly sought after/fetishized for 'looking Mixed'. As a DSE (Dark(er)-Skinned Exotical) myself, this Song Lyric is important to me because my phenotype and aesthetic have always been the centre of discussion/attention/speculation, especially in a sexual way. I want other Exoticals, whether Light-Skinned, Brown-Skinned, or Dark-Skinned, to feel understood and uplifted in a validating and empowering way. This Lyric focuses on 'curly hair' (type 2 waves, but more specifically type 3 curly hair) which is often a phenotype that gets fetishized by men and women of other races/phenotypes. This fetish is also seen through people trying to look like us e.g. wearing our natural curls as wigs and/or wand curling their own hair to mimic ours etc. The celebrity women I mention in this song are ICONS to me and are a great representation of 'Exotical' Beauty. I am solely giving them homage. This Song Lyric was also mildly inspired by the Exotical Movement (EGTOW) and it could be seen as 'political' but it is absolutely NOT political - it is solely to uplift Exoticals (with said phenotype). A little bit cheeky, but fun. Suitable for the following Genres: Hip-hop, RnB, Rock, Rap.
