about

This is a simple pop song about being apart from those we love during the apocalypse and how unnatural it feels to be separated from our tribes. It is about wanting our basic human needs met despite what we are told to do. The mainstream narrative has perpetuated fear and set so many people apart, we should remember our humanity and that we are not here to consume everything that modernity feeds us.

lyrics

Born To Be A Dancer

Ch
I was born to be a mother
Born to be a sister
Born to be a brother,
Born to be a lover
Born to be a dancer
Don’t want to dance alone

Verse 1
I’m not meant to live alone
I’ve been hanging round my home
I’ve been looking out the window
Talking to my mirror, waiting for my time
As I watch the seasons change
I’ve been thinking of you
When will I see you again?
Cuz I can’t make it on my own.

Ch
I was born to be a mother
Born to be a sister
Born to be a brother,
Born to be a lover
Born to be a dancer
Don’t want to dance alone

Verse 2
I’ve been walking down the park
Try to find a hopeful spark
I’ve been kicking round a football
Talking to the postman
She’s my new best friend

Ch
I was born to be a mother
Born to be a sister
Born to be a brother,
Born to be a lover
Born to be a dancer
Don’t want to dance alone


Middle Bit
Humanity, remember me,
I’ve been wasting all my time dreaming of a life, hanging round my home scrolling on my phone
How can this be right?
Since when was it wrong to ask questions ?
Since when was art so bad to question why?
Mother
Sister
Brother
Lover
Dancer
Don’t want to dance

Ch
I was born to be a mother
Born to be a sister
Born to be a brother,
Born to be a lover
Born to be a dancer
Don’t want to dance alone (remember me, remember me)
Don’t want to dance alone (remember me, remember me)
Don’t want to dance alone (remember me, remember me)

Humanity, remember me, remember me humanity come round and meet
