SILENT DANCE

[Verse 1]:

Something about the summer sun from seventh grade

When maybe none of these grumpy clouds

Were hovering up above my space

And raining cats and dogs

On all my dawgs like cataclysmic draining

Of the tears of god, I fear that I’mma

Never be bathed in rays

Top of morning

I know that I needing a

Bowl of the cereal, Cheerio,

Here we go

Racing and barely making the bus

Cause my bag always heavy with the books about imperials

Never be reading 'em

Only be keeping 'em

Just to be telling my teacher the bluff

Little do he know the only material that I be reading is lyrics by Pun

But I kept it to myself, I was a quiet kid

At least at school where nobody knew about the child within

Who’s motormouth could spin around for a couple hundred miles

But that ok with less to say my imagination louder

Doing a dance on my way to class like nobody watching

Way that I was smiling you would think that I just robbed a Baskin Robbins

Cause I was a watching a movie that I just

made up and saved inside my noggin

Where I was wearing a cape and catching robbers like I’m Batman’s Robin

[Hook]:

Kaanadha unmai (ohh)

(The unseen truth)

Ullaasa thanmai

(Is the joy in solitude)

Bathil thedum bo-dhu

Ninaivugal paarkum pol pala muraiye

(When you’re looking for answers, you dig into your memories)

Kanavugal amaiyumey, varam kettai?

(You asked for a boon to make your dreams come true)

Adhai niravaikka thani vazhi sendraai?

(To make them happen you set alone on this path)

Unarchigal uyir uyirena solvaa-ya?

(Are these passions your life you say?)

Ya-azhin osai indha paattai paadavey

(If so, sing this song with the sound of the harp)

[Verse 2] :

Something about the sober sun from 24

Making me question whether or not I can handle many more

So I made a call

I spoke to my inner child and asked him how he did it?

He said “relax, it's a simple dance, I'mma teach you how to get it”:

First move

SAY NOTHING amidst the chaos of comparison

That’s how you start to find some joy in silence of your mind again

Tuning out the noise and being your own source of music

That means no onne else gotta hear it just for you to go bust these moves quick

Second move involve

Loosening your muscles when

The tension of following your dream is too much to be juggling

Tryna figure out who we are

In this circus of posers

But painful years’ll turn a circus clown right into the Joker

So you gotta learn to heal the SUPERVILLAIN inside of you and

Ease the stiffness that come from ridicule turned to scar tissue

Cause all the compliance conditioning making it hard to move

But once you do you’ll see there’s still a little hero that’s still part of you

Final move

put a bit of work into that foot work

Sliding back and forth 'til your left right foot ain't where if stood first

Cause see where you stand now

Is with understanding that standing up for yourself when you’re weak (WEEK) is to END what makes your soul hurts

So slide like it’s the week-end

SLIDE is like it’s a SATURDAY

No point in waiting five to live your life when really you have a say

In the direction you wanna move

None of this shit is choreographed

Now that I’ve given all my moves

Close your ears and show me your dance

[Hook]:

Kaanadha unmai (ohh)
