megan dhakshini - now you see red lyrics

should i tell you
what i know now
my girl?

that this crimson smear
is only a warning
of all the red you will greet
and meet and slip on, that
you will be known
by many names that
are not your own, that
your prefixes and adjectives
will sink or celebrate your
worth and wellbeing, that
you will be a goddess because
your body is a temple, but
maybe not yours to pray at
till you finally find your way there..

should i tell you
what i know now?

that you’ll wax and wane with
the moon and the pain will
shrink and grow with her too, that
greedy fingers will always reach
out for a taste and maybe you
will be a feast for a few too, that
l+st and longing and all the lurking
disguised as love will change the
light in your еyes, that how high you
hold your head will detеrmine how
well you navigate all of the lies
designed to shame and maim
your voice, that ‘beauty’ is a bad word
that will weave itself into every layer
of your life, that you will either be
beautiful or beautiful inside like all
of the ads selling stuff and
rejecting them will tell you..
should i tell you
what i know now?

that there is no right way to be, no, never;
that you are what your closest and most+well
meaning people tell you, you are, that
mirrors will make and break you and
you will break some too, that your heart
oh your heart, is like water and like
steel and also just a piece of flesh covered
in crimson, but not the same dirty, muddied
crimson that leaves you month after month
year after year putting you in your place
ruling your sp+ce and giving people
permission to tell you what how when you should be
could be would be, baby
that you hold the strength of the universe yet
your eyes will spill over and flood your worth
that you will fall and break and bruise and
rise up and walk your way out of every rut
that you are designed to provide
and be precious
that your purpose is a pursuit
and your existence is wondrous
wondrous pain and pleasure and
a battle in waves, every
step of the way
should i tell you this?

+ now you see red
