I always keep my finger on the trigger | Original lyrics by Cecilia Elise Wallin
I always keep my finger on the trigger
when I walk
in the solemn landscapes
where the past and present linger
but where there is something more
Walking here in the past and present
tense I can sense more intense
how my concepts are beautiful prey
and placeholders
radiating by the power
and uncertainty they cover

A rapper’s duty | Original lyrics by Cecilia Elise Wallin
A rapper’s duty
When you’re hired to
execute
you shoot to miss
because your style is
not submissive
You’re so
Eager to destroy every decoy
written and seen,
deploy poetic devices, oh boy
to set the scene
You know what I mean
Accordingly rapping with grace
Employ it all beyond face value
the value you face
the meaning you trace
aiming astray
til what none betray one day
Try to say what no one can say
Like self-selected, undetected,
leaving a vestalian duty
Just so.
It is there for you
In all its beauty
With all its light, mights and highs
in the daylight air and right flair
All for you to Enjoy
Fleeing astray
til what none betray one day
Try to say what no one can say
Like self-selected, undetected,
leaving a vestalian duty
That high feeling of
certain uncontradictable freedom
Sure to never
Let it go
cause what is eternal
Can never be let go of
An innovative love
Walking astray
til what none betray one day
Try to say what no one can say
Like self-selected, undetected,
leaving a vestalian duty
You’re longing so precise & sincere
unvocalized roaming here
Draw power lines in thin air
Wicker than Shakespeare
Turn the tables fast and quick
So consequences will last and stick
to cast their cast on every text –
what’s present past and next
See the outcast sentience in you
capriciously negotiate with the story
it shapes
for your escape
To what extent can you comprehend
before the sudden insight shells
All the carefully crafted tales you
Tend to tell yourself
Like when the blood is pumping from
your wound after a minor accident
When realizing is an adrenaline
facilitated event
It’s all games till the plot thickens
with unpreceded interventions
The same scene but different intentions
With no cheap tricks & pretence
Hint at the instance that makes most sense
Guided by an ancient longing for accuracy and offense to find happiness and joy in independence.
