“I was screaming into the canyon
At the moment of my death
The echo I created
Outlasted my last breath.
My voice, it made an avalanche
And buried a man I never knew
And when he died, his widowed bride
Met your daddy, and they made you.
I’ve only one thing to do and that’s,
Be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean…
I have only one thing to do and that’s,
Be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean…
Sink back into the ocean…
“Container”
by Fiona Apple
“Ah! You’re all pushing. You’re pushing it. You’re pushing it. Just relax. Relax. You’re pushing it…
It will go out by itself. Don’t put nothing in it unless you feel it.
Let’s do it again please.”
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere inside these walls
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.”
“I shall be released”, live version
by Nina Simone
