Valley Visionary
Can you see me? I’m drowning. I’m waiting for my adventure to end, and I’m wondering why life has left me.
Can you hear me? I’m screaming. I’m waiting for my call to hit the coast, and I’m wondering what life may have to give.
I stop struggling, I stop screaming, waving. I stop hurting. I stop being seen, I’m sinking.
There is a castle, and there are dolphins swimming with me.
There is a castle, and there are dolphins swimming with me.
Poseidonis has left the surface so long ago, with the remains hidden behind the knights fighting for – Atlantis.
A mermaid is swimming past me, giving me a bundle of sea flowers.
A seal is dancing with her; she is merry, hidden behind a fake smile.
The people greet me. They have so much to offer, so much to show.
The people tell me all the tales that ended up being left out in so many history books.
The people believe in me, and I believe in them, no matter what may happen.
A dolphin grabs my hand and urges me to get to the castle of Poseidonis.
A seal is demanding its time with me, and we play.
And we play…
I forget my once-human shape, I’m turning into one of them.
We have so much to tell, and the king and queen of Atlantis, they are smiling at me.
We follow the sunlight, broken into it by the ocean.
We swim.
We don’t need to eat, we don’t need to breathe…
But fully aware…
There is a castle, and there are dolphins swimming with me.
This morning, I woke up
My surroundings grew
And my family’s feeling
A whole lot of blue
They have to change their lives
Because of me
And whatever you may think,
This is not my dream
Whenever somebody finds me,
They all scream and run
If they could in my presence,
They’d all carry a gun
Whenever I eat,
Everybody’s fed up with
What I’ve turned into
Grab the apple, swift!
Throw it at me, I will die,
Wake up and I’m gone
My family’s life has turned
Into the most awesome…
Fear the night, it’s alright…
Fear the night, it’s alright…
Fear the night, it’s alright…
Fear the night, it’s alright…
Fear the night, it’s alright…
Living free was undeniably my destination
My destiny, or so it seems, without any correlation
And so it seems you came to me for love, or so you said
Lured me into the humankind, started messing with my mind
Without any hesitation, but I was born free!
I was born free!
I am a selkie!
(Don’t catch me, I got what it takes!)
I am a selkie!
(Don’t catch me, I got what it takes!)
Selkie!
(Mess with freedom, mess with me, you will see soon!)
Selkie!
I wanted to give you a chance, and so I entered void
Your world was made up of romance, and I learned to avoid
Saying how I truly felt, speaking my truth, being held
And seeing bars instead of glass, and you seemed so annoyed.
Was my presence everlasting, was this all a dream?
Was it me who wanted to leave, or was it destiny?
You chose your fate, and chose my jail,
And so we will soon see
Who you are, and who I am,
Because I was born free.
I was born free!
I am a selkie!
(Don’t catch me, I got what it takes!)
I am a selkie!
(Don’t catch me, I got what it takes!)
Selkie!
Selkie!
Mess with my mind, o humankind, you will never be me!
Mess with my head, you’ll go to bed, and never will be free!
I will bring you ships down!
I will grab my coat!
I am a selkie!
Selkie!
I am a selkie!
Selkie!
