When this was written I realized that making music is sort of similar to the process of accepting yourself-you can’t censor or change what comes out of your heart or people wont relate to you. If it’s truly you, people will hear it and they’ll celebrate it. So basically keep being you, and anima! Will keep being ANIMA!
The third second single from our upcoming album Grow Your Garden dropping on May 10.
lyrics
You’re a boat in the ocean of everything that you reach for
It’s sea of
Your perceptions
And it’s filling up, giving a human a reason to give in
Overflowing
With intention
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Just sittin’ on a shelf
All black and white
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child
Keep swimming on, pushing for, picking up what you think will
Make you better
Make them want you
But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing
When you’re looking
What's ahead instead of what’s around
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Just sittin’ on a shelf
All black and white
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child
