semente Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Lhasa de Sela died of cancer at the age of 38. She was invited to ideaCity to talk about the song I'm Going In which featured in her third and final album Lhasa. I'm Going In When my lifetime had just endedAnd my death had just begunI told you I'd never leave youBut I knew this day would come Give me blood for my blood weddingI am ready to be bornI feel newAs if this body were the first I'd ever worn I need straw for the straw fireI need hard earth for the plowDon't ask me to reconsiderI am ready to go now I'm going in I'm going inThis is how it startsI can see in so farBut afterwards we always forgetWho we are I'm going in I'm going inI can stand the painAnd the blinding heat'Cause I won't remember youThe next time we meet You'll be making the arrangementsYou'll be trying to set me freeNot a moment for the meetingI'll be busy as a bee You'll be talking to meBut I just won't understandI'll be falling by the waysideYou'll be holding out your hand Don't you tempt me with perfectionI have other things to doI didn't burrow this far inJust to come right back to you I'm going in I'm going inI have never been so uglyI have never been so slowThese prison walls get closer nowThe further in I go I'm going in I'm going inI like to see you from a distanceAnd just barely believeAnd think thatEven lost and blindI still invented love I'm going inI'm going inI'm going in "Science draws the wave, poetry fills it with water" Teixeira de Pascoaes HQPlayer Desktop / Mac mini → Intona 7054 → RME ADI-2 DAC FS (DSD256) Link to comment
