Produced by the talented Kate Brunotts, Gemini is a reflection on my tendency to be expressive and active on social media, despite having social anxiety and being quiet at school. It explores the possibility of embracing my “two faces” through an astrology angle inspired by a conversation in which someone told me it made sense to her that I was a Gemini. Lyrics below.
lyrics
I don’t think you know me
'Cause I don’t give you clues
Find me online and
You might be confused
I’m not one for astrology
But maybe it’s true
I’ve got multiple versions
So what if I do?
A camera lens is better than eyes
So I can’t help it if you’re surprised
Maybe I’ll just claim my status as a gemini
When will we accept that people don’t just do one thing?
Sometimes I will sleep, sometimes I’ll cry, sometimes I’ll sing
When will we accept that people don’t fit into boxes?
Introverts and extroverts alike, we’re all just paradoxes
We’re all just paradoxes
You remember you asked me
If I have two faces
And maybe I do, 'cause I’m only myself, in virtual spaces
You act like I trick you
And maybe I do
I can’t help but be quiet
I can’t help but be blue
A camera lens is better than eyes
So I can’t help it if you’re surprised
Maybe I’ll just claim my status as a gemini
When will we accept that people don’t just do one thing?
Sometimes I will sleep, sometimes I’ll cry, sometimes I’ll sing
When will we accept that people don’t fit into boxes?
Introverts and extroverts alike, we’re all just paradoxes
We’re all just paradoxes
