guesst: i’m non-binary. “perception” reminds me that i owe no responsibility to anybody to fit neatly into their perception of my gender. i exist to challenge colonial expectations of gender and being and to reconnect with the spectrum of knowing that my ancestors practiced.
Barren: 'perception' was heavily fueled by the constant overwhelming sense that I was losing myself in the last year. guesst, one of the very few artists I admire, unlocked my turmoil with their pure, unrefined passion🖤
LYRICS //
if im so tired how can i resist to sleep
a mind on fire, feel it licking at my sheets
i place the coins atop my eyes and beg for peace
hear them conspiring a lie im incomplete
feeling the eyes on me i cannot seem to eat
im reaching for the phone again take anything to fill my head
i want to know what i already know that im not for you. an artwork that unfolds not in control of our reflection only here to train perception. ill relearn the lesson
