In this song, Moses sings about not wanting to be defined in a world obsessed with labelling everything. The themes from the previous track, “ also also also and and and ”, carry over to this one, where Moses looks at himself through a kaleidoscope and assumes his multiplicity. This realization seem...
[Intro]
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo
[Verse 1]
When I was a little boy
I'd scream at vague misty nights
Yet breathe out smoke with no fire
I’d become one with what I was scared of
I fell in love with the in-between
Coloring in the margins
Yet the romance of the undefined
Was a threatening lie in their eyes
[Chorus]
They say, "Oh, who is he?"
Nobody
"Hello, who is he?"
Nobody
[Verse 2]
I'm not at peace with dying alone
But I'm not at war either
No, I am planted on the shore knowing
The ashen tide may or may not rise
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause in the valley of the sure
You cannot be neither/nor
You're fated to pick a door
Only the lonely are lukewarm
[Chorus]
They say, "Oh, who is he?"
Nobody
"Hello, who is he?"
Nobody
[Bridge]
Yeah
Yeah
Ah, yeah
Hey
Is it a ghost?
Is it a plane?
Is it a shiver down your spine?
Is it delusion?
Is it confused?
Is it contusion of a hard-earned truth?
[Outro]
No, it's nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
