BaioAbout
“The Names” is the title track off of Baio’s first album.
In an interview with KultureBloggen, Baio says “The Names” is “a little bit [about] depression, you’ve lived a week without a name, that’s the idea of how you interact with someone. That’s maybe a metaphor for being a recluse or shut-in.”
The Names Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can do it
Like the one you'd never want
I can lend it
Sinister like his last thought
He played his hand
You needed time
You found your place when you fell behind
You can make it
Disappear without a voice
See you by the windowsill
Delicate like elders' wills
See me in a distant land
Recognize I've fallen mad
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a line I won't cross into another shadow
There's a line I won't cross, I don't wanna look that way again
But there's a line I won't cross into another shadow
There's a line I won't cross, I don't wanna look that way again
[Chorus]
You lived the week without a name
I kept discreet cause that's my way
Inside the world we fell into
I played the role and so do you
[Verse 2]
I can do it
If it's really what you want
I can mend it
If you give it a shot
See me in my maker's hand
Unknown like another's plan
See you by the empty shelf
I don't want nobody else
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a line I won't cross into another shadow
There's a line I won't cross, I don't wanna look that way again
But there's a line I won't cross into another shadow
There's a line I won't cross, I don't wanna look that way again
[Chorus]
You lived the week without a name
I kept discreet cause that's my way
Inside the world we fell into
I played the role and so do you
[Chorus]
You lived the week without a name
I kept discreet cause that's my way
Inside the world we fell into
I played the role and so do you
