raiders - mogli lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
somewhere in my lineage, i was halved
split in two
robbed of my heritage
do you even know what that means?
do you even know what that means?

[verse 2]
how do i come out of hiding?
when there’s so much shame, how do i reclaim my identity?
when that would mean to condemn them, ’cause i am them, am i not?
when that would mean to condemn them, ’cause i am them, am i not?

[verse 3]
oh, but i do condemn
this condemnation of myself has been my sanctuary
for too long, i found safety in it
it felt tokenistic to say it out loud
“i belong to the victim sidе”

[verse 4]
but slowly, i realize
that that’s their languagе
victim
though they would never call themselves raiders
though they would never call themselves raiders
raiders
[verse 5]
you lost your land, but you are no victim
you lost your land, but you are no victim
there’s nothin’ more defiant than a woman with a belief
this is my home
this is my home
this is my home
this is my home

[verse 6]
have you seen their eyes?
more often now, they look back at me
when i look in the mirror
it’s not just anger
there’s a pride, a fire they can’t put out

[verse 7]
these days, i feel shame too
for not embodying you
i guess this is my path
as my soul remembers
i am you, i am them too, like a tree split in half
through lightning, i am you, i am them too, i am

[verse 8]
tending to your wounds and theirs and mine
i am me
i promise i won’t stop till all the guilt is gone
one day, i will stand tall
one day, i will stand tall
