lyrics

In this shallow, showy life, I shun to shield myself from wasting time and from misunderstandings. Alone, I walk slowly when crushed by the crowd and I run when on a deserted road warmed by the only coat I have, my coat is my flesh.

In the reeking, oh so predictable crowd, I seek to make space, aim not to break my stride. Head held high, I rend looks from the blind and deliver distinct and deafening dins for the deaf.
I greet and gather meaningless nods, the approval of fools and the stench of life unlived.
It takes courage to go where you already are.

I go and leave behind those who shout and curse behind my back, as I turn my back.

I go slowly where I am and where I remain, ever changing in my space.

They go the way of no return, a way many have trod, where there is no space to paint, where one is weary walking downhill.
I leave, but I return to where everything is I.
Mine is a torrid, deserted road, my space is empty and full of me.

And now I run.

My road is endless, a miserable life is too short to cover it all.
Barefoot, to feel the pain inflicted by stones and to enjoy the soft spaces lush with grass. I run.

(Kathya West)

about

Kathya West Milan, Italy

I was born in Milan from an Italian mother and american father.

I died on the same day.

Art was born with me, an impulse, a survival instinct, an expressive need like music.
I am mainly a musician.

I play the voice.

My main source of inspiration is everything that moves me and puts in disharmony my emotions, my impulses that express themselves and elevate in every artistic form.
