lyrics

An unknown hand has stretched beyond my defenses, its colour known, the same colour as my time, the smell of my uncertainty, with uncourageous fingers.

I do not know where it came from, I do not know which prison freed it, I only know that it had something for me. I touched it, I wrapped myself round it and its flesh was consumed, leaving a still, cold skeleton.

In my hands the prelude of a love aborted.
I, confined in my freedom, sitting behind the bars of an open cell,
from the inside, I observe the to and fro of silence and indifference.
Handcuffed to my consistency forever...
This is my prison.
Deluded.
Here in this open cage, with high bars, I climb up to see everything from up high, and to feel moved once more.
Disappointed.
I’m sitting on top of you. I’m on my knees in front of you, but I’m higher. I’m stretched out in time.
I feel the first drops of rain, the first rays of sun, I breathe in the beginning, as always.
Excluded.
It was a long time since I touched that hand, it was a long time since a hand had raged so naturally hiding deception behind the heart, I see what is behind your eyes.

Freedom is a state of mind.
Included.
You leave and now that I have already left too and I’m already far away, much further away, I will never arrive.

I debase my dignity and base my freedom.
Recluse.

(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.
