[Lyric] Shakti (Aditi Ramesh)

Energy transferred per unit time
Sampa sang feminine energy divine
Imbalance at the root of the larger design
You hold onto yours and I hold onto mine

I’m tired of corporations only being interested in what I do on March 8th
Everything we do being scrutinised on all sides
I’m just trying to live my life

Used by brands to make them seem inclusive
Used by activists when it’s conducive
Damaged by the abusive
Objectified by them all
Our quest to reclaim our power sometimes feels elusive

When we were young playing in the sun everything thing was just for fun
We were blind to the binaries by which we are now defined
We had it all
And our joys were small
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time to lose my troubled mind
Time
Goes on
And our prejudices
Grow strong

(Wear what we want)
Freedom of expression
(Do what we want)
No more repression

Yet we seem to conform to chauvinist ideas of beauty
No stray hairs, tiny waist big booty
Or so we make it appear, make it appear

(Make it appear to make it up here)

There is no wrong or right
There is no dark and light
There is no day and night
There is no back or white

It’s a spectrum
(The colour is love the colour is love the colour is love)

Let the walls down of your tower
This is how we reclaim our power
Make your own rules sweet or sour
This is how we reclaim our power
Let the walls down of your tower
This is how we reclaim our power
Make your own rules sweet or sour
This is how we reclaim our power
