[Lyric] Things (Kid Chocolat)

I would sit on a chair for most of the day, just staring ahead
I could sink in a tiny stain and be absorbed completely
A tiny stain could hold my attention for three, four hours
Without needing to look away from this microscopic world

I felt that objects bothered me and this was very painful
They didn’t do anything special
They didn’t attack me directly
They didn’t speak to me
They bothered me because of their presence
I perceived objects as if they were detached from one another so smooth, like minerals; bright, tense, they terrified me
And when I looked at a glass
I didn’t understand its use, its function
A glass wasn’t a water container anymore
No! It didn’t have a name, a function, a meaning
It was just an object, and this object began to exist on it's own
This is what scared me so much
In this surreal place, in the silence of my perception
The object suddenly appeared
This glass was there, in front of me
Teasing me with it's presence, it's existence
I had to look away, I was so afraid
But then I would start looking at a table, a chair
Which also existed, manifested with their presence
I tried escaping by saying their name
I would say ‘glass, table, chair’, this is a glass, this is a table
But the word was detached, it didn’t have a meaning
On one side there was the living thing laughing at me
And on the other there was the name, meaning less
Like an empty shell I couldn’t bring them together
And I stood there, facing them, so frightening
So I would start moaning
Objects bother me, I’m frightened
Objects bother me, I’m frightened
Objects bother me, I’m frightened
Objects bother me, I’m frightened
