SOFIA ISELLA - I Can Be Your Mother (Official Lyric Video)

I Can Be Your Mother - EP out now.

[n.g.]

"His love feels like a threat"...
I swear, she's always verbalizing feelings that I wasn't even fully aware I had experienced

[Silly_Goofy_Idiot]

"I could be a kiss, I could be a hit, let me know if you ever figure out the difference"
GIRL YOU'RE KILLING IT!!!
GIRL YOU CAN STOP BITING NOW,
GIRL HE'S ALREADY DEAD 😭👏

[J.C.-oqje]

Lyrics:

The pulse of sleep is sucking at my eyes. I’m nursing it like a baby while it’s sucks me dry. And I’m staying up, talking to a phone like god and like a mother, there is never respite. I’m sinking my hands into the piano like mud. I’m hoping and praying that I get stuck. I’m staying up, talking to a phone like god. I’m resisting the trip while I’m falling in love.

Cause you choose which one you want to rule you the best, a man or the never ending desire of success. I know which one is in my bed tonight. Dinners on the table with a pen and a knife. The meals taste like paper and ink and pain, the words are different but the song’s always the same. And while I sit and while I write and chew, I try not to make the song about you.

I can be your mother, I can be a dream, I can make it look like it never happened, leave it clean. Oh I could be your friend or I could be on my back, I could beg, I could bully, I could brace you for impact. Oh I could be counterfeit, I could be real, I could be the wound in your neck you tell your friends you can heal. I could be 500 virgins I could be 500 whores, I could be anything, anything, anything but yours. Yours.

You read to me quietly on the windowsill, our bodies will never be close enough if they tried, which they will. You either keep a close eye or a closed eye on it. I watch myself as I ride the emotional dick. Cause you choose which one you want to fuck you in place. A man or an ache In your legs backstage. I know which one gets me on my knees. Gripping my hair like I’m made of sheets. The voice in my ear says “remember the bet” I’m nodding at nothing, I’m holding my breath. Remember remember remember the bet. His love feels like a threat.

I can be your mother, I can be your mad, I could talk utter bullshit or I could be matter of fact. Oh I could be broken or I could be whole, I could be something to fix in your New Year’s resolution goal. Oh I could be an angel, I could be a jerk, make a plan to save me, you can choose if you want it to work. I could be a purity to ruin, corrupt for you to restore, I could be anything anything anything but yours. Yours.

I can be your mother, I can be your dad, I could be the family that you always wish that you had. Oh I could be a kiss, I could be a hit, lemme know if you ever figure out the difference. Oh I could be a fact, I could be a lie, I could be the truth you search for your whole life but never find. I could be your bravado, I could be gone tomorrow, I could be anything anything anything anything…


(This took me so long 😂)

Your music, to me, is fucking proof that good poetry and art isnt dead. Your lyrics are GORGEOUS, i could analyse them forever, just like i could with the perfectly powerful, mystical, and unsettling sound of the music. Thank you so so much for the gift to feminism that is each one of your songs

[Slingin_Mary_Alex]

I’m so fuc*ing happy for girls and women everywhere that find her music - this is beyond just music - pure art! I hope she inspires people to follow their dreams and make the things they want to make. So excited to for this album but also for what’s to come. Rock on, Sofia 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[richellebrunner]

She's gonna be huge. This is incredible art. I hope she finds people who will keep her safe in this journey.

[Mstabih]

This song makes my hair stand up on end and the lyrics, emphasised by the music, cut me to my core! There’s something so relatable in this young, but amazingly wise, lady! I can feel every essence of each word!

[juuzou]

This is going to be no.1 on the list of her songs I'm afraid

[abatirna]

Oh My God do I love her . F yeah . This is awesome. I've waited my whole life to listen to atleast one artist talk about these stuff and she just does it in a way i never would have even imagined 🖤

[elaamaraoui]

I was waiting for the "but yours " in the end 😆😆 LOVE ITTT

[EvrenAlyx-fkrv]

The perfect time for my lesbian awakening.

Your words carry the rage of a million women, Sapphic fury against the chains of patriarchy.

**p.s.- from one violinist to another, you’re creating something beautiful. keep playing, gurl**

[rhiskes]

Amazing! But this shouldn’t be a surprise anymore. You’re amazing, you’re a work of art.

[nemotakeit]

Your art is...something else. It opens worlds inside me I didn't even know existed. Thank you, Sofia.

[sabrinaprovenzani]

She is a total genius and we know that. I am 52 and learning from each of her song.

[d.h.]

I keep coming back everyday because all of your songs get stuck in my head and I need to listen to them until the brain worms have listened long enough. I’m perfectly happy with the fact they’ll never get enough.

[claireneethling]

Your song really brings out my suppressed feelings towards my love life and my one ex who did me so wrong... I did anything for him and anyone who was willing to come into my life, even if it meant hurting myself in the process.

It’s beautiful how both depressing and slightly aggressive the mood of the song can be and shows. How sometimes, the one partner who gives their all can sadly end up with a person, who doesn’t understand or reciprocate the love they’re given and don’t want too. Especially if you’re longing for a healthy relationship, they’ll only want one thing from you and it’s like as a lady, it’s all you’re meant for which isn’t. Like no matter how many times you visualise a different version of them or find excuses for their behaviour it’s just not worth the self-destruct. We all should be with men who wouldn’t dare to hurt us. I can see the story through your lyrics, you’re a very talented writer and I’m touched by your music, it made me cry.❤

[fantomplant]

no bc this has me in tears you're killing me with your words

[hotexwife]

it's so wonderful to hear your voice singing the words that were cut out from my mouth 🖤🖤

[SmokevoltMe]

God Damn.. 😳😳😳
Her energy hits, whether you like it or not. Powerful, is an understatement.

[Angxlbug]

I got to see her live at the trilogy tour. We got there late so I didn’t see much of it but it was really good! She definitely deserves more attention
