the Bitter One

about

This song is more than just a track for me. I intended for it to be a little side-project. But there's nothing little about what I'm trying to say in the lyrics.
The Bitter One is the loudest song I've made so far, not so much about the music behind it but about the clarity of my words and the voice I try to bring out.
It started out as a final project for my feminist philosophy class. As I got more into it more I wanted to share it with everyone. It's about the concept of thoughts that are poorly misunderstood by many around the world which I try to shed light on. If you wanna see my theoretical background and the analysis of the lyrics, you can read it from here - www.nilgunozer.com/2019/making-of-the-bitter-one/

I hope we all can become a "Bitter One" to get free from all kinds of boundaries which are thoroughly interlocked with each other.

lyrics

Women missing in history
Do you think they’d find misery
Tasty as blueberries
To not speak up ‘bout their dignity

Suspicious of your sympathy
And what they call western chivalry
Imagine a world clean from bigotry
I know its hard to dream and also fiddly

I think it's about time we regret
The labels we put ahead
I love the peace you offer but I say

Thinking maybe there is someone
To be the one to pull a stunt
Distract our hearts from that old romance
And dance and take a chance and sing

We live in a spectrum
Free from binary
We feel with affection
There’s no boundary

Woolf, Beauvoir, and Plath
All the other we applaud
Shamelessly also hide
Behind their initials

Trying to get the most of things
While trying to get things fixed
A little bit of harmony and a riot would save me

Thinking maybe I'm the bitter one
To be the one to pull a stunt
Distract our hearts from that old romance
And dance and take a chance and sing

Thinking maybe I'm the bitter one
To be the one to pull a stunt
Distract our hearts from that old romance
And dance and take a chance and sing

We live in a spectrum
Free from binary
We feel with affection
There’s no boundary

Thinking maybe I'm the bitter one
To be the one to pull a stunt
Distract our hearts from that old romance
And dance and take a chance and sing

Thinking maybe I'm the bitter one
We live in a spectrum
Free from binary
We feel with affection
There’s no boundary
