Kimono is a song about adapting, finding your identity in a more polarizing world. Growing up with mixed roots I found myself battling with cultures, wanting to progress but still stay true to my heritage. This song is a reflection of that process.

You caught me
trying to be clean
but every truth or sin is
exposed by transparancy
Trying to be young
but I cannot outrun
the acts of my ancestry
I only have my love to give
don’t let the past come inbetween us
tell me why it is all mine to fix?
I need a kimono, kimono
bearing on my skin
trying to hide
in a sea of colors, of colors
trying to fight the thought of
you inside my head
Mimicry
adapting to the lies
and trying to survive
as part of my strategy
You swept me away
by promising to stay
and clean up the mess in me
Oeh, I only have my love to give
don’t let the past come in between us
tell me why it is all mine to fix?
I need a kimono, kimono
bearing on my skin
trying to hide
in a sea of colors, of colors
trying to fight the thought of
you inside my head
I need cover bearing on top of my skin
trying to hide the struggle that lies within
you unraveled me for everyone to see
that I’m no mystery
Kimono, kimono
bearing on my skin
Trying to hide
In a sea of colors, of colors
