Name: How About It?
Duration: P00H03M28S
Description: Turning a blind eye doesn’t come naturally to The Deep Blue. ‘How About It?’ attempts to describe how it feels when the mere thought of being in your body puts you in danger. It’s poetic and is bound to make you want to move. It's a bop but, at its core, this is a protest song. A soft f-u to the patriarchy.

lyrics

Turn the radio down, turn the TV off
Feeling comfort in a quiet way
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know
What I know they’re gonna say

Filling up with words and reasons
While we’re choking on the blame
It’s a feeling you’ll never know
Tale a deep breath in, it don’t feel the same

How about it?
I feel safe when I’m alone
How about it?
Sounds nice

Shed my skin, leave it at the door
Leave my here, I know I know
It doesn’t hold me as before

In this feeling of familiar
In the comfort of my name
Take a deep breath in, it won’t feel the same

How about it?
I feel safe when I’m alone
It’s after dark and I’m daydreaming walking home
No heavy heart and knuckles white
Never think twice
How about it?
Sounds nice

I feel safe when I’m alone
Walk me home
When I’m alone

How about it?
I feel safe when I’m alone
It’s after dark and I’m daydreaming walking home
No heavy heart and knuckles white
Never think twice
How about it?
Sounds nice
