Sculpture
Kooma feat. Veela Lyrics

Give me something like your skin
Give me something personal and intimate, like your skin, that I can use as a material.

Give me something like your eyesight
Give me something valuable and important, like your eyesight, that I can use to guide me.

Something you will miss dearly
Give me something that you hold close and will miss when it is gone.

To carve me alive
To use your precious possessions to create a sculpture of me, making me come to life.

Give me something like your skin
Again, asking for something personal and intimate, like your skin, to use as a material in the sculpture.

Give me something like your eyesight
Again, asking for something valuable and important, like your eyesight, to use as a guide.

Your ability to hear me
Asking for the ability to hear and understand me, to make sure the sculpture accurately represents me.

Rock, marble and ice
Mentioning the materials that will be used to create the sculpture.

Tell me now if you can breathe okay
Checking in with the person to make sure they are comfortable with the process.

I'm gonna take you home
Taking the person's possessions and using them to create the sculpture.

Look around, do your pupils dilate?
Checking to see if the person is excited or nervous about the process.

Good cause I'll need those
Noticing the dilation of the pupils and mentioning that it is helpful for the process.

I fell off again
Admitting to making mistakes or failures in the process of creating the sculpture.

And I know
Acknowledging and accepting the mistakes made in the process.

I'll be here for a while
Understanding that creating the sculpture will take time and patience.

I've got to know you
Saying that getting to know the person is important for creating an accurate and meaningful sculpture.

No, it's not you
Clarifying that it is not personal, but simply the process of creating art.

I do this to everyone
Explaining that creating sculptures out of personal belongings is part of the artistic process and not unique to this one person.

Tell me who you are
Asking the person to reveal more about themselves to create a more accurate sculpture.

Open up your scars
Asking the person to share their vulnerabilities and past hurts to create a sculpture that reflects their true self.

So I can free my own
Saying that finding similarities in someone else's struggles can help to heal one's own wounds.

Maybe if I take
Proposing the idea of taking one of the person's struggles and incorporating it into the sculpture.

One of your mistakes
Suggesting using one of the person's mistakes or failures as inspiration for the sculpture.

Into my work of art
Incorporating the person's struggles into the sculpture to add depth and meaning.

I will confirm it's
Saying that using the person's struggles will confirm the truth and authenticity of the sculpture.

Suddenly perfect
Mentioning that incorporating the person's struggles will make the sculpture more powerful and meaningful.

You can give it a heart
Asking the person to give the sculpture their approval and love.

Don't be so hasty
Asking the person to be patient throughout the process of creating the sculpture.

You're gonna break me
Acknowledging that the process of creating a meaningful sculpture from someone's personal possessions can be emotionally taxing.

We've got to take it slow
Reiterating the importance of patience in the process.

This could take a while
Acknowledging that creating a meaningful sculpture takes time and effort.

It's Hollywood
Suggesting that the process of creating a meaningful sculpture is like a dramatic movie scene.

Tell me now of what stuff you're made
Asking the person to reveal what they are made of, emotionally and spiritually.

Material and all
Asking the person to reveal their deepest thoughts and innermost desires.

I wonder if we're built the same
Wondering if the artist and the person being sculpted share similar qualities and experiences.

Or not at all
Considering the possibility that the artist and the person being sculpted have nothing in common at all.

I'll write you a paragraph
Promising to write a meaningful description of the sculpture to accompany it.

To thank you for your soul
Thanking the person for sharing their soul and being vulnerable in the process of creating the sculpture.

I'll keep you safe behind my mask
Ensuring that the person's identity and emotions will be protected and remain anonymous to others who view the sculpture.

I'll put us both on
Saying that the sculptures represents both the person and the artist, and that it is a joint creation.
