Lyrics by Monray Roe
Hand-cranked Camera
Hand-cranked Camera
Verse 1:
Now that you made me your ghost
I’m auditioning to haunt you till you become like me
I was an object, not one of inspiration
You made use of me till my eyes closed forever
I was a performer
First human, then sad and lonely
You were there waiting to see my smile widen
Chorus:
A restless ghost, an endless icon
I am disclosure
A moon looking for sunlight, a revelation
They don’t know who the fuck I am (they have no idea)
I am paralysis, epiphany, unforgettable
And even their biggest nightmare
Verse 2:
They tell my souls I was so tired
Don’t they even ask themselves why I felt so bad?
Bored and disillusioned with life, I had to escape my present
They don’t even know my real, true name
They’re so clueless
Preposterous things, they believe they created me
I was a soul loved only by a hand-cranked camera
(Even now)
(Even now)
(Even now)
Chorus:
A restless ghost, an endless icon
I am disclosure
A moon looking for sunlight, a revelation
They don’t know who the fuck I am (they have no idea)
I am paralysis, epiphany, unforgettable
And even their biggest nightmare
Bridge:
I was an object loved only by a hand-cranked camera
By a hand-cranked camera
A hand-cranked camera
Can you believe
Me?
Chorus:
A restless ghost, an endless icon
I am disclosure
A moon looking for sunlight, a revelation
They don’t know who the fuck I am (they have no idea)
I am paralysis, epiphany, unforgettable
And even their biggest nightmare

Change
Change
Verse 1:
I’ve changed place many times so far
Just to breathe in the flowers and the fresh air
No, it’s not their fault, but mine
I just packed my things and flew overnight
Pre-chorus:
Now I can be wild
Now I can be free
Now I can see the light
And hear how the sea talks to me
Chorus:
I have no name, I want no epitaph on my grave
I want to be as free as the ocean
I have no clue, no friends
And one thing
I want to live for changing
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I want to change
Verse 2:
Somebody says we evolve
We don’t die, we simply mutate
This is my philosophy of life
I want freedom
This thought is the only remedy to this fear
Pre-chorus:
My mind talks so good
Physically I live in a loop
Nobody can lift my mood
‘Cause I am always misunderstood
Chorus:
I have no name, I want no epitaph on my grave
I want to be as free as the ocean
I have no clue, no friends
And one thing
I want to live for changing
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I want to change
Bridge:
Nowhere have I found the truth within myself
I’ve been travelling, navigating and flying to find no pelf
I hate my body, my face and every inch of me
I want to change
I want to change
I live for changing
Chorus:
I have no name, I want no epitaph on my grave
I want to be as free as the ocean
I have no clue, no friends
And one thing
I want to live for changing
I live to change
I live to change
I live to change
I want to change
I live for changing
