Your Shadow In Mine ft. Y0GA Lyrics

So, we moved to this country when I was five

And obviously, you know, that's such a huge change for me

Picture this, yeah, you're in year one in primary school

And you're in a completely new country

Everything in your life has changed

All your friends and your extended family, they're so far from you

The food, the food's grim

The weather's mad, it's freezing all the time

Even the cars that people drive, everything's just mad, everything's just different

Even the people that you're surrounded by now, everyone's just so odd

They speak English weird and they're so pale, like, why are they so pale

I don't get it

They even dress, they even dress odd

Low-key, it feels like I'm surrounded by aliens

It's funny, I'm so confused

I've had a difficult start to school life at this point, yeah

I'm beginning to settle in, making friends here and there

But naturally, I just want to make some more

We're in class now, yeah

Everyone's just getting into this colouring activity, just colouring away

It's almost time for morning break

I'm mashing it up, I'm mashing it up

And everyone around me is chatting about, what are we going to play at playtime

What are we going to play at playtime

Perfect opportunity, obviously

So I turn around to one of the boys that are chatting near me

And I'm like, can I play too

And he goes something like, no, go back to your mud hut

And yeah, that moment plants a seed

It plants a seed

And over time, that seed grows

And it kind of blooms into this realisation that even though you're in this strange land

strange place, strange people around you

They're not the aliens

You are

And you always will be
