about

“A Moveable Feast” is a song about our future and past self, as Plath says “inside me an old woman, inside me a girl”. The main theme is the fear of death, growing old, as well as of the oblivion and the future, essentially the fear of (not) living truly. The song explores how the last existing trail of ourselves can be found in someone’s memory and how our homes operate as personal museums, proving somehow a main theme during the pandemic. The main idea is living each day to the fullest, as if it were our last, as the woman leaving her house prepared to not come back. Partially referring to people suffering from dementia, the song attempts to wake us up, like a dream or an archetypical myth.”

lyrics

The woman is ready, she is always prepared
the lady is sure, ain't gonna die today
she leaves her will in a safe place,
she wears her wings, her talisman rings,
a ring of fire, her blood type on her wrist
just in case she dies today, just in case
that's her cure; it's a Moveable Feast.

She scrubs her body, shining her looks,
brave and broken, in a continuous loop
just follow her books, if you drop by,
she needs a portal, she’s never been mortal
has a whistle in her bag and a Hemingway
in case she's lost today, in case she is not coming back
she'll find her way; her salt for luck.

She keeps her pills close,
she's an old soul you may say; her little life on display,
the songs she made, the trips she'll take,
It's the museum of a strange, funny, girl.

The woman is ready, she is always prepared
The lady is sure, ain’t gonna die today
her sleeping beast so numb, her angel awake
her code expires, she has no last desires
a key to her empire, her coffee black, too late
hide the flare gun inside the plant, come and play
her salt for luck; it's a Moveable Feast.

And you’ll have to pay no rent,
the horizon just flatlines, on a lifetime well spent.

The woman was ready, she’s always prepared
The lady is sure, she didn’t die today.
it was a shell shock and don’t dare you to willow
her name was random, her pain was phantom.
Just a dream, in the shape of her pillow,
go for a swim, she is ready for the sea,
just take a walk; it's a Moveable Feast.
