Wallpaper

by Renee Goust

about

Wallpaper was born from my attempts to reconcile being an ideal daughter and being a self-assured autonomous woman, and all the conflicting feelings that live in between. This is a song about evolving far from the nest, then going back home.

lyrics

Going back home
tears up my eyes
The house looks different
But at least grandma’s alive

I just float
Like a waving curtain
My clumsy steps
Walking these floors uncertain

Our time has passed us by now
It’s just doing its job
Cuz I’m the wallpaper that you peeled off
When its colors let you down

I grew into my own self
You found me inappropriate
So when you’re done muting my sincerest voice
Would you please take down my portrait?
So when you’re done muting my sincerest voice
Would you please take down my portrait?

Cause I’m taking yours down
Taking yours down
Taking yours down
Taking yours down

Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?

Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?

Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go, now?

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
And where do we go from here?
