In others’ eyes, the view’s made clear Your Pavlov’s Dog I’m known Been a little more captive, a little more practiced That’s how I have to foot around you I hate the tone you’re carrying around Where half of the odds I’m blamed I just happened to have flowers, before you claimed a bouquet Is it fair to call my act the same thievery? I know, this love is tainted You’ve crushed and hulled my soul I’m your tamed and emptied tenant Who’s lost his only ego to loving you And now I’m a useless attachment You looked at me like I were barking For wagging the paradox as a norm I’m in great fear of losing your love from all its giving And that’s how my love has turned into a venom I know, this love is tainted You’ve crushed and hulled my soul I’m your tamed and emptied tenant Who’s lost his only ego to loving you And now I’m a useless attachment Whereas I had to fit in this cage Whereas I’m bound to be left the same I hear my breaths when I’m in halves Broken by your curses And I still quiver like a poorly dog No, this love is tainted You’ve crushed and hulled my soul I’m your tamed and emptied tenant Who’s lost his only ego to loving you And now I’m a useless attachment Who’s lost his only ego to loving you And now I’m a useless attachment

I got your message Again, you said to me you’re tired and I should learn let go I got your nuances It’s hard to dump him all and start over things with me Girl your heart is a locket that closes to me All the wonders you kept inside You call them messes while having yourself Airtight from me Wham wham, rolling as I am Until I hit hard into the wall When I’m approaching your heart I bounce wham wham, enough feeling like that Ringing and ringing in my head As I’m struggling to stretch Stubborn as I am, as long as the time tells You never given me the chance I’d be closing in Despite this wham wham, I’ll stay like I am Roaring my heart to you girl As you spring to your hard defense Tell me your greatest fears that hunt you down When I was sleeving out my hands Tell me the nightmares that haunt you through and through When I appear a hair like him I’m all heart also ears for you to trust me do: I’m willing and I always am No matter why you were wounded I’m full out with all my grits Wham wham, rolling as I am Until I hit hard into the wall When I’m approaching your heart I bounce wham wham, enough feeling like that Ringing and ringing in my head As I’m struggling to stretch Stubborn as I am, as long as the time tells You never given me the chance I’d be closing in Despite this wham wham, I’ll stay like I am Roaring my heart to you girl As you spring to your hard defense Si vis amari, amica mea Si vis amari, amica mea Wham wham, rolling as I am Until I hit hard into the wall When I’m approaching your heart I bounce wham wham, enough feeling like that Ringing and ringing in my head As I’m struggling to stretch Stubborn as I am, as long as the time tells You never given me the chance I’d be closing in Despite this wham wham, I’ll stay like I am Roaring my heart to you girl As you spring to your hard defense Wham wham, rolling as I am Until I hit hard into the wall When I’m approaching your heart I bounce wham wham, enough feeling like that Ringing and ringing in my head As I’m struggling to stretch Stubborn as I am, as long as the time tells You never given me the chance I’d be closing in Despite this wham wham, I’ll stay like I am Roaring my heart to you girl As you spring to your hard defense

about

A Gemini release, for the first time, expanding my songwriting on an acoustic guitar, consists of two retro pop sounding songs on the B-side of the love matter. Copied out of the daydreams with me sinking in the couch, some parts of them have remained unedited throughout the production, resting in their raw forms just as how they first rose from the mind Pensieve, before staying afloat during a quarter or two.

Disclaimer: no dogs were harmed in the making of the cover photo. ;)

[translated] "This Thursday begins with Shaw Shaw, who offers us a song that moves between the power of the synthetic and the immense decision to feel electropop at an intense and very calm level, as if it were an immaculate journey between two people who meet to dancing this proposal called Wham Wham, which is as catchy as a dance step that takes you to the limit of your adrenaline without much work. It's Canadian passion for your boring body." - Indie Criollo indiecriollo.com/2021/08/12/10-recomendaciones-diarias-del-under-mundial-para-el-oido-exigente-456/

Pavlov's Dog

Love is a major to me, but a grand experiment to you. You measure and manipulate all by imagination and like; my feelings put aside, I'm even struggling to breathe within the little space you've left, as your subject.

I hate that I'm always falling for your superfluous rewards, the rewards whenever I pump myself into your meter of satisfaction - by chance, or as well by my habituated allegiance to this trap.

Friends nailed it - I'm just your Pavlov's Dog.

Wham Wham

Dark cursor blinking to the left of the tip of my thumb, my heart sank as soon as the typing cloud broke into a short line of text. It's the same vivid blue, just like your ocean eyes, but the words on the phone blew my wishes again under the water.

You know how I love you and will make it right, but you're totally grave with a different reason, a reason he left you against a new adventure. You wham it to me, saying no one could get you salvaged.

Though it's drenched and cold, I'm still staying outside your door, because all it takes is a nod, a single "yes", before I can dash to your opening heart.
