    Doe Maar – Heroine songteksten

    Mijn God wat ben je veranderd
    Je bent dezelfde niet
    Je had zo’n mooie mond met tanden
    Daar is niks meer van over

    En dan die blik in je ogen
    Je kijkt wel maar je ziet niet
    Ik heb je altijd gemogen
    Ze vinden je een klootzak

    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heroïne is een vloek
    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heer o wie verdient dat

    Als jij alleen was op de wereld
    Nou dan kon ik er nog bij
    Maar heb het lef eens te beweren
    Dat er niemand naar je omkijkt

    Je belazert al je vrienden
    Verneukt je eigen lief
    Besteelt je moeder voor een tientje
    Als jij maar je sjot krijgt

    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heroïne is een vloek
    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heer o wie verdient dat

    Je zegt je zit in de zorgen
    Je bent een zielepiet
    En elke dag zeg jij weer: morgen
    Stop ik met die rotzooi

    Nou het is je eigen leven
    Je moet het zelf maar zien
    Maar ik zou er wat voor geven
    Als ik je weer eens lachen zag

    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heroïne is een vloek
    Heroïne godverdomme (*2)
    Heer o wie verdient dat

    Doe maar – Heroine (Heroin), English translation / English lyrics

    My god, you changed so much, you’re not who you used to be anymore
    You had such a beautiful mouth full of teeth, no one could tell now,
    The light in your eyes is gone, you’re looking but not seeing anything anymore
    I’ve always liked you, they thought you were a cunt

    Heroine goddammit (*2)
    Heroine is a curse
    Heroine goddammit (*2)
    Heroine,who deserves this?

    You acted like no one cared, when I was here by your side,
    And now you have the audacity to say no one looked up to you
    You messed up with all your friends, screwed up your only love,
    Would steal change from your mom if it meant getting your shot,

    You said you’re in trouble, you’re a drama queen
    And everyday you repeat « tomorrow I’m stopping with this shit »
    Girl/boy, it’s your own life, you need to realise that
    But what wouldn’t I give to see you smile again

    Delusion of destruction

    Will they notice
    That the person they built
    For their life to fit
    Is nothing like me

  • 04/03/2023 – « Never a frown, with golden brown »

    You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

    If I were to write my autobiography, The Strangler’s « Golden Brown » sweet refrain would immediately come to my mind as an opening sentence. I am of Mediterranean Spanish decent and my skin turns golden in the summer. My dad’s all year. We never argue, and I never feel mad when I can enjoy the sea, the sandy colour, and like the author, a hit of heroin. Never a frown, I will be found making music, poetry, texts. But it’s not necessarily a good thing. You need get mad sometimes. I am someone who gets mad easily. I just stop when I take too much, stop doing anything, stop doing a fuss because I am just sleeping my life away, everyday. In the end, there’s not only never a frown, but never a sound. It almost took my life. I could have went from looking for peace, to resting in peace.

    The fact it plays such a huge part in my creative world right now, but also my life – some person even denying me my dying experience because I am still alive, the audacity! – I feel it would be a good start for an autobiography. It started a fair share or arguing, crying, lying, and family trauma. I’m just getting over it, and I did not quite finish the process, so if it were to start now, I would start with this, and explain how the lack of care for my mental health and late neurodivergency diagnosis as well as late disability acknowledgement played a huge part in having to find peace in the brown sands. And while it’s not every addict story, I know a fair share of autistic and adhd (audhd) people who ended up facing life threatening addiction behaviour because getting care is even more tiring than suffering the consequences of being left to deal with it in the wild.

    Hidden in plain sight

    Warmth is that spark,
    That paints in black,
    The ghostly surface, 
    Heating my solace.
