Wild Coast

from Cosmic Blues by Shunaji

/

about

Wild Coast, the second track from the Cosmic Blues EP, was written and arranged during Shunaji's solo road trip across Southern California.

The sonic elements of flute and backing vocals are inspired by and a homage to the Navajo peoples of North America.

lyrics

This is the paradox, I’m tying knots
My body electric-mechanical, sip on that antidote
Cruise through the city, I don’t need your help
Ain’t nobody fucking with me, watch me do a shimmy
Then I gotta go, jiggy in the jungle
Now you cryin’ on the floor, it’s ridiculous
Everything you do is so ambiguous

Ask me where I come from, young Latino in the barrio
Level up like Super Mario, he doesn’t like them blonde
Wassup, baby? Bae, what’s wrong? Less reality, more songs
Watch me – walkin’ off shore but then you never tag along
I draw pieces like Mahjong. First, I’m here and then I’m gone
Everybody knows the code, but it’s your confidence that shows
Signs I’ve been trying to find you, in the backseat behind you
I don’t mind if you stay, I take my body

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away…

This is the paradox, I’m tying knots
My body electric-mechanical, sip on that antidote
Cruise through the city, I don’t need your help
Ain’t nobody fucking with me, watch me do a shimmy
Then I gotta go, jiggy in the jungle
Now you cryin’ on the floor, it’s ridiculous
Everything you do is so ambiguous

I got a question, but why are you flexin’ though
Let’s move to Mexico, multidirectional,
Follow the flow, we going nowhere with nowhere to go,
I gotta leave and get back on the road,
Send me a note and then come see my show
I turn into crow, I’ll do it for sure
As far as I know, I’m a dot in the universe.

It’s a universal language, boy just answer what I’m askin’
Our division is a fraction, ollie-ollie till you fracture
I’m like darkie, Blondie, rapture,
Every hint I frame I capture,
Said I’ll let you know, catch you later though,
Waves, they come and go…

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away…

This is the paradox, I’m tying knots
My body electric-mechanical, sip on that antidote
Cruise through the city, I don’t need your help
Ain’t nobody fucking with me, watch me do a shimmy
Then I gotta go, jiggy in the jungle
Now you cryin’ on the floor, it’s ridiculous
Everything you do is so ambiguous
