about

This song discusses the withheld information about my own creation and conception, being Donor Conceived by an anonymous donor.

I advocate for donor conceived people and the fundamental human right to know where you come from, have access to true and correct medical history information and the ethical importance and implications of this.

This song is about the strategic manner in which a DC person has to conduct themselves to obtain any answers about themselves, give away privacy, pay money, complete and sign forms and convince relatives that you are worthy of information.

It is about how a human's existence can be underpinned by paperwork and documentation "not belonging" to them when they are created through reproductive technologies. The title is no coincidence as crucial information can come out many after years of planned moves and waiting, with full disclosure not being desired by all parties.


Featuring Anda Perdana

lyrics

You won’t find me wasting time, Giving a story life, Royal guard for the rebel
You won’t find me wasting time, Giving a story life, Rambling mans in the cell

Clear the way for the rook, Vulnerable and honest look
The flag has fallen with the time you took, and the King crumbled the charade

I can’t walk the high road all the time, Sign on the dotted line
Like a game of chess you’ll find, It’ll wear upon a fragile mind

The most important piece they say, moves are made in such a wayThe King is never in check
The most important piece they say moves are made in such a way, Queen barely turns her neck

Clear the way for the rook, Vulnerable and honest look
The flag has fallen with the time you took, and the King crumbled the charade

I can’t walk the high road all the time, Sign on the dotted line
Like a game of chess you’ll find, It’ll wear upon a fragile mind
I can’t walk the high road all the time, Sign on the dotted line
Like a game of chess you’ll find, It’ll wear upon a fragile mind
It’ll wear upon a fragile mind
It’ll wear upon a fragile mind
