The text is a collection of private messages sent out from different devices, by the international artists participating in SOMA SUMMER program in 2014. The text aims to describe their emotional state and impressions on Mexico city .
Life is a mystery
I know it’s been a while.
Everyone must stand alone
Of course he did! Of course you did!
I hear you call my name
people are nice but American!!!!!
And it feels like home
doesn’t feel like home
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
Each day I wake up with pain in my head
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
telling me that this city is full of everything
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a prayer, you know, I'll take you there
full of everything and everything looks the same.
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
mucho amor de los dos, fotos pronto!
I have no choice, I hear your voice,
I miss you and I throb for you…
feels like flying
exo-exo
I close my eyes, oh, God I think I'm falling
Le tremblement de terre on la meme
Out of the sky, I close my eyes,
pas senti a Mexico DF;))
Heaven, help me
des bisous
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
Each day I wake up with pain in my head
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
telling me that this city is full of everything
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a prayer, you know, I'll take you there
full of everything and everything looks the same.
Like a child you whisper softly to me
Bad crossings, no? Metaphorically speaking,
You're in control just like a child, now I'm dancing
I just want something to happen here, so it doesn’t feel like
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
an experience that has made any sense,
You're here with me, it's like a dream, let the choir sing
aspirational class, resentful class, and dog-walkers:)
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
Well, it is true. I am scared to leave my room.
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
I’m not ready to settle in here yet.
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
perpetual tourist always on my own
Just like a prayer, you know, I'll take you there
please don’t be mad, time difference’s killing me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
It's like a dream to be
This city is full of everything and everything looks the same.
