LYRICS
The pulse of sleep is sucking at my eyes
I’m nursing it like a baby while it sucks me dry
And I’m staying up talking to a phone like god
And like a mother, there is never respite
I’m sinking my hands into the piano like mud
I’m hoping and praying that I get stuck
I’m staying up talking to a phone like god
I’m resisting the trip while I’m falling in love
Cause you choose which one you want to rule you the best
A man or the never-ending desire of success
I know which one is in my bed tonight
Dinner’s on the table with a pen and a knife
The meal tastes like paper and ink and pain
The words are different but the song’s always the same
And while I sit and while I write and chew
I try not to make the song about you
I can be your mother
I can be a dream
I can make it look like it never happened, leave it clean
Oh I could be your friend
Or I could be on my back
I could beg or I could bully
I could brace you for impact
Oh I could be counterfeit
I could be real
I can be the wound in your neck
You tell your friends you can heal
I could be 500 virgins
I could be 500 whores
I could be anything anything anything
But yours
Yours
You read to me quietly on the windowsill
Our bodies will never be close enough if they tried, which they will
You either keep a close eye or a closed eye on it
I watch myself while I ride the emotional dick
Cause you choose which one you want to fuck you in place
A man or the ache in your legs backstage
I know which one gets me on my knees
Gripping my hair like I’m made of sheets
The voice in my ear says “remember the bet”
I’m nodding at nothing, I’m holding my breath
Remember remember remember the bet
His love feels like a threat
I could be your mother
I could be mad
I could talk utter bullshit or I could be matter of fact
Oh I could be broken
Or I could be whole
I could be something to fix in your New Year’s resolution goal
Oh I could be an angel
I could be a jerk
Make a plan to save me, you can choose if you want it to work
I could be a purity to ruin
Corrupt for you to restore
I could be anything anything anything but yours
I could be your mother
I can be your dad
I could be the family that you always wished you had
Oh I could be a kiss
I could be a hit
Lemme know if you ever figure out the difference
Oh I could be a fact
I could be a lie
I could be the truth you search for your whole life but never find
I could be your bravado
I could be gone tomorrow
I could be anything, anything, anything
I want to be u when I grow up.
This is honestly unreal sof ur making the coolest shit I’ve heard in a long time ❤
She is amazing, you both are! always nice to see my favorite artists interact with eachother❤
Thanks for bringing me here Ren. So powerful.🫶🏻
Another great recommendation from the mighty Ren. Thank you.
Thank you for bringing me here… I am still in awe… this is something else 😊
What a voice!
ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK AB THAT HIGH NOTE??!
The siren howls.
its certainly amazing that pitch
Falsetto
Perfect pitch 👌
AB?
Gone are the days of quiet rage. We finally have someone with enough scorn in her heart to say the quiet parts out loud and raise us all up. Thank you Sofia.
I love this new wave of angry feminist music. It's like the 90s girl power I grew up on finally went feral due to neglect.
❤❤❤
💗
@@joannamontgomery882I love that. It’s so very true.

I'm 54 yo woman. This art is so important Sofia. It matters to us middle age+ more than you may know.❤
Same❤
How can u please elaborate? If a middle aged woman can relate to this art this has to be definitely deeper and I need to know what I am missing in this concept video..can u please be kind enough to elaborate
@@foodishenough happily. I am just beginning to realize the oppression I've just accepted my entire life as fact. She's speaking for all my years of silence.
@@TracyCook-y7r I feel the same. I wasn't referring to the music video as such but to the mindset of the artist. The openness, the brutality of raw emotions, the implicit refusal to smile it all away and do what they tell you. We, as middle aged women were still raised to not make a fuss, to hide our true emotions, aspire to be as pretty and sexy as we can be in order to bind a man to us who will then take care of us. It didn't work out that way, none of it did. Today, I know a bunch of female artists who came to the same conclusions and have a similar agenda. I started "collecting" them when I was 17, in the 90s. The first woman who really spoke to me, my anger and fear, was P.J. Harvey. Sofia Isella accomplishes two things: she has her own artistic vision which is very unique, and: she's very very good. In my opinion.
@@evamichaelis9455 oh yes.
this isnt just music, this is art.
yes it is !!
hi claraaa
I’m 14 and this is deep
you make no sense...Music IS art.
Performance art, the term and its excellent
She needs more recognition, i really hope she blows up one day.
Ka-boom 💥
shes big on ticktock and instagram
100
Look what happened to Chappelle maybe megafame isn't for everyone
@@theonseaworthy871 ooo
no one can describe female rage and apprehension better than her.

Many thanks.
I don’t think anyone can comprehend just how incredibly and insanely powerful, inspiring and poetic her lyrics are. I’ve genuinely never heard something so profound and detailed, with every listen you understand more and more but somehow you’ll never fully understand it because the only one who does deep down is Sofia. Such an artistic, creative and genius masterpiece from the music video to the song. It’s true, us women can be used for anything, we can choose to give ourselves value. 🐇
she reminds me of young Sinead
We all can, that's why we're fans 🙂
she reminds me of Fiona Apple!
I am a renegade and I begin to appreciate the art here. Can’t wait to delve in to see her backstory and what she is talking about because I can tell she is a master.
19 ! Incredible…
❤❤❤who else just waiting for Ren and Sof to realize the collab would b insane??? We already know...and some part of me thinks they must b soulmatez...twin flames ...and this is literally the 1st time I've ever heard of her.( let me just have my daydream fantasy plz lol)
This must be such a niche combo of interests but I’m here to support you because they definitely have similar vibes
I would watch the lore behind this mv, I really wish it was a full short film😭💜💜
This is Art. Thanks Ren for pointing me here. Thank you Sofia your vulnerability and courage. 😊💜😊
Ren sent me here and this is amazing can instantly see why he would love this
Right? I'm in that boat too, and... really grad the rising tide sailed me over here, to watch another ship rise!
Yes, immediately reminded me of Ren's style and yet completely different and individual
Who’s Ren?
This is pure art. Let's lift her up and help her get more recognition. Share her everywhere and get her to 1 million subs!
Its like watching an inmersive painting, I adore the lights playfulness and how it sets space, time and the mood. Every shot is perfect and the song is flawless.
You never disappoint
The emotional expression in her voice and performance in the video is incredible, the song and video are an emotional experience, and its so genuine. The lyrics remind me of a close friends poetry, especially "I can be anything but yours" and "your love feels like a threat". The abstract way she would list all the different things she could be was fascinating, just like in this song, but the way Sofia sings the song feels like an emotional journey, and the lyricism is so deep, I love it. 🖤🐇
This is incredible. Sofia’s music and poetry hits like a cozy warm knife in the gut…it carves out your psychic patriarchal tumors and drips healing serum into your IV while you lie in bed, crying and healing. She’s a truth telling angel; a creature of profound light that blasts the darkness into the forefront so it cannot be ignored. She carries the energy of Patti Smith, Tori Amos, Ani Difranco, Bjork, Trent Reznor, Amanda Palmer, PJ Harvey and a touch of Billie Eilish. I have never heard someone so young create music with such power, boldness and sheer talent. She may be a prophet, or an alien. We may never know.
For an independent artist (I think Sofia’s a self starter), and someone who’s not old enough to legally drink yet, she seems to be soaring! I’ve been a fan since “Us And Pigs”…her fan base keeps growing steadily, and the fans she acquires are completely loyal and smitten. I have zero doubt that Sofia will reach stratospheric heights of success; it may take more time without a major label behind her but there’s nothing that can stop her now. I feel oddly proud, like the weird Xennial auntie of a genius savant. GO SOFIA!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
what a beautiful sentiment
Well put 👏 I agree 100%
Fellow RENegade here to bow before this magnificence. ❤ I hope the tide lifts your music!
When you hit that high note, you sound like an actual siren. Everything about this song is so deep, emotional, and you are a lyrical genius. It deserves more recognition 🐇
I my I love this song and I’m so glad that I saw her in the trilogy tour
Same
first on a sofia isella music video.. here before my girl blows up 🥹
here before my girl blows up !!
@@tehetqylorr STOP LYING U HATE HER
@@definitelynotclara no
Shout out to RenMakesMusic for introducing me to another incredible artist. I can't wait to explore more of Sofias music. Definitely subscribing 🔥
I was holding my breath during the whole song nearly. This is touching beautiful music. 🔥
Painfully, gut-wrenchingly, beautifully articulated. THIS is music. Just wow. I hope the doll people gets a video too. To see what visual art she envisions for that song I imagine would be just as incredible.
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life.
STUNNING! I mean so deep and dark. Love the simplicity of the video space. What the heck was that high note she hit? Crazy talented.
The arrangements are insane, the cinematography very compelled, the perfomance... incredible expression as always🦇🌑🌌💖
This has blown my heart and mind away.
I am absolutely in love with your art, your songs are painfully true to hear. As a man, as a human, as an artist, as someone who has suffered a lot from self inflicted wounds, I just feel like this emotion I feel every time is perfectly captured in what you do. Please never change. Please also meet Ren.
Commenting this so I can prove that I knew her before she blew up she truly deserves it❤
THIS IS ART OH MY LORD
she's such an inspiration. she writes beautiful beautiful beautiful songs, has an amazing voice and impressive vocals, and she also directs her music videos?????? queen shit. she knows how to make art. SHE IS ART.
This is so hauntingly beautiful.
I really appreciate how much she’s created her own style.
I’m actually fascinated.
I discovered Ren's music when he had less than 50k followers. It was an investment, now he shares great artists' music with his community. Amazing song, you got a new follower!
That's exactly what I expect from my algorithm at 6:30 am. What a great pull.. 10/10 ❤️
What a beautiful voice!!!! So glad Ren shared this!
AMAZING
Hardcore REN fan, now a fan of yours as well, just insanely good.
This song is amazing, lyric, music, video, performance, just really amazing!❤ Really grateful that Ren sent me this way ❤
Ren sent me also. Great song, breathtaking video. That lighting! Will definitely check out more.
Cinematic, operatic, haunting, powerful. A merging of The Hand Maids Tale, The Ring, Alanis and Kate.
Wow stunning vocals and the way you screamed them in this beautiful pitch of harmony
The chills keep rolling over me in waves, through each song of yours I listen to
"Oh I could a fact
I could be a lie
I could be the truth you search for your whole life but never find"
Damn. Every sentence is deeply charged with emotions. Good find. Thanks Ren.
sounds and reads like an immortal.. feels like one too. 🖤
This is next level art ❤ I’m obsessed. Great job
I'm glad I'm alive at the same time as she is making these amazing works of art. Her art always makes me feel smt. It's so complex and beautiful but it's very much raw emotion. Definitely my favorite artist
Tears ran down my face as I listened to this song. So powerful, touching, deep.
Thank you ren for tuning me on to her, that was an amazing experience, Congratz Sofia you got ren's seal of approval and mine so take my sub :) lots of love from Greece stay healthy and safe
Came here thanks to Ren, and i'm so glad he introduce me to such amazing artist! What a beautifull voice!!❤️
This is a work of art, it has it all... The vocals, the writing, the acting, and amazing videography too.
I think I would say this for all men, that have at least something in their brain close to empathy: I am sorry for the pain that was inflicted upon you. I can feel it in your music, and I will suffer it till the day I die, even knowing that it will never make up for the pain you have suffered.
Oh my god. New favourite artist
This is amazing. You have a brand new fan in me ❤ your vocal, the clip, everything. Goosebumps
Reminds me of Tori Amos in many ways. So glad to see someone this impactful and artistic coming up❤
I LOVE YOU SOFIA ISELLA, IVE BEEN LISTENING FOR SO LONG AND YOURE MY FAV ARTIST
This woman is the embodiment of feminine rage. I love it.
IM SO EXCITED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SOFIAAA IM SO GLAD I SAW YOU AT THE TRILOGY TOUR!!!
The meaning that found me...I struggle to articulate. This moved me so profoundly. Thank you.
Kate bush early days, fiona apple & tori amos, but not the same, her amazingly beautiful, very harsh and dark words make a strong, sad deep song hang in its own space. Love it
Wow! What an amazing song, artist and video! Thank you! Your talent is incredible!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Holy crap. Thank you Ren for bringing me here!
Love a flashing light warning, thank you very much ❤ I can only listen, but I’m so thankful I know how to safely enjoy your art
ART - I am inspired and humbled by her creative greatness.
Ren suggested your music, so I checked out this video. I am subscribed. I'll be checking out more because this song does it for my ears. 👍
Came over from REN’s recommendation. You’ve got a great sound. Well done.
Just discovered you... loved this song and am really intrigued to hear what else you do... beautiful song! 💕
Reminds me of Kate Bush and Ren both stylistically in ways I didn't know were possible. Found you through him, will now continue to binge, thank you for being another voice that speaks to my soul.
This made me cry and I'm listening again. Beautiful. ❤
Me too
I’m so glad my favorite artist Ren sent me ur way, I’ve just found another fave. So powerful. Thank you.❤
You did a great job at directing this video. Your voice is beautiful. Truly an Artist. Thanks to Ren for introducing you to us
I am absolutely speechless. I wasn’t expecting for this to penetrate my soul like that. This was so strong and so well thought through.
This is genuinely one of the greatest songs I've ever listened to. Even though I personally didn't find it to be my kind of song (I don't tend to listen to this genre), it still really touched me with the combination of your beautiful singing voice, paired with the concept of the music, paired with the video, caused watching this music video to be one of the greatest musical experiences I've had.
This is NOT a song. This is an artwork that I desperately hope does not go unnoticed by the general public, but at the same time, I want it to remain hidden and untouched, so that people can stumble across it in much the same manner I did and uncover something they've not heard of or seen before. I cannot overstate how excellent an artist you are.
Ren sent me and I'm so happy he did you're amazing ❤❤❤😮
Girl I need you to make a video just talking about how you write your songs the lyrics are fuckin incredible I’m very curious on your whole process of doing that
Isella is truly in love with words
The truth of my soul right now made into art so that I can actually understand wtf is going on in my life.. thank you ❤🙏
Your songs have so much meaning and they’re so profound I’m probably too dense to understand what the hump thing on your back is could someone explain please
Look up the interview she did with NME she explains about the bump. I'm not gonna say here just incase it's a spoiler but also so viewers can interrupt what they will from the video :)
I’ve been listening to her music since 2020 hope she gets recognized by more not many know of her
This is stunning, was recommended to me randomly and the next day i noticed Ren is sending us your way too. Looks like i was destined to find you either way. Gonna listen to the rest of your work now, please keep going, you're amazing ❤
Make me crying. Deep inside. Bravo.
Simply stunning. Can't wait to check out more of your work! Peace friend.
grateful to live in the same time as you queen
Holy sh** .... blew my mind!
I love you so much you have come so far I'm actually so proud and wish to meet you one day your my favorite artist ever 🐇❤
This was so outstanding. So captivating. When you walked into the room with candles it was so beautiful and heart wrenching. You have a new fan I’ll be watching everything. So glad REN and some of the Renegades shared this with me. ❤️❤️
THIS 👏 IS 👏 ART 👏 lyrics were perfect, vocals perfect, music video perfect 10/10
Showed up by Rens' recommendation. Definitely performance art, the song sounds like one hell of a dope poem🙂 from one artist to another, great work! Loved the voice at the end, powerful💯

Thanks Ren, beyond amazing Sofia. Floored.
