about

This is a song I wrote as a going away present for my friend Lupe.

lyrics

You say end of a coma,
but I say end of a chapter
At least for everyone here
who's been graced with your laughter

I hope you know you'll be missed, Lupe!

Lupe, you once told me Olympia
Is the worst place that you've been
As far as people making a huge deal
About the pigment of your skin
It's ironic in a place boasting to be about
Breaking down systems of oppression
That limiting people to their demographics
Is the popular obsession
But you see your friends foremost as people
And not by the ways they're identified
Because everyone is equal to your non-judgmental eyes

I hope you know you'll be missed, Lupe!

You'll be missed for your awesome threesomes
You'll be missed for your hospitality
You'll be missed for your ability
To make each birthday a special formality
You'll be missed as a yoga princess
You'll be missed as a superhero
You'll be missed for all the times you baby-sat
Kai, Scarlett, and Bandito

I hope you know you'll be missed, Lupe!

You say end of a coma
But I say end of a chapter
At least for everyone here
Who's been graced with your laughter

I hope you know you'll be missed, Lupe!

Upbeat, quirky, and just a tad bit nihilistic.
