about

From 'The Story of Swan' a tale set to music in three acts about a quest for identity and how it is shaped in the celebrity obsessed world of the early 21st century.

We follow Swan, a girl from the 'middle-of-nowhere' on her journey for recognition, and how it leads from her small home town to the bright lights of Hollywood. From there, over the hills, to 'The Valley' and the other side of the entertainment industry; and from there to her fortune, fame and eventual fate.

In this song, she has just arrived in L.A. ,naive but determined to do what she must. Her image as a pretty young starlet must be formed, so she sets about adding to her portfolio.

lyrics

Oh, break my nose, peel my skin.
Let it out & hold it in.
And I don't know where to begin...
Don't look at me that way.
It's all I've got to use.
It's all I have to lose.
Born unnoticed...
Well, what's a girl to do?
It's true.
A gift or curse, well what's worse,
To have nothing or be nothing?
Your disdain will sustain me if I use it the right way,
And you'll pay.
You'll pay.

I'll use my legs
Use my chest,
Use my hands,
Use my hips,
Use my lips,
Use my nakedness, bare myself to the world.
To the world
To the world
Till the world knows my name.
