Shooting this section of the Divine Diva Tour came with the unexpected price I had to pay here. It was the hefty price of shame and humiliation, and the pay-off was a hearty dose of laughter at my own expense – a lesson worth more than anyone could ever afford. But there was something more serious at work, and upon this turn of our Fairy’s Tale the kaleidoscopic nature of the project comes into better focus. This marks about the tenth persona/image featured in The Divine Diva Tour, and it is here where we see that one of the main tenets of the project is its shifting nature: the masks and guises we wear, the characters we play and inhabit, all of whom work together to make us the singular presence the world thinks it knows us to be.
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, that’s lifeTryin to make ends meet, you’re a slave to money then you dieI’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been downYou know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah…
No change, I can changeI can change, I can changeBut I’m here in my moldI am here in my moldBut I’m a million different peopleFrom one day to the nextI can’t change my moldNo, no, no, no, no(Have you ever been down?)
Well, I’ve never prayed but tonight I’m on my knees, yeahI need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeahI let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free nowBut the airwaves are clean and there’s nobody singin’ to me now
No change, I can changeI can change, I can changeBut I’m here in my moldI am here in my moldAnd I’m a million different peopleFrom one day to the nextI can’t change my moldNo, no, no, no, no(Have you ever been down?)I can’t change, oh, noI can’t change, oh
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, that’s lifeTryin to make ends meet, tryna find somebody then you dieI’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been downYou know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can change, I can changeI can change, I can changeBut I’m here in my moldI am here in my moldAnd I’m a million different peopleFrom one day to the next
I can’t change my moldNo, no, no, no, no
I can’t change my moldNo, no, no, no, no,I can’t change my mold, no, no, no, no
It’s just sex and violence, melody and silenceIt’s just sex and violence, melody and silenceI’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been downI’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
