about

To Die Only Once(rock, ballad) –“You die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” ~ Banksy. Claro came across this quote and was very affected by it. A closure to her album, it further emphasizes the last step in her goal introduced in “Baby Bug”. She wishes to have enough impact on the world and give enough to those in need so that she will have a legacy. She believes if she is going to exist in this world for only a limited amount of time, her role is to try to make it better. She will die only once.

lyrics

Asteroid in me
I've been in many places
Constructed tree
Will weep in its own fate and
Mmmm

A widow cries
Her neighbor dies
No relevance to me

Lay on our backs
and watch the racks of screens
and hear they plead

"This good soul"
"He was sitting all alone"
"Sacrificed his life
for a little girl"

How to be known
But for how long

Mmm
All that I'll feel in my low
Is a strange hole but I'll roam oh
I'm so
In the same mess as you all

But I've not been here before
So my legacy will go on
If I die twice my cause will blaze
And so will my name

I've got to steer
My own insane untainted
It's all the show
My goal is stable aided

I'm on a roll
They're on a roll
The river flows into a toll

The cost: oblivion

Mmm
All that I'll feel in my low
Is a strange hole but I'll roam oh
I'm so
In the same mess as you all

But I've not been here before
So my legacy will go on
If I die twice my cause will blaze
And so will my name

I'm here
I've tried
I've feared

Selfish little-to-numb
It's there sometimes
I'll turn it off

I'm here
I've tried
I've feared

Selfish little-to-numb
It's there sometimes
I'll turn it off

Mmm
All that I'll feel in my low
Is a strange hole but I'll roam oh
I'm so
In the same mess as you all

But I've not been here before
So my legacy will go on
If I die twice my cause will blaze
And so will my name
