about
With “Mad is the Beast,” Moshe tackles trauma more directly than she ever has in song, singing about the hard boundaries necessary to keep herself safe and healthy. “Releasing this as a single… it takes a lot of guts for me. I’m shaking a bit,” she says. “It’s precise; it says exactly what I needed to say.” Musically, it’s a meditation — slow-pulsing percussion, echoing piano and a beautifully cascading melody. But lyrically it’s sharper-edge, with Moshe singing, “You can’t touch me anytime you want; I am not a toy. You can’t suck the air out of my lungs, or drink up my joy.” It’s a song for survivors, but a stirring listen for anyone.

Lyrics //
You can’t have me any way you want
I am not a child
No more a child
You can’t shoot your poison to my guts
Come on let it out
You can’t touch me anytime you want
I am not a toy
no more a toy
You can’t suck the air out of my lungs
Or drink up my joy
Mad is the beast you can no longer tame
It’s a different game
A different game
Mad is the beast that you cannot restrain
It’s a different game
Different game
You can’t have me any way you want
I am not afraid
No I'm not afraid
You can’t Shoot your poison to my guts
Come on stand instead
Come stand instead
Can’t be left alone
Don't leave me alone
You can’t have me any way you want
I am not a child
No more a child
You can’t shoot your poison to my guts
Come on let it out
You can’t touch me anytime you want
I am not a toy
no more a toy
You can’t suck the air out of my lungs
Or drink up my joy
Mad is the beast you can no longer tame
It’s a different game
A different game
Mad is the beast that you cannot restrain
It’s a different game
Different game
You can’t have me any way you want
I am not afraid
No I'm not afraid
You can’t Shoot your poison to my guts
Come on stand instead
Come stand instead
Can’t be left alone
Don't leave me alone

Looks like Masok done leveled up. Don't sleep on this fire. Best EP of 2021, so far.

This is soooo good. iogi is extremely talented. It's so refreshing to hear original music. The time spent into these songs is evident and as a listener, they are appreciated. I had a hard time picking my favorite song. I went with Symphony of Blue because of the Mellow to Groovy transition. It's absolutely brilliant! Bliss is a very close second. This is an amazing piece of art <3
