For Your Consideration Lyrics English Translation by Mon Laferte
Va de arriba
I don’t like admitting that I’ve turned into a product
I confuse being admired with being loved
Maybe it’s the traffic of Likes or it’s the marketing
Don’t ask me for consistency, I don’t believe in religion
I’m tired, but again I force myself to work
Guilt, capitalism, neoliberalism, optimism, they won’t let me rest
I should think about being more considerate
But please, for your consideration, I gotta be part of it, I can’t stop
When I get sad, I find understanding online
And not figuratively, ’cause I’m anti-fake
Anti-actress, anti-singer, anti-Hegelian
I’m a silly feminist, I’ve got nothing to lose
Let the world burn, I’ve already won, improv
To be or not to be, that’s the dilemma
My body pays for what my name earns, like a sentence
It’s therapy or I sell intimacy, songs with ego and insecurity
It’s not ambition, it’s survival
And being honest, no, I have no clue what I’m doing
I wanna sit in the bathroom staring at my phone with my legs asleep
Get fat in peace with no human interaction, binge-watch shows all day
But I gotta keep going, the world demands I keep going
So I’m asking you, for your consideration
