about

Agon Branza dives headfirst into the uncomfortable waters of self-awareness for his debut single “Glitter Guns”.

It is nothing short of a rhapsody, its lyrical content reading just as a poem, reflecting on the paralysis we as individuals can feel in the face of normalised oppressions. “Glitter Guns is an inner dialogue on how apathy can take over in the face of overwhelming prejudice and discrimination when change seems next to impossible”, Agon says. “In the end, it all boils down to accountability and a deafening sense of guilt, trying to move towards change and wanting to do better.”

lyrics

GLITTER GUNS

Seems like nothing’s working out
We both feel we’re missing out
On everyday glitter guns and spectacles
I’m sorry I am prone to apathy
As a result of inner anarchy
And it’s so hard to get it right

There are helicopters and drones
Circling my bones
Pointing guns, not glitter ones
Their humming from above
Says if I fail I’ll lose your love

Screens suck my face in
And I fail to pretend
To see that I am here
Here for everyone

There are helicopters and drones
Circling our bones
Pointing guns, not glitter ones
Their humming from above
Says if we fail we’ll lose all love
