VENUS BLEEDS - DOLOROSA

DOLOROSA marks the queer middle-eastern artist's directorial and musical debut, and chronicles his journey to take back his power and redefine himself against the queer traumatic vehemence of his life. The "DOLOROSA" video is the first of three acts in a short film and EP titled "CATHARSIS" that introduces the setting stone of the artist's relationship with his artistic identity and the world. "DOLOROSA represents the infinite labirynth that we get stuck in, when we attempt to outsource our healing by chasing mirages."

Why can't I stop playing this game? I keep twirling in this labyrinth Come get me out Or else ill scream! Is this reality or is this fantasy? I dont know who to be Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, anticipating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, annihilating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, deteriorating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, run into the wild? Why would you care? Your food is on a silver plate I’m the one suffering, and playing this game Like a ******* puppet on a string! But I outsmart your crooked brain! Dont underestimate me boy I am the master of mind games I warned you, not to play with flames Come get me out Or else ill scream Is this reality or is this fantasy? I dont know who to be Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, anticipating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, annihilating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, deteriorating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, run into the wild? Can you hear me? (x2) I'm running to the wild, anticipating Can you feel me? (x2) I'm running to the wild, annihilating Can you slap me, can you fuck me I’m running to the wild, deteriorating Can you hear me? (x2) I’m running to the wild, running to the wild Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, anticipating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, annihilating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, deteriorating? Oh do you know how it feels to run into the wild, run into the wild? I am running I am running Into the wild, the wild, the wild, the wild I am running through the wild while I’m blind. www.venusbleeds.com All rights reserved to © VENUS BLEEDS.
