about
A.E.O.I.A is a playful exploration of queerness, gender and identity performance, oneness with the self and the body. Written in his native Macedonian language with a heavy Bitola dialect, the song and video area humorous nod to stereotypical characters from RADVLAD’s hometown that ironically contributed to their queer development.
lyrics
Еднаш гледа другар ми
Сред улица му снема здив
Сум излегол по чорапи
Во бојата се различни
Шетаме низ улици
А тој се вцрви, усрами
Кај ќе ојш море ваков?!
Ќе те пулат, ќе се смеат,
Викам
Знам
Знам
Знам
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Зеде коса исфарба и вивна цело село
Комшивката шо ќе речи,
Личиш ко да си женско
Зјапај колку сакаш
Мене Бога ми е сведок
Дека телото го создаде
За израз од почеток
Само решил да ме вдоми
Покрај се во место вакво
Кај шо мора да се потсеќам
На едно нешто важно
дека
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
Сите ми сте фанови а јас сум само тело
One time my friend looked at me
and gasped in the middle of the street
I had gone out with socks
with mismatching colors
As we were wandering the streets
he became red with embarrassment
Where the hell are you going looking like that?!
They’ll stare at you!
They’ll laugh at you!
And I’m like
I know
I know
I know
I know
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
He dyed his hair and the whole village was shook
What is the neighbor going to say?!
You look like a woman!
Stare all you want
God is my witness
That the body was created
For expression since the start
God just decided to put me
In a place like this
Where I must remind myself
Of one important thing: that
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
All of you are fans of mine, but I am just a body
