A Cup of Tea Bereft Lyrics by Marsy Mars

Verseus

2020

Few people heard this artist’s previous record
Those who did, may have understood it was about two things:
The nature of migration, not merely
Of the body but of the mind and spirit;
And the moment of epiphany, more
Specifically, the one which causes one
To realise that, in fact, one was wrong
A concession which sends one back to the
Customs queue awaiting the border official
Of the spirit
This one, on the other hand, if it were
To be said to bе about anything, is of
The struggle to belong whеn one is so
Keen to self-actualise; the struggle that comes when
In order to belong, one need voluntarily limit the self;
When to belong is corrupt, when to
Belong is abject; when to belong requires
You to be persecutory, more narrow of mind
To perform virtue and invoke it without
Exemplifying it; to play at rationality
Or enlightenment as a cover for prejudice
It is a portrait, in other words, for those
Both great and sweet of mind and soul
Whose essence of being, because they
Cannot both freely be themselves, and belong
For they confound too many lines
And in doing so come to know too much
Is loss; and yet who from this loss bask
In a character unified and deep where others’
Are shallow. This album is about the fact
That this was the sentence for true
Actualisation for the self in London at such a time
And that in such pervasive gloom
Isolation was common
