Lyric

My Body is a Temple

Zen 101

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

My Body is a Temple

And I have been rebuilding it from scratch

As someone has come and destroyed it

Without my fucking permission

How the hell did that happen?

How the hell did I let that happen?

(My body is a temple)

I have been rebuilding

A fortress, a temple, a castle

To gather those who have suffered the same way I did

I once thought my body failed me

By changing its shape

(Why did you change and attract the unwanted)

(My body is a temple)

Every time I tried to put my arms around you

With the brotherly affection

You’d just mistaken it for advances

Every time I tried to speak for myself

Candidly like any one of you boys do

You just called me out instead

But I for once would like you

To look inside of my fragile shell

That looks nothing like these curves

That looks nothing like these curves

That looks nothing like these curves

That looks nothing like these curves

My body is a temple

(Damn right)

Sturdy, sacred, and private

(My body is a temple)

And my soul a deity

And I am rebuilding it from scratch

So no one can break me no more

So no one can break me no more

So no one can break me no more

So no one can break me no more

My body is a temple

Your body is a temple

Their body is a temple

Our body is a temple

Zen 101, Tokyo-based electronic music artist, who performs with synthesizers, a looping station and a beat machine, is releasing a series of singles monthly for four months starting December 2021.

The first single "My Body is a Temple" is based on personal experiences of sexual violence and tone-policing Zen received, and the artist celebrates every body and gender in this track that integrates spoken words and fat bass line.
Daisuke Ishimoto, who also contributed to Zen's 1st 12-inch record, participated these series of singles as a Sound Designer/Arranger/Rec Engineer.
