Red Toenails

Momo

Below your raised hand

I gazed at my red toenails

Just to remember

I’m independent from you

My little girl can cry for me

In the deep tunnel from my heart

So I smile in rain

I walk in pain

Now I know how to accept what I deserve

Before you take me as the one-way ticket

To escape from what you’ve made up

Just for granted

Have you ever thought of my thought?

Don’t take a bite if you won’t have it all

I woke up grown up enough to decide

Which way to go on my own

This is where I saw in a dream

Even though it doesn’t look the same

Doesn’t matter what you say

I know which way to go

I know how to accept what I deserve

Doesn’t matter what you say

Artist Profile

  • Momo

    Momo (Momoko Kawabata) is a singer songwriter known for her passionate piano style, occasionally accompanied by the support of violins and a band. She was born and raised in Chiba, the neighbourly prefecture of Tokyo without much influence from any friends, family or the music industry over there. She self-taught herself how to write songs, how to sing and how to play the piano, mostly relying on her ears and so Momo's unique playing style is highly influenced by this. Although she is often described as the Japanese Kate Bush or Ben Folds, she is into guitar music and live bands such as Elliott Smith, Deerhunter, Modest Mouse and so on rather than shiny piano pop music.
