Still My Own · Track 10 / 16
Tell me the truth you keep leaving out.
From Still My OwnA technically true answer can still keep someone choosing with half the story. Across three encounters, wit exposes unequal terms, a double standard, and the effort one person keeps expecting the other to supply. He can want the man and question the bargain. Wanting you does not make your version of the truth enough.

Técnicamente
An implication is not an agreement. Mutual eagerness is not a reason to call someone less good. Pictures and promises are not a plan to meet. The narrator can notice all of that and still want connection. By the end, an honest maybe has become welcome: uncertainty gives people room when nobody is using it to hide the answer.
I can face your answer
Can you?
I can’t do
Honesty for twoFrom the lyrics of TechnicallyKnowing how someone explains an arrangement does not oblige you to arrange your life around it. The narrator can understand the logic, notice the evasion and still enjoy wanting. That matters most when “good” and “dirty” become a double standard: mutual desire cannot fairly be used to diminish only one of the people who shared it.
Discernment and appetite share the same evening. Make It Weird follows by saying the desire even more openly, while keeping the answer and the choice free.

I said, “You were just as eager.
I’m still good when I want you bad.”
I sent, “Enjoy your evening”
Then I took my own advice
I had picked this shirt for you
It still looks good on me
I text my friends: “Too good to waste.
Who’s getting seen with me?”Concept, lyric writing, development and revision, musical and performance direction: Christian Rodriguez / Chris in Full.
Chris supplied the revised Verse 2 opening and other exact wording changes while directing a flirty, sincere benevolent trickster-like delivery. The wit was directed to clarify what someone actually offers without extinguishing attraction.
Across Still My Own, Chris’s original writing, extensive rewriting and narrative development give form to his lived experience, imagination and emotional vision. He works between intuition and reasoning, refining language and musical direction so that phrasing, rhythm and delivery carry what he means.
