about

A tale told in the light of past and present traumas. “Sneaky Sneaky” is brought about by the pressure to conform into certain societal and religious constructs. Constructs that go against identifying oneself as part of the LGBTQIA community. In this single, Daniel Kuda passionately talks about sneaking out of a mental and physical bondage, into freedom and triumph. Determined to advance and not look back on past traumas, Daniel Kuda will never again live another lie. “I’ll never linger in shadows!”

lyrics

Okay
Mhmmmm

Yeah I'm going further away
From the visions that I can't escape
Got your knives on my throat
And your pride on my soul
It's just heavy to hold on my own

And I'm going north of the border
To the green and the skies
Save my head from the slaughter
My ambition can't be watered down
Hmm, Yeah

Sneaky sneaky weakling is what they all see
I've tried to fit in boxes with their versions of me
I've made friends with the closet
I can't fit in a closet
I can't stand all these boxes, nooo

Somewhere beyond those hills
A voice is calling my name
It says cry me a river
And soak your sorrows away
Yeah yeah yea
Tippie toe batty boy
Get out, get out
Dorothy's waitin' on the other side
With her arms reachin' out
Feel your heart start to pound
Yea my ambition can't be watered down

She says, she says
You're safe
Cause you're my

Sneaky sneaky weakling is what they all see
I've tried to fit in boxes with their versions of me
I've made friends with the closet
I can't fit in a closet
I can't stand all these boxes, nooo

I'm not ready to fall
You're part of my history
I'm rewriting my own
Misery don't follow me
I'm not ready to fall
I'll never linger in shadows

Take a look back
Gaze into my eyes
I cast a spell on those who don't play nice
Tears of blood, black, drip down as they cry
Kiss the devil that you've made in me a sorrowful sweet goodbye

Sneaky sneaky weakling is what they all see
I've tried to fit in boxes with their versions of me
I've made friends with the closet
I can't fit in a closet
I can't stand all these boxes, nooo

Ooh
I'm not ready to fall
You're part of my history
I'm rewriting my own
Misery don't follow me
Ooh, I'm not ready to fall
I'll never linger in shadows
