Inspired by the film, Sa Ngalan Nang Pagibig. It's about a wife who commits murder because of her philandering husband. The film may have been a melodrama but it's story which is familiar. In the song, I try to analyze the motivation behind adultery, behind cheating on the one you love.
lyrics
sometimes you leave
sometimes you go away
sometimes you breathe
a sigh of relief to say
i need you i love you
but you disappear
into the wilderness
you need to answer
the call of the siren
from the other side
of the lake, sometimes
i gotta run the risk
of drowning for the sake
of trying something new
and it doesn't matter
if it's true
it doesn't matter
if you hate
it doesn't matter if i die
it's something i gotta do
you say this sometimes
you say this sometimes
sometimes you stay
sometimes one day
sometimes you make
a sound i cannot shake
like a wolf howling
a primal croon,
shouting to some unknown face
on the surface of the moon
running around with your pack
with some luck
you stumble on to your prey
and lay lady lay lay lady lay
and you take and take and take
all this before i even
wake
