The official music video for "Graffiti" by Saleka
Directed by: Ishana Shyamalan

"Graffiti" is about the power of words, especially the words of those who we love. How they are like spells, and often end up defining our world, who we believe we are and what we believe we can become.

LYRICS:
I hear nostalgia drip
From my fingertips
I taste duende on your skin
This feels a little bit like sin

You soak my hair in red wine
Your fingers on my back trace “your mine”
We crescendo into the blur of our nightly chase
But something heavy flickers in the negative space

His graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me, yea
I’m covered in graffiti, oooh
Tabula rasa, I can’t give it to you yet
My fire still lights for his cigarette
Graffiti all over me

His absence is dense
But your magnetics are immense
We melt into December mornings
Ignoring all the storm warnings

You wanna fall into the waves
But I’m numb from abrasion
He still skates on my margins
Through my connotations

His graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me yea I’m covered in graffiti, oooh
Tabula rasa I can’t give it to you get
My fire still lights for his cigarette
Like using Daedalus’ wings to fly
Addicted to the momentary high
Of his graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me, yeah
I’m covered in graffiti, oooohhh
