Ich bin Soya. Deine Milchkuh. Und ich hab dir was zu sagen, und ich werd es endlich wagen, was ich sagen will ist Muh... es hört mir keiner zu... Muh So sprech ich heut in Deiner Sprache Was ich sonst nicht gerne mach. Das ist die Sprache von Gewalt. Die durch mein Leben hallt: Enthornung. Besamung. Schlachtreif. Nimm meine Zunge aus dem Mund, die ist nicht zum Fressen da. Denn der Körper, den du frisst, war mal ein jemand, der wer ist. Jemand wie ich. Aha. Jemand wie du. Aha. Jemand, der selber weiter leben will Wer will schon sterben für den Grill? Meine Titten tun mir weh, bisschen Sahne im Kaffee. Trink ne Latte, eitle Zecke, nur mein Kind bleibt auf der Strecke, saugst mir’n Saft aus der Brust scheissegal, hast ja Lust. Meine Titten tun mir weh, Du frisst Käse. Und denkst Dir nichts dabei, es steht ja Bio drauf, du Ei. Doch das ist meine Milch, Du Sack, die ist für meine Kids gemacht und nicht für Deine. Du frisst Kalbfleisch-Frikassée. meine Kinder sind passé, ja, das Schnitzel kommt Dir gut, und Deine Scheisse ist voll Blut. How does it feel to kill as if it’s not real? Just tell me how, baby? How, baby? How? Hast meine Kinder umgebracht Dir dabei ja nichts gedacht. Bist ein armes dummes Ding, das nicht mehr essen darf wie’s will. Du armes, selbstgerechtes Arschloch. Mmmh! Mmmh! Du Arschloch voller Macho-Kacke mit deiner Angel, deinem Grillfest Deiner Grab them by the pussy-Macke Nimmst Dir alles, was du willst bist ja ein Mann, heh Ein Mann, ein Mann, ein richtiger Mann Wow! Und was für einer! Toll! Fett! He halt mal, das war mein Fett! Und findest Du mich krass, so probier doch mal was. Stopf Deine Muskeln in den Mixer, Friss Dein Hackfleisch, feiger Hund. Mach Wurst aus Deinen eignen Kindern, Um die Schmerzen dann zu lindern, Friss n Xanax, Du Wixer Meine Zitzen, die sind wund. How does it feel to kill as if it’s not real? Just tell me how, baby? How, baby? How? Nimm den Tod von Deinen Lippen meinen Rumpf aus Deinem Kopf, meine Leber aus dem Magen kannst an Deinen Rippen nagen, oder einmal Rückgrat haben, ja das wär doch schön! He! Und komm, jetzt tu nicht so empört, als ob mein Körper Dir gehört. Das ist mein Körper, meine Milch, mein Kalb und meine Haut. Meine Knochen, meine Sehnen, hast mein Leben mir geklaut. Und die Zeit, in der Du einfach nimmst, die ist vorbei, Mensch. Vorbei. Vorbei. Vorbei. How does it feel to kill as if it’s not real? Just tell me how, baby? How, baby? How?

How can i make you understand i dont wanna be part of your life anymore we’ve had some good times sometimes rough sometimes sweet (but that was rare) you have hurt me too many times just cut the crap you dont love me (never did) this is the moment where our paths get untwined you live your life and i live mine you live your life and i live mine Dont come running after me gotta gotta let me go let me go let go of your mythology of you and me and me and you belonging together bonded for some greater sense (nonsense) I’m telling you with three little words Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone How can i make you have the faith that without me you can be better off, at last you can be sore, you can be sad if you ask me, i’ve had it mad you’ve betrayed me too many times (I spare the count) you dont see me (it’s time to free me) this is the end right now you live your life and i live mine you live your life and i live mine Dont come running after me gotta gotta let me go let me go let go of your mythology of you and me and me and you belonging together bonded for some greater sense (nonsense) I’m telling you with three little words Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone

Thousands of years Thousand years of culture Blooming agriculture That’s it! Neverending circles Of a starving vulture Depleted force of nature That’s it! Choking crops on wasted lands Sick and drying fields The waters are crying The rivers are dying That’s it! The seas are empty, the sky is too The clouds are falling apart The only wilderness is left in my heart Where have all Where have all the birds gone? A new world A new you And I’ll be gone I’ll be gone forever Forever! Histories engraved in stones Stone dissolved by wind Greetings to the dinosaurs That’s it! Memories too old to hold Long forgotten soon Time and her children are falling apart Enter the void within my heart. Where have all Where have all the birds gone? A new world A new you And I’ll be gone I’ll be gone forever Forever! A rainy day Washed them all away Time’s up The curtains drop A new world A new you And I’ll be gone I’ll be gone forever Forever!

Unbreed Me 03:47
So you thought you can control me Control who I am Control how I grow How I’m raised Even how I taste You thought you can control my weight my hight, my colour, my shape, my cells my genes, even my D-N-A you thought it’s all yours to play? And when I die Is it all yours to choose? I’m unique. I’m the one and only me. Try to keep me small Try to keep me down. Keep trying. All these years of breeding Tons of spilled sperm Shipped around the globe Into the bodies of my mothers And my mothers mothers Generation after generation You call it engeneering I call it forced reproduction. Unwilling, unnatural Come make your selection The purer the blood The higher the price. Your obessessed with race Ah.....ah....Unbreed me! Cash cash, cash everywhere Objects of desire Each day has its prize Each breath its cost Let’s do some business here Superhuman Let’s do some business here Supercow From one machine to the other Cash cash them up. Every drop is measured My life is your diet Low fat, low profile No time to digest No matter how much you want it You, you always want more You’re driven by greed More money, more power, more time. It’s time to get up Go to school, rush to work Go get milked baby Rush hour everywhere From the milking station to your brain Harder Faster Ah.....ah....Unbreed me! So you thought you can erase this trait Enhance the other I’m not like my father I’m not like my mother I’m me. Ah.....ah....Unbreed me!

Purple Grass 03:13
I’ve been silently dreaming Of purple grass I’ve been silently dreaming Of the thing they call the sky It’s red and full of tiles It’s red... And there’s never, and there’s never any man And no, oh no, no hands And no, no arms anywhere. I have a dream That one day I have a dream You let me live I’ve been silently dreaming Of silver fields I’ve been silently dreaming Of the thing they call the sun Give me space Give me air Give me peace Give me time to hope I have a dream That one day I have a dream You let me live

Love in you 04:55
Close your eyes Just for this moment and breathe And feel who’s there Who’s inside this shell Behind this skin This pumping heart Who’s behind these expanding lungs? They’re filled with love You’re filled with love Oh, please never forget There’s love in you Oh, please never forget There’s love in you There’s love There’s love There’s love There’s love There’s love in you And even if you do forget You cant, you must, you got to know You got to know, you got to trust There’s love in you And even if you do forget You cant, you must You got to know, you got to trust There’s love There’s love There’s love There’s love in you There’s love There’s love There’s love in you Oh, please never forget There’s love in you Oh, please never forget There’s love in you There’s love, there’s love in you and you And you and you And you

Soya's debut album Purple Grass was developed with the composer, pianist and producer Philipp Constantin and is released in the spring 2021.

Powerful electro-pop anthems stand alongside intimate ballads accompanied by the piano, all cohesively held together by Soya’s palpable passion for justice, a captivating sense of humour and her agile and powerful voice.
