“Hex” it’s the oldest song of the album. I started strumming it with a guitar at the same I was writing the songs for my first EP. At that time the former USA president was still in charge and I was impressed by his misogynistic and racist speech. That’s when I found the funny rhyme “Hex/T-rex”. I could find similar contempt in other people, who pretend they’re better than others but who need people to dominate, without which they are nothing. I was also considering climate change and how so few people consume so many resources, while nature suffers, temperature raises, and many others are condemned to death and poverty.
That’s why I wrote the “Hex”. When I started producing the song two years later, I arranged it with piano, violin and a Moog Synthesizer, paying hommage to Pj Harvey’s music.

Gintsugi – Hex Lyrics

You think that you’re so bright
Your attitude is uptight
But you choke in your own skin
When you don’t have anyone to discipline
Your body is so cramped
As your imagination
You’re so damned, you’re so damned

This is my Hex
On a t-rex
you’re a dinosaur and as them you’ll soon be extinct
This is my Hex
On a t-rex
you’re a dinosaur and as them you’ll soon be extinct

Are you still waking up
Whining why everybody else (except you) is so fucked up
how you fancy walls
wanting to stuck us inside your fucking hole
walls are so thick and narrow
do they shield you from your own shadow

This is my Hex
On a t-rex
you’re a dinosaur and as them you’ll soon be extinct
This is my Hex
On a t-rex
you’re a dinosaur and as them you’ll soon be extinct
Now tell me who’s the fault if here’s so freaking hot
tell me who’s the fault
