Luna the Cat 05:37
My cat is scratching My favorite couch And out of the window, Ohhh Out of the window, Ohh My bed is howling Like hungry wolves And out of the window, I can hear them bruise And out of the window, I can hear them bruise Now, I've got an important question to ask you all It is a really important one indeed To jump, or not to jump That is the question.... Just jump already! Why does it take so too fucking long To jump out of the window? Fish fly in the sky, birds are swimming by Fuck your brains a little bit, before you go! Don't forget the cat... Don't forget the cat... My cat's still chewing My broken dreams And outside the window, I can finally breathe Outside the window, I can finally breathe Meow

Breakfast 05:14
All my lovers need Some deep psychoanalysis Cause every other morning They shed their skin Next to my cup of coffee But maybe what they truly want Is just a slight hypnosis To help them get into my world of dreams "But I highly doubt they wanna have anything to do with it..." But anyhow, every time I walk out of their sweetest apartments They feel quite relieved That my madness will not haunt them For the whole week "They'll keep their heads tidy and clean..." But maybe what they truly want Is just a good psychosis To help them get into my world of dreams "But I highly doubt they wanna have anything to do with it..." So anyhow, every time I walk out of their sweetest apartments They feel quite relieved That my madness will not haunt them For the whole week But maybe what they truly want Is just a good psychosis To help them get into my world of dreams Help them get into my world of dreams Help them get into my world of dreams Help them get into my world of dreams Help them get into my world ... My world of dreams - My world of dreams - My world of dreams Wait a minute....! But you'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world, cause you broke my heart You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world, cause you broke my soul You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world, cause I'm sensitive, you know You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world, you freaking bastard You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world, you freaking bastard You'll never get into my world You'll never get into my world Of dreams Dreams... Good morning sunshine

Miss Turtle 03:01
I am not the kind o fruit You wanna consume Red peel, shiny surface Perhaps your eyes are sleep-deprived I am, I'm the kind of devil Who wants to observe you Watch you from the corner of my "Hellish-Hellish" Loneliness Loneliness I am not the same fucking girl You used to know Red cheeks, shiny hair Perhaps your brains are over-priced? I am, I'm the kind of turtle Who wants to desert you Watch you from the corner of my Loneliness Loneliness Loneliness Loneliness I'm not that kind of a girl, I'm kind of a woman now I'm not that kind of a girl I'm kind of a turtle now I'm not that kind of a girl, I'm kind of a woman now I'm not that kind of a girl I'm kind of a turtle now

Μήτε καράβι καρτερώ Μήτε κάνα γράμμα Η Πηνελόπη πέθανε Σ' ένα κρεβάτι αδειανό Παρέα με τη γάτα Και το θλιμμένο σάβανο Που κένταγε και ξήλωνε Της φίλησε το πρόσωπο Σαν το βουνό τα χιόνια Και το Μπορντό που φύλαγε Στης μνήμης το πατάρι, Κάθεται εκεί, καμάρι Σαν Πηνελόπειο μνήμα Μήτε εσένα καρτερώ Μήτε το θαύμα Η Πηνελόπη θάφτηκε Σ' ένα παλιό σπιρτόκουτο Στην έντιμη μου στράτα Πέφτει το δάκρυ στο λευκό Πουκάμισο του ιππότη Που' χω κρεμάσει από καιρό Σ' ένα ερμάρι κάποιου Δον. Κιχώτη Μ' ένα σκουφάκι κίτρινο Τρέχω, ψάχνω το ανάλογο κεφάλι Που' χει χαθεί με τον καιρό Πίσω απ' τα σύννεφα, κάτω απ' το χαλί Στο νυσταγμένο μου γυαλί Πάνω απ' τα νήματα, μέσα στην αυλή της θείας της Ζωής Πίσω απ' τα κύματα, κάτω απ' το χαλί Στο ραγισμένο μου γυαλί Δίπλα απ' τα θύματα, μέσα στην αυλή της θείας της Ζωής Πέφτει η νύχτα στο Μπορντό Που έχω στο πλάι μου για να σβήνω Όσους πλανήτες δεν μπορώ Να καπνίσω η λάβα τους να γίνω Μ' ένα σκουφάκι κίτρινο Τρέχω, ψάχνω το ανάλογο τομάρι Που' χει χαθεί με τον καιρό Πίσω απ' τα σύννεφα, κάτω απ' το χαλί Στο κοιμώμενο μου γυαλί Πάνω απ' τα νήματα, μέσα στην αυλή της θείας της Ζωής Πίσω απ' τα κύματα, κάτω απ' το χαλί Στο ραγισμένο μου γυαλί Δίπλα απ' τα θύματα, μέσα στην αυλή της θείας της Ζωής

Black Magic 04:46
Oh, my black magic cat Why don't you visit me at night anymore? Is it something I am doing wrong, Or have I eaten too much garlic! And you find it extremely challenging to look me in the eye.... Look me in the eye... Oh, my black magic cat Why don't you visit me at night anymore? Is it something I am doing wrong, Or have I eaten too much garlic! And you find it extremely challenging to look me in the eye.... Look me in the eye... Does it speak to you? Does it? really? Does it speak to you? Does it? really? Does it speak to you? Does it? really? Does it speak to you? It speaks It speaks It speaks to me It speaks It speaks It speaks to me It speaks It speaks It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me It speaks to me!

Why shall I give the slightest fuck if it doesn't to you? Excuse me! Why shall I give the slightest fuck if it doesn't to you? Why shall I give the slightest fuck if it doesn't to you? Why shall I give the slightest fuck if it doesn't to you? Ok, maybe I've been a bit harsh on the latter Maybe I should ask a bit more softly next time Like for instance.... It speaks It speaks It speaks to me

about

This is a selection of seven pieces recorded live in the summer of 2022. The same year, Nama Dama was playing acoustic around small cozy shops, giving unique performances enhanced with poetry and storytelling.

The idea behind Eat Me Raw, was to release the songs exactly as they were performed, without any processing, or “beautification.” The last performance of these songs took place in August 2022 at Fengaros Festival, where Nama Dama (keys&vocals) Yiannis Constantinou (cello), and Xanthos Pattichis (bass) created an unforgettable experience for the audience.

Now that these songs have reached the end of their voyage, Nama Dama is releasing this live EP, as a faithful depiction of the way they sounded like when they were first performed. The release of Eat me Raw is more like a parting ritual for the creator herself, as each song carries its own dreams, stars, and storms. “Songs are no different from humans, because sooner or later they have the need to be heard.”

The lyrics discuss topics, some of which are still labeled as taboos. Mental health, addiction, unfulfilled desire, loneliness and isolation, suicidal thoughts, sexual fantasies, and experiencing womanhood are just some of them. The cat, being the main character in both the first and the last song, represents the magical essence of a human, or in other words, our spirit animal. The challenge for the cat is to survive in a body that is not always welcoming and sometimes even dark and dangerous.
