lyrics
“Ishtar as a Boy / Sirenflies” (ft. Helvetica the Mage & Des Jay)
produced by Ishtar Sr.
[Chorus: Ishtar Sr.]
Boy became ishtar, the process was divine
Boy became ishtar, the process was divine
Boy became ishtar, the process was divine Boy became ishtar, the process was divine
[Verse 1: Ishtar Sr.]
Ishtar the senior you can’t tame that one
Try with all your might you cannot flame that one
My dress like regal plumage and my jewels glisten
Cooped up in my stoop kitchen, dude lusting with juice dripping
[Prechorus: Helvetica the Mage]
Get my shit
Apply that pressure, turn off the lights
Impatiently waiting for the beautiful and ugly
Get my shit
Apply that pressure, turn off the lights
Impatiently waiting for the beautiful and ugly
[Chorus: Ishtar Sr.]
Boy became ishtar, the process was divine
Boy became ishtar, oh the process was divine
Boy became ishtar, oh this process was divine
Boy became ishtar, oh the process was divine
[Postchorus: Des Jay]
Oooo
Dystopia, bound a love and
Nooo
Utopia, bound by a hatred
[Outro: Ishtar Sr.]
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me
That’s what the sirens told me

Boy became ishtar, oh the process was divine
Boy became ishtar, oh this process was divine
Boy became ishtar, oh the process was divine

Knock Knock
by (Eli)zabeth Owenssupported by 26 fans who also own “Ishtar As a Boy / Sirenflies (feat. Des Jay & Helvetica the Mage)”
(Eli)zabeth Owens’ Knock Knock is an incredible album. It is the conceptual continuation of their album Coming of Age (which you should also listen to), and Knock Knock is both an excellent continuation and a wonderful new album. The vocals, instrumentals, and lyrics are all excellent, and every song fits together wonderfully. Absolutely worth listening to. Thank you for releasing this wonderful album.
