about

"Relativiser" is a French verb that means to put something into perspective.
"Relativize" is an English verb that means to treat something as dependent on something else.

This song is about both of those.

lyrics

You can say it to yourself
if nobody else will recognize
You can mark out on your own
Goals set in milestone
Never let them
Never let them go
Relativize

If they won’t have your back
Or they won’t have you back
Then sanitize
You’re not alone just older
So cry on your own shoulder
Never let them
Never let them relativize you

Gotta get out of here
Yeah I thought about it
Get ‘em up out of your hair
Yeah I thought about it
Clear voices up in your head
Yeah I thought about ‘em
I can be the only one to cheer
But I don’t need to talk about it

They can relate it to some disease
But it’s crazier not to see the way you vocalize
Out of the buzzing behind your eyes
There’s nothing wrong support
But if you’re getting from the source
Never let them
Never let them relativize

If you don’t mind
You’ve got your own business to mind
There’s not right
For them to eye you and find it strange
And if you really wanna speak your mind
And they don’t wanna witness change
Then they should do the same
Pick somebody else and pick their brain
