Good/bad. Right/wrong. Man/woman. We’ve always been taught that our existence is limited to binaries. Through “Cosmic Silence (the enby song)”, Pip Marinho (formerly known as Marinho) invites us on a raw and vulnerable journey of their own discovery of existence beyond the binary gender norm. From a deeply intimate place, Pip explores the fear that comes with change.

When Pip embraced their non-binary identity, they began to find freedom from a lifetime of violent restrictions on both body and soul — but liberation often comes with struggle. They wrote this song during a deeply fragile and tender moment. And to honor the power of such vulnerability, Pip chose to make this the first single off their new album, which is due in 2025 under indie label Lay Down Recordings.

𖡎 Lyrics and music by Pip Marinho 𖡎

i'll tell you where i am
my flashlight is dim
and there's misty cave inside me
and i'm afraid to go in

i wanna sit in cosmic silence, under a rock
shielded from the violence of the norm

they say i have to be a man or a woman
if i wanna be human
they say i have to be a man or a woman

won’t you come and to sit with me
let’s gaze at the stars
before the sun comes up and ruins everything

i'll tell you all about eukarya
how we're all the same
from the seeds to the whales

they say i have to be a man or a woman
if i wanna be human
they say i have to be a man or a woman

they say i have to be a man or a woman
if i wanna be human
they say i have to be a man or a woman
