The Tide
03:21
|
|||
|
You told me to take your word for it
but you don't know how many times
someone said that and the words were knives
That stabbed me in the back once I let my guard down
You don't know how many times I've fallen in the war between
My instincts and my heart
I feel like the tide
hitting your shores
pulling back
Not out of fear
but I'm not ready
My water ain't enough
to heal your very being
for which you have to let me reach
if you want me there
Unless you're able to tear down my walls
you plant flowers in the barracks of my wounds
add water to soothe the dark of memories
You don't know how many times I've fallen in the war between
My instincts and my heart

Done
03:27
|

|
I'm fed up with saying sorry for who I am
No longer will I take the blame for how I feel
You can either buckle up and get ready for the journey
Or stay scared and won't see the things I'm gonna show you
I won't hold down, I won't give up
Too many times was my laugh too loud
My tears too full and a babbling mouth
My hands were thunderbolts just sending out
I feel too much while heading down south
Turn me around and send me away
I'd rather be off then where I would stay
I will choose myself so here I'm done
You don't know what you want, but I'm not here to choose for you
I don't enter lives to help you figure out
There's a time and place for everything but never with me
I don't feel like staying anymore
I won't hold down, I won't give up

Lighthouse
03:40
|
|||
|
There was a lighthouse far from shore
I couldn't reach it but I sure got closer
Sailing the waves, the moon grew larger
Lighthouse lit up the darkness more and more
You took me in like a breathe of life
Drawing me in light like magic
In and out, back and forth
Stars enough to count my worth
Guide me closer
Take me home
I've always been on my own
Closer home, closer home
On my own, on my own
You are my lighthouse far from here
I cannot see you but feel I do
Sailing those waves I'm back again
I never learned how to steer in darkness
You put me out like a candle flame
and reignited something new like magic
Here and there, far and near
Try enough and you're here with me

Spin

Spin het leven
Spindel zwaait
Weef het lot
Wiel dat draait
Raak me aan
Ga bij me weg
Hou me vast
Laat me vrij
Voel mijn armen om je heen
Wil je bij me niet alleen
In de nachten ben je de mijne
Voel je dicht tegen me aan
In de morgen
Spindel zont
Tot de avond bij mij komt
Ik spin verder uren lang
Reis naar jou en ben niet bang
Magie in mijn handen
Je lippen op mijn huid
Kom dichterbij
neem me mee
In de rondte
In mijn hand
Draait het leven
Spindel landt
Voel mijn armen om je heen
Wil je bij me niet alleen
In de nachten ben je de mijne
Voel je dicht tegen me aan
In de morgen spindel zont
Tot de avond bij mij komt
Ik spin verder uren lang
Reis naar jou en ben niet bang
Verlaat me vergeet me niet
Daar staat ze in sluiers gehuld
Spin de dood
Ik spin niet meer
De sluier valt

Ashes
04:05
|
|||
|
I woke up in a home
Which didn't feel like home anymore
For I lost my heart and soul in a country
that used to be a stranger
An endless loop of undeniable change,
set my heart on fire
and made it burn fiercely
But you just lit the fire,
You never intended to keep it alive
Your wish is not to tend to the flames
If you could have just told me
I'd put out the fire
and carry my ashes in a jar
Instead of letting go with the wind back to you
I'd hoped you would rekindle me
For nothing
I woke up in a home which didn't feel like home anymore
For I lost my heart and a soul in a country that used to be a stranger
Maybe I've been scared to dive deep
Alone and on my own
to find the greatest treasures.

Silence
04:01
|
|||
|
There was silence
The silence they talked about
The silence that is sometimes necessary
To hear how good it is
And rust on the iron rail
Black and white tiles
Warm water
Freckles on the palm of your hand
I traced the outlines of your hands
what's left a memory
a burden
but deep down in silence you are here
And I could feel and I could breathe
And "Only if I can sit beside you" is forever carved in my bones
The world seemed so far away
I never felt so alone
Here I'm standing
You didn't even proof me wrong
The silence which became necessary
Has taken far too long

Samen Terug
03:44
|
|||
|
Ik ontmoette je ergens in de zomer
en sindsdien heb je me nooit meer los gelaten
Overal waar ik ga draag ik je bij me
Je volgt me, zwaan, waar ik ook ga
Je stem in mijn oren
Je lach in mijn hart
Waar wij die avond stonden
door muziek volledig verbonden
Kom dichterbij
Kom bij me staan
Zoekend door tuin,
door geest
door schrift
Gedragen door de wind
We komen samen
samen terug
ik bid
ik zing
ik vraag
jij antwoordt
door de poort
samen
Door jou zag ik steeds opnieuw de liefde
en het heeft me nooit meer losgelaten
Je beheerst mijn gedachten altijd bij me
steeds de zwaan, waar ik ook ga
De cirkel is rond
daar ben je dan
Tijd zal ons leren
of we de waren zijn

You
04:07
|
|||
|
I just remembered
Your fingers pressed against my cheek
The taste of beer lingering on your lips
And amber light smoldering in your eyes
Did you feel it too?
How the world melted away beneath your feet
Laughter and music playing loud
Sounding as if they're very away
And it was beautiful
I always think of you back with a smile
And it was beautiful
I always think of you back with a smile
I still feel a tingle inside
That when you put your arms around me
I could feel home in that embrace
And a burning hearth inside your voice
Fingertips stroking down my arm
Until they reached for my hand
And our fingers entwined
There was infinity between us
Do you see the falling stars?
We won't see them together
And I'll never be asking you more questions
Because you are gone

Spell
03:50

|
Winter flows right through my bones
I've traveled through so many homes
Embrace me hold it little flame
Our lives will never be the same
Pick me up and draw me near
Is it safe to lie down here?
Hear my magic thunder roar
Come get closer give me more
Surely you'll get closer if you dare
Flower arches, gardens made of stone
Hold me like your heart inside your chest
and let me rest within your palms
Burning flame burn big and bright
Step with me into the light
Weave our fates voices loud
Turn around without doubt
In nothingness we shall return
Our roots forever lit shall burn
Weave and spin light let in
You and I it shall begin

It's just so beautiful! This piece is like a strong woman, whose devotion and conviction to protect and nurture her loved ones is so powerful that it can bend the heavens to fulfill them. Keep making music Anilah! You're really talented! (Also, I am a fan of Wardruna).
