Hideous

I’m afraid that you’re gonna break me
Forcing me to show you
The flesh encasement where I always hide
Becoming so transparent-
Organs and skin, organs and skin
I reveal myself as weakened
Through your gaze- I liquify
I just couldn’t help it.
There's nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
I fear my true form.
As I deliquesce at your feet
An incredible high
I imagine myself floating-
And I’m so excited
I’ve slipped past my barricades
Flowing out in open space
My soul is the ocean
I wander in constant longing for you
New currents through my body-
The puddle I am pulsates
Coming alive.
No longer feel myself sinking
And I’m so excited
I’m over the moon
No way I’m turning back
I don’t wanna come down
I don’t wanna come down
I don’t wanna come down
I don’t wanna come down
I long to feel you,
I don’t wanna come down,
I want to breathe in you,
Fuck I don’t wanna come down
I long to be with you
I don’t wanna come down
Spiral amongst the stars

White Walls

I wanted to be special
But It’s so overdone
I wanted to touch the clouds
But my hands have dissolved
Coming down
Coming down
I wanted to care
More than anyone else
I told myself I’d try no matter what
But then the world turned blue
And everything spun around me
Everyone drifted away
They carried on from their childish ways
But I’m stuck in a toy wooden castle
I don’t mind the fantasy
But you can only pretend for so long
I’m the princess of desire
Trapped within white walls
I wanna cry,
But my tears are icicles,
I wanna fight,
A soldier alone in this void of white-
This pressure within my body,
Confined in translucent skin
I fear there’s nothing, nothing left in there
Except a heavy cold frozen stone.
Coming Down
I wanted for you to love me.
But I’m forgotten here-
And as I watch myself perish and fade
I paint the walls with every last
fleeting bit of faith-

Exile

The pendulum swings in halftime,
Eternal in directionless motion,
And every wake becomes a waste,
You fool yourself to believe in forward,
When you pray to such a false direction-
Sedate yourself in meaningless connection
Survival is coming to accept-
Throw on your bandaid.
Shut the fuck up.
Forever in the slowest timewarp-
No matter the perspective, I’m blind
Every rise of sun, still dark.
You think you know what light is?
You think you know.
Twisted and bent.
Contort yourself into a decent human.
“For god’s sake, find some will to cope”
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Survival is the coming to accept
(I can’t bury this)
I can’t bury this

Dark Matter

Take me
Take me,
Both my open hands
I hover, sustained in eternity
In such a bitter blank
I await-
My being wants to stretch
Barely a speck of dust
I’m alone- in what I know as forever
Warping myself backwards
I fall
Into the deepest hole,
Black matter
When will I matter?
I am the small pinnacle of darkness,
I wait, a speckle of dust, swirling-
Amongst thundering cosmic clouds
This emptiness I fear,
Drags me deeper,
Into the abyss-
And I’m not scared.
Was never meant to be
Is there anything here for me?
This nothingness I fear,
Pulls me deeper,
Into the abyss
And I’m not scared
To let myself go
I am the small pinnacle of dark
I wait, a tiny grain, spiraling
Down, hidden in her shadows
I drift farther down
I get close to giving in
I feel a rumbling beneath me-
The need to erupt
Fill this void your with colour
Endless stretch of stars
Within I find my light-
I am the creator of life
Take me.

I grew up listening to James Blake. His work was the most soothing soundtrack for winter days and navigating uncertainty.

Kelela is the ultimate blend of pop and divine feminine energy. Her vision embodies exactly what I believe is needed in modern pop music- experimental sounds and pure soul.
