HER - Sia
Flames
One foot in front of the other, babe
One breath leads to another, yeahJust keep moving, ohLook within for the strength todayListen out for the voice to sayJust keep moving, oh
Go, go, goFigure it out, figure it out, but don't stop movingGo, go, goFigure it out, figure it out, you can do this
So my love, keep on runningYou gotta get through the day, yeahThere my love, keep on runningGotta keep those tears at bay, ohOh, my love, don't stop burningGotta send them up in flamesIn flames
Don't stop, tomorrow's another dayDon't stop, tomorrow you'll feel no painJust keep moving, ohDon't stop the past'll trip you upYou know, right now's gotta be enoughJust keep moving
This used to move me to tears. Today I take a bath in it like in all her songs. So close to myself.
Whisperer
A million voices screamed in my headAnd I felt sure that I would give inSo why couldn't I now?Why couldn't I now?Your voice was louder
But by design God gave me feelingsAnd by design they shall not killBut when the noises overwhelm meI feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save meI hit bottom, and then the whisper comesYou whisper in the breezeWhispers that I neededQuiet words soothe the hurtWhisperer
One Million Bullets
Under the moonlightWeathering with your warm embrace(Oh-oh-oh-oh)I feel so safe hereBaby we're worth the wait(Oh-oh-oh-oh)Yeah, I picked the wrong kindTime after timeI drank from the poisoned wine(Oh-oh-oh-oh)Yeah, I picked the wrong kindBut baby you're alrightYeah, baby I seen the light
I got a feeling, I got a feelingDanger is coming, a danger is comingA danger is coming, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohI got a feeling, I got a feeling
I feel every word of it and I'm not hurt. That's my progress. That's my success. That's me feeling it all and not giving in but being with it. Me existing having my pain sung through some one else. My experiences that only the fewest understand.
The war has been won here.
Je te perdonne
I forgive you, you know not what you have done
Ohh I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on
Ohh I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong
Ohh I, and I love you, always in my heart you'll live on
Bird Set Free
Clipped wings, I was a broken thingHad a voice, had a voice but I could not singYou would wind me downI struggled on the ground, ohSo lost, the line had been crossedHad a voice, had a voice but I could not talkYou held me downI struggle to fly now, oh
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hideWe hold on so tight, we cannot denyEats us alive, oh it eats us alive, ohYes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hideWe hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, noI don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah
And I don't care if I sing off keyI find myself in my melodiesI sing for love, I sing for meI shout it out like a bird set freeNo, I don't care if I sing off keyI find myself in my melodiesI sing for love, I sing for meI'll shout it out like a bird set free
Alive
I was born in a thunderstormI grew up overnightI played aloneI played on my ownI survived
HeyI wanted everything I never hadLike the love that comes with lightI wore envy and I hated thatBut I survived
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons goWhere the wind don't changeAnd nothing in the ground can ever growNo hope, just liesAnd you're taught to cry into your pillowBut I survived
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Under rich, relentless skiesI've been setting highsI felt you walk right through meYou're the thing that I invokeMy all persistent goalSent to make me queasy
To be Human
And oh, it's hard nowWith time, it works out
To be human is to loveEven when it gets too muchI'm not ready to give upTo be human is to loveEven when it gets too muchI'm not ready to give up
Waving Goodbye
Two hearts, one past I was your loverCruel words broke us you became another
I'm with the enemy in my bedWhen the voice in my headTells me I should treat myself betterI know you don’t mean to be meanWhen you’re hurting you'll seeYou can see just how dark it is getting
So one hand is holding yours whileThe other is waving goodbyeI love you, but it's your turn to cryBut one hand is holding yours whileThe other is waving goodbyeI love you, but it's your turn to cryIt's your turn to cry
Free Me
I don't want to hold your gazeI'm scared what I might see thereFound myself in this placeAnd I'm a burning fire
Oh, peace may comeI hope it won't take longJust a faith I cannot see, ohbring me homeI'm in here all alongJust me and my melody
So, free meOh, free meFrom this pain I've been running fromI'm tired and I'm free fallingFree meOh, free meFrom this shame I've been running fromI'm lost and I am calling youI'm lost and I am callingI'm lost and I am calling
I don't have a way back downI'm stepping even furtherTake my hand and turn me aroundI'm listening to myself
Oh, peace may comeI hope it won't take longJust a faith I cannot seeBring me homeI'm in here all alongJust me and my melody
Courage to Change
World, I want to leave you betterI want my life to matterI am afraid I have no purpose hereI watch the news on TVAbandon myself dailyI am afraid to let you see the real me
Rain it falls, rain it fallsPouring on meAnd the rain it falls, rain it fallsSowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hopeWe don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds
Have I the courage to change?
Move your Body
Poetry in your body
You got it in every way
And can′t you see it's you I′m watching?
I am hot for you in every way
And turn around, let me see you
Wanna free you with my rhythm
I know you can't get enough
When I turn up with my rhythm

Your body's poetry, speak to me
Won′t you let me be your rhythm tonight?
I'm Still here
I'm fighting a battleI'm fighting my shadowHerd fears like they're cattleI'm fighting a battle, yeahI'm fighting my egoLost youth, where did we go wrong?I'm fighting for me, thoughI'm lighting the long way home
Oh, the past it haunted meOh, the past it wanted me deadOh, the past tormented meOh, the past it wanted me dead
Free me
I don't want to hold your gazeI'm scared what I might see thereFound myself in this placeAnd I'm a burning fire
Oh, peace may comeI hope it won't take longJust a faith I cannot see, ohbring me homeI'm in here all alongJust me and my melody
So, free meOh, free meFrom this pain I've been running fromI'm tired and I'm free fallingFree meOh, free me
From this shame I've been running fromI'm lost and I am calling youI'm lost and I am callingI'm lost and I am calling
She keeps healing me for years. And it never ends. I can never stop listening. Living in it with my full heart. Feeling every word, every notion and not breaking on it but living through it again and again as a reminder about life, love what it all means.

My Universal Star - A Ghost from the Past

Image
 Seems we're always meeting in the snow ... I'm thinking while looking at the picture from almost four years ago. How did that even happen? How does any of this really happen? Just when I take a screenshot of the old me in the snow storm, my mind is trying to remember details. He's a traveler, photographer - a good one. I love the pictures. Now he's in Berlin.   I'm having a photo shooting she will say a few minutes later as if my own thoughts have again been manifesting outside of me. Like my thoughts have been wandering in strange directions. A yoga clothing brands. A universal one. Produced in Rajasthan. I see who is making them. It needs branding with the zodiacs. Pictures. A few days back I see his story. He moved to Berlin. Random. We text. I have the feeling he must be near. Somehow. I don't even know him. I hardly remember at all. It's Friday. It surely has been another week of random manifestations. I feel like things are just happening for me. Inv...

Breaking Open

 There we are again. Another little story that ended as fast as it had begun. It was quick and in its whole a total misunderstanding on all levels or... Something that I may have looked through entirely, rising from my experiences and finally hitting the nail on the head just in time, just in the right moment, exposing what was masked behind intelligence, intellect, good manners and smooth talk. Something that was meant to stay hidden not to ruin the chance of being truly seen, uncovering the darkness, the blindness, the things we deny so we cannot be truly seen, to keep this image of ourselves that we've build up so carefully to impress, to be loved, to be admired, to be accepted and wanted. To matter. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL8fISaPCqu/?igsh=YTB3aGhpa2VrZG9x https://www.instagram.com/p/DLuU1SZMr43/?img_index=6&igsh=eXgyd2RheGllYjZs Starting as an average quick pick up in the bar nights of Berlin I did not expect any further contact, let alone another meeting to get to...

The Challenge of returning Home

Image
  Day three. Of the last. Slowly it’s becoming real. The reality of having to leave again. It’s becoming harder to hold my tears back… I’m becoming restless. Wanna make the most of my time. Soak everything in as much as I can. Little sleep, a continuous level of exhaustion and yet I’m fully here. Waking up today it’s hard for me to stay in bed for long. Maa Ganga is calling. I need to be outside to walk.  First stop Chai. Moktan. A must. Haven’t been in some time. The kindest man in Tapovan. The most popular and loved tiny cafe. It’s still quiet. He even starts talking to me which is rare when he’s working. He’s so calm. Asking me about my two years before when I used to come with my friend all the time. And while my Chai is ready to go and I’m joking around about why he has cameras in his tiny shop, I’m so much in my own mind that I leave without paying. Some moments later down the alley I realize and while I feel ashamed despite my rational mind knowing that it’s no big deal...
