LYRICS
JANUARY - WHELMED
THE WATER
Though I don`t want to go
There´s nothing to see but blue
Just every shade of blue
And soon now
A little chill
A soft wind
Will blow away this thought
And I´ll be lees distraught
And it will stay behind
When I am on my way
I try to let myself to walk away
And yet I stay
`Cause I am all alone
Everyone else is has gone
They seem to know the waste at time it is
To stay behind
The water the feeling
A part of me
I know that the freedom came under my skin
The water don´t matter I´m drawning in you
The water the feeling
A part of me
I know that the freedom came under my skin
The water don´t matter I´m drawning in you
I feel got summer drunk
Over into my thoughts of you
The moment made them true
I try to blame the stars
And I will blame the sun
But in the end I´ll follow your command
And come undone
Pure drops of love
Pure drops of love
WHISPERS:
Run down
My walls
Shout out
What you want
Throw me
On the ground
I’m not afraid of thunder
But silence is all I get from you
Whisper
Just a whisper
No more
Than a whisper of love
Too late
Too soon
I’m not
Dead ’n gone
Wake up
Somewhere else
It’s next – I see it coming
SOMETHING SHINING
The wilderness has pulled you
Making you it’s own, it’s own
Now the wind is echoing, echoing come home, come home
And in the shadows you appear
Standing there faithfully
Like something shining in the moon light
Your heart
Keeps on whispering
Your, your heart
Keeps on whispering
Your, your heart
Keeps on whispering
it’s pulling me
Like something thing in the moonlight
Familiar eyes keep me wondering, why, why
Where did our time go
how`s it been so long
and how you’ve held on so strong
you’re so strong
like something shining in the moonlight
Your heart
Keeps on whispering
Your, your heart
Keeps on whispering
Your, your heart
Keeps on whispering
it’s pulling me
Like something thing in the moonlight
DELICATE
Washed on the shore
From the twisted waves and their thorns
She has come to rest
on the boarders of your life
back against the wall
Cause their broken arms let her fall
She has laid her head
on your shoulder for the night
It’s so Delicate
Hold it so you feel it’s heart beat
Hold, on to it
Hold her so you feel it’s heart beat
Hold, on to it
Here he has laid his head
And he whispers now in the dark
Of all we want and all that is to come
it’s so Delicate
Hold it so you feel it’s heart beat
Hold on to it
Hold him so you feel his heart beat.
Hold on to it
Hold it so you feel it’s heart beat
hold (delicately) on to it
Hold on to it
Hold on to it
Hold on to it
SIMPLE STORY
There’s something in the loss
Tripping over roses
Running in the dark drenched light
Following the blind, breaking slowly
We feel we’re slipping and then
Something opens up our wings
It’s in the music
It’s in the sun
It’s in the simple
Simple Story of a Saint
It’s in the moonlight
It’s in the dance
It’s in the Simple
Simple story of a Saint
Simple Story, Simple story of a saint
There’s something in this worlds loudness
That covers silence in the why-less sky
Slaves of space and time
Seeking merciful sweetness
Where we feel most safe
t’s in the music
It’s in the sun
It’s in the simple
Simple Story of a Saint
It’s in the moonlight
It’s in the dance
It’s in the Simple
Simple story of a Saint
Simple Story, Simple story of a saint
LIKE MIRRORS DO
You brought down the lightning
But you lost your thunder
raising hopes to light your your wondered sky
I fell up into your shining hole of comfort
Throwing blossoms in your wish filled well
Like Mirrors
The ripples burn their way through
Like mirrors, like mirrors do
Like broken mirrors, scattered do
Like mirrors, like mirrors do
Now my rolling atoms
are set against your coldness
Come into me
and don't mind the sparks
The ripples burn their way through
Like broken mirrors scattered do
Mirages of wanted water pull
Like nearly perfect mirrors do
First you called for it
Now you run from it
But there’s no stopping it
The waves, the waves are coming
My water is like your fire
Like Mirrors do
You can hide from it
Say you never wanted it
But there’s no stopping it
The waves the waves are coming
Your fire is like my water
Like mirrors do
Like Mirrors
The ripples burn their way through
Like mirrors, like mirrors do
Like broken mirrors, scattered do
Like mirrors, like mirrors do
TESTIMONY
Way up high wear choices reign
rain into your life
Pharaohs come and rights and wrongs
and wandering on the night
You can choose a lonely home
But it’s a lonely way to fall
A lonely way to go
Whats your testimony
Whats your testimony
What are you going to leave behind
Whats your epic story
Whats your epic story
How are you going to paint the sky
Paint the sky
Oooo ah oooo ah
Paint the sky
Paint the sky
Paint the Sky
Under what you thought was best
Is what is right for you
Feel the gentle pull of what you love
Guiding you
Hold on, hold on till you know the way
Hold on hold on till you know your way
It’s the only way to go
Paint the Sky
Make it a good one
Paint the Sky
It’s your only Try
Paint the sky
Paint the sky
Hold on
Hold on
You will paint the sky
Whats your testimony
Whats your testimony
What are you going to leave behind
Whats your epic story
Whats your epic story
How are you going to paint the sky
Paint the sky
Oooo ah oooo ah
Paint the sky
Paint the sky
Paint the Sky
TOO SOON
Softly goes the break
Of a heart that only knows it’s to wait
By the hand of time
Watching slowly as it turns
It’s cant come
Too Soon for us
Too soon for us to know we’re not alone
Soon, for a love
For a love that we have always known
How long for us
if you could see my face
It echoes now, it echoes now
This is our time and place
Our now could never be too soon,
Too Soon
Floating in the tied
I’m waiting patiently with the broken
(With the broken hearted)
As our stars collide
the truth will become real
it won’t be
Too Soon for us
Too soon for us to know we’re not alone
Soon, for a love
For a love that we have always known
How long for us
if you could see my face
It echoes now, it echoes now
This is our time and place
Our now could never be too soon,
Too Soon
Too Soon
TOUCH THE RAIN
I’m learning the wisdom of
this world I’m in
I watch the trees as they grow
Maybe there’s too much to know
’cause when the gardens bloom
sometimes I look away
so far
I haven’t felt the canyons melt into my heart
Touch the rain
Oh oh
Taste the sun
Oh oh
Feel the wind
Oh oh
’cause nothing really dies
all it does is change
I hope even barren land
Can heal itself
That it’s a matter of time
’cause earth is one of a kind
and in the lushest green
and brightes blue, we’re small
I know
But then again without
We’ll burn, go grey and cold
Touch the rain – touch the rain, let the river run
Oh oh
Taste the sun – with the sand on your naked skin
Oh oh
Feel the wind – don’t you wait, let it in
Oh oh
’cause nothing really dies
all it does is change
YOU FOR ME
Like the water falls
So the pond can see
The rolling clouds
Behind the trees
And the edge of near
Makes why so clear
You for me
And me for you
Fall into the sea
You for me
And me for you
Fall into the sea
Time has caused the rock to break
So the sand can fill the glass it makes
You for me
And me for you
Fall into the sea
You for me
And me for you
Fall into the sea
LINAH ROCIO & THE LIGHTHEARTED - ARMOUR & THE UNIVERSE
LOVE LETTER
My dear beloved
I fear Love As I fear you
Through my laughter I can hide what bothers me Not always
Sometimes I laugh because I laugh
I cried when you left
I cried so hard
I cried til no tears where left to cry
And I hated love
I felt empty, and worn, betrayed and used
I felt abandoned and useless
All felt useless and unworthy
It was then that I closed all doors to my heart
I closed them and I laughed
But.. I did not really laugh
After a while I started to feel joy again
I discovered music - again
And I wrote, I wrote so much
And all the while I hoped to never see you again Because seeing you meant to feel again your touch I will never forget how we sat in perfect silence Listening to bad musicans trying to be funny
And we said nothing
And just - held each other
I shall never forget that
It was then that I knew that a part of me
Belonged to you forever
And I could not say what part it was
It wasn’t my body and it was more than my heart Some would call it magic others love
i don’t know how you call it
I don’t know what it was but
i could have sat there forever
And now I’m coming back
Although it was you who left but
I’m coming
And I fear love
I fear love because more than love
I fear rejection
I fear rejection and abandonment
And blame and guilt or addicton
To not be touched To not be love That is what i fear
Yes I fear to not be loved
In fact to fear to not be loved
Belongs to love because love is so delicate
It disappears if you do not care for it
Love is like snow
It falls only under certain conditions
And it stays only for a season and then melts away
That is what I have experienced with love
And why with you is it that i want it to stay forever And then it’s not winter nor spring
It is the moment when I touch your hands and I Feel your nearness and your silence
And within this silence I can hear you
But not in words
I hear something else
And it can only be you
Because - you sound different
You sound different than the rest
And i have heard many
But you sound different
Like the palms of your hands
They felt unique and mine
As if they belonged to me
Your head on my breasts feel like the first touch Your lips when they rest on my skin
They feel like the only lips I want to have on me Everywhere softly
I want your gentle love
Yes I fear brutality and violence
Within this softness because I know it
I have known it
And now - I fear love
Maybe I have always feared it
But I’m coming my love
I’m coming
And I want to be gentle
And I want your gentle touch
Please be patient with me
I have known other than pure love I have known other than pure love
Let us be gentle my love
And not fear love
Let us be us
Let us be touched by silence When we hold each others hands When we hold each others hands
ARMOUR & THE UNIVERSE
My armour is too thick
I’ve built layers of walls around me
I function like a soldier at war
I measure things
Calculate things
Observe
I take up spaces in order to not get lost in my own
All in me just wants to go back
Back to your arms
I can still feel your hands at night
How they hold mine
It’s as if you were closer now
Closer than before
People say it’s an illusion
I have to let go
But then why do I feel you so
Why do I feel your being nearly inside me
You touched me in places no one ever has
And no one ever will
What happened
I want to hold you and touch your hair and be with you once again This incredible closeness that got lost somehow
Somewhere
We all have stories
And maybe our stories were too similar
They clashed against each other without preparing us
And I always wanted to hear more of your story
I wanted to know you more
I wanted to see
what bothers you
What excites you,
What makes you doubt yourself
What makes you see.
Your vision
Your dream
Our dreams once united us and now my dream is tearing us apart When all I wanted was to
Dream with you
Walk with you, sleep with you, eat with you. talk to you.
I wanted to travel with you.
I wanted to show you what I had seen
I wanted to lose myself in your company
And maybe that is what I did
I got lost in you
But shouldn’t we all get lost in order to find ourselves
Why does everything have to be so certain
Nothing is certain
All moves and travels
I try to catch up with the speed of light that caresses my hair and weaves in pieces of you And as soon as they are complete they start dissolving again and the weaving begins again And I try to catch a glimpse and I cry
As I see it disappearing,
Dissolving,
In front of me
I want to wear you and carry you with me
I want to feel you everywhere I go
Sometimes I pretend I’m fine
With all of you dissolving
But then I feel you again
I can still feel you rocking
Rock with me
It melted my armour
The one I wore before
But this armour is new
I don’t know what it consists of
I don’t know what it does to me and you
All I know is that I keep on breathing and I keep on doing all the things I normally do Sometimes I seek distraction
Superficial coincidences building up to major events that have no meaning
Not in the big scheme of things
At least not in a way that I believe counts
But what do I know?
I can still love you I can still love you
We don’t have to define things Remember how you said this to me?
I was lost and I was scared as I was transforming
And I tried to be the same but I couldn’t
I lost touch of you and I lost touch of me and I lost touch I begged for it
And I found it sometimes
In someone else’s arms
But it was always you I longed for
And what is this longing?
Was it really you?
Was it real?
Are you real?

ALL IS A MIRACLE
All is in motion
All moves
All breathes
The sky breathes
The earth breathes
Even the sun breathes
It turns and we turn
And all turns in harmony Beautiful connection of all with all
Nothing is being left out All has to be formed
All has to grow
All has to experience The change
The painful The healing The new
We all heal
We all carve our nature
Or our soul
Into bodies
Whatever body there is
And all vibrates within
We just forget
Sometimes it seems as if everything stands still But look
Everything is constantly moving
And changing
And learning
And everything loses the old
To become the new
It keeps transforming
We keep transforming
And in this we get washed away
By whatever it is that needs to wash away
And we let it all happen
Let it pass our surface but not our being
And the soul reflects itself in various
Shapes and forms
Throughout everything
Everything
Everything
It is not much that separates us from others Or from the other
In order to be reborn
In order to experience
A new frequency
We have to evolve
Sometimes it happens slowly Sometimes fast
All wants to be cherished
All wants to be enjoyed
All wants to be loved and appreciated All wants to be looked at
Admired
Most of all
Everything wants to be
Loved
Love is what brings all together It’s in everything and everywhere It guides us
Love is who we really are
And what surrounds us is simple yet complex It’s beauty and wisdom wants to engage with us Look how all needs time
All is energy
All moves
All breathes
And everywhere
The magic
And everywhere
The magic
The magic
FOLLOWING TIDES
Before we were born
I walked at that beach
That beach where we met
Remember
I do
I walked with you
I remember your hands
We held each others hands
And laughed
We knew we shall soon go back
Like countless times before
And we smiled
We started running
We ran so fast
Chasing each other like only children do We touched the sand
And moved the clouds with our arms
At will
We shouted at the suns and moons Surrounding us
Following the tides
And screamed at the top of our lungs
We touched each other
Making noises
Wading in water
Throwing ourselves in the soft sand
Full of joy
Full of anticipation
Excitement
We shall return
We shall return
We hold each other close
And speak ancient words
Whispering secrets
That now we don’t understand
We recognize
That love and life has been prepared for us Before we knew
We bow our heads gently
And we know we shall meet
And we shall live it
And we speak secret words That we shall forget
We make our own gestures And promise ourselves
To be let found by one another
We walk steadier More calm Smiling Nodding Waiting
We shall forget this beach
With it’s suns and different moons We won’t remember how we danced And laughed like children do
We have to forget
To be born again
That’s how things go
And we shall meet again
We shall meet
We can hear the wind whispering
It’s time
We start giggling
It’s time
The journey is starting soon
Go
Don’t miss the tide
Dive in it
Don’t wait for me I come later
And our dreams will come true
I shout
Yours and mine
And before you leave
We chase the clouds again
Moving them at will
We look at the suns and the moons Surrounding us
One more time
And we scream again at the top
Of our lungs
We laugh
Til we can’t stop laughing
Giggling like children
And we run chasing each other
Like only children do
We hold each other close One last time
And speak ancient words Whispering
We recognize that love and life Has been prepared for us Before we knew
We bow our heads gently And we know we shall meet And we shall live it
And we speak secret words That we shall forget
We make our own gestures
And promise ourselves
To be let found by one another And that we shall try to remember Remember
This
We hold each others hands again One last time
We shall find ourselves
And we let go
SPACES
The now is never as important as it is now Now is the change
Now is the transition
Now we know
And time is not real
We invented it
There are no limits
The skies are infinite and so are we
This weird electricity running through all That might frighten us or not
It enriches our being and aging Becomes irrelevant
Sometimes we get lost in the everyone In the rush of the vast masses Everyone with everyone in everyone
We have to leave spaces between us to perceive
The uniquess to which we all belong
And we all unfold to it
Sometimes we get lost in concepts that aren’t ours
Or we get lazy and get caught in the trap of conditions We have been conditioned my love
We have been conditioned Conditioned with farces and masks Maybe even masks can serve us well And what could be more important Than staying here
Stay in the now
Stay in the now
NEW COLOURS IN GOLD
New Colours In Gold
Start again
Be alive
Don’t think about tomorrow Or what you should do
What you you could have done
I do what I love to do
And I burst out like bubbles and I giggle
It’s my energy
I want to touch it
What is this
This new sensation out
Of the ordinary
I lost my habits
I lost my rules
I lost my ideals
I lost my home
I lost everything
Let me lose some more
I want to lose it all
I want to start again
I want to start again
My instincts rest on my shoulders
And they guide me like invisible friends They repeat again and again
You’re always there where you should be And I can feel my own softness coming back My warmth
I’m like waves touching your feet
Like a wave pouring out to shore
And then back in
Isn’t that life?
A wave that steps out and then
Comes back again
I want to feel it
I want to feel you
I spin with arms streched out
I feel the speed
And my whole life rewinding right there in
Front of me so fast
And in one split second
I’m back there in the past
In that room with you
And all those things I felt so attached to Are being pulled out by something
Or someone
Sucked out
I’m being stripped off everything Everything
And my clothes come off
And I’m naked
Naked in those new colours in
Gold
New Colours In Gold
And i fill so fullfilled
Peaceful
So happy
I want to share it and
I smile
I smile to everything and everyone
It’s contagious
Suddenly we all smile
We recognize each other
Even if complete strangers
And right there
Right there everything smiles
In those new colours in gold
In those new colours
BLACK SEA
Black sea
I want to get in
Take me
What is left of me?
Does it matter
Take me
Take me now
I want to be with you
I want to forget
I want to feel your
Darkness
Invisible
I won’t struggle
I won’t fight
I surrender
You let me stand at your shore
I can feel you welcoming me
And I forget myself
The concept of myself
And I cry
Your beauty
Your striking darkness
That consumes all of mine
And lets me be me again
I feel my own innocence coming back I feel my own light
Maybe brighter than before
Maybe it has always been this bright
And you accept me
You accept my darkness
And you turn it into something Beautiful
Strikingly beautiful
And never have I been so relieved To still be here
Experience the sunset
The sunrise
The air - cold and stiffening
The wind cold as ice
Wake up
wake up
Wake up to the beauty of this planet
This planet that allows you to stay This planet that allows you to live
And here you are
Black sea
Reminding me
You black beauty
And it’s all here
This is the beginning
And this is the end
What started already ended
What is there
Has already gone
What used to be is no longer
Let go
Let go
Nothing is yours
Nothing was
VISITORS
I was sitting on the bus and I was wide awake The seats of the bus made out of wood
I ran my fingers across the wood making Patterns on it
Feeling the wood as if for the first time
People in the bus
All souls with a body
Breathing
We are all souls I thought
All souls
All made out of the same essence
Just different stages different timelines
And we all struggle
We all fight for something
And we live
We are alive
We are all here for some purpose
Although it’s nothing that we could understand But in that split second I understood
I knew why we were here
I felt how all was connected somehow Interwoven
The magic incorporated in little things
Not too obvious
Little things
I looked at the sun
A ball of fire
Warm savage
Out of control somehow
But perfectly
In balance with all
Souls I thought
Souls
We are just souls that temporarily Live in bodies
All different kinds of bodies
Our bodies a miracle
The air was nearly touchable and I closed my eyes lightly
I caught a glimpse of the clouds Moving and I looked at them More intensely
What a miracle those clouds
As if they had their own life
Their own rythme
And the souls in the bus still there Still breathing
I could feel them Us
I could feel
Their joys
Their dreams
Their worries
Our bodies carrying us from the moment We are born to the moment we have Our last breath
The last breath
That last breath
I repeated it in anguish As I went back to that Moment that
Moment When I left
I could see myself from above As if I were someone else And it felt so unfair
How could it be that I were
To leave
I wanted to stay even though
It seemed hopeless to want to
At that point
But they said life could be beautiful Life is beautiful
Yes I had seen what you call
The other side
Although
I didn’t really see it
Maybe more a feeling
It’s blurred somehow It’s not fully there but It’s stored somewhere In my cells maybe
I guess I felt what I felt When I came back Back to my body Back to life
For a split second
I saw things how they are
I mean how they really are
Simple
And I was filled with a sense of peace And felt that I belonged here
We all belong here
I cannot describe it really
It’s as if peace was stored in me
I had taken that peace with me
Or maybe it had always been there
I touched the wooden chair again That fireball in the sky
How old is it
Those other souls sitting in that bus How old were they
I mean really
How old is a soul
It was as if I came to this
World for the first time
Like a visitor
Maybe sometimes it feels like
we are stuck
And the human in us seeks to find The reason
The human in us divides in right
And wrong
In good and bad
But we are more than what we think we are We are souls and we know everything Everything
It’s just hidden behind layers of thoughts And assumptions
Belief systems Theories Thoughts
Look at us how we beam when We smile
When we love
How we love
How we radiate when we laugh Uncontrolled and ridicolously loud Look outside
Look outside of what
Is taught to you to look at Look at those clouds Feel the air
Feel that wooden chair Feel the rain now
Making your clothes stick
To your skin
Little drops running down your face Your body shaking
Your body moving
Your body
It’s yours
And it won’t last
Forever
