Lament of the mapmaker

[Verse] Whispering secrets under starry skies Lost in your eyes like morning sunrise Every single heartbeat feels more alive Together we bloom like flowers in July [Verse 2] Holding your hand in a crowded street Our love a rhythm no one can beat Your gentle smile makes my heart skip In your embrace I find my sweet retreat [Chorus] With you close I'm never alone Your love's my melody setting the tone In your arms I've found my home With you close I'm never alone [Verse 3] Laughter echoing in moonlit nights In your presence everything's right Painting dreams in the canvas of our lives With your love my spirit thrives [Bridge] Through rain or shine we stand so strong Humming the lyrics of our own song No need for words when hearts align In this love Forever intertwined [Verse 4] Traveling roads where love stories grow Casting shadows with a soft glow Every moment our passion ignites In your arms I take flight

Eva’s Trots Songtekst [Verse 1] Eva loopt door de storm, het hoofd omhoog, Diepe dalen achter haar, zoveel wat ze verloor. Maar ze bouwde haar leven, plank voor plank, Een railsysteem van dromen, waar ze zelf voor dankt. [Pre-Chorus] Ze kijkt naar haar dochter, ziet haar eigen kracht, Een spiegel van hoop, die het leven verzacht. En naast haar, haar hondje, klein maar trouw, Hij geeft haar een reden, hij houdt van haar jou. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Verse 2] De wegen waren krom, het pad zo zwaar, Maar ze bleef altijd vechten, met een blik zo klaar. Haar verleden mag fluisteren, ze luistert niet meer, Ze kijkt naar de toekomst, voelt de zon steeds weer. [Pre-Chorus] Elke stap een overwinning, elke traan een les, Eva bouwt haar wereld, steen voor steen met succes. En haar hondje, zo klein, maar een grote vriend, Een sprankje licht in het donker, waar hij altijd dient. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Bridge] Geen berg te hoog, geen dal te diep, Ze hield zich vast aan wat ze lief. Een moeder, een vechter, een vrouw met een plan, Eva schrijft haar verhaal, met haar eigen hand. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Outro] Eva kijkt naar voren, haar blik zo vrij, Met haar dochter en hondje aan haar zij. Een leven vol liefde, ondanks de pijn, Eva’s trots zal altijd bij haar zijn.

Dasarnya ya kemampuan untuk bisa menerima dan percaya. Pelan-pelan, dibangun bersama. Mungkin dalam beberapa keadaan akan terasa lamban, namun menitipkan rasa percaya untuk hal di luar kemampuan kita terkadang lebih baik daripada memaksakan selera pada titik yang tak seharusnya. Jika menunggu itu membosankan, orang yang tepat hanya butuh penyesuaian dalam batasan yang tak kau sadari. Tiba-tiba terjadi, dan kau yakini bahwa Ia adalah rumah yang tepat untuk kau singgahi. "Home it's not a place, it's feeling" jadi yaa, cocok-cocokan, selama diusahakan. Kita, dengan perpaduan selera dan dibantu oleh semesta, menciptakan tatanan yang nyaman untuk tahun-tahun kedepan.

The Fire once filled me It could now be extinguished I'll never see another day Where I see my future And I will live my life I got nothing to lose And I'll never feel the shame No matter what you do You'll never take my place But maybe you were wrong You'll never feel ashamed You didn't know my name Till I was gone And you never felt a thing Now I'm just a memory All my dreams come true Because of what you have done My soul may carry on never feel again Never will I feel this way Never have a chance again And never will I say goodbye

Verse 1 The fire’s gone, the hearth is cold, The sturdy walls now crumble, old. Her home destroyed by cruelest hands, She walks away from familiar lands. Beneath the frost, she takes her place, Among the foes with hardened face. Not for honor, pride, or fame, But just to live—no other aim. Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Verse 2 She cloaks herself in dark disguise, And walks among the enemy’s lies. Their flags are raised, their voices grim, Their fight’s not hers, yet she’s with them. “Perhaps,” she whispers, “hope will stay, And guide me through this stormy way.” But love’s embrace is far and thin, And cold regret creeps deep within. Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Bridge Not for riches, not for pride, But just to keep her soul alive. The battlefield becomes her stage, Her youth consumed by endless rage. Still, deep within, a small light burned, For kinder days, a peace she yearned. Verse 3 But time was cruel, her years were few, Her heart was strong, her spirit true. Beneath the stars, she met her end, A fleeting life the world won’t mend. The evil cause for which she bled, A bitter path her fate had led. Her name now lingers in the wind, A tale of loss, a heart that sinned. Final Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Outro So fades the tale of a girl so fair, Her dreams now dust, her heart laid bare. Though skies may weep and winds may cry, Her fleeting hope will always die.

I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve thought up journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

Verse 1: I know I’ve broken what we had, And I see the pieces scattered on the floor, I never meant to make you sad, But now I’m lost and I’m wanting more. I’ve been thinking 'bout the words I didn’t say, About the love I let slip away, I’ll give anything to go back in time, To fix the mess, to make you mine. Pre-Chorus: I know I’ve hurt you, made you cry, I never meant to say goodbye, But if you’ll let me, I’ll make it right, I’ll fight for us with all my might. Chorus: I’ll make it right, I’ll show you how, I’ll be the one you can count on now, I’ll heal the wounds, I’ll mend the scars, I’ll love you like you’re my shining star. I’ll make it right, just give me a chance, I’ll hold you close, I’ll make us dance, I’ll prove that I’m the one you need, Just come back to me, don’t let me bleed. Verse 2: I see your face in everything I do, In every memory, I think of you, The quiet moments, the laughter too, Now all I have is a heart so blue. I took for granted all we shared, Now I’m sitting here, completely scared, But if you give me one more try, I’ll make things right, I’ll never lie. Pre-Chorus: I know I’ve hurt you, made you cry, I never meant to say goodbye, But if you’ll let me, I’ll make it right, I’ll fight for us with all my might. Chorus: I’ll make it right, I’ll show you how, I’ll be the one you can count on now, I’ll heal the wounds, I’ll mend the scars, I’ll love you like you’re my shining star. I’ll make it right, just give me a chance, I’ll hold you close, I’ll make us dance, I’ll prove that I’m the one you need, Just come back to me, don’t let me bleed. Bridge: I know I’ve made mistakes, But my love for you won’t break, I’ll give you all of me, If you can find it in your heart to see. No more doubt, no more fear, I’ll be the man who’s always here, I’ll give you all I’ve got inside, Just take my hand, come back to my side. Chorus (Repeat): I’ll make it right, I’ll show you how, I’ll be the one you can count on now, I’ll heal the wounds, I’ll mend the scars, I’ll love you like you’re my shining star. I’ll make it right, just give me a chance, I’ll hold you close, I’ll make us dance, I’ll prove that I’m the one you need, Just come back to me, don’t let me bleed. Outro: I’ll make it right, I’ll find a way, I’ll love you forever, every day. I’ll make it right, I’ll never stray, Just let me show you, we’ll be okay.

The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, no need for anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, the stars burning out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return
