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 that 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 planned out 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 that 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 tears 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 that 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 that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
Very slow sad acoustic indie folk ballad
English
The lyrics evoke a deep sense of melancholy and frustration, highlighting feelings of being trapped and unable to move forward in life. There is a pervasive sense of resignation, as the narrator acknowledges their dreams and ambitions while feeling immobilized and unrecognized by the outside world.
This song is suitable for introspective moments, such as when one is reflecting on their life choices or dealing with feelings of stagnation. It can be used in personal playlists for relaxing or meditative settings, as well as in films or shows that explore themes of self-discovery and inner conflict.
The song structure follows a lyrical narrative style with vivid imagery and metaphor, utilizing the metaphor of maps and ocean imagery to convey internal struggles. The repeated phrases create a sense of rhythm that complements the slow tempo typical of acoustic indie folk, while maintaining a cohesive theme throughout the verses.
[Verse] Sean’s got a big heart but he’s always a step behind Can’t remember where he left his keys always in a bind He tries to play it cool but he’s tangled like a vine He’s the kind of guy who leaves yesterday behind [Verse 2] He’s the one who’ll wear mismatched shoes Always forgets to pay his dues Yet there’s a kindness in his blues He’s got a way that you can’t refuse [Chorus] Not so bright but always glowing With a heart that keeps on showing There’s a beauty in his flowing In the end it’s love he’s sowing [Verse 3] He’ll mix up dates and names Get lost on his way to games But there’s magic in his aims In his eyes Unlit flames [Bridge] Always late but never bitter With his smile He’s never a quitter Even when he reads the wrong Twitter He's our lovable transmitter [Chorus] Not so bright but always glowing With a heart that keeps on showing There’s a beauty in his flowing In the end it’s love he’s sowing
Belgium, oh Belgium, the heart of it all! Chocolate, waffles, and beer, so tall! From Brussels to Bruges, you’re a gem we adore, Come and explore, there’s so much more
From the alleys of Baldur’s Gate, where shadows dance and schemes are spun, A lass was born with a silver tongue, beneath the ever-setting sun. Her cloak of green, it swirls and flows, like whispers through the city’s core, With eyes that gleam like secrets kept, behold Amara Gildelore! Amara, oh Amara, a spinner of tales and dreams! Fortunes told, but none foretold the mischief in her schemes! Through taverns and bazaars she roams, a trickster to the core, Raise your glass to the Queen of Chance, Amara Gildelore! Her mother sold elixirs false, her father was a sly charade, They taught her well the art of charm, where fortunes rise and fates are made. She donned a veil, she told the stars, “Their futures lie within my lore,” And nobles knelt to her mystic guise—Amara Gildelore! Amara, oh Amara, a spinner of tales and dreams! Fortunes told, but none foretold the mischief in her schemes! Through taverns and bazaars she roams, a trickster to the core, Raise your glass to the Queen of Chance, Amara Gildelore! She’ll read your cards with a smirk so sly, weave tales of doom and glory. But when she’s gone, you’ll clutch your coin, and laugh at the twisted story. For she’s no thief, just a jester bold, who lives for the play, not the score. A wandering star, a fleeting flame—Amara Gildelore! Amara, oh Amara, a spinner of tales and dreams! Fortunes told, but none foretold the mischief in her schemes! Through taverns and bazaars she roams, a trickster to the core, Raise your glass to the Queen of Chance, Amara Gildelore! So if you spy her in the crowd, her moss-green cloak, her knowing grin, Beware the charm, the laugh, the dance—it’s a game you’ll never win. But life’s too short to play it safe; let her spin her tales once more, And toast the star of Baldur’s Gate—Amara Gildelore! Amara, oh Amara, a spinner of tales and dreams! Fortunes told, but none foretold the mischief in her schemes! Through taverns and bazaars she roams, a trickster to the core, Raise your glass to the Queen of Chance, Amara Gildelore!
[Verse] Climbing up the rugged peak Finds you more than words can speak Whispers of the ancient thrill In the mountains echoes fill [Verse 2] Mist rolls down in waves of green Nature paints a quiet scene Shadowed valleys deep and still Secrets in the morning chill [Chorus] Sing the songs that mountains know Hear the echoes as they grow Feel the heartbeat of the land Mountains hold your spirit’s hand [Verse 3] Rivers carve their winding tales Flowing through the stony trails Birds above and skies so wide In the hills the world collides [Bridge] Lost in the echoing sound Peace and wonder here are found Standing tall on nature’s rise Mountains mirror to the skies [Chorus] Sing the songs that mountains know Hear the echoes as they grow Feel the heartbeat of the land Mountains hold your spirit’s hand
[Verse] Up high on the peak lives Skaio bold Guardian of secrets ancient and old With a laugh that echoes through the snow He’s the myth The legend That all men know [Chorus] Rise to the summit with your heart's fire Seek Skaio’s wisdom and his mighty ire Tread lightly where the giants roam In the mountain’s shadow that he calls home [Verse 2] Eagles fly and whisper his name Timber giants bow without shame Glaciers thrum to his thunderous tune Under the endless silvery moon [Chorus] Rise to the summit with your heart's fire Seek Skaio’s wisdom and his mighty ire Tread lightly where the giants roam In the mountain’s shadow that he calls home [Bridge] His beard is woven with the threads of time His eyes glisten with eternal rhyme Hear his stories etched in the stone Skaio stands In a world all his own [Chorus] Rise to the summit with your heart's fire Seek Skaio’s wisdom and his mighty ire Tread lightly where the giants roam In the mountain’s shadow that he calls home
Verse 1 Beneath the boughs of the ancient tree, Where moonlight dances soft and free, A maiden fair with hair of gold, Her gaze a tale, her smile untold. Oh, knight in armor, heart so true, Do you dream of her, as she dreams of you? Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Verse 2 Her song did weave through the twilight air, A spell of longing, sweet and rare. He rode through dusk, through bramble’s thorn, To find the love for whom he’s sworn. The fates may call, the seas may roar, Yet love shall lead him to her shore. Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Bridge The willow whispers, "Do not part, For courage lives within the heart." No sword nor crown can bind the soul, When love’s sweet song becomes the goal. Verse 3 Now side by side, in dawn’s embrace, They find the world a gentler place. The minstrel sings of their love’s lore, A tale of longing, forevermore. Oh, let their vow in hearts take hold, A love more precious than kings’ gold. Final Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Outro So raise the lute, let voices soar, For love’s sweet song shall evermore Be sung beneath the willow tree, Where hearts entwine in destiny.
Title: "Sonia of the Wild" Verse 1 Fiery hair, wild as the flames, Sonia roams free, no one can tame. Green eyes like forests, deep and wise, A mystery hidden behind her disguise. She’s a wanderer, a seeker of truth, Dances through life with the fire of youth. Chorus Sonia of the wild, fierce and free, Blazing through the world like a storm at sea. She’s the wind in the trees, the wolf’s cry at night, Living by her own rules, chasing the light. No chains can hold her, no cage can bind, Sonia’s the spirit you’ll never confine. Verse 2 She loves the silence of a midnight sky, The whispering wind, the eagle’s high fly. Sonia’s the echo in the canyon’s call, The leaves that dance when autumn starts to fall. She’s not here to impress, not here to stay, Just passing through, like a river’s swift sway. Chorus Sonia of the wild, fierce and free, Blazing through the world like a storm at sea. She’s the wind in the trees, the wolf’s cry at night, Living by her own rules, chasing the light. No chains can hold her, no cage can bind, Sonia’s the spirit you’ll never confine. Bridge She walks alone, but never afraid, Through the shadows, through sun and shade. Sonia’s the thunder before the rain, The spark that ignites the untamed flame. Chorus (x2) Sonia of the wild, fierce and free, Blazing through the world like a storm at sea. She’s the wind in the trees, the wolf’s cry at night, Living by her own rules, chasing the light. No chains can hold her, no cage can bind, Sonia’s the spirit you’ll never confine. Outro Fiery hair and eyes of green, Sonia’s the wildest soul you’ve ever seen. She’s a force of nature, untamed, unplanned, A whirlwind of life, free as the land.
Bija kāds puisis, ko sauca par Sprīdi Prātoja viņš gandrīz katru brīdi Kā tikt prom no mājas un saimes Uz Angliju ceļā pēc lielās laimes Vienalga, kā citi to centās nopelt Pa lēto viņš devās sev laimi izcelt Ceļā tam diezgan bēdīgi klājās Jo lādētājs bija palicis mājās Telefons miris, un dūša tam līdzi Bet pāragri arī to dēvēt par krīzi Pirmo viņš sastapa Vēja māti Tā pūta tik traki, ka sala kāti
[Verse] From fjords and forests so green A whisper carried by the breeze Of wisdom shared and stories seen That puts the restless heart at ease [Verse 2] In halls where ancient echoes lie Learning's torch remains alight Drawing near those with hunger's sigh To turn the darkened into bright [Chorus] Skål to Bildung Spread it wide Let it cross the seas and skies From the North where it did bide To every place where silence cries [Verse 3] From books and minds that paint the dawn With dreams that ever ring so true Through lands where new paths are drawn Where soil of thought and spirit grew [Bridge] No borders hold the flame we share In song and art and words we send To gather knowledge Minds laid bare Until the world no longer bends [Chorus] Skål to Bildung Spread it wide Let it cross the seas and skies From the North where it did bide To every place where silence cries
Στην καλύβα εκεί ψηλά ΓΙνετε λαγόχαρα Μα το τσίπουρο δεν φτάνει Απ' το κτήμα του τσιγιάννη Μα το τσίπουρο δεν φτάνει Απ' το κτήμα του τσιγιάννη Μπάρμπα Γιάννη κράτα μούστο Για να βγάλεις 'κανα γούστο Μπάρμπα Γιάννη κράτα γράδα για να βγάλεις την βδομάδα Το ρακή να το προσέχεις Πρέπει Γιάννη να τα αντέχεις Πρέπει Γιάννη να προσέχεις Μες τον βίραγκα που τρέχεις
Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons
