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 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 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
Male singer Very slow sad acoustic indie folk ballad
English
The lyrics convey a deep sense of frustration, longing, and introspection. The themes of being trapped in one's own mind and the repetition of dreams that seem unreachable evoke feelings of sadness, helplessness, and a desire for movement and change.
This song can be applied to reflective moments, such as personal journaling, creative writing sessions, or when dealing with feelings of stagnation and unfulfilled dreams. It's also suitable for introspective playlists or quiet evenings, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own paths and aspirations.
The song features a slow tempo and a melancholic melody typical of acoustic indie folk ballads. The use of metaphors related to maps, oceans, and constellations suggests a deep symbolism communicating personal journeys and limitations. The repetition of phrases emphasizes feelings of being stuck or trapped, while the imagery illustrated by the lyrics showcases a mastery of visual storytelling in music.
She’s from a broken home, a broken home, She’s from a broken home, a broken home. It’s sad, it’s all she’s ever known, A life of waiting for love to come. **Verse 2:** She hides behind closed doors, where silence screams too loud. She’s learned to wear a smile, but her eyes betray her doubt. She locks her pain away, in a box under her bed, But it finds her in the dark, whispering in her head. **Verse 3:** Her dad’s been gone for years, though he’s sitting in the chair, His eyes are distant oceans, lost somewhere out there. He used to be her hero, but now he's just a ghost, A shadow of the man she needed, when she needed him the most. **Verse 4:** Her mom’s a weary warrior, with battle scars so deep, She hides behind the bottles when she’s too tired to weep. She wears a brave face daily, but it cracks when she's alone, Carrying the weight of secrets that no one’s ever known. **Chorus:** She's from a broken home, a broken home, Where love is lost and nobody's whole. She’s searching for a place to hide, But the pieces never fit inside. She’s from a broken home, a broken home, Wishing she could heal, but she’s all alone. **Bridge:** She’s learned to stand on broken ground, But deep inside, she's lost and found. She whispers to the stars above, "Can I ever learn to trust in love?" **Chorus (Repeat):** She's from a broken home, a broken home, Where love is lost and nobody's whole. She’s searching for a place to hide, But the pieces never fit inside. She’s from a broken home, a broken home, Wishing she could heal, but she’s all alone.
[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
I'll plot the course, please come in, And just stay here for a sec. This is my way of showing you, we’ve got some vectors to check. Life’s a drag without your force, And I’m accelerating, of course. Can we just turn this into velocity? Chorus: 'Cause I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this force I’m living in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. Storms, they will come But I know that the sun will shine again He's my friend, and he says that we belong together And I'll sing a song to break the ice Just a smile from you would suffice It's not me being nice, but this is real tonight Chorus: 'Cause I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this world of motion I’m in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. I know you feel the pull. There's no other, there's no other love That I'd rather have, you know There ain't no one, there ain't no one else I want you for myself Chorus: I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this moving world we’re in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. I know you feel it too.
Verse 1: Crunchy orange perfection, Cheesy dust on fingertips Indulging in the flavor, Snack that never quits Each bite is a thrill, A symphony of crunch and taste Cheetos, oh Cheetos, You never go to waste Chorus: Cheetos, Cheetos, A snack so bold and true Light up my taste buds, With your cheesy hue Cheetos, Cheetos, I can't get enough In a world of snacks, You're the real stuff Verse 2: From puffy to crunchy, Every style is a delight Bringing joy and happiness, In every single bite No need for fancy charcuterie, or caviar on a plate Cheetos, oh Cheetos, You're the snack that's always great Chorus: Cheetos, Cheetos, A snack so bold and true Light up my taste buds, With your cheesy hue Cheetos, Cheetos, I can't get enough In a world of snacks, You're the real stuff Bridge: When I'm feeling snacky, You're the one I turn to In a sea of options, It's always you I choose Cheetos, oh Cheetos, You bring a smile to my face In a world full of choices, You're my happy place
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] Johnny and me, down by the creek, Fishin' lines in the water, not a word to speak, Sippin' on a cold one, sun sinkin' slow, We got each other's backs, that's how it goes. [Verse 2] Saturday night, headin' to the bar, Pickin' up our guitars, underneath the stars, Dancin' through the sawdust, boots on the floor, Friends like these, couldn't ask for more. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind. [Verse 3] Mary-Anne left, but we never skipped a beat, Couple of barroom boys, life ain't so sweet, Lean on each other, when the heartache shows, It's what you do when you've got bros before hos. [Verse 4] Summer nights blaze, but winters are cold, Stories gettin' older like the ones we've retold, Built on trust, stronger than the blows, A brotherhood's a bond that everyone else knows. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind.
[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
Ei ole paremaid, halvemaid aegu. On ainult hetk, milles viibime praegu. Mis kord on alanud, lõppu sel pole. Kestma jääb kaunis, kestma jääb kole. Ei ole süngeid, ei naljakaid aegu. Võrdsed on hetked, kõik nad on praegu. Elul on tung kanda edasi elu, jällegi Kronos et saaks mõne lelu. Ei ole möödund või tulevaid aegu. On ainult nüüd ja on ainult praegu. Säilib, mis sattunud hetkede sattu. Ainuski silmapilk teisest ei kattu. Ei ole mõttetult elatud aegu. Mõte ei pruugigi selguda praegu. Vähemat, rohkemat olla ei võinuks. Parajal määral saab elu meilt lõivuks. Ei ole kaduvaid, kõduvaid aegu. Alles jääb hetk, milles asume preagu. Aeg, mis on tekkinud, enam ei haju, kui seda jäävust ka meeled ei taju.
[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.
