A song about finding meaning

LYRICS:
Panahon
May mga sikretong binubulong
Kung lumipas na ba
Takdang oras na nakalaan

Sa atin
At parang ihip lang ng hangin
Tayo’y lilisan din
At kailanma’y di maiintindihan

Bakit pilit inaagaw
Ng tadhana ang bukas na tinatanaw
Kung ang buhay ay byaheng balikan
Bakit papunta pa lang ito’y tutuldukan

Ano kayang dahilan?

Panahon
Kay bilis lang minsan na di natin
Namamalayang nasayang
Oras natin sa paghihintay

Sa magpakailanman
At kapag ating naintindihan
Huli na ang lahat
Kaya’t sulitin ang bawat pagkakataon

Kahit pilit aagawin
Ng tadhana ang landas na tatahakin
Wag kang matakot
Mundo ay umiikot
Anumang kalabasan ng kinabukasan

Lahat ng bagay may dahilan

Awitin natin, sa mga bituin
Na ang kalangitan ay magpahiwatig sa atin
Ng liwanag, kanyang kaalaman
Na ang lahat ng bagay ay may dahilan

Lahat ng bagay, may dahilan


Dahilan

Lyrics and music by Andrew James Jiao
(C) 2016

He took the bus to San Jose
To the town where he once stayed
Saw the fields of rice he knew
A quaint and poignant view

He said "I've taken every step
Towards an end still never met
Now my thoughts shall now return
To the brown and gentle earth"

They cry out "Birth in me a new beginning"

She swept the floor of their new home
Thoughts, they sweep through the unknown
For where time would carry her
In the vague and gray future

They cry out "Birth in me a new beginning"

The sun rises now
A new day dawning
The dew in the grass
The tears of the evening
Soon will dry up
Soon will dry up
Soon will dry up

Reservations

You've been closing your door
Hiding in vintage drawers
White facade shelters but an empty room
And not a museum
And ooh, when it falls, no one hears a sound
And ooh, you've been working for a paper crown

Reserve
Reserve your heart for me
I say reserve, oh reserve your heart for me

You've been hiding in sheets
At the end of your wits
Thunder claps as you nestle in your fears
And hope no one sees
And ooh, when it falls, no one hears a sound
And ooh, you've been working for a paper crown

Don't you trudge through flooded streets
We can walk on open seas
I tell you now
Reserve your heart for me




Magpalipas Muna

Nais mong mag-isip-isip
At sinisilid ang unos
'Di alam kailan lilihis
At sisinag din ang hiling

Bago tumawid ay sabi mo sakin na ika'y nakikinig noon
Sa 'king mga awit, sa gitna ng ingay ng lahat
Ngayo'y tahimik na

Sana'y ngumiti 
Kahit sandali

Hihimlay sa lilim ang iyong pag-ibig
Kapag ikaw ay sasandal, 'di magtatagal
Liliwanag ang mundo dahil sa iyo
Magpalipas muna
Muna
Ikaw

Kung sabihin mo, iingatan ko
Panalangin ko'y sa iyo
Tulad sa pagsalin, 'di buo ang nais sambitin
Kahit 'di mo pansin
Ako ay nananalig at ako'y nandito lang naman
Naghihintay sa 'yo

Magpalipas Muna

Ulan is a song about finding hope despite the circumstance and joy beyond the season.

----

Kumukulog nanaman ang langit
Wala na akong marinig
Sumisigaw, humihiyaw ang hangin
Ayan na ang ulan

Uulan, uulan
Uulan, uulan talaga

Dahil 'di mo 'to mapipigilan
Ang araw ay di palaging sisikat
Huwag kang matakot, tunog lang ang kulog
Huwag kang pipikit

Umiiyak ang mga alapaap
Huwag kang malungkot, sayaw nalang
Lahat 'to ay nasa isip mo lang

Sa dilim may liwanang
Sa iyong puso may pag-asa

Ulan

Wheels rolling on
Carries all your worries and your fears 
It sounds like the sky is rumbling 
We laughed and noticed why, laughed and noticed

Thunder and rain scares you 
To be on your own doesn't 
Seated with me 
I'd stay with you dear

Be on your own way 
Sorry I couldn't say 
I wished the best in everything you do 
Until the sun decides to be consumed
Be on your own way 
Sorry I had to wait 
But you were hurting and I felt it best 
To leave you on your own so you could rest 

I guess for centuries
I've never felt so close to being home
But I'm lost in outer space
Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, when you're with me

No cosmonaut stays here
Even the moon wanes too
Seated with you 
I would have stayed here

Be on your own way 
Sorry I couldn't say 
I wished the best in everything you do 
Until the sun decides to be consumed
Be on your own way 
Sorry I had to wait 
But you were hurting and I felt it best 
To leave you on your own so you could rest

When The Sun Decides To Be Consumed

The Best Estate

Feels home to me
This subtle belief
Boxes strewn across the room
Of words, of some I'll never use

But I wont second-guess
I just can't be obsessed
It's hard but time may take us far
Your honesty confirms it dear
What if time leads us apart?
Your heart is still the best estate

Oooh I can't wait until the sunrise
Oooh when the blinds begin to draw signs
In shadows
Of yes, no, maybe
I hope so

Lack of clarity
And this color scheme
Paint it into something new
Like walls you never knew endured
With you I hope there'd be no walls
It's okay not to feel so whole

The Best Estate

Widest Halls and Finest Gold

Bluest skies
Taking flight 
You never would have known it to be
The day when everyone fell asleep 

Said the man
In foreign tongues
They need no help but you just could not 
Let go of them, the ground was golden red

And it goes on and on 
It goes on and on with you

Widest halls
Finest gold
The face she wears is neon blue
She suffocates you with untruth

And it goes on and on 
What do these dreams intend to do?

Wake up now 
You fell down below 
But you're better now
Wake up now
Don't you mind, you'll find
That you're already found
