Watched the hours go by
Heard the twelfth chime half a million times
The clock's hands that I see ain't half as tired as yours are of me
I should look before I leap

Walked a mountain too steep
Should have known silent waters have their way of running deep
Tried so hard to be all the things you wanted to see
Now it's your turn, you have to earn your keep

Insomnia is what's keeping me up past midnight
And the thought of her on the phone with you till daylight...

I remember that day
Outside your car
You took my hand, said you've never felt this way 
That day I became your first love that you'd never throw away
So don't say that's not what you said

Insomnia is what's keeping me up past midnight
And the thought of her on the phone with you till daylight...

Insomnia

Hi! I'm Am Élie. I'm a 19 year old singer-songwriter and producer from Sydney. This is my song 'therapy'! I made it in my bedroom studio :)

Lyrics:
I hate therapy 
All its pointless remedies  
None of them apply to me  
I've forgotten how to feel
I wanna leave 
Lost control over the wheel  
Tired of falling gracefully  
Reaching forward aimlessly

Live like we never die
Feel like touching the sky  
Wanna live in the high  
Watch all the time passing by  
I don't feel anything tonight
Pretend that's alright

I'm-I'm tired 
Of trying to stay up in flight  
I'm-I'm-I'm
I'm running away for tonight
Every time I see the shadows fade  
They grow inside my head 
I'm-I'm-I'm 
I'm running away for tonight

No self esteem 
Wanna drown in energy  
I was sad initially 
Now I laugh in agony  
I can't help falling for my demons
I don't mind their company 
I'm my own damn enemy

Live (live) like we never die  
Feel like touching the sky (I feel like touching the sky) 
Wanna live in the high (live in the high) 
Watch all the time passing by (passing by)
I don't feel anything tonight
Pretend that's alright   

I'm-I'm tired 
Of trying to stay up in flight  
I'm-I'm-I'm 
I'm running away for tonight  
Every time I see the shadows fade
They grow inside my head
I'm-I'm-I'm
I'm running away for tonight

Live like we never die 
Feel like touching the sky  
Wanna live in the high 
Fall before we can fly  
Tell myself it's alright
Watch the time passing by 
Live like we never die 
Feel like touching the sky
Wanna live in the high 
Fall before we can fly  
Tell myself it's alright 
Watch the time passing by

I'm-I'm tired 
Of trying to stay up in flight
I'm-I'm-I'm
I'm running away for tonight

Hi! I'm Am Élie. I'm a 20 year old singer-songwriter and producer from Sydney. This is my song 'Misophonia'! I made it in my bedroom studio :)

I never liked the way you fight
The way your voice sounds when you sigh
The sound your laces make when tied
The way you say the word goodbye

I hate the way you eat at night
The air is quiet and you break it with your bite
Tapping your pen with all your might
To the beat of my throbbing mind

But I, I know I'd never say it out loud
I don't know how to not make it sound
Like I'm crazy, don't know what I'm saying
My brain keeps replaying the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound

Though your laugh sounds like grating sand
I hope you don't misunderstand
It feels so good to hold your hand
I guess some things don't go to plan

Cause you know
That I would never say it out loud
I don't know how to not make it sound
Like I'm crazy, don't know what I'm saying
My brain keeps replaying the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound
Replay the sound

Misophonia

Pareidolia - the third chapter in my 'Synesthesia' series is a 'feel-good' electropop, dance track about creating a new life after a difficult relationship, breaking old destructive patterns, and finding affirmations of this newfound positivity in your surroundings.

Lyrics:
I learned to hate all the shit that you fed my mind
I let you go out my life without blinking
That piece of mind I gave you fell right off the line
And here I am sitting in my head thinking

Shadows dance as they wave goodbye
Clouds paint hearts after rainy skies
Patterns appear when the stars align
And here are mine

I don’t wanna know
Bout where you are
What you’re doing tonight
I used to care, now I don’t
I’m seeing someone else
In that pareidolia

Oh baby I don’t wanna know
Bout where you are
What you’re doing tonight
I used to care, now I don’t
I’m seeing someone else
In that pareidolia

I wanna be like water
I wanna ride the fall
And if you don’t wanna go for gold, settle below
Why you try'na follow with my flow?

Shadows dance as they wave goodbye
Clouds paint hearts after rainy skies
Patterns appear when the stars align
And here are mine

I don’t wanna know
Bout where you are
What you’re doing tonight
I used to care, now I don’t
I’m seeing someone else
In that pareidolia...

Pareidolia

'Scared Of Silence' is a Pop EDM track about the unsettling experience of being watched by a stalker. It captures the emotional chaos of dealing with paranoia and vulnerability, and the fight to take back control.

Lyrics: 

I can’t breathe
I can hear you watching me
You fly in my dreams
I’m far from flying free 
I didn’t know I felt it from the start
Wrote love songs on your heart
Couldn’t tell your smile and spells apart

Now I’m scared of silence

I can’t breathe
I can feel you listening (listening)
Daring me to scream (scream)
Is this real or just a mind game? 
I should’ve listened to my friends from the start
“Girl stop thinking with your heart”
You said they were voices in my mind

Now I’m scared of silence

Scared Of Silence

hi! i'm Am Élie. i'm a singer songwriter from Sydney. this is my new single Phantasmagoria which i wrote and produced in my bedroom :)

Lyrics:
Hands up, you caught me red handed  
Picking the lock now I’m stranded
 I took I took you for granted 
What a silly girl

Last time I ran further 
Than ever before 
Left the house for work 
Passport in my purse
 But hands up, you caught me red handed 
 Out on the road

Pulling me back to home 
What was I running from?
 Baby you’re beautiful 
But I’m just too hard to love
 Love love love 
What was I running from?

I’m back, right where I started 
Hold hold your smile while you’re laughing  
Drink drink your tears now I’m drowning  
You pull me under, tell me I like it

Lying in your arms
 Before you disappear 
Hiding in the bar 
How did I get here? 
You whisper in my ear so quietly  
You’re so sincere

Pulling me back to home 
 “Babe what you hiding from?  
So beautiful when you crawl 
You know that I love you 
Why you so hard to love?” 
Love love love

Hold me in chains hit the wire 
Twist tales, bet they’ll feed your fire 
Pled guilt that turned on its head 
Pull your thread push me closer to the edge now I’m the liar 
It’s the seventh time I've run out your time 
Count my seconds, minutes, hours on your dime yeah
 Can’t trust my mind to explain 
So you teach me to remember
 
“Hide here they’ll never know
 Watching you where you go” (Wherever I go) 
“I love you I love you
 Don’t you forget that I love you 
Go back to sleep it was all a dream”

Hands up you caught me red handed  
“It was all a dream” 
Sorry I took you for granted 
“Just a bad dream”
 Hands up you caught me red handed  
“It was all a dream”

Wake up

Phantasmagoria

Phantasmagoria (Instrumental)

hi! i'm Am Élie. i'm a singer songwriter from Sydney. this is my new single 'Dart Throw' which i wrote and produced in my bedroom :)

Dart throw
Like wonderlights the dust falls
Hearts glow
The wind burns, the sun blows

Finding light behind my eyes
Hiding but you’re never far
Side with me, touch my scars
Blinding, now I’m seeing stars
That’s just who you are

You’re a work of art
Summit of my story arc
Moving like a tsar
Like a movie star
Fuse my heart
Baby you are

Fast flow
An eagle but you fly low
Mist blow
Remind me ‘cause I don’t know

Don’t know where to start
Can we write our story arc?
Boy you raise the bar
You’re never far
Claim my heart
You’re a work of art
Summit of my story arc
Moving like a tsar
Like a movie star
Fuse my heart

Finding light behind my eyes
Hiding but you’re never far
Blinding now I’m seeing stars
That’s just who you are

Dart Throw

hi! i'm Am Élie. i'm a singer songwriter from Sydney. this is my new single 'Phases'. 

they praise you like a song,
a cold look drowns your face.
i can’t tell what’s wrong,
it’s like all you need is space.
you say you don’t belong,
something’s out of place. 

your friends invited me to a party,
thinking you might come with me,
you say they’re distant,
you’d rather be alone,
although you said you’d go with me.

your friends say you’re going through phases
"please don’t dismay, he just needs patience,
someone to stay and give him a role to play".
your friends say you’re going through phases
ask for updates, what should I say?
it’s odd it’s strange, they keep asking me to stay

we walk back to your car
my tears fall i turn away
feel like i’m to blame
in the way you said my name
so embarrassing
i’ve never seen you this way

sorry, did i force you to go?
you say that i made you feel small
sorry, did i miss something? 
tell me what did i do wrong?
if I’m saying the wrong things
i will love you silently...

Phases

hi! i'm Am Élie. i'm a singer songwriter from Sydney. this is my new song 'Hot Cold Lover'.

Hanging on to every word
Damn our visions blurred together
Falling but it doesn’t hurt
Can I lay inside your world forever?

Boy you’re like a mirror
Show me something new
Make my eyes see clear
Infect me with your love
Baby like a river
I flow with your every turn

Hot cold lover
Like snow in summer
My leaded gasoline
When we lay here our hearts uncovered
My life in colour
I’ve never felt so free

Come watch me burn
Come watch me burn
You’re my hot cold lover
Like snow in summer
My leaded gasoline

You see deeper than a scan
Trusting me with thoughts and plans,
I love you
Say they wouldn’t understand
Boy they’ll never get you like I do, I do
I’ll share my scars
Hold your hurt left by ugly hearts
I’m stronger than you know
We’ll go fast and far
Leave no page unturned

Hot cold lover
Snow in summer
Leaded gasoline
When we lay here our hearts uncovered
My life in colour
I’ve never felt so free

Come watch me burn
Come watch me burn
You’re my hot cold lover
Like snow in summer
My leaded gasoline


Am Élie
