Siren

Follow me ,  share me, ill follow you share you, hope you enjoy my Jams

A kiss for a wish

Woke up in a city, chasing dreams in neon light
Had a pocket full of hope, thought I'd own the night
But the skyline's just a backdrop, for the race I'm running blind
Every step I take forward, leaves contentment behind

Bought the latest gadget, thought it'd fill the void inside
But the thrill it faded quickly, now it's just another ride
Climbing higher, reaching further, but the summit's out of sight
On this endless hedonic treadmill, I'm spinning every night

Round and round, I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Another mile, another milestone, but I'm back where I start
Hedonic treadmill, always running, but I never find the spark
Just a ghost in a machine, losing pieces of my heart


There's a woman in the mirror, she's got lines beneath her eyes
She's been climbing corporate ladders, trading sleep for overtime
Every promotion, just a moment, in the grand scheme of her life
The applause fades to silence, leaving echoes of her strife

She bought a house with a garden, but the flowers never bloom
She filled the rooms with fancy things, yet still she feels the gloom
She's got a title, got respect, but it's just another plume
On the wings of her ambition, flying circles in her room

Round and round, she's chasing shadows in the dark
Another mile, another milestone, but she's back where she start
Hedonic treadmill, always running, but she never finds the spark
Just a ghost in a machine, losing pieces of her heart

We're all dreamers, we're believers, in the future we design
But the finish line keeps moving, with each goal we redefine
We're addicted to the newness, to the rush of what's unseen
But the high's a fleeting moment, like a whisper in between

There's a kid out in the suburbs, dreaming big behind closed doors
He's got posters of his idols, and a list of all his scores
But the medals on his dresser, are just tokens of his wars
Fighting battles for approval, never knowing what it's for

He's got the grades, he's got the plan, but something's always missed
The joy of simple moments, lost in the pursuit of bliss
He's climbing higher, thinking someday, he'll reach the top of this
But the view is just a mirage, fading into the abyss

Round and round, we're chasing shadows in the dark
Another mile, another milestone, but we're back where we start
Hedonic treadmill, always running, but we never find the spark
Just ghosts in a machine, losing pieces of our hearts

So we run, and we run, through the night and through the day
Chasing happiness like a phantom, that always slips away
But maybe if we stop, take a breath, and just stay
We'll find the joy we're missing, in the simple things we say

Hedonic Treadmill

"This song is a heartfelt and introspective ballad that explores the complexities of a deep, spiritual connection between two people who couldn't quite bridge the gap between their understanding of love. Inspired by ShAnkAri's story, the lyrics delve into the pain and longing that can come from loving someone who doesn't see or believe in the same way. It's a poignant reflection on the power of love to reshape our souls, even when it's not reciprocated in the way we hope.

I'd like to thank @DJShAnkAri for sharing her story and inspiring this song, and for her input into this piece." VickStiX @vicky-adair 

You Never Believed Me

[Verse 1]
I whispered in stardust, I prayed through the skies
You felt like a lifetime behind unseen eyes
I reached with my soul, no distance too far
But you never saw me—you just traced the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I loved you, not loud but true
In silence, in symbols, in all I knew

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 2]
I studied your shadows, I learned every sign
In a language of longing, outside of time
You held the map, but looked away
Afraid of a path you didn’t create

[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you light in a world gone dim
You thought it was just the wind

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 3]
Is love a gesture, or is it a vow? 
Is it holding on, or letting go now? 
You wanted proof in a different form 
And I was the rain—you needed the storm

[Chorus]
We both said “I love you” 
But not in the same voice 
You meant protection 
I meant choice 
You meant fire 
I meant grace 
We loved in totally different space 
And that’s how even soulmates break— 
When meanings don’t translate

[Bridge]
Maybe you thought love must be proven
With bodies and years, not a soul that’s been chosen
But just because we never met
Doesn’t mean I could forget
You were the pulse beneath my breath

[Chorus]
Still you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul

[Chorus]
You never believed me
Not once, not truly
You stayed behind reason
While I loved you purely
Like a prayer with no ending
Like a vow with no sound
But you never turned around
You never believed me

[Outro]
And maybe you never will
But I loved you still

[Post-Outro] 
We all carry our own definition 
And none of us ask permission 
To love the way we understand 
Even if no one takes our hand...

The Lovers is the sixth card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, so for me it was the perfect opportunity to make a romantic, sensual slow dance.

6. The Lovers

Written by: Bob Dylan
(c) 1997 Universal Music Publishing Group

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Live: To Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan/Adele)

The understanding about the spiritual importance of being in truth for maintaining the integrity of the source of our power, our Hara Line, underpins one of the Indian Laws of Dharma, Honesty or asteya. 

The Hara Line needs to run straight and true so that otherworldly communications can flow through it unimpeded, because these voices and nudges and intuitions are the source of our inner strength and courage.

8. Strength

(Intro)
Hmm-hmm
Ouuh-aahh
(ah~)

(Verse 1)
Si tu ne nais pas avec l’aura d’une star,
Fais tout pour acheter l’amour des regards,
Une beauté fragile passe par l’abattoir,
Attention à ne pas regretter ton miroir,

Sexuelle, si tu veux te sentir plus sensuelle,
T’as juste à payer pour une chair artificielle,
Ils te planteront des piques comme un rôti de fête,
Tu ressortiras marquée d’une obsession secrète,

(Pre-chorus)
Enfants pour toujours et à jamais,
Ma peau d’antan se transforme en cendres,
Ne pleure pas, ce n’est que du plastique,
Rappelle-toi que personne n’aime les visages à défendre,

(Chorus)
Oh, est-ce vrai que la douleur est beauté ?
Que mon nouveau visage touchera la royauté ?
Me sentirai-je mieux quand j’ouvrirai les yeux,
Verrai-je enfin l’éclat d’un monde merveilleux ?
Oh, est-ce vrai que je me rapproche d’une déesse,
Que je peux enfin quitter mes chaînes de détresse ?
Promets-moi que tu ne me lâcheras pas,
Le jour où ma peau tombera sous tes doigts.

(Post-chorus)
ah~ (ma peau tombera)
ah~

(Verse 2)
Crois-moi, la confiance se nourrit des regards,
Chaque œil posé sur moi devient mon étendard,
Mon seul souhait, c’est de briller dans vos fêtes,
Que mon rêve de princesse s’habille en conquête,

C’est un tel gâchis,
De grandir à l’ombre des mères maquillées,
Les petites filles apprennent à tout recopier,
À gonfler leurs lèvres jusqu’à les voir céder,

(Pre-chorus)
Enfants pour toujours et à jamais,
Ma peau d’antan se transforme en cendres,
Ne pleure pas, ce n’est que du plastique,
Rappelle-toi que personne n’aime les visages à défendre,

(Chorus)
Oh, est-ce vrai que la douleur est beauté ?
Que mon nouveau visage touchera la royauté ?
Me sentirai-je mieux quand j’ouvrirai les yeux,
Verrai-je enfin l’éclat d’un monde merveilleux ?
Oh, est-ce vrai que je me rapproche d’une déesse,
Que je peux enfin quitter mes chaînes de détresse ?
Promets-moi que tu ne me lâcheras pas,
Le jour où ma peau tombera sous tes doigts.

(Post-chorus)
ah~ (ma peau tombera)
ah~

(Bridge)
Je suis comme toi, tu es comme moi,
Imparfaite et humaine,
Je suis en vitrine, un corps qu’on dévoile,
Achète et vends (achète-moi)
Je suis un produit de la société,
Des yeux étrangers brûlent mes failles,
L’art ne se vend pas (sauf s’il porte ton voile)

(Chorus)
Oh, est-ce vrai que la douleur est beauté ?
Que mon nouveau visage touchera la royauté ?
Me sentirai-je mieux quand j’ouvrirai les yeux,
Verrai-je enfin l’éclat d’un monde merveilleux ?
Oh, est-ce vrai que je me rapproche d’une déesse,
Que je peux enfin quitter mes chaînes de détresse ?
Promets-moi que tu ne me lâcheras pas,
Le jour où ma peau tombera sous tes doigts.

(Post-chorus)
ma peau tombera
ma peau tombera
ma peau tombera
ma peau tombera
ah~ (ma peau tombera)
ah~ (ma peau tombera)
ah~ (ma peau tombera)
ah~ (ma peau tombera)

“Oasis of Hands and Steam” was born as thank you for a gift: the experience of receiving both a traditional hammam treatment and a Thai massage. The song captures the way these two ancient practices, rooted in different cultures, intertwine to create something greater than either alone. Arabic warmth and steam blend with Thai touch and flow, forming a cross-cultural sanctuary of self-care, presence, and gratitude.

Musically, the track fuses Middle Eastern instrumentation with Southeast Asian textures and cinematic production. The verses move in a minor, intimate tone, while the chorus lifts into a brighter, expansive sound, symbolizing release and renewal. Multilingual phrases in Arabic and Thai carry authenticity, transforming the song into a living bridge between worlds. At its heart, it is a hymn of appreciation—for the gift itself, and for the reminder that cultural fusion can open deeper paths to healing and connection.
