Lyrics

You’re sitting across the room
I’m scrolling through my phone
It’s an unseen truth
About what’s going on 

You don’t hear me when I speak
Hide away and it’s time to sleep
Feels bittersweet, incomplete
Quiet games, you’re moving on 

39 minutes of unreasonable pain
I’m mine before I give myself away
I’m open but some parts of me 
Will remain the same
The same

It’s a bittersweet move
Your bittersweet move

I’m the girl who loses things
Too transient to stay
I can see it swinging in your eyes
The feelings about to fade

And this is a slow dance
One blink I’ll catch a glance
Of your hurried mind
Unbalanced realities
Maybe it’s time to free
Our lethal cynic lives 

55 minutes of unreasonable pain
But I’m mine before I give myself away 

I’m open but some parts of me 
Will remain the same
I’m open but some parts of me
Will remain the same
I’m open but some parts of me 
Will remain the same 
The same

It’s a bittersweet move
Your bittersweet move 
Your bittersweet move
Bittersweet move

Lyrics

The feeling is coming
Surrounding me
Our silent bodies
Burning in my sleep
A drink or two
I’m the weakest link
You got 
Underneath my skin

They say you have
A second heart
Where you hide
Your favourite flaws
I guess I’m down
For your master plan
Even though
I hate your stupid games

Hypnotised
Holographic sickening love
I guess I’m mine tonight
But as the purple light turns off
The purple light turns off

I fall back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
I fall right back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh

Outshine all senses within
I wish I could
But you’ve got me beat
Baby I’m just another 
Curious girl
Incandescent warmth
As you come close

Hypnotised
Holographic sickening love
I guess I’m mine tonight
But as the purple light turns off
The purple light turns off

I fall back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
I fall right back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh

I fall right back to, fall right back to

Hypnotised
Holographic sickening love
Hypnotised
Holographic sickening love
I fall right back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
I fall back to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
I fall right back to
I fall right back to you

Lyrics

Last night you came to me 
In my dreams
I thought about the record I left behind
Left behind 
Do you ever think about 
The stories we shared
The deranged kind of love that locked us in a twisted line
Twisted line

I wanna wrap you in my arms, babe
The urgent way I’d feel my spine ache
For you to wrap me in your arms, babe
I wanna live in fight or flight again

Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past

Deep down I’ve always known 
I felt too much
You gave too little, lost pieces, 
Euphoric heart
Euphoric heart

I wanna wrap you in my arms, babe
The urgent way I’d feel my spine ache
For you to wrap me in your arms, babe
I wanna live in fight or flight again

Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
How lucky did we get
Immediate glorious mess
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Intrusive thoughts I get
But I’ve been stuck I guess

Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past
Souvenirs of a parallel past

Lyrics

Hoje eu cheguei
E não tinha mais você pra contar
Como eu fiquei
Depois que fecharam as cortinas

Fecham-se as portas
Mas eu abro minha janela
É como eu escolho 
Te reverenciar
 
A falta de luz não consegue esconder (esconder)
A imensidão que é tá tão perto e longe de você
 
Baby, eu acho que eu cansei
Dessa realidade virtual
Do amor, de quem quer ver
Por trás da dança dos teus olhos
Corte fundo é escorrer
Das águas que separam a nossa pele
Baby, eu desconectei
E acho que daqui pra frente é real (yeah)
Acho que daqui pra frente é real
 
Baby, it’s a lying game
Lost in virtual scenes I can’t escape
Square modern days
But I can’t feel you from a distant frame
And I am drifting away, I am drifting away yeah
I, I am drifting away, I am drifting away
 
Baby, eu acho que eu cansei
Dessa realidade virtual
From the love of those who want to swing
Behind the magic of your eyes
I’m ready for some real skin
Maybe it’s our time to disconnect
Baby, eu desconectei
E acho que daqui pra frente é real (yeah)
 
Acho que daqui pra frente é real
Acho que daqui pra frente é real 
Hmm Hmm Baby 
Hmm Hmm Hmm

daqui pra frente

Lyrics

It seems like
This is the step I take
To see you
It seems like
Halfway here
I lost the truth

Empty mugs
All that I am
On the kitchen floor
Vulnerable me
Dripping down the sink
All that’s in between

And I shift and change
And I rearrange 
And I fill with rage
And I try again
And it’s all about
The way I hold my mind
And I if I keep you close
I might free your mind

And I hold your body 
Like you’re holding mine
And I feel the cure
Running down my spine
It’s a strange exchange
The way we’re shattered now
But I feel alive

When I hold on to you
Unfold you
Hold on to you
Hold on to you

Let me be
The one who holds you close 
Intertwined 
I’m your ghost
Our veins, blood
Flows through me

It seems like
This is the step I take
To see you
To see you

And I shift and change
And I rearrange 
And I fill with rage
And I try again
And it’s all about
The way I hold my mind
And I if I keep you close
I might free your mind

And I hold your body 
Like you’re holding mine
And I feel the cure
Running down my spine
It’s a strange exchange
The way we’re shattered now
But I feel alive

When I hold on to you
Unfold you
Hold on to you
Hold on to you

Unfold you (unfold you)
Unfold you (unfold you)
Hold on to you (unfold you)

Lyrics

I never know where I stand
Never know where to land
Where to begin

Is it between your waves 
Or your sand
In the cold of your expectations 
Or in the warmth of your hands

You see
I got a plan (I got a plan)
For every time I come undone
I hold my limbs and my head

You left it quiet (You left it quiet)
But I wasn’t blind
I could see the damage
You move, but you can’t hide 
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide 
Hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide 

I saw your eyes crossing mine
From my window I can see the signs
Your words are a language of blurry lines

I’m not waiting for you to decide
What is gold and what’s to undermine 
We collide 

I, I got a plan (I got a plan)
For every time I choose to run
I hold my limbs and my head

You left it quiet (You left it quiet)
But I wasn’t blind
I could see the damage
You move, but you can’t hide
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide 
Hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide (You can’t hide)
You can’t hide 

Hide
You can’t hide
You can’t hide
You can’t hide
You can’t hide

Sand

“She has a soulful and dexterous voice and a sound that is thoroughly contemporary with programmed beats, vocal harmonies that could be the Staves, a melody that could be Solange and a folky Alt Pop sensibility that could be Arlo Parks. Mostly though, it is classy, dynamic and impressive. A real talent.” Neil March, Fresh On The Net

__

Described as “classy, dynamic and impressive”, Nadedja’s music has always had the power to mesmerise and captivate audiences - an uncanny, intrinsic talent first visible as a 12-year-old songwriter. UK-based but Brazilian-born, Nadedja’s alt-pop sound is the perfect blend of intoxicating and magnetic soundscapes coupled with her ethereal signature vocal delivery. 

Inspired by the music and songwriting of Maggie Rogers, Rosalía and MUNA, Nadedja’s upcoming music captures a devotion to raw emotions and gut feelings, whilst exploring ways to free those passions through sensational pop textures, catchy hooks and compelling melodies.

Since the release of her independent debut EP ‘Transient’, Nadedja has been championed by national radio airplay on BBC 6 Music, and is one of BBC Introducing North-East’s ‘Tips for 2022’. Her music has been playlisted on daytime BBC Newcastle shows and featured on a BBC Sounds podcast, alongside numerous plays on Amazing Radio, BBC Tees and North-East Introducing shows. She’s also received extensive support from renowned organisations such as Help Musicians, Sage Gateshead and Generator. ‘Transient’ has enjoyed widespread coverage in publications around the world, including several features in Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net blog, and the Brazilian tastemaker blog ‘Nação da Música’. 

Nadedja has supported acts such as Mica Paris, Rose Cousins, Ajimal and Cattle & Cane, as well as festival appearances including Latitude, Dot to Dot, Tour de Moon and the BBC Introducing stage at Stockton Calling. In 2021, Nadedja was the very first artist to headline Sage Gateshead’s ‘From The Glasshouse’ concert series. She’s expanded her international presence by performing on several occasions on Live Brazilian TV, including a morning news show on Globo. In 2022, her brand-new music video for ‘Holographic Sickening Love’ was selected as one of June’s best independent videos of Brazil, by the esteemed Hits Perdidos tastemaker platform.
