Your Burden

If you listen closely you might here crickets in the background...and maybe even a wild pig walking through our yard (no joke, I saw them twice during our stay) ...

Hope You Enjoy !

Much love,
Nnella

Just Like You 
by Nnella

Back forever ago.
forever ago.
when we met.
There is nothing before 
nothing quite after that.
There has nothing been more
nothing been more close to me.
You don’t ask how I’ve been.
you ask if I am happy.

I stumble and fall.
I stumble and fall.
once more.
for you.
after all.
after all.
(I) just like you.

Each time that we talk
Each time we talk I’m sixteen again.
Call me by your name.
Call me by your name, my friend.
There’s not much I regret,
no there’s not much I regret like this.
Say can we meet up again,
meet up and give this story a twist?
Cause whenever I speak
whenever I speak of love.
after all.
after all 
it’s you I’m thinking off.
And whenever you’re on
whenever you’re on my mind.
I keep feeling these waves.
keep feeling these waves 
just like you.

I just like you.
…
I just like to 
be beside you.
if you’d like to.

My Own Little Prison 		- NNELLA

I’m gonna build me my own little prison, 
so I can be free again. Be free again. Be me again.
A place to escape
the noise and the bait.
Uhh, I’m tired of this freedom, we’re captured in choosing
While losing our energy.
But my own little prison of conscious decisions.
will make me

Me again.
Feel me again.
Feel, feel free again.
Be again.
Be free 
Be be me again.  
See again.
See, see me again
be again.
be again.
be be be 
be free again.

Focus ‘s a priviledge that only the rich bitches can afford.
Honey, you gotta pay if you don’t wanna pay by being brain washed.
When silence’s extinct. Say, why do we think these horrible thoughts? Weird huhh?
But my own little prison of conscious decisions, will make me

Me again….

Do we really need 12 different kinds of the same damn thing?
Oh we keep on wondering why we are so overwhelmed - while making the easy things hard.
Please let me miss most, so I don’t miss it all. 
Let me miss most, so I won’t miss   

Me again….

My Own Little Prison - NNELLA

Baddest Me			

If there wasn’t you
I guess I’d be a man’s own.
But now I’ve got rights.
And if there wasn’t you
I’d have no room of my own.
Money to decide.
And if there wasn’t all your love
Not sure I’d have the juice to thrive.
Oh
You made me dream a betta betta betta me.

If there wasn’t you 
not sure I’d believe 
passion ‘s something you can choose.
And if there wasn’t you
not sure I’d see myself the way I do through you.
And if I couldn’t count on you when shit hits the fan
would I get up each time I fall? Oh
You made me dream a betta betta betta me.
So I can now free my betta betta baddest me-e-e.

Keep on growing. On going.

Cause you made me dream a betta betta betta me.
So I can now free my betta betta baddest me-e-e.
Oh…Ahhh…

Baddest Me - NNELLA

Lyrics:

A day to remember 
what we’ve been taught to crave.
heart shaped promise 
dressed in rosé.

Child of the industry 
of a world that loves money more 
than love itself. 
Ain’t it so?

Where’s the prince? 
The only, only one?
We’ve seen him on the screen. 
When is he bound to come?

The curse of Disney. 
The damage that’s been done.
The Hearts it’s broken, one by one. 
Believing it was wrong.

But being Single is no sickness.
Enjoying it, no crime.
And there’s no better time to do so
than on Valentine.

Oh Valentine. Oh Valentine.
Soaked in sunken dreams and wine.
Oh Valentine. Saint Valentine.
How I used to pray for thy

Heart filled with longing.
To finally be seen.
To compensate the void.
Felt for a full year.

Some make love to a stranger.
Some to a bucket of ice cream
Some keep waiting for their saviour.
Swiping for the dream.

But being Single is no sickness.
Enjoying it, no crime.
And there’s no better time to do so
than on Valentine.

Oh Valentine. Oh Valentine.
Soaked in sunken dreams and wine.
Oh Valentine. Saint Valentine.
How I used to wish you mine.

Oh Valentine. Oh Valentine.
Drenched in drunken hopes and sighs.
Oh Valentine. Saint Valentine.
I am glad to be mine.

Air filled with expectations,
with sweat and with despair.
How can you satisfy your wife,
and also your affair?

So no need to waste your pity on me.
Safe it for yourself.
Being Single is no sickness. 
But I guess thanks for your help.

Yeah being Single is no sickness.
Though sometimes I wouldn’t mind, 
spewing on my calendar at the sight of Valentine.

Oh Valentine. Oh Valentine.
Soaked in sunken dreams and lies.
Oh Valentine. Saint Valentine.
How I used to wish you mine.
Oh Valentine. Oh Valentine.
Drenched in drunken hopes and sighs.
Oh Valentine. Saint Valentine.
I am glad to be mine.

Tiger 					

The tiger s born each and every night.
Made by storm. On the dark side of the light.
And I know it has its ways. It has it’s ways to bite. To bite.
And I know I’m hung.  
And I know I’m hung. 
And I know I’m hung. (…)
And I know I’m hungry for my life.

Of no use if I lose my mind.
But can we afford to shut our eyes?
So I keep on balancing on this rope of growing height. 
Keeping you in sight.
And I know I’m hung. 
And I know I’m hung.
And I know I’m hung. (…)
And I know I’m hungry for my life.

Oh when your thirst is so strong, 
you no longer feel the urge to drink.
But then the rain comes
and you almost go insane.
Have we forgotten we’re mostly made of water? 
Have we forgotten how much we need each other?

And I know I’m hung. 
And I know I’m hung.
And I know I’m hung. (…)
And I know I’m hungry for my life.

Holy Mary 							- nnella

You got a minus on your test.
Disappointment battling with relief.
Guess you were somehow wishing.
While hovering in fear.
To kick your plans and future.
And wave your dreams goodbye.
Made sure it won’t happen.
But couldn’t keep the “what if” off your mind.
What if?

Little hands, with little fingers. 
Scent of the softest skin.
The feeling of true meaning. 
Unconditional loving kicking in.
Yeah you find yourself day dreaming. 
I’d say slightly romanticizing. 
Though you know you’d be the second Holy Mary
if those daydreams came to life.
But what if?

Would it solve all of your problems? 
Guess, if they are caused by too much sleep.
Give you a sense of meaning?
Or be a sentence of 9 months and 18 years?
Would you two grow much, much closer?
Marry and get a home?
Yeah would you two be fulfilled lovers?
Or your only dates be set in court?
What if?

And you find yourself daydreaming. 
I’d say slightly nightmare like. 
Screaming bundle in your hands.
While working all the time.

And your needs, your dreams washed down the drain
in stress and in fatigue.
No money, no man.
Not even a cat. and no security.
What if?

You know you’ve chosen yourself.
At least for the next few years.
Got dreams and you’ve got visions.
Focus on your career. 
Though you know it can go hand in hand.
It’s been done before.
You know that you could have it all.
With the right support.
So what if?

Uh it is your birthday. 
Another year has passed. 
The clock keeps on ticking.
Say, how long will the battery last?
Fantasies of leaking rubber, 
Making him a father, makes you come.
You can’t deny there’s a part of you
who’d like to be two instead of one.
What if?

Holy Mary - NNELLA

Who is gonna hold you?		- nnella

Spoiled child of peace,
singing to the ticking of the bomb.
And just like with putting off anything, 
we put it off, hoping tomorrow comes.
But who’s gonna hold us then?
Say who will hold you?
Who ’s gonna hold you?
Who ’s gonna hold you responsible? 

For showing no response ability.
Future me,
Are you still feeling overwhelmed 
by your own limitations?
Or finally got your ass up, 
became part of a wave
that lets them know
“We hold,
And we will hold you. 
We’re gonna hold you.
We’re gonna hold you responsible.”
?

Who Is Gonna Hold You - NNELLA

Butter & Flies                 - nnella

I go for a walk. myself on a leash.
I am my own dog. I am my own priest.
I am the beauty and I am the beast. 
Let me off the leash. Let, let me off my leash. 

Will we ever guess who we truly are? 
It’s never been too late to re-re-restart. 
Oh courage my friend, hold my bleeding heart. 
Inside where butterflies dance with wolves in the dark
is my free

soul listening through the cracks of my heart.
You know it’s never just an ending but a start. 
You go wherever your love needs to be.
Come back
oh set me free. 

You wanna go somewhere where no one else has gone? 
You wanna go so far, bathe in the unknown? 
You wanna be someone. You wanna be someone. 
But most of all you wanna be loved.

Yes, you wanna do. What noone else has done.
Wanna go so far, bathe in the unknown.
You wanna be someone. Someone for someone.
& you are gonna make it. mean something. 
after all

you’re my free
soul listening through the cracks of my heart.
You know it’s never just an ending but a start. 
You go wherever your love liberates. 
Come back
and oh will I beg you to stay.

Would you stay with me?
Say would you stay with me?

We will make it mean something.

In A Way

NNELLA likes to scratch that itch. With a hint of irony - and a penchant for the absurd. 
The Austrian Art Pop musician who currently lives in Berlin has started releasing music on her own record label “very hairy records” in 2020. 
Ever since she has received two Sound@V Awards for her Debut Album “Dear Beloved Asshole,” – as well as a film festival award at the Crossing Europe Festival Linz for the music video of her song “I Accept”.

NNELLA has played support for names such as Roo Panes, Sophie Hunger and My Ugly Clementine – and joined CATT on her Germany Tour last December.

Her new Album “Close To A Reality” will be released this April and is written in Englisch as well as NNELLA’s mother tongue “Vorarlbergerisch”, a German dialect spoken in the very west of Austria. 
An emotional rollercoaster celebrating the highs and lows in life - while trying to make sense of it all.
