A reflection on Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline

Ambitions as a Writer

“A House Is Not a Home (Unless You’re There)” tells a story of profound longing and solitude. The lyrics reflect on the emptiness within four walls when love is absent. The song opens with vivid imagery of empty rooms, where echoes are cold, and every corner is haunted by memories. Through verses filled with lines like “I walk these halls, but I feel alone” and “Pictures hanging, memories fade,” it reveals how deeply love fills a home with warmth, while its absence leaves a hollow shell. Curtains remain closed, windows bare, and the silence is almost tangible, amplifying the despair and loneliness felt in each room. In a powerful bridge, the lyrics plead for just one touch, one embrace to bring life back to the space, capturing how deeply tied emotions are to our surroundings. This soulful ballad explores themes of love, loss, and yearning, highlighting that bricks and walls do not make a home; it’s the presence of loved ones that breathes life and warmth into it.

A House Is Not a Home (Unless You’re There)

There's a song about love, you see
About the fire in your soul and the misery
It’s got all the lines, the heartbreak and cries
Where love lifts you up, then punches your eyes

But isn’t it something, isn’t it strange
To write about love in this clinical cage?
It's all metaphors, hearts torn and burning
Same as the last tune, we’re barely learning

It’s a song about nothing, and I mean it, too
Verse after verse, yeah, we’re just passing through
No wars, no peace, no heroes that sing
This one’s a song that don’t mean a thing

Now there’s that big track about fighting the power
For social injustice, the darkening hour
Yeah, we’ll bang the drums and shout in rhyme
‘Bout how everything’s awful most of the time

But do we solve it? Nah, not today
Just riff on the problems and look away
Sing like we’re soldiers, but don’t hit the street
Hey, singing in safety is kinda sweet

It’s a song about nothing, and I mean it, too
Verse after verse, yeah, we’re just passing through
No wars, no peace, no heroes that sing
This one’s a song that don’t mean a thing

Let’s get deep, write a verse introspective
Like I’m some sage or the world’s detective
Sing about doubting, imposter inside
Like I’m the only one along for this ride

Yeah, we’re so complex, so layered and grand
With our earnest guitars and our five-piece band
But do we solve it? Nah, we just play
Deep as a puddle at the end of the day

It’s a song about nothing, and I mean it, too
Verse after verse, yeah, we’re just passing through
No wars, no peace, no heroes that sing
This one’s a song that don’t mean a thing

And so here we stand, no topic, no end
No big revelation, no message to send
Just four chords and a hook, all out of space
A song about nothing, a lyrical chase

So clap along, it’s empty and bold
Just a catchy tune that’s already old
It’s empty and hollow, a beautiful bluff
Yeah, sometimes nothing is just enough

A Song About Nothing

We Ain't Got To Talk About It

Abandoned House

On a stage where the light never lingers,
We wear the roles that each moment threads.
Gestures scripted by time’s woven fingers,
Steps the eye can’t catch, nor words be fed.
Masks slip from skin, shedding so light,
And silence rehearses what waits to be spoken.
In the weave that the body quietly bears,
What is shadow and will stand raw, awoken.

We are bodies in a story unbound,
Figures that dance with no destined line.
Each word draws the hour in fleeting rounds,
In a tale that time drafts, close and fine.
Between applause and scenes of fire,
Identity folds, reveals not its wire.

Beneath the veil of curtains raised,
We shift in form, leaving no trace.
What was rehearsal, now improvises the gaze,
And the role unspools, a crumpled grace.
Each step etches out what sight won’t find,
The stage calls echoes from depths untold.
Between being and acting, a tangled bind,
Where I and the other tremble, unfold.

Ancient scenes breathe once again,
The play never ceases, only renews.
And the body, in constant creation,
Draws lines that time diffuses, unglued.
Each act, a sketch torn apart,
In a dance that eyes seek and chart.

I Can Still Feel You

Performed, produced, mixed and mastered by Yazata

Lyrics:

Sometimes I find
Got the world on my mind
Can't seem to shake
This sad feeling ache

Ah I'm feeling down low
Yeah I'm feeling down low
Feeling down low
Sometimes

When I look at you
And the things that you do 
For me
Should I be ashamed
Of my feelings of pain
Right here

Ah I'm feeling down low
Yeah I'm feeling down low
Feeling down low
Sometimes

Ah finding my way
Out this blue crazy sway
It's all I can do
To keep pushing through

Feeling down low
Feeling down low
Feeling down low

I'm Feeling Down Low

"Redhawks – Hjärta Och Stolthet" är en kraftfull och energisk hyllning till Malmös stolta hockeylag. Denna arena-rockinspirerade låt kombinerar tunga gitarriff med stolta hejarop för att skapa en mäktig hymn värdig lagets historia och ambitioner.

Redhawks – Hjärta Och Stolthet

Noel is a writer of songs and stories rather than a musical performer. His songs have been described as reflective as they are motivated by the struggles, celebrations and tensions of everyday life. His musical stories typically address issues as diverse as cancer and homelessness, addictions, love, loss and troubled relationships. These songs are led by the lyrics and are a mix of folk, country and blues.
Inspired by a diverse range of music from Leonard Cohen to Jason Isbell, Noel's songs took years to find their voice.Noel was born in Ireland and currently lives there but spent many years living and working in Africa. Much of his inspiration has been drawn from his own life experiences including his more recent journey with cancer. ‘Stars in Heaven’ is one of a number of songs dealing with cancer.  This particular song was chosen by Music Beats Cancer after submissions by over 800 other artists.
Noel says “ I really hope that the songs can reach a much bigger audience. I also hope that the songs can help, even in some small way, in connecting with people and in raising awareness and support for the issues they address."
