PAST LIVES by NOVA J

On a quest to find what’s haunting me.
Yoga at sunrise, rehab by the sea,
Searching for answers, what’s it all for?
They say I’m paying for lives before.

Karma’s a bitch and I can’t ignore
The price of the pain I caused before

Blame it on my past lives, ghosts I can’t escape,
My suffering tomorrow for my sins of yesterday 
Blame it on my past lives (past lives)
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Blame it on my past lives (past lives)
(Ooooh, ooooh)

Lost in my twenties, chasing the high,
Every thrill cut deep—never knew why (never knew why)
Life keeps spinning, but what’s the deal?
How do you heal when you can’t even feel?

Screaming through the pain, praying it away
flashbacks from the past keep ruining my day

Blame it on my past lives, ghosts I can’t escape
My suffering tomorrow for my sins of yesterday 
Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)

Karma can hunt me, but it won’t take me down,
I’m rising up now on this battleground.
No more running, I’ll stand up and fight,
The ghosts can come—I’ll take back my life.

Blame it on my past lives, ghosts I can’t escape,
My suffering tomorrow for my sins of yesterday 
Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)

Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Blame it on my past lives
(Ooooh, ooooh)

PAST LIVES

BEAUTIFUL PLACE by Nova J

I’m in a beautiful place
Sitting next to your beautiful face
Left the city lights far away
In the woods where the wild things play

All of this beauty surrounds me
And yet inspiration confounds me
Why do I feel so dead inside?
What will it take to bring me back to life?

How much luxury do I need?
To satisfy this endless greed?
Will I ever feel something at all?
Or did I let that ability fall?

(Feel… feel… feel…)
(Have I lost it?)
(Feel… feel… feel…)

The wind won’t answer
The sky won’t speak
I whisper to the trees
But they just creak

What will it take to make me feel something?
Will I ever feel anything at all?
Or has a darkness taken hold
That beauty can’t dissolve?

This place is beautiful
But I am not
I left something behind
Or maybe… I forgot

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

A  song acknowledging one of the first massacre's in the formation of Isreal and the beginning of the destruction of Palestine as an entity. I get frustrated when people switch off from the whole situation justifying that in their heads because of what happened on October 7th. That was obviously terrible but it's the 77 years that need to be addressed to fix it and Israeli culture seems to have a very ingrained poison of denial to themselves what is happening and that in turn gives them a clean conscious very unusually as they ethnically cleanse the Palestinian population. This has been the case right since the forced creation of their state in 1948 it seems and October 7th is the latest big reason to continue that pressure of removing non Jewish people from the area. We all need to be candles for this or nothing is going to change. Only when we are all saying it can this giant bubble within Isreali society and in turn what the extreme powers that be do with that ignorance be burst...  Isreal is the only society that can change this but the will for them to do that may have to be forced upon them by people power because it involves actually changing their psycology and how they see other humans. They project this charade of being a moral compass when the complete opposite is true in the real world...

The example at the heart of this song is Tantura. One of the worst massacres which the Palestinians suffered however despite clear evidence it's complete denial from inside Isreal and all paper trails are very obviously covered up. The Palestinians call these moments Al Nakba (The Catastrophe)... Within Isreali society they do not even acknowledge there was a Nakba at all and it appears to be tabboo to even talk about it. Again the ingrained denial of their own past and the real truth of what happened when they forced the formation of the state. So with this context it's not ok to switch off becuase you hear terrorist/hamas/oct 7th.... The Palestinians have been terrorised by Isreal since day 0... However the Isreali's don't like to talk about those facts....

SAFE SPACE by Nova J 

Get with the program
Sorry, but no ma’am
My life’s not broken
(My life’s not broken)

So why you tryna fix it
Throwin’ snap decisions
You seem so committed
(You seem so committed)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

Pushing your opinion
Like it’s your dominion
I’ve got my own rhythm
(I’ve got my own rhythm)

You call it tough love
I call it just dumb
And now the time has come
(And now the time has come)

That you are tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

I don’t wanna go back to 2022
On my knees cryin’ — I was barely over you
I prayed my way out, with God’s good grace
Now you say get out, of my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

My life’s not broken
(So why you tryna fix it)
Pushing your opinion
(Like it’s your dominion)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

SAFE SPACE

Missing You is an emotional song about longing and heartache after losing someone special. The lyrics express deep sorrow, memories, and the emptiness left behind. With a soft melody and touching vocals, the song captures the pain of absence while holding on to love that still lingers despite the distance.

Missing you

This song dives into the controversy surrounding Trump and Musk, with lyrics that critique Trump's stance and actions. The tone is defiant and sarcastic, highlighting the tension between the two figures. It's a commentary on power dynamics, freedom, and rebellion, with a clear message about the consequences of unchecked power. 

The feud between Trump and Musk escalated after Musk criticized the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act, which Trump was backing. Trump retaliated by threatening to use the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate Musk's business contracts and even suggested deporting him. My song captures the essence of this clash, emphasizing the importance of standing up against oppression and being aware of the power dynamics at play. 

The lyrics drive home the point that Trump's actions have unintended consequences, and his threats against Musk only fuel the fire. By using Musk's situation, I'm commenting on the broader implications of Trump's actions and the importance of holding those in power accountable.

I can't stand Musk almost as much as Trump, but I do respect that he stood up against Trump's Big Beautiful Lie.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In a world where silence screams, and power wears a crown
A whisper sparks a firestorm, the empire’s burning down
The richest man, the rebel king, now stands beneath the flame
Once praised by suits and sycophants, now caught in someone’s game 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He’s no martyr, no messiah
But he spoke when few would dare
Now the tyrant lifts the hammer
And the mask begins to tear 

[Chorus]
Deport the dreamer, break the code
Let freedom choke on its own throne
First-class chaos, irony’s war
The exile knocks on freedom’s door
You made him loud, you made him vast
Now watch him rise when you cast him last
Your cage can’t hold what you set ablaze
This is the end of your golden days 

[Verse 2]
He played with fire, fed the wolves, let poison roots take hold
He laughed as bridges turned to ash, as mercy turned to cold
But now he stands before the blade, a scapegoat dressed in tech
For daring just to call a lie the name it hides beneath its neck 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s no law in twisted kingdoms
Only vengeance in disguise
Strip the papers, burn the records
But truth still never dies

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Flash of steel beneath the torch, the courtroom’s blood runs thin
While fascists paint with pride again, and call their purge a win
The cattle class was never safe, but now the kings must kneel
To autocrats who twist the law to match what they feel real 

[Verse 4]
I don't forgive the sins he's sown, or praise the empire's hand
But when he spoke against the throne, I finally saw him stand
Not as a saint or broken lamb, not as a noble knight—
But as a crack within the wall that’s starving out the light 

[Bridge]
Let the skies revoke his passport
Let the fire write the tale
You may banish him from borders
But his voice will never pale
He’s the shadow of your ego
He’s the ghost you cannot cage
And when power turns to poison
Even tyrants taste the rage 

[Chorus]

[Final Chorus]
Strike down the flawed to feel control
But you can't silence fractured soul
You built this myth, now burn it down
His voice still echoes underground
He’s no hero—but he’s awake
And he will haunt what power takes
You crown the night, you dim the sun
But this revolt has just begun 

Deport the future, call it law
Build your temple on the flaw
But every throne begins to rust
When built on lies and broken trust
He’s not my cause, not my crusade
But I’ll stand here unafraid
To see your empire twist and fall
You never ruled us all

[Outro]
So go ahead…
Deport your monster, stage the show
But you forget—he helped you grow
Now his fall becomes your mirror
And in the smoke, the world sees clearer
You gave him wings to feed your pride…
Now pray he doesn't turn the tide.
