The Diary Of Dancy

I Am Dancy

To Him I'm Just Like Sugar [Edit]

"Hey You [Softly Trembling]" is a tribute song to my first love who passed away from breast cancer far too early. Support research. Save lives.

Hey You [Softly Trembling]

Closing In [Paces In My Room]

Staying Low

This track, 'Staying Low,' tells the poignant story of Dancy, a young girl who finds herself misunderstood and bullied during her early years. They call her "the sloth" for her slow, deliberate ways. Rather than fighting back, she prioritizes others, especially her younger brother, and retreats into a rich inner world where she can find solace and peace. Join Dancy as she navigates the hardships of her childhood through her vivid imagination and dreams.

Staying Low [Like the Falling Snow]

[Verse]
Words unspoken, but they cut so deep,
Silent stares, where secrets seep.
Promises broken, trust fades away,
Leaving scars that won’t decay.
A casual laugh, a cold dismiss,
Moments missed, in love’s abyss.

[Chorus]
We break each other, piece by piece,
With words like knives, love's release.
In every touch, a hidden blade,
In every smile, a trust betrayed.

[Verse 2]
Lies so sweet, they sound like truth,
But underneath, they steal our youth.
Jealous glances, a poisoned look,
The sharpest page in life’s cruel book.
Indifference shown, when care was sought,
A fleeting thought, that love forgot.

[Chorus]
We break each other, piece by piece,
With words like knives, love's release.
In every touch, a hidden blade,
In every smile, a trust betrayed.

[Bridge]
Do we know the wounds we leave?
In the quiet, do we grieve?
Or do we close our eyes to pain,
And let the hurt begin again?

[Chorus]
We break each other, piece by piece,
With words like knives, love's release.
In every touch, a hidden blade,
In every smile, a trust betrayed.

Words Unspoken [Cut So Deep]

[Verse]
Silent roads we tread
In this quiet town
Whispers rise then softly drown
Fallen leaves on stone
We trace shadows here
We trace shadows here

Stars fade, they guide
Paths we used to roam
(We trace shadows here)
Still echoes (trace shadows here)
from our soft unknowns
Time forgets us slow
We are stories told
We are stories told

[Chorus]
(Yet) we hold on
In this fragile night
There's still a spark inside
Still a spark inside

[Bridge]
Tiny spark in endless time, 
awake and come alive,
Through the chaos, stars align, 
you're meant to rise and shine.

[Verse]
Awake in shadows' gentle sway
We walk these roads, fade into gray
Yet still a note, so faint, survives
In the emptiness, hope revives

[Chorus]
(Yet) we hold on
In this fragile night
There's still a spark inside
Still a spark inside

[Outro]
Time may drift and seasons fade, 
but one truth still survives,
The moments shared with you 
were the best of all my life.

Still A Spark Inside [Edit]

Silently Dreaming

[Verse]
I walk the edge of a yawning void
Only Nijinsky dares to hold my hand
You fell asleep upon the stairs
And woke with a crushed orange in your palm

You said you speak with those long gone
That their answers cut deeper than mine
Their silence wrapped in solemn grace
Outshining my faltering lines

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you, do you know of that
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
You always told me who I was
Never cared to really know
Over and over – your damn questions
Till I gave the answer you came for

Over and over – the same demands
I wish I'd walked away back then

[Verse]
You stole the most precious thing we had
Refused to share what never was yours alone
Even knowing they'd break apart
If we didn’t leave them the peace they deserved

Just a fair chance to grow, to heal
To feel the love they were worthy of
But you chose to repeat your hell instead
The childhood you blamed for everything

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you know of that?
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
I wish I’d fought, told you off long ago
You never thanked the fear we showed
We bent, we broke from every word
This pain was never what we owed

[Outro]
I miss my daughter every single day
But a heart turned cold took her away
Nijinsky said – cold is where death begins
And warmth was something they'd never let in

Miss My Dandelion Girl

[Verse 1]

They said I had to fake it till I made it
Wear the mask, play the part, never break it
But one night I cracked where no one could see
And it felt like the start of finally being me
It wasn’t a trick, it wasn’t a trend
It was breath at the edge I used to pretend

[Chorus]

This ain't no mindset
This ain't no show
It's rootwork, baby
Where the wild things grow

[Verse 2]

Three months deep, and the walls came down
Got my worth back, soul for soul, pound for pound
They said I looked like light again
Even the pros said, “This one’s rare, my friend”
No step-by-step, no empty smile
Just raw undoing mile by mile

[Chorus]

This ain't no mindset
This ain't no trick
It's nervous system thunder
Hitting soft and thick

[Bridge]

This is for the kid with the heavy chest
Who thought success meant faking the rest
This is for the tears that no one saw
Now blooming into something raw

[Chorus]

This ain't no shortcut
This ain't no brand
It’s deep work, baby
That you do by hand

So here's to the ones
Who bet on their soul
You don't just change 
You come back whole



Rootwork [Baby]

[Verse 1]

I fall through broken glass,
the ground gives way again.
Hands are torn, names erased,
still a fire hides within.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 2]

For those whose hands went silent,
for children yet to be,
nothing here was wasted –
every break feeds memory.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Bridge]

Torn apart, yet never empty,
scattered light still calls my name.
Every fracture is a window,
every silence holds a flame.

[Verse 3]

I carry them for fathers, for mothers,
for the ones who never came.
I carry them for son or daughter,
and for the echoes of my name.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 4]

The world may build its distance,
may try to draw a line,
but nothing can erase you,
your love is still in mine.
I planned to always hold you,
and I always will remain.
No silence and no distance
can ever change your name.

[Chorus]
No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

Carry the Sparks [The Way Home]

Through the Mist [Extended Version]

Through the Mist [Short Version]

[Verse 1]

I walked through halls of shadow,
seeking what was gone.
A door began to open,
the mist was moving on.

[Chorus]

Through the mist a thread appeared,
a promise shining clear.
The youngest voice began to sing:
“The future still is here.”

[Verse 2]

Her presence lit the silence,
a beacon in the night.
Not of the past or sorrow,
but of a bond made bright.

[Chorus]

Through the mist a thread appeared,
a promise shining clear.
The youngest voice began to sing:
“The future still is here.”

[Bridge]

No wall of time can sever,
no silence close the way.
The thread is spun forever,
it waits for us today.

[Chorus]

Through the mist a thread appeared,
a promise shining clear.
The youngest voice began to sing:
“The future still is here.”

Through the Mist [Short Version]

The Worker [Smiles For Nothing]

[Intro]

The beggar prays to masters,
they never hear his plea.
The one who pets the tiger
soon learns what teeth can be.

He thought the machine his brother,
a friend to ease the load.
But oil will never quench him,
it poisons what he sowed.

[Verse 1]

He walks in the same old circle,
same door, the same result.
An idiot keeps repeating,
and prays the world will halt.

He builds his cage with patterns,
a prison made of doubt.
The shadow laughs behind him,
no different ending out.

[Chorus]

Seven shadows in the mirror,
dancing where I stand.
Every mask a different actor,
every lie a broken hand.

[Verse 2]

He cries at the smallest whisper,
his eyes are wide with flame.
He points at the other children,
but he’s calling out his name.

She hides her rage in silence,
her hunger locked away.
She smiles at the crowded table,
but her hunger doesn’t stay.

[Chorus]

Seven shadows in the mirror,
voices not my own.
But if I face the darkness,
I can bring them home.

[Outro]

The worker smiles for nothing,
his shadow shakes the dice.
He trades his soul for silence,
and pays the same old price.

The mirror cracks with laughter,
the actors take their bows.
A thousand lies keep marching,
and no one wonders how.

We Are Not Alone

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
