We came here to Love.
We came here to learn what great Love really is.
We came here to learn about a Love so great that, just out of joy, it builds a whole multiverse.

We came here to Dance
We came here to learn what great Dance really is.
We came here to learn about the joy of the great weaving, spiralling dance of the web that give form to this multiverse.

But not all are here to Love and Dance,
And those who came before us, aeons ago,
Knew the trials we’d have to face, and pass
So they left us guidance in letters from home.
They drew them as stories in the night skies
On silver starships that stay true to their course,
Like messages in bottles across the sands of time,
We rely on these myths to guide us along.

We came here to make Art,
We came here to understand what great Art really is, to know the Artist who paints a glorious sunset across the sky in indescribable hues, purely out of Joy.

We came here to make Music
We came here to understand what great Music really is,
The song that the universe is built upon, the Word of God, Om, that births frequencies to create both Sorrow and Joy.

So we always look forward to those letters from home
Drawn in the stellar guides that are ever true
Like messages in bottles across the sands of time,
We rely on the wisdom of ages to guide us through.

Letters from Home - Annie Dieu-Le-Veut

Accept Me As I Am

She steals your words, she drinks them slow,
Takes what she needs, but lets you go.
Reads you like a holy book,
Then leaves you lost inside the smoke.

She loves it all… but not you.
Loves the moon… but not its hue.
Loves the song… but not the tune.
She loves it all… but never you.

I asked my brother, "What should I do?"
She haunts my mind, she clouds my view.
He only laughed, a knowing sigh,
"Oh brother… some love is just a lie."

She loves it all… but not you.
Loves the night… but not its gloom.
Loves the fire… but not the burn.
She loves it all… but never you.

The river knew, the wind had guessed,
She never walked this road for me.
She danced between the autumn leaves,
Then vanished like a melody.

She loves it all… but not you.
Loves the dark… but not the blue.
Loves the words… but not their truth.
She loves it all… but never you.

She loves it all…
But never you.

She Loves It All, But Not You

"They want you silent, they want you cold!"

A foreign city, once my own,
Now colder than its walls of stone.
The linden trees still mark my stride...
But their shade don’t feel like mine.

Hasty shadows pass me by,
Ghosts that never meet my eye.
I once walked among them, hand in hand...
Now I’m a scar they won’t withstand.

And in my ears, a voice remains,
Echoes whisper, calling names.
Gaza burns behind my eyes...
But here, the world wears thin disguise.

Cold morning cities think they know,
The past they preach is just for show.
They twist its shape, they steal its voice...
Then wear it like a hollow choice.

Cold morning cities hate to wait...
They don’t endure what shifts or sways.
No patience for the fractured soul...
They want you silent, they want you cold.

In cold morning city, the air is thin with doubt,
Voices fade, they die, before they shout.
Not like the towns where the sea holds tight,
Where walls lean close, where dusk feels right.

And in my ears, a voice remains,
Echoes whisper, calling names.
Gaza burns behind my eyes...
But here, the city trades truth for lies.

Cold morning cities think they know,
The past they preach is just for show.
They twist its shape, they steal its voice...
Then wear it like a hollow choice.

"They want you silent... they want you cold."
"They want you silent... they want you cold."

Tomorrow's Sun

Fast

Velvet Ghost is a darkwave slow-burn — caught between obsession and memory. float through analog synths, trap-tinged drums, and neon shadows.

For lovers who never really left.
For late-night loopers.
For the ghosts in your mirror.

Velvet Ghost

[Verse]
I just wanna say a few words to you
I just wanna know what I can do
Oh I hope you feel it too
And if you don't
I hope you do

[Verse]
Oh
I want to see you again
And maybe we'll become friends
I don't wanna sound crazy
But this is what you're doing to me

[Chorus]
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá

[Verse]
Every time I hear your voice
I feel like I'm gonna lose control
And if you're feeling the same way
I know it's not my fault

[Verse]
I don't want to see you again
And maybe we'll just be friends
I don't wanna sound crazy
But this is what you're doing to me

[Chorus]
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá
Ojalá

Nomad lyricist and techologist. Very obsessed with reviving classic poetry and using music as a time machine where distant epochs intertwine.
