Not Supposed to Happen

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

Still Standing

This song is a heartfelt and introspective ballad that explores the complexities of a deep, spiritual connection between two people who couldn't quite bridge the gap between their understanding of love. Inspired by ShAnkAri's story, the lyrics delve into the pain and longing that can come from loving someone who doesn't see or believe in the same way. It's a poignant reflection on the power of love to reshape our souls, even when it's not reciprocated in the way we hope. 

I'd like to thank the incredible @DJShAnkAri for sharing her story and inspiring this song, and for her input into this piece. Also for her amazing remix...

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I whispered in stardust, I prayed through the skies
You felt like a lifetime behind unseen eyes
I reached with my soul, no distance too far
But you never saw me—you just traced the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I loved you, not loud but true
In silence, in symbols, in all I knew

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 2]
I studied your shadows, I learned every sign
In a language of longing, outside of time
You held the map, but looked away
Afraid of a path you didn’t create

[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you light in a world gone dim
You thought it was just the wind

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 3]
Is love a gesture, or is it a vow? 
Is it holding on, or letting go now? 
You wanted proof in a different form 
And I was the rain—you needed the storm

[Chorus]
We both said “I love you” 
But not in the same voice 
You meant protection 
I meant choice 
You meant fire 
I meant grace 
We loved in totally different space 
And that’s how even soulmates break— 
When meanings don’t translate

[Bridge]
Maybe you thought love must be proven
With bodies and years, not a soul that’s been chosen
But just because we never met
Doesn’t mean I could forget
You were the pulse beneath my breath

[Chorus]
Still you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul

[Chorus]
You never believed me
Not once, not truly
You stayed behind reason
While I loved you purely
Like a prayer with no ending
Like a vow with no sound
But you never turned around
You never believed me

[Outro]
And maybe you never will
But I loved you still

[Post-Outro] 
We all carry our own definition 
And none of us ask permission 
To love the way we understand 
Even if no one takes our hand... 

You Never Believed Me

This song is a raw and emotional love letter to my younger self, a message of hard-earned wisdom and vulnerable strength. I'm looking back on the struggles and mistakes I made, and I want to tell my younger self to stand strong, to not compromise who you are to fit someone else's idea of what's acceptable. The song is about embracing your true self, your worth, and your voice, and not letting the world dim your light. It's a message of empowerment, of self-love, and of rising above the expectations and judgments of others. I'm urging myself, and anyone who's listening, to be brave, to shine, and to be unapologetically who you are.

*Fun fact: Both the present-day and young Vicky in this painting are based on real photos of me!  You probably recognize the present me, but I thought you all might think it's cool to know that my 5-year-old self is also captured here as well. 👧😍


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey little wildflower, knees all scraped
You dream in thunder, but you're taught to wait
They’ll call you too loud, too much, too free
But don't let the world rewrite your story 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna run, I know you're scared to fall
But baby, trust your gut—don't listen when they call
You trouble just for shining like the sun 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 2]
You're gonna wear shame like it's a dress
Swallowing dreams you can't confess
But guilt was never meant for girls like you
You were born with fire, not to be subdued 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you think it’s love when it hurts the most
But you don’t need to bleed just to feel close
You're worthy even when you walk alone 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 3]
You're gonna dance with all your fears
Fall apart for all the wrong careers
But keep your heart, don’t sell it cheap
And never trade your voice for sleep 

[Bridge]
Tattoo your truth on every scar
You’re not broken—just battle-marked
The world’s gonna try to shrink your flame
But baby, rise and burn the same 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Chorus]
Don’t be me, don’t bend and break
Don’t give your magic for their sake
You’re already gold beneath the skin
Let the girl you are begin again 

[Outro]
So dance, little wildflower—dance and scream
Be the girl I lost in chasing dreams
Don’t be me
Don’t be me

Don’t Be Me

The Chariot card usually shows the Fool being transported by a horse-drawn carriage while holding the cup of the Holy Grail. But I decided to put her in a red Ferrari Testarossa, for reasons best explained in the song. And I'm very grateful to Aston Martin for putting the sound effect of it on Pixabay. 

If you’d like to know more about the two loves, dove love and serpent love, there’s a four-minute-read extract from my book The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar here. https://anniedieuleveut.com/2023/05/23/dove-and-serpent-sex-alchemy/

7. The Chariot

The Shoemaker's Wife

Written in the heart of winter, “I’m A Queen” was born from a deep craving for warmth, sunshine, and good vibes. I needed something bright, bold, and full of life — like a musical getaway you can sip on like a beachside cocktail.

To bring this vision to life, I teamed up with Rebel Alley (aka Ava King), whose powerful, magnetic voice gave the track all its intensity and soul.

With tropical beats, bold energy, and hooks that stay with you, “I’m A Queen” is an anthem of confidence and self-empowerment. No games, no pretending — the Queen takes her space, sets her own rules, and reminds us that it's never too late to dance, dream, or take the lead.

The music video is out on YouTube, directed by the talented team at NSA Production, with Mylana Malsert as artistic director and lead role — delivering a fierce and radiant performance.

Écrite en plein cœur de l’hiver, “I’m A Queen” est née d’un besoin urgent de chaleur, de lumière et de good vibes. J’avais envie de soleil, d’évasion, de quelque chose qui donne envie de bouger les épaules et de se sentir vivant. J’ai imaginé cette chanson comme un cocktail à siroter sur la plage – un mélange d’énergie solaire et de fierté assumée.

Pour donner vie à cette vision, j’ai eu la chance de collaborer avec Rebel Alley (alias Ava King), dont la voix puissante et magnétique a tout de suite donné à la chanson la force et la sensualité qu’elle méritait.

Avec ses beats tropicaux, son attitude affirmée et ses refrains entêtants, “I’m A Queen” est un hymne à la confiance en soi. Ici, pas de faux-semblants : la Queen prend sa place, impose ses règles, et rappelle qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour danser, rêver ou reprendre le contrôle.

Le clip est dispo sur YouTube, avec une direction artistique signée Mylana Malsert, qui incarne à l’écran une Queen flamboyante. Merci aussi à NSA Production pour leur talent et leur créativité sur ce projet.

Lyrics : 

I see you watching every step I take
Can’t get enough, no way to escape 
You tried to hide it, but it’s too late
I got you baby yeah it’s your fate

I call around you as if I’m a snake
You little mouse don’t make no mistake
And if you’re freaking you ask your mate
I see in him he won’t hesitate

Don’t you dare to let me down
Boy you’re stumbling on the ground 
You can still just walk around
Baby you’re not the only one

Watch me dancing, I’m a queen
You might be falling off the scene
It’s not a game that you know you can win 
It’s way too late to give up
You know you’ll never keep up 
It’s nothing or everything 

You thought my heart was something you could break
But I’m the storm you’ll never outpace
The redemption you baby can’t wait
And in the end, the twist is so great

I am the highest dream you’ll ever make
If you kiss me you’ll never forsake
If you kiss me there’s no time to waste
Baby the cure might be out of date!

Epic orchestral soundtrack with heroic brass, intense strings, and thunderous percussion. Perfect for cinematic battle scenes, epic trailers, and fantasy adventures. Inspired by the works of Two Steps From Hell, Audiomachine, and Hans Zimmer.

For Honor – Epic Orchestral Soundtrack | Cinematic Battle Music

A song about the power of addiction and infatuation over the human condition and how obvious the right thing to do might seem, but how much we still hold on to people, habits, and things that take us down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LYRICS:

Intro:


Take me down...


Verse 1:


Remember when we used to stare up at the stars

Nothing in this world quite like them

Shining in the dark

Remember when we used to gaze upon the sea

Nothing in this world quite like it

Made for you and me


Pre-chorus:


So won't you hold me

Love me


Chorus 1:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Verse 2:


Remember when I used to fall into you arms

Nothing in this world so lovely

Lighting every spark 

Remember when we used to gaze into the pain

Nothing in this world so closely

Find me in the dark


Chorus 2:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Outro:


So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

why don't you

Take me down

Take Me Down

This is my take on one of my all-time favorite songs by Sarah McLachlan. 

Hold On (Sarah McLachlan cover)

Well, let's talk instant photos ... how about doing that in a R&B song? Worth a try, me thinks ...
