The world is a book, every page a new flame  
Stay in one place, and it’s never the same  
Christmas lights on Fifth Avenue  
Snowflakes fall where dreams come true  

Cherry blossoms bloom in Kyoto’s light  
Summer glows on the Riviera night  

Don’t read just one page, let your soul roam free
Every place on this earth holds a piece of me 
From deserts and oceans to fire in the sky 
Let your heart be the
compass, go live, not just try  

In Edinburgh’s fall, the colors turn bold  
While Bali sunsets drip red and gold  
The tulips bloom in the
Netherlands breeze  
And the Great Wall runs 
like a stone spine of peace  

Don’t read just one page, let your soul roam free 
Every place on this earth holds a piece of me  
From deserts and oceans to fire in the sky 
Let your heart be the compass, go live, not just try

"Shadows on my Soul" is a deeply emotional song about the lasting effects of past wounds. The narrator describes a life shaped by fear, loneliness, and the inability to connect with others. Haunted by inner shadows, they struggle between the wish for freedom and the fear of being hurt again. Despite moments of hope, isolation remains their chosen refuge. The lyrics, simple and honest, create a haunting image of silent suffering and a soul longing for peace.

"Shadows on my Soul" ist ein zutiefst emotionales Lied über die bleibenden Narben vergangener Wunden. Der Erzähler beschreibt ein Leben, das von Angst, Einsamkeit und der Unfähigkeit geprägt ist, sich anderen zu öffnen. Gequält von inneren Schatten schwankt er zwischen dem Wunsch nach Freiheit und der Angst, erneut verletzt zu werden. Trotz gelegentlicher Hoffnung bleibt die Einsamkeit seine gewählte Zuflucht. Die einfachen und ehrlichen Texte zeichnen ein eindringliches Bild von stillem Leiden und einer Seele, die sich nach Frieden sehnt.

Wronged

Written in honor of my twin sister's massive heart. 

Lyrics: 

[Intro]
I’ve been spinning on this circle…chasing hearts that couldn’t stay.
Giving love like it was oxygen…just to watch it float away.
But I’m not the same woman—who thought pain was the proof.
There’s a fire deep inside me now. And it’s lighting up the truth.

[Verse]
Another year. Another heartbreak. Same old tears upon my face.
Thought love would be my rescue…but it left without a trace.
I gave 'til I was empty. Lifted men up just to fall.
Tried to be their northern star—
but no one risin’ to the call.

[Chorus]
I was turning on a wheel…spinning ‘round the same sun.
Giving all I had to give…but never being the one.
Still, I didn’t hold back love. Didn’t close the fading gate.
Even pain became a prayer…
and I still chose to radiate.

[Verse]
They say the world keeps turning…but I feel it in my bones.
Each goodbye was a teacher. Each silence carved in stone.
But I never let the hurting…be a reason not to feel.
Love still flowed right through me—
even when it wouldn’t heal.

[Chorus]
I was turning on a wheel…‘round a sun I didn’t know.
Now I see—it was my own fire…keeping me aglow.
What I gave was not a weakness. Just strength misunderstood.
And I’d do it all again…
just to transform what I could.

[Bridge]
This last one was different. I came out brand new.
Heard the voice of God in the wind…and morning dew.
Life began to whisper. And I finally heard the call.
That I was not made to chase—
I was born to stand tall.

I’ve got my own sun rising…at the center of my chest.
Burned away the fear—
what I deserve has come to rest.
I’m guided now by ancestors. And I’ve never felt so clear.
I’ve never felt so clear…
My soul’s already moving…
and the one I seek is near.

[Verse]
They were mirrors—every one of them…reflecting back myself.
Now the universe is my mirror.
There’s no end to my wealth.  
I don’t need a love that’s lesser. I don’t ache to be enough.
I want love that knows my thunder…
and can meet me in the rough.

[Chorus]
I’m no longer on that wheel. I’ve stepped off into the light.
Built a fire from my heartbreak…now it’s burning warm and bright.
So I’ll sit here on this mountaintop…and watch the valley bloom.
I see another peak ahead—
but there’s no more need to zoom. 

[Outro]
My pain had a purpose. And now I see…
The suffering didn’t break me. It came to set me free.
Yeah, no suffering can break me…
this soul of mine is free.

Beautiful Stranger

NEVER KNEW

When I’m alone I worry every day
Cause there’s a verse that scares me when I pray

I wish I knew what it meant
Cause I believe it’s heaven sent

So on that day when I ask you if you know
I hope you see that I’ve listened as I go

I’ve tried to hear you when you tell me what to do
I hope you say you always knew me as I grew

It’s easy to say, look what I’ve done
All in your name, all for your son
But on that day, we’ll know it’s true
Our lives are more than what we do

There is a day we’ll answer to our Lord
When we ask him to let us through the door 

And some will say it’s what we do
That’s when they’ll learn they never knew

So on that day when I ask you if you know
I hope you see that I’ve listened as I go

I’ve tried to hear you when you tell me what to do
I hope you say you always knew me as I grew

NEVER KNEW

Everything Is Hollow

You are mostly the same as you were at the age of 10. Meeting people from your childhood can remind you, who you truly are or wanted to be.
Lyrics, melody and performing: Aili Avi (10.08.2025)

Meieilm/Our world

Mon village, mon doux foyer,
Sous les étoiles, ton charme inégalé.
Dans tes bras, je trouve la paix,
Trésor que nul ne peut oublier.
