// LYRICS //

The choice is made
Give it all to live in give and take
Bound to be a mess
I’m fairly certain
But are you ever lost
if you follow your heart
You say
Called away
Find the best in every
Move we make
Bound to be a mess
I’m really certain
But you will never know
Until you follow your heart
You say

For the first time
From the bird’s eye
Coming into view
It changes everything
From the coastline
With a sure sign
Caution to the wind
You hear in front of me loudly
Ooh
I’ve never wanted anything more
Ooh
Cause for the first time
I found something that will last

But if lines fade
Staring down the face of give and take
Bound to leave a mess
I’m fairly certain
You never really know
Until its falling apart
They say
Miles away
Made the best of every
Move we’ve made
Bound to see the rest foolishly certain
And we’ll always know when we are following heart
We’ll say

For the first time
From the bird’s eye
Coming into view
It changes everything
From the coastline
With a sure sign
Caution to the wind
You hear in front of me loudly
Ooh
I’ve never wanted anything more
Ooh
Cause for the first time
I found something that will last
Ooh
I’ve never wanted anything more
Ooh
Cause for the first time
I found something that will last
I found something that will last
I found something

One day
And one step further
One day
And one step further
One day at a time
You’ll see one day
(and one step further)
We’ll know one day
(and one step further)
One day
(and one step further)

For the first time
From the bird’s eye
Coming into view
It changes everything
From the coastline
With a sure sign
Caution to the wind
You hear in front of me loudly
Ooh
I’ve never wanted anything more
Ooh
Cause for the first time
I found something that will last
Ooh
I’ve never wanted anything more
Ooh
Cause for the first time
I found something that will last

Songs From The Woods

Meet Me In The Forest

Pretend

🎵 واحة السراب (Wāḥat al-Sarāb) – Oasis of Mirage

[Intro – 0:00–0:50]
[soft desert wind, distant drops of water, shimmering synth pad fading in]  
[single ney note repeats like a breath – tranquil, echoing]  

[Verse 1 – Arabic, female vocal – calm and soft]
في قلبِ الرِّمالِ، حَلمٌ من ماء،  
تغفو النَّخيلُ على كتفِ الظِّلال،  
وفي البُعدِ، يبتسمُ السرابُ،  
كأنَّهُ وعدُ السَّماءِ للأرض.  

[Instrumental – 0:50–1:20]
[qanun arpeggios flow like rippling water; low warm bass enters slowly]

[Verse 2 – Arabic, duet – female and male voices]
يا واحةَ النُّورِ، يا نَفَسَ الحياة،  
فيكِ يَنسى العطشُ اسمه،  
ويُصلّي القلبُ في ظلالِكِ،  
كأنَّ الماءَ طهارةُ الرُّوح.  

[Main Groove – 1:25–2:40]
[Deep ambient house rhythm begins — soft kick, sand-brush percussion, airy bass pulses,  
qanun and oud weaving through stereo field]  

[Bridge – 2:45–3:15]
[whispered female mantra repeats:]  
"سرابٌ... ماءٌ... نورٌ..."  
("Mirage... water... light...")  
[reverb echoes create illusion of space — sound of dripping echo blends into rhythm]  

[Verse 3 – Arabic, male voice, intimate tone]
في صمتِكِ يذوبُ الوقت،  
وفي عُيونِكِ يَسكنُ الأبد،  
يا واحةَ السرابِ،  
يا أغنيةَ الرِّيحِ والضّوء.  

[Final Chorus / Chant – 3:20–4:40]
[grouped soft chanting, female lead with airy harmony repeating:]  
"يا واحةَ الحُلمِ... يا نَفَسَ السَّماء..."  
("O oasis of dream… O breath of the sky…")  
[water FX, delicate bells, bass melts into ambient fade]

Cigarette

Deep down
Underground
Earth, stone, shadows
They think we're glooming

I put on my skin and I dance
I put on my clothes and I dance
Here in my bones I can dance
Just like I did before

Deep down, real down
Earth, night, shadows
Souls are moving

I put on my skin and I dance
I put on these clothes and I dance
Here in my bones i can dance
Just like I did before
Here in my skin I can dance
