Antidote (2018)
Yaima’s third album “Antidote” (2018) was carefully crafted as a journey, a pulsing and fluctuating expanse of soundscapes entwined through the delicacies of human emotion. From start to finish this album is a portrayal of the element of fire, the dance of passion and renewal, the deep inner work of intention and the cultivated patience of devotion. Born of an ancient tune, layered in time - “Antidote” was written as a way to rekindle the spark of inspiration and new growth, the idea of transmutation and the power of transformation. These stories have come to life through the lessons and reflections written in the turning flames, wildfires, volcanic activity, the rising smoke, and by the warmth of the Earth's Heart. The Dragonfly is generally associated with Transformation, Change and Adaptability, Joy, and Lightness of Being. It is a powerful symbol of the realm of emotions, an invitation to dive deeper into what is felt, and a reminder to reconnect with Nature...

Antidote

Iskra

Allow all your Worries, 
To Dissipate, 
The sun and its light 
Are one in the Same, 
Our Questions 
Are Answers 
Disguised in clever Themes, 
No Thought comes from Nothing 
We Dream the same Dream.

This song was written for the Total Eclipse of 2017

lyrics
Could it be there comes a new reign? 
Introduced a Sovereign Siren, 
Waiting for the culmination, 
To reveal all the illusion. 

Moonshadow 

Momentary Pause of Starlight, 
Shapes a new frame for the mind’s eye, 
In the context of division, 
Deeper yet- reticulation 

Moonshadow 

Captivated by the Cheshire 
Grinning wildiy from behind her, 
Filigree of light will dance out, 
Now the crown shines all around - 
The Queen.

To guide it, 
the sage says, 
unburden the witness, 
learn in the moment, 
beginning the process, 
and through it arises, 
polished and wisend, 
burns in the essence, 
finally awaken. 

Water is falling 
fire is rising 
signal from earth 
activate the uprising, 
addressing the tension, 
forces of nature, 
direct the light 
focus the aperture 
given the grace 
to develop awareness 
feeding the fire 
revoking the carelessness 
not in an instant 
commit to refinement 
adjusting the model 
to be more resilient. 

All of these dreams 
that have come through our home 
will be made out of bone 
will be etched in the stone 

And all of the tales 
that have come through our mind 
will be faded in time 
will yours now to find

Miryo

Ensenyame, 
Encenderme, 
Ya empezo 
Ya desperto 
Ya regreso 
La voz de la tierra grito 

Abrazame, 
Ayudame, 
A dar la luz, 
A ver el mar, 
A concentrar, 
El ritmo, la respiración 

Out was taking all these tears, 
Back through the forest and through all the years, 
Taking away the cold from my bones 
Leading on back to the one I love. 

Unwinding a yielding heart opens a door 
Do you remember what we’ve been sent for? 
By morning the rain wash away the sunrise 
Wondering where we been lost for a while.

lyrics

One final word 
lasted a thousand years 
born of the raging sea the land, 
one truth be told 
an echo always ringing 
disrupted silence 
of the night. 

Ka ula o 
Ka ula o ke ahi 
Ka ula o ke ahi o 

Fathered by light, 
mothered in womb of darkness, 
born of the opposites a dance, 
a kindred heart, 
glowing below the surface, 
grandmother offering of life. 

Ka ula o 
Ka ula o ke ahi 
Ka ula o ke ahi o 

If nothing lasts, 
is taken back, 
release attachment to the plan, 
what once was fixed, 
evaporates around her, 
the wild earth unclaimed by man. 

Ka ula o 
Ka ula o ke ahi 
Ka ula o ke ahi o

Ke Ahi

Featuring: Youssoupha Sidibe 

Existence is Ceaseless, 
Foundation of Earth, 
Catches the Water 
Feeds us from Birth 
Constant Revival 
Ancient the Medicine 
Born in the Moment 
Familiar Genesis 
Brought to the End, 
Thread was Unstrung 
One step at a Time 
Center the Foothold 
Decided the Course 
By whats left Behind 
The journey Begins 
From what is Inside. 

Willing a Moment, 
To Pause and Observe here , 
Engaging with Life, 
Growing around Us, 
Fuel for the Passion, 
Abundant, Generous, 
Yielding a Harvest, 
Fine tuning the System, 
Realizing the Offering, 
Nothing is Wasted, 
Balanced Perspective, 
Till each heart is Honored, 
Continue with Patience, 
Increasing the Spectrum, 
Challenge the Borders, 
Expanding Collective. 

Trusting, Patience, Devotion

A Potent Wave, 
Begins to Conspire, 
Secured by the Source, 
Inner Fire. 
Turn to the Ones, 
Who Light and Inspire, 
Continue Transmuting, 
Emit and Admire. 

One Star Away, Will Radiate 
One Star Away, Will Radiate 

Go in Alignment, 
Each Cycle Will Decide, 
Amending an Old Code, 
Diversify the Guide. 
Finding an Answer, 
Following the Tide, 
Aligning the Circuit, 
Bridging the Divide. 

One Star Away, Will Radiate 
One Star Away, Will Radiate 

The Smallest Taste of Poison 
Makes the Antidote 

One Star Away, Will Radiate 
One Star Away, Will Radiate

If you're searching 
for the answer 
to the riddle 
here on Earth, 

The Riddle’s 
gone unanswered 
from the moment 
of it’s birth. 

Searching 
for the answer 
so many 
would pursue, 
in favor 
of their honor 
she provided 
just one clue. 

Rise up 
from the ashes 
you decide 
which way to go, 
either up, 
down, 
or side ways, 
then you’ll need 
to know. 

You will Rise, 
like a flame, 
Rise live again, 
you will rise 
like a flame 
rise live again.

Rise
