lyrics

You lifted me up
praising me, applauding me
I felt so loved, you fed my soul

You pushed me in thorny bushes
made me apologise, a thousand times
you make me invisible

I lose my ground,
Just a tiny breeze blows me away
Why is there no soft line.
in the way you draw me?

The fault was not mine,
They were your scars
that were hurting me

Darkness won’t rule
Your web no longer holds me

mood swings,
dark and sudden
took me by surprise,
I had no defense and fell
Once more you lifted me up,
aaaand you crowned me as your queen
while sealing my lips

I lose my ground,
Just a tiny breeze blows me away
Why is there no soft line in the way you draw me?

One by one, you throw your arrows at me
I hurt , and try to stand up

Darkness won’t rule
Your web no longer holds me

Dark curtains slowly glide apart
And under my feet,
I feel the new grass growing
I find my ground ,
slowly, away from the abyss

The seeds your words planted in me
slowly washed away
I drowned them in my tears.

about

Kuusi Ghent, Belgium

Kuusi, the solo project of Fien Druyts, loves following the desolate, misty and thin paths. Inspired by neoclassical and indie-folk artists such as Agnes Obel, Olafur Arnalds, Ane Brun,...., Kuusi's songs create a warm musical blanket that you can curl up under, softly dozing off to her soothing vocals and lullaby melodies. ... more
