You are here
NO HESITATION LIEDJES
Verse 1:
They always say that blood is, blood is thicker, blood is thicker than water
But my blood runs in my body, blood runs in my body like a river
My blood ain’t thick but thin, a needy river, infuse our blood with love
No words needed, don’t talk, don’t explain, to me this says enough
Chorus:
Brother, sister, you are here, you are near
Close to me wherever you are
Brother, sister, you are here, you are near
You’ve found your chamber in my heart
Verse 2:
It’s hard to realize, to realize, to realize I found you
Just until that time was, time was right, that time was right to meet you
Call it destiny or fate, or you can call it what you like
Coincedences happen, but this is something that sure did change my life
Chorus
Verse 1:
Dear friend
It hurts me bad to tell you
That our love has come to an end
Dear friend
There’s no other way to tell you
I’ve tried my hardest, but I just can’t
So sad to see
That what seemed so solid, so strong
Could still break between you and me
Dear friend
I know our sorrow is this mighty, but
Causing you pain ain’t my intend
Chorus:
I say goodbye, my baby
There’s nothing I can say
I pack my bags, my baby
And I will leave today
Verse 2:
I know
You can’t touch the pain that I feel
But while I write this, my tears start to flow
I know
You’ve trusted me, you’ve guided me
But now I’ve got to move on, on my own
We had a good time
Joy and anger, fun and battles
Love that is so very hard to find
I know
It might seem strange, but believe me when I say
I’m thankful for you letting me grow
Chorus
Bridge:
Your pain is my pain and my pain is yours
How we gone wrong and why we don’t belong
Are questions to the answers I can’t find
I’m helpless, I’m hopeless, I’m scared and I fear
Distress coming over me and it’s so hard to see
Through the tears that leave my eyes
I say goodbye, my baby
There’s nothing I can say
I’ve packed my bags, my baby
And I will leave today
Kaz:
Ooh, You
You’ve been waiting
You’ve been waiting, fighting far too long
Now that time is on your side
And finally luck came your way
You are where you, where you should be
Ooh, You
You’ve been waiting
You’ve been waiting, hiding far too long
Now you’re pieces been picked up
And your luggage’s in your back
You are where you, where you should be
You’ve been down too long
No hesitation
You were moving your way up
And found yourself in life
PennyLeen:
Ooh, I
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting, crying far too long
Kaz:
Now that time is on your side
And finally luck came your way
You are where you, where you should be
PennyLeen:
I’ve been down too long
No hesitation
I’ve been moving my way up
And found myself in life
Kaz:
You’ve been down too long
PennyLeen:
No hesitation
Kaz:
You were moving your way up
And found yourself in life
PennyLeen:
Ooh, I
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting, trying far too long
Now I no longer have to fear
To feel the clouds beneath my feet
Now I’m where I, where I should be
Verse 1:
I don’t have to be scared, I say, but yet, still I am
Don’t have to feel blue, but, my mind won’t deal with red
I don’t have to be sad, no need to cry tears
Don’t have to be angry, I just gotta get out of here
Chorus 1:
I know what’s right and I know what’s wrong
Why is it always october to me
I just have one problem, for you to be solved
Why do I keep on fooling me?
Verse 2:
I don’t have to sob all day, but yet, still I cry
I don’t have to be down, but my tears just won’t dry
I don’t have to drink booz no more, forget all my fears
Don’t have to be angry, I just gotta get out of here
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
These feelings mixed up like a dark stormy sky
Why is it always october to me
Maybe I’m going mad, or maybe I will go insane
Verse 1:
You seem so true, gifted and strong, with a beautiful mind
What is it in you, this beauty inside you can’t seem to find
My expectations vanished, like dust in the air
I just can’t understand, why don’t you seem to care
Why don’t you seem to care?
Chorus:
I’ve lost my hero tonight
You couldn’t care less, you flew your own flight
How sorry I am, how sad you may be
No strength for worries
But looking at you, my feelings inside, I know
I’ve lost my hero tonight
Verse 2:
You don’t care, how lucky you are, to be this accomplished
Do you know where you’ll end up in life, are you already finished?
I should’ve known, you can’t quit your wild romances
I just won’t understand, why won’t you take the chance
Chorus
Bridge:
I’m angry, I’m worried, my mind full of fear
I just want to know, where do you go from here?
Afraid I might lose you, scared to say goodbye
But I already did, ‘cause I lost my hero tonight
Verse 1:
Her life passes by, so quickly, so fast
She’s got no control, even how hard she tries
She wants to do things, all at the same time
She’s checking her mails, while her telephone rings
Chorus:
Oh.. Please, give this girl some rest
Some air to breathe, some room to live
And clean up the mess in her head
Verse 2:
Her life passes by, she’s waiting for a sign
To end up this waste, and get back her life
Girl, know that just wait and see what will happen
Is not life’s intend, just try to keep things straight
Chorus
Bridge:
How she wishes to clean up her mind
And throw away thoughts, so far she can’t find them
How she longs to have peace of mind
No worries, and no fears, just leave them behind
Verse 1:
I can’t hear your eyes, and I can’t read your mind
I can’t translate all the signs transmitting
I can’t hear your eyes
What happens in your head, are words so hard to get?
It’s hard to decode the message you’re sending
What happens in your head?
Chorus:
I don’t want to fight against your thoughts
I don’t ever want to guess no more
I don’t even want to take the time
Talk to me, talk to me
Verse 2:
What’s buzzin’ in your brain, won’t you try now to explain?
Are you happy with the life you’re leading?
What’s buzzin’ in your brain?
I can’t hear your heart, and you won’t share your part
Are desillusions your daily feelings?
I can’t hear your heart
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
You might think that it’s just all okay
You might think that it’s not worth to say
If you don’t want me to leave you now
Talk to me, talk to me
Verse 1:
Here I am, walking down, by the riverside
Memories, slowly pass, passing by, I’m
Looking for, my old life, something to recall
Nothing’s changed, yet too much, in my life
Chorus:
How sweet it is, how warm it is
To be back where I’m coming from
Looks like now life didn’t change
This is the place where I belong
Spending time in memory
Away too far too long
Verse 2:
Here I am, lost in thoughts, something to recall
Thinking while, water purls, to me gently
Chorus
THE STORY BEHIND THE LYRICS
Ik kan niet anders dan persoonlijke songteksten schrijven. Het ontbreekt me heus niet aan fantasie, maar uiteindelijk komt het er altijd op neer dat ik alleen maar songteksten schrijf over mijn eigen gevoelens of gebeurtenissen die in mijn leven hebben plaatsgevonden.
Zo gaat Brother Sister over mijn broer en zus. Beiden zijn geen bloedverwanten, maar staan zij zo dicht bij me dat het woord 'vriend' een understatement zou zijn. Voor mij voelen zij als broer en zus en ik koester deze liefde ten zeerste.
I say goodbye heb ik geschreven naar aanleiding van mijn relatiebreuk. Wanneer je besluit om, na bijna tien jaar, je relatie te verbreken heeft dat grote impact. Ik vermoed dat iedereen die ooit zoiets heeft meegemaakt zich (ten dele) wel in deze tekst kan vinden.
Queen in my castle gaat over de periode daarna; de kans om weer helemaal opnieuw te beginnen! Een nieuw huis, een nieuw leven. Welcome to the rest of my life!
Lost my hero schreef ik de dag nadat ik een oude kennis terugzag met wie ik in het verleden heel veel speelde. Een geweldig muzikant en een geweldig mens. Helaas hield hij (destijds) meer van de drugs dan van zichzelf en zijn talenten. Het was vreselijk om te zien dat een ongelooflijk getalenteerde muzikant zijn leven zo vergooide. Het raakte me zo, dat de tekst binnen een uur op papier stond. Ik heb overigens vernomen dat het nu weer heel goed met hem gaat, en daar ben ik heel blij om...
Something to recall gaat over Deventer, waar ik ben opgegroeid. Ik heb er lange tijd gewoond, was even weg, en kwam toen weer terug. Dat gevoel van thuiskomen, daar gaat de tekst over.
Ik hoop dat, ondanks dat het mijn teksten zijn over mijn ervaringen, herinneringen en gevoelens, een ieder toch wat herkent en er met plezier naar luistert.
Verse 1:
I told you ”Stay out of my life
Leave me alone with all my memories”
Gave you time to get me out of your mind
You had your chance to belong
But you messed up our time and took me for granted
Said goodbye but your longing was too strong
Wash your brain, and let the memories, drown in the dirty water
Flush away, no opportunities, now to let them bother
Chorus:
No! I won’t give you my lovin’
No! I won’t give it away
Oh, please stop all this cravin’
Oh! that’s all I gotta say, gotta say
My territory is mine
Verse 2:
Now listen to me when I say
Me loving you was just a big mistake
I want to get rid of the thoughts and blow them away (in the open air)
To me you are history
Get the message in your head and
Live your own life and let me be just me
Wash your brain, and let the memories, drown in the dirty water
Flush away, no opportunities, now to let them bother
Chorus
Verse 1:
I’m picking up the pieces, to start a new life
Leave my past far behind
Don’t know where I’m going, can’t tell what’s right
Hope life’s gonna treat me kind
It’s scary but tempting, to face this new world
Can’t wait to start all over again
This is my new beginning, a chance with opportunities
Goodbye to my life-back-then
Lived my life as a princess, but now I’m a Queen
This fortunate and overjoyed I just have never been
And when I opened the door, of this beautiful mantle
I entered my sweet little royal adventure
Chorus:
I’m a Queen, Queen in my castle
All belongs to me, all that I can see
Queen, Queen in my castle
I’m gonna rule my world, from now on
I’ll be the Queen in my castle
Queen in my castle
Verse 2:
I opened the curtains, and gazed over fields
Saw the signs along the way
I kindled my candles, my room filled with light
A perfect end of my day
I’m drowsy and I’m tired, I’m gettin’ ready for my journey
Dreamland, here I come
And when I get up tomorrow, my dreams will be real
And I’ll be found sitting here on my throne
Chorus
Bridge:
This fantastic kingdom
Flowerpainted walls, ornamented halls
Is my fantastic kingdom
Can’t wait for the day, to live as a queen, as a queen
Chorus
Verse 1:
You climbed up the stairs, to find me right there
Waiting for you love, and longing to care
You looked at me, and gave me a ’Hey’
Your eyes even sparkled, while I touched your hand
Welcome to my world, I said, welcome in my life
There’s no turning back, I said, welcome in my life
Chorus:
Stay, stay with me today, don’t leave me
Won’t you stay, hey
Stay, stay, stay everyday
Don’t leave me alone, ‘till my wedding day
Verse 2:
Right after our kiss, we just said hello
We started a life, that we couldn’t miss
Life has changed since we met, we knew from the start
It was the best thing I remembered, that we’d ever had
Welcome to my world, I said, welcome in my life
There’s no turning back, I said, welcome in my life
Chorus
