back and forth

Back and forth
Head lifted up
Feels like I’m flying
No sadness allowed
Love/laugh like a child
And you’re qualified
[hmmmm]
Hold on tight
Hum a little tune
Let the wind bite, it just feels warm
Keep your legs moving
Don’t stop
Oh but it’s time
[hmmmm]
Back and forth
Head lifted up
Feels like I’m flying
(repeat)
[hmmmm]
Breathe in the freedom
Hold it in
Go back

push myself down
04:12
|
|||
Feel like I’m suffocating
Choking on my own thoughts
Keep talking myself into positions like this
My mind keeps on going in circles
I always assume things, and I’m hardly ever mild
I pity myself, I hate myself
I climb back up, then think of something small and fall back in
It’s like I’m desperately looking for a hole to lie down in
While digging into it even deeper
Finding every single reason to push myself down
And I hit the floor again
I pity myself, I hate myself
I climb back up, then think of something small and fall back in
Why does this keep on happening, why do I do this?
Why does this keep on happening, why do I do this?
Why does this keep on happening, why do I do this?
Why does this keep on happening, why do I do this?
I know I have a thing for crying
And I sometimes like feeling sad
But this goes way past and I feel
Like I’m going wild
I pity myself, I hate myself
I climb back up, then think of something small and fall back in

this is me

This is me
I eat enough
I am healthy
But I mostly see the same numbers on my scales
I am not fragile
I’ve never broken a thing
It’s like my body got stuck in the past
I have the hands and feet of a child
And when you touch me it’s mostly bone
But I’ll carry my body with pride
I’m small
I am skinny
But this is me
And this is me
This is me

not rooting for us
03:24
|
|||
I don’t know why I ever picked you, I guess I must’ve been blind
Something must’ve been wrong, I guess I lost my vision
Whatever spark I ever felt for you, I know I lost it
The thought of you was surely better than the real thing
Do I solely feel desire of could this turn into love?
You can get your hopes up but I doubt it
I’m not rooting for us
[hmmm]
At first you seemed almost perfect but I started seeing through you
There’s nothing inside, so literally right through
You’ll get over it, just smoke some and pop a pill
Clearly that’s what you live for and I can’t reside in that picture
Do I solely feel desire of could this turn into love?
You can get your hopes up but I doubt it
I’m not rooting for us
[hmmm]
So give it up, I already did, this will never be
Never us, just a you and a me
Do I solely feel desire of could this turn into love?
You can get your hopes up but I doubt it
I’m not rooting for us
[hmmm]

second home
02:26
|

Sitting in the car for what felt like forever
But we knew it was worth it
Soon we would get there
We were getting closer
I saw where we’re headed
It felt like relief, I was finally home again
Surrounded by mountains
Breathe in the fresh air
This is where I belong
This is what I call my home
[oooooooooh]
Friends with the local kids
We would not understand their words
But we did everything else
Just a few weeks a year
Felt quite long
But never enough, oh never enough
Surrounded by mountains
Breathe in the fresh air
This is where I belong
This is what I call my home
Mountains and trees landscapes, as far as I can see
This is where I belong
This is what I call my home

not a lovesong
02:50
|
|||
The little things that you say
They make me smile all day
You might not think them through
But they mean so much to me
I’m glad you walked into my life, you made it a lot better
If you ever walked back out, I would be truly sad
But wait what is happening to me
I didn’t mean to write a lovesong
Look at what you made me do
I didn’t mean to write a lovesong
Now we’re back to the verse
I could say something sweet, but this is not what I intended
Yes okay, you’re very nice and I really like you
But I didn’t mean to write about that
Help what is happening to me
Did I just write a lovesong
You must really inspire me
But I didn’t mean to write a lovesong
Now we’re here but I have nothing else to say except for what’s already been said
So I think I’m gonna hum a bit over the next few bars
[hmmmm]
Help what is happening to me
I didn’t mean to write a lovesong
Look at what you made me do
I didn’t mean to write a lovesong
So let’s be clear
Repeat after me
I didn’t mean to write a lovesong

realise
02:18
|

Getting from one point to another without travelling
Teleporting in the most annoying way
I get home and I pour myself into bed
Tryin' to feel the sheets closing me in
Tryin' to feel anything at all
Floating in this vast space of nothingness
But at least there are stars
All these bright lights to keep me company
But I still feel alone

yesterday
02:25

Yesterday was cool
What am I saying?
It was fantastic
There were nice people
There was nice food
And I heard good things
And I laughed
And I danced
And I felt pretty
But I mostly liked the part
Where your lips met mine

arnisty Leuven, Belgium
arnisty loves tree climbing, walking barefoot and singing seemingly simple songs.
No defences. No
coolness. Just a pure voice and authentic songwriting. She sings of childhood memories and tales of ordinary confusion. Or simply apologising to her room because she's moving.
