Anna Von Hausswolff - Persefone

...

Anna von Hausswolff - Ugly And Vengeful

I'm restless
I'm older
I'm heavy
Like a stone

Forgiven, foresaken
I'm searing
At my pores

I wanna die
For the stone
For the stone
For the stone
I can't die for the stone
For the stone

He wants to have my glorious
He wants to have my glorious
He wants to have my glorious

I am restless
And I'm older
And I'm heavy
Like a stone
Stone
Stone
Stone
Stone

Anna von Hausswolff - Move On

Things they never say
Sleep it all away
Things you’d like to know
Through a dream

See it in his eyes
Follow it by your
Moving out of it
I want to know how it feels to hold.
How it feels
How it feels

All of it is fake.
Announced by your mistake
I thought
I had it all clear
Here
Clear
But theres some things
You really don’t need to hear

Anna von Hausswolff - The Hope Only of Empty Men

I think I see a knight

I'm gonna fuck him for a while

And the ocean is gone

But I can see for miles

I can see there's nothing here

Smile

I can hear all your sorrows

I think I'm going crazier and healthier

I can see the obvious

That there is nothing here

Still

Anna von Hausswolff - The Truth, The Glow, The Fall

[Part 1 - The Truth]

After the fall
After the fall
After the fall
I'll find you

After the fall
After the fall
After the fall
I'll find you

Unexpected out from nowhere
Was the truth told for me
From his heart and from his sadness
He sadly sang for me

Can you hear the song?
Can you hear the song?
Can you hear the song?
It haunts you
It haunts you


[Part 2 - The Glow]

My sweet John
My dear John
Oh my love
My sweet John
My dear John
Oh my love
Are we touching the magic?
Are we wearing the white angel's glow
Surrounded by mountains
In a valley free from the snow
Will we fall?
Will we fall where we fall?
Will we fall?
Will we fall where we fall?

Oh down in the river
Down to the bodies below
Oh down in the chaos
Driven by black magic glow

My sweet John
My dear John
Oh my love
Will we fall?
Will we fall where we fall?


[Part 3 - The Fall]

Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall
Feel the fall

Anna von Hausswolff - Liturgy Of Light

Liturgy of light, I am going backwards
To be more precise: are we still here?
History of shame, I will not spell it
Liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
It's written all around

Some of it is true, but we can't see it
The news are full of faults, where's all the hope?
All together now: can we recite it?
Say liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
And it's a long road that we share
It's a long road for us young ones
It's written all around, all around
It's written all around, all around

Anna von Hausswolff - Källans Återuppståndelse

In the golden sun
The disarming sun
When my body bleeds
While we become undone
When the morning comes to embrace
The glorious I shall become
To see your face and to see your smile
And all the traces that I have left behind

And the seasons change
To mark my home
The glorious I shall become
To dissolve myself into emptiness
And to rise again with one stone less

Anna von Hausswolff - Discovery

Oh my
I'm guided by something
I'm shocked, I'm stunned, and I can't sing
A beauty, a spirit, a body for me to inherit
Oh Mother I plead
The earth
The sun
The rats
The dust
The lost son
The sea
The sky
The stars
The night
I miss my sister my flickering light
A hand that reaches out for me
I hear it somewhere but I can't see
We stumble upon a broken tree
I leave the past to set me free
Run to the Sun

Anna von Hausswolff - Harmonica

He left me in a day
He left me in a strange way
I knew he couldn't stay
But he left me, in a day

And as he lay down on his hospital bed
I play him a love song
The harmonica lies calmly in his hands
But he won't be playing for long
But I know all his songs

He left me in a day
He left me in a strange way
I knew he couldn't stay
But he left me, in just a day

And as he lay down on his hospital bed
I play him a love song
The harmonica lies calmly in his hands
But he won't be playing for long
But I know all his songs

Anna von Hausswolff - Above All

Above all, it remains it remains
Vulnerable, it remains it remains
And they say that all has changed
And from that nothing remains
Once in a while they hang by their lives
But, when the end comes near, cameras on
Will love disappear?
And they say nothing has changed
And from that nothing remains
But as I saw her this night
Her eyes were glooming to find, love and conditions
On dark unfriendly ground

'Cause she's heading for the rooftops
She is running and she can't stop
She is heading for the rooftops
She is running and she can't stop

"Sit by my bed. Don't be scared!" Grandma said
"Read for me, Anna Oh be my bread"
And she whispered: "Oh my dear. Death should not be a fear
So save me this night
Why won't you save me, from this time?
Why won't you save me, from falling down?
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down."

'Cause she's heading for the rooftops. She is running and she can't stop
She is heading for the rooftops
She is running
She is running
She is running
So save her this night
Why won't you save her from this time?
Why won't you save her from falling down

Anna von Hausswolff - The Marble Eye

...

Anna von Hausswolff - Evocation

I see it coming closer now
I see it very clear
The tree, the spring, the history
The spirits that are there
I see it coming closer now
The picture of a place
I see myself inside the house
I'm covering my face

Anna von Hausswolff - Mountains Crave

Mountains Crave
So they say
They say your name
Floods in the bay
It's a shame
It's a shame
The pain turn to rain
Ain't calming down
Will it calm down?
And as far as we go
We go down
Will we go down?
And as far as we know
How do we know?
How do we know?

And as a far as we can go
How far to go?
How far to go?
And the Mountains Crave
It's in your name
They'll vanish some day
With your name
How do we know?
How do we know?
How do we know?
Do we know?
How do we know?
How can we know?
How do we know?
... that love will go on

Anna von Hausswolff - Old Beauty/Du Kan Nu Dö

Your beauty overwhelms me when you open the door.
You're old but you are shining like you've never done before.
There's something here changing
and I'm trying to catch up.
But the light is now upon your chest.
You are out of reach for us

You outshine. You outshine me.

Times they are a chaning when we're passing through this door.
And yes, you are a beauty like you never were before.
And as I look upon your face I see it in your eyes.

You're not longer part of this
You are now prepared to die.

You gotta go. You got a goal.

Du förlorade ju målet. Du förlorade din strid.
(You missed the goal. You lost your battle.)

Men, något säger mig
(But something tells me)

att du har gett dessa händelser tid.
(that you've given these events time)

Det är något här som ändrats och jag tror jag vet vad det är.
(There's something here that's changed and I think I know what it is)

Livet är dig ej längre kärvt, för här står du mot det och ler.
(Life's no longer harsh to you, for here you're facing it with a smile)

Du kan nu dö.
(You may now die)

Du kan nu dö.
(You may now die)

Du kan nu dö.
(You may now die)

Anna von Hausswolff - The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra

My feet are not enough
My feet are not enough
My feet are not enough
My feet are not enough

To save me
To save me

His search is not enough
His search is not enough

To find me
To find me

My love is not enough
My love is not enough

To save me
To save me

You search through the forest and the bottomless sea
And you cry
Push the trees, push the sky, push the air aside

You look at their faces and their meaningless loss
And you cry
Who is she, who is she, who is she to say good bye?

Bye

Anna von Hausswolff - Stranger

We're walking in a curved line into something new
The birds are watching every step I take
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon there is a hole
It's covered up in darkness and fear

But then there is something moving against me
It's not in line with what I know
Changing the heart
Changing the spirit
Changing my path
Changing my soul

My sight is clear the colors are expanding
I don't drown in the mirror on the wall
There is no time, there is no face, there is no me
I'm following a shadow while I'm reaching for the sun

But then You tell me I shouldn't worry
You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn't worry
Why is this stranger in sync with my heart?

I tip toe here I don't want you to see me
I'm listening
I'm stolen by every word you say
A dream is pulling out my heart and spirit
And I'm scared to fall, I'm scared of death, and I am
Scared of all the lies

But then you tell me I shouldn't worry
You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn't worry
We live now, let's live now, as we won't live for long

Anna von Hausswolff - Funeral For My Future Children

I’ll bury all my children
I’ll carry them to death
I’ll bury all my children
I’ll carry them to death

Oh, to linger in their stories
Exhausted by their weight
My milk is gray and bitter but I’ll
Carry them each day

To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah

Anna von Hausswolff - Track Of Time

You keep troubles in your mind
And you keep them there all the time
And you won't share them apart
'cause of your broken heart, you keep losing your time
You keep losing your time

Hope is a pearl that your share
You share it all the time with people all around
And, you can't seem to find time
But, you can't seem to find time
And you loose it all the time
You can't keep tracking your time
You loose it. All the time
You loose it all the time
You loose it all the time, the track of time

Hope is a pearl that I share. I share it with you
It's a pearl that I share
I share it with you, all the time
I share it with you, all the time
So I loose my track of time
I can't keep tracking my time
I loose it. All the time
I loose it all the time
I loose it all the time
I loose it all the time, the track of time
