Hjärtan fortsätter att slå
Sorry that I kept the text in Swedish, but here is the English translation: . I hear the city's heartbeat in my pulse, a refrain of smoke and glitter Your voice is like a broken Bowie record, stuck in an untuned groove Spinning in a backstreet bar I walk along the frozen sidewalks, dreaming of our all-too-few lost nights In the glow of a lonely streetlamp, I whisper your name to the night . Oh, in the dim neon light I carry a longing—filled with blues Oh, in the dim neon light Hearts keep beating, despite all we've lost . We shared a secret stardust, somewhere between a rush and hope You let me taste the sweetness of sorrow in every shattered breath Now the memory echoes in the silence of the cosmos Like a vision I will never reach I close my eyes and still can feel the scent of wine and defeat . Oh, in the dim neon light I carry a longing—filled with blues Oh, in the dim neon light Hearts keep beating, despite all we've lost . Our shadows merge in a cosmic fantasy The night’s cold wraps us in sooty shimmer, dreams drifting by I call out in the darkness for answers, but the words get caught in my chest And yet, you are always closer in memory, so tender and undeniablemore

Caught in Love

Radio Shadow
This is how it can feel sometimes (quite often) for me. . I used to feel the buzz all around Spotlight shining, lifting me off the ground Now my phone lies quiet by my bed Only echoes roaming in my head . I’m living in a radio shadow Where nobody hears my call Living in a radio shadow Where silence conquers all . The world keeps spinning, I stand still No one knocks, no space to fill Loneliness tells me to hide away But in this hush, I find my way . I’m living in a radio shadow Where nobody hears my call Living in a radio shadow Where silence conquers all . Is the signal lost, did it drift away?more
