Rushing Waters

(Jaime Marie)

There is a desperation in knowing that you can't hold on to someone who is eager to walk away. The tears, and the floodgates of hope and sorrow are only a temporary safeguard against the inevitable. The speaker longs to stop what they know has already begun. But as it slips away, they aren't surprised.

Verse 
The air is heavy
The world is still
I sit here waiting
Elbows the window sill

Pre-chorus
The tears come like the rain,
The waters roll but I can't complain
Each day seems to look the same
And I'm tired of the endless game

Chorus 
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries 

Only the rushing waters keep you here

Verse
The air is quiet 
And the world is dark
You lit me up
You were once the spark 

Pre-chorus
The tears come like the rain,
The waters roll but I can't complain
Each day seems to look the same
And I'm tired of the endless game

Chorus 
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries 

Only the rushing waters keep you here

Bridge
We're on dry land now
So run away if you can
I can't keep here
Can't make you understand
Because

Chorus 
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries 

Only the rushing waters keep you here

So Stop (Breaking My Heart)

By Jaime Marie

This is a song about someone who is ready to move on with their life. They are tired of being broken, and they are ready to take a stand. They ask the person they love to let them go. This person hasn't been treated with love, and they are ready to courageously take ownership of themselves. It borders on an anthem. They have made a decision, and they are going to fight for their freedom.

Mazarine

By Erika Poling

"A deep purplish blue derived from cobalt, mazarine falls somewhere between hyacinth, sapphire and cyanine. Historically, this distinctive colour has been associated with textiles (particularly academic dress) and ceramics, but how or why it came to be known as mazarine is up for debate with two etymologies often cited (Ward, 2015)."

Neuanfang

By Nadine Schulze

Dieser Text beschreibt einen schrecklichen "Klassiker" im Bereich Liebe. Der Mann brennt mit der besten Freundin durch bzw. die Frau mit dem besten Kumpel. Schlimmer geht es kaum, da man gleich zwei Menschen verliert, die man geliebt hat und denen man blind vertraute. Dieser Text soll einem Betroffenen Mut machen, das alles hinter sich zu lassen und einen Neuanfang zu wagen.
