Traces of Light

TRACES OF LIGHT

Low little signal
dust in the wire
one crooked rhythm
looking for fire

Somebody breathing
behind the wall
light comes back slowly
after all

Night in my pocket
dust on my tongue
I keep on breathing
where the dark comes from

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way

Verse 1

I got a face in the window
but it don’t look back
Got a little black cloud
in a paper bag

I keep my head down
when the room gets bright
Got a soft little secret
and a long dark night

Mirror said, careful
don’t move too much
Don’t want too loud
Don’t want too touched

But there’s a hum in the floor
and a crack in the frame
Something keeps calling
without my name

Pre-Chorus

And I go
low, low, low
where the old ghosts hide

Then I go
slow, slow, slow
to the other side

Chorus

Aurora, Lia, Selma, Maria
Noor, Marion, Claudia, Yara
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa

I fall down
but not forever
I fade out
but not today

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way

Verse 2

I had a coat made of silence
and a mouth full of rain
Had a little white room
where I kept my pain

I made myself clean
I made myself small
I made myself easy
to forget in the hall

Then the beat came walking
through the wall one night
With a broken little halo
and a cheap blue light

Said, come on now
you don’t have to be gone
You can carry the dark
and still move on

Pre-Chorus

And I go
low, low, low
where the old ghosts hide

Then I go
slow, slow, slow
to the other side

Chorus

Aurora, Lia, Selma, Maria
Noor, Marion, Claudia, Yara
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa

I fall down
but not forever
I fade out
but not today

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way

Bridge

Not a verdict
not a wound
not the mirror
not the room

Not the silence
not the night
just a body
finding light

If I tremble
let me tremble
If I break
let the breaking say

I was never gone
I was only hidden
I was never gone
I was on my way

Break / Groove

Low, low, low
where the old ghosts hide

Slow, slow, slow
to the other side

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way

Final Chorus

Aurora, Lia, Selma, Maria
Noor, Marion, Claudia, Yara
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa
Aiko, Alma, Isa, Isa

I fall down
but not forever
I fade out
but not today

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way

Outro

Hold me softly
where the night begins
I keep breathing
underneath my skin

Light comes back
in little pieces
Light comes back
in a crooked way
