about

This is an experiment on my song "Hammers", a song co-written with Tricky on soundcloud, he started it as an "Unfinished Track" and I added voice+lyrics: soundcloud.com/lydiaplain/hammers

lyrics

(let your fear down)

there’s a shadow in my mind
it causes darkness everywhere
and there’s storm and volcanos
big explosions everywhere

(let your fear down)

but all these hammers are hitting still
and I can’t recall how my skin feels
in the sun

(I let my fear down)

I let my fear down
and then I dived in this place
where you were exploring love
I’ll keep you warm, babe
as you continue
causing troubles more and more

but all these hammers are hitting hard
and I can’t hear your voice so far
from here

let your fear down
let your fear down
as I let mine
let your fear down

there’s a storm here, and volcanos
big explosions from above
there is darkness and closeness
two young souls exploring love

but all these hammers are hitting still
and I can’t recall how my skin feels
in the sun.
