LYRICS:
Used to believe
in sacred words that would not deceive
True love, naive
Vacant, I grieve for this fantasy
I clamor for claim
A coffin for my shame

Call the oracle
And beg her for release
Samsara has me on my knees
Poison or a cure
They’ll taste the same to me
It’s the oblivion I seek

From this allegory
Trading trust for trophies
Sold my serenity
I’m so far underneath deep free me
Solitude is a sea
Every wave weakens me
I’m so far underneath deep free me

Hostage or soulmate
Is this ventriloquism or fate
Ransom, unpaid
I discard my crusade

Call the oracle
And beg her for release
Samsara has me on my knees
Poison or a cure
They’ll taste the same to me
It’s the oblivion I seek

From this allegory
Trading trust for trophies
Soul for serenity
Counterfeit currency, concede me
Solitude is a sea
Every wave weakens me
I’m so far underneath deep free me

Forget or forgive
I’m either phantom or fugitive
It won’t be long
But I’ll search in vain for you till I’m gone

LYRICS:
  
Caught me running to the river’s edge 
From a history that’s not my friend 
I reached the currents, but they turned their heads 
Leaving me for dead 
  
I thought that I had made it 
Before you drained me hollow 
Now everybody’s waiting 
To sing their song with my notes, oooh 
  
Echo, I call to you, I call to you 
I know what’s left unsaid 
And Echo, I feel for you 
Repeating the voices of 
Every man, every man, man, man, man, 
Every man, every man 
  
Here’s another letter never sent 
Like an epitaph it’s all that’s left of me 
I’m just envelope poetry 
  
And I bet they’ll canonize me 
Another tenth muse, who needed rescue, who found a refuge 
But they don’t know what they don’t know 
  
Echo, I call to you, I call to you 
I know what’s left unsaid 
And Echo, I feel for you 
Repeating the voices of 
Every man, every man, man, man, man, 
Every man, every man 
  
I woke up in a mask, onstage 
Stolen syntax, but heart on display 
A curse they call restoration 
Auto-machia leaves no consolation, no 
  
Aestheticized for his illustration 
No consolation 
Once was the painter, but now I’m what’s painted 
No consolation 
Just another sun for his constellation 
No consolation, no consolation, no consolation 
  
Echo, I call to you, I call to you 
I call to you, I call to you 
I know what’s left unsaid 
Repeating the voices of every man 
Every man every man

LYRICS:
We never talk about it
Too real to put it into words
These moments always seem too crowded
But your distance is the one that burns

So I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
Cuz I'm losing sight
Of love and lust and trust and everything

Feelings so flammable
A high that is tangible
It's not collateral
My eyes are red, and I can feel again

I wouldn’t mind
If you stay here tonight
Cuz something reminds me of love and lust and trust and everything

I know what you probably think of me
I'm just another flame you love to play with
But if you could read through this obscurity
You'd see you are the motif I refrain with

Maybe if I was a more steady person
I wouldn't be constantly searching
for security
I wouldn't hold these bruises in my skin
I would shake off all of this emptiness
It’d fall through me

But I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
Cuz I'm losing sight
Of love and lust and trust and everything

Feelings so flammable
A high that is tangible
It's not collateral
My eyes are red, and I can feel again

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep before I do
I'm scared to dream, I'm scared to bleed for something new
Cuz lately I’ve been chasing myself through the motions
Waiting and waning in this cascade of notion

So I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
Cuz I’m losing sight of love and lust and trust and everything
I wouldn’t mind
If you stay here tonight
Cuz something reminds me
of love and lust and trust and everything

Saleka - Seance (Official Music Video)

Saleka 2022-06-17 | The official music video for "Seance" by Saleka

Listen here: lnk.to/SEANCE

Directed by: Ishana Shyamalan

Lyrics:
I had a dream last night
It rippled through my day
Grandma told me, learn the ragas
Since you don’t know how to pray
 
Baby girl, I left her in September
As time unfurls, it’s harder to remember
Kitchen table conversations, hold em tight
Even the story’s been, colonized
 
Two minds and their both left
To-day’s an unfinished vignette
It’s familiar like a regret
Thought I was moving but I never left no no
I fall in the cadence
Talking bout where it takes me
But I’m only getting
Farther and farther away from me
 
Forever out of line, having history’s a hindrance
Repenting like a crime, any sign of foreign instinct
You were never mine
Neither was the life I’m risking
I’m running out of time, tryna find, where’s the pride I’ve been missing
 
Oh no, only miracle that could save me now is
Go home, let the rhythm break you down
Just hope, when I get there I recognize the sound of
My own voice
 
I’m my own alibi
We left no trail behind
I’m ready to confide
No other suspect I am the one
Doppler effect coming undone
 
Two minds and their both left
To-day’s an unfinished vignette
It’s familiar like a regret
Thought I was moving but I never left no no
I fall in the cadence
Talking bout where it takes me
But I’m only getting
Farther and farther away from
 
Anywhere that we could be free
I’m afraid of what our fate is
In the uncanny valley
Where I’ve been living out my days since
Dehydrated we drink mercury
Waiting to feel weightless
Thinking that it’s bravest
Give in to the sadists
I don’t wanna take this no more
 
Here’s my chance to break abeyance
Desecrate their tableau
Higher powers on hiatus
Use merkaba’s window
It’s the last reincarnation
For this desperado
Light the incense for the seance
Call back what you let go
What you let go

LYRICS:
You kiss me then you walk away
I call it romantic
But all I’m left with is the pain
And some hollow semantics

I’m alone, you’re on a plane
Another city for another day
And I’m missing you
I’m always missing you

Hear the sound of the rain
It’s teasing me as I wait in vain
I’m so sick of you
Oh, I’m so sick of you

Take it or leave it baby
There’s others vying for the throne
Take it or leave it baby
All this love it could be yours
Did you really expect
I’d fall for your neglect
Take it or leave it, oh no, no, no
Take it or leave it

Tell me that it feels like fate
The usual antics
You came for me but cannot stay
And I’m suddenly frantic

You take my hand, touch my face
But every promise dressed in slick word play
When I’m with you
Whenever I’m with you

I hear the sound of the rain
It’s teasing me as I wait in vain
I’m so sick of you
Oh, I’m so sick of you

Take it or leave it baby
There’s others vying for the throne
Take it or leave it baby
All this love it could be yours
Did you really expect
I’d fall for your neglect
Take it or leave it, oh no, no, no
Take it or leave it

After all of this time
You are still on my mind
All of things we’ll never be
It’s my most brutal reverie

After all of this time
How could I be so blind
I pick apart my memory
Searching for reasons not to grieve

Just take it or leave it baby
There’s others vying for the throne
Take it or leave it baby
All this love it could be yours
Hell or heaven sent
My angel of torment
Take it or leave it, oh no, no, no
Take it or leave it

LYRICS:
There is a place where no one’s broken
Land of escape, it’s always open
Tempting my fate, misguided omens
There is a place, there is a place, there is a place

And every time I close my eyes I’m there, I’m there
Somewhere in the clouds I swear
I feel you
Hold me while the edges tear
I need proof

I search the crowd for your face
One sided chase, I’m a fool (fool, fool)
I replay every embrace
Just for a trace of you (you, you)

I lay awake, my body frozen
Time is opaque but still in motion
All I create will soon be stolen, but
There is a place, there is a place, there is a place

And every time I close my eyes I’m there, I’m there
Flowers fall into my hair,
And I’m renewed
Up above the trees are bare
They speak truth

I search the crowd for your face
One sided chase, I’m a fool (fool, fool)
I replay every embrace
Just for a trace of you (you, you)

I need you, I, I need you
Come claim me now
I need you, I need you, need you
Too late to save me now

I sit in empty rooms and wear my crown
As this castle crumbles to the ground
I’ll lay here with these broken vows
Never to be found

Lyrics:
Meet me in the hotel lobby
At midnight
I’m in my red dress just for you
Waited for you at the party
I’ve lost sight
Done all I said I wouldn’t do
And I cannot believe I’m crying, crying
After all the times I’ve played this game before
I cannot believe I’m trying, trying
Thought we’d have one more night
Just one more night, before I said goodbye
Could you give me one more night
Just one more night, before I say goodbye
All you gotta do is say my name
I’ll be there
I am powerless with you
I’m the only one that’s left to blame
I don’t care
Rewrite your requiem for two
And I cannot believe I’m crying, crying
After all the times I’ve lost this game before
I cannot believe I’m trying, trying, ooh
Thought we’d have one more night
Just one more night, before I said goodbye
Could you give me one more night, just one more night
Before I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Fire and greed
Make their way to my soul
I watch you leave
Then lay down on the cold floor
One more night, just one more night
Before I say goodbye
One more night, one more night

#Saleka #Remain #OldTheMovie

Lyrics:
Somewhere on the edge of sleep
There is a taste of peace
Every night we dance in my dreams

But Cupid’s an archer
His violent departure
Leaves us at the altar
Wounded, weak and ready to bleed

I’ll wash away someday
No monuments made in my name
There is no life I’d trade
You are my reason to remain
And I will remain
Through comfort and pain
Till I wash away

You are all that I can see
Alone I’m obsolete
Every fight is purgatory

Stripped of the armor
We plead and we barter
We stray from our harbor
Searching for some false remedy

I’ll wash away someday
No monuments made in my name
There is no life I’d trade
You are my reason to remain
And I will remain
Through comfort and pain
Till I wash away

I could never leave you
You are my first and last love
Everyday I’m near you
I have enough

I’ll wash away someday
No monuments made in my name
There is no life I’d trade
You are my reason to remain
And I will remain
Ooh- oh

Saleka - How Many

Saleka 2021-08-13 | The official lyric video for "How Many" by Saleka
Directed by Rafael "Rafatoon" Pérez

LISTEN HERE: ffm.to/howmanysaleka

LYRICS:
I have been staring at ceilings
Throwing things at the wall
Just for the sound of impact
To prove I still have any at all
The margins keep rising
But prejudice won’t fall
A cycle of centuries
Karma can you hear this call

How many minds
Have been forsaken
How many lives
Wrongfully taken
How many lies, how many times?
Before this movement starts to move
Before it’s recognized as truth
How many, how many, how many times

I'm watching leaders preach perjury and
Deny the pending penance
Then condemn those marching the streets below
Afraid they might mark our presence
Twisted ink chokes us till every breath is a blessing
Till faces are defaced and survival requires protesting

How many minds
Have been forsaken
How many lives
Wrongfully taken
How many lies, how many times?
Before this movement starts to move
Before it’s recognized as truth
How many times

Consensual illusion
Of a system that heals with time
While keepers remain killers
And color remains a
Color remains a crime
Color remains a crime

How many minds
Have been forsaken
How many lives
Wrongfully taken
How many lies, how many times, how many times?
Before this movement starts to move
Before it’s recognized as truth
How many, how many, how many times?
(Riff outro)

Saleka - The Sky Cries (From the Apple TV+ Original Series Servant, Season 2)

Saleka 2021-03-19 | Official music video from the Apple TV+ Original Series “Servant”, Season 2.

Saleka - Graffiti (Official Music Video)

Saleka 2021-02-05 | The official music video for "Graffiti" by Saleka
Directed by: Ishana Shyamalan

"Graffiti" is about the power of words, especially the words of those who we love. How they are like spells, and often end up defining our world, who we believe we are and what we believe we can become.

Listen here: ffm.to/salekagraffiti

LYRICS:
I hear nostalgia drip
From my fingertips
I taste duende on your skin
This feels a little bit like sin

You soak my hair in red wine
Your fingers on my back trace “your mine”
We crescendo into the blur of our nightly chase
But something heavy flickers in the negative space

His graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me, yea
I’m covered in graffiti, oooh
Tabula rasa, I can’t give it to you yet
My fire still lights for his cigarette
Graffiti all over me

His absence is dense
But your magnetics are immense
We melt into December mornings
Ignoring all the storm warnings

You wanna fall into the waves
But I’m numb from abrasion
He still skates on my margins
Through my connotations

His graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me yea I’m covered in graffiti, oooh
Tabula rasa I can’t give it to you get
My fire still lights for his cigarette
Like using Daedalus’ wings to fly
Addicted to the momentary high
Of his graffiti all over me
Graffiti that you can’t see
Believe me, yeah
I’m covered in graffiti, oooohhh

Saleka - Mr. Incredible (Official Music Video)

Saleka 2020-11-13 | “Mr. Incredible” is a song about relationships and mental health. It is told through the voice of a woman trying desperately to communicate with a partner who is constantly falling into depression, and seems to always be slipping away from her. Loving him is like chasing a ghost, and in trying to reach him and keep him close she instead ends up fragmenting her own self.

LYRICS
Every time I see you I repeal you
I don’t need you after all
I got it now, I got it now

I was already outside
When you called me
Saying you want me
But I couldn’t move
Had something to lose

A little bit of clarity
A little bit of air to breathe
I think I got it now
Telling me turn around, yea
Close my eyes and keep on walking
I don’t know where I’ll be
At least I got my clarity

So many times I followed you into the river
Left me holding on to whatever’s nearest no
Not this time no
Now this I know

It’s like you’re doing CPR on a dead body
The way you stand in front of me
After watching her die
Then tell the family you tried
You tried, you tried, no you didn’t try
Mmm this time, no lie, no you didn’t try
You never, you never tried

I should've known
This momentum wouldn’t last
All of the distance you got me running
All of the lengths you keep me at
I ain’t coming back

A little bit of clarity
A little bit of air to breathe
I think I got it now
Telling me turn around, yea
Close my eyes and keep on walking
I don’t know where I’ll be
At least I got my clarity, oooh-no
A little bit of clarity
A little bit of air to breathe
I think I got it now
Telling me turn around, yea
Close my eyes and keep on walking
I don’t know where I’ll be
At least I got my clarity, clarity

Saleka 2020-09-05 | A behind the scenes look into vocal warm ups with Mama Jan.

I’m so thankful to know this amazing woman and to have her support and mentorship in music and in life. It is really hard to explain all that Mama Jan is, or all that she does because there is no real title for it, and there is no one like her.
