You think your hands are warm but they are cold to the touch. You fucking hate and manipulate tell me i am noone. You think it’s allright to be cruel it’s so human of you. It was a cold, cold day when things fell apart. It was a sad, sad thing this ice on my heart. You think a person needs to be broken so that’s what you do. You think it’s allright to be cruel it’s so human of you. So you smile, I see you smile when I cry. You drag me under, drag me down when I try to surface, not to let you take my smile. But I am strong, I can be stronger than life. Drag me down underwater. I can’t breathe, noone saves me. Drag me down into sorrow. Take my hand I’ll drown you with me.
Shireen - BEACON [Official music video] Shireen 2024-02-16 | Directed by: Annicke ShireenDirector of Photography: Wildeman VisualsStyling on set: Nina Cornelia SchilpProduction assistance: Rinske van BuurenSet Building: Barry Feteris, Berend de Vries, Rowan SchuddeboomABOUT BEACON:Beacon is the opening song of Shireen latest released CD ELYTRA. The story behind it is a motivating one, about inner journey towards healing. The beacon is lit and light shines on the landscape that is our inner world. through this illumination we find knowledge that helps us out of the darkness, and into a lighter state of mind. The light shines on our dark places, showing us that what is in this darkness is not as scary as it seemed. It is all part of us, and we are part of it. Beacon is a message to every person that we can overcome our darkest night. ABOUT ELYTRA:The word Elytra refers to the shields protecting the delicate flying wings of a beetle. To us naming our release thusly, it symbolises the protected creative space of the band that allows musical evolution and facilitate “flight” in SHIREENS ongoing musical journey, exploring new musical landscapes. On top of that it refers to the anatomy of a song; the colourful beautiful outer shell that i the music, sound, artwork, that covers and sometimes reveals the delicate veined structure of emotions and deeper meaning within.

Longing for some part, screaming words out loud. It happened so fast, my hungry heart swept away in a storm when our path crossed. It happened so fast, my lonely heart broken bleeding and torn, needing many stitches. Lead me through this world I walk on broken feet. Don’t give up the good when evil is a part of it. We’re collecting sins into tiny boxes. Then we’re given wings to fly over our ashes. It happened so fast, my lonely hungry swept away in a storm when our paths crossed. It happened so fast, my lonely heart broken bleeding and torn, needing many stitches.Why are you dancing in line on every tune you hear. We’re making music from words that aren’t even clear. The darkness is swept away with your harmony. The truth is just a thing we believe in. The truth is just a thing we believe in.

Many thanks to our fantastic crew and all our extras for helping us make this happen!Lyrics:If I would give you my clear skies, If I would give you all golden fields of grain. Strong legs, a tireless heart. An ocean as still as a lake. Would you still worship and pray, and not forget my name: "Umai". Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail. I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields. And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die. And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face. If you are a sweet child. Never scream to get your way. I will forget you lying there. I’ll sleep for a million days, and not hear your prayers: “Umai”.Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail. I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields. And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die. And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face. You will pray: “Umai”.
