Mooie Woorden: Angel Olsen


16 september 2016

In september brengt Angel Olsen haar nieuwe album My Woman uit. Op dit album heeft Olsen het weer eens over een andere boeg gegooid en dat is allesbehalve een slecht idee geweest. Bij The Daily Indie houden we al jaren van Olsen haar stijl en composities, maar ook zeker haar teksten. Daarom hebben wij besloten om haar woordelijke hersenspinsels uitgebreid af te drukken.

Not Gonna Kill You

My Woman (2016)

My watch is blurry when I look down at my hands

I’m just another, alive with impossible plans

I turn the lights low but we both know where we are

And when it’s over, what becomes of your pure heart?

A love that never seems too careful to confine will be forever

Never lost or too defined

To lose the feeling of an endless searching through

How to have made what is never about me or you

That is the kind of love I’d always dreamed to be

However painful, let it break down all of me

‘Til I am nothing else but the feeling

‘Til I am nothing else but the feeling

Becoming true

Becoming true

Can’t help feeling the way that I do

Can’t help feeling the way that I do

Become a prophet

Become a fool

I’ll let the light shine in

I’ll let the light shine in

I’ll let the light shine in

May the best of you win

Who is your truest friend?

Are they there at your end?

I’ll let the light be black

And let some tears be shed

Do it all over again

I’ll let the light shine in

It’s not gonna kill you, it’s not gonna kill you

It’s not gonna kill you, it’s not gonna kill you

It’s not gonna break you, it’s just gonna shake you

Shake you alive
