SHADOW PLAY
©2020 E. Ghill
For tonight I'm just a kid projecting shapes on a screen
A wolf guzzling red riding hood and a busted violin
Next I'm the head of a state but too lazy to think
I'm an old man catching a wink
Now I'm a teenage girl dating Justin in her dreams
I put a ball of wool in my bra pretending my boobs are real
I'm a primal gorilla proving its might in the ring
And doc said I was insane
My life is a shadow play
that's between me myself and I
so many faces I love to display
morphing in a blink of an eye
I'm a dangerous psycho fan of the scary movie series
I'm a preacher and a hooker, an alcoholic who can't quit
I'm a cloistered geek behind his comp and the hero of his game
I'm a male and a female at the same time
Chorus
Jekyll and Hide
Bonnie and Clyde
The groom and the bride
I'm never the same
Coz I'm more than
the two sides of lame
Me, myself and he and she and you in I
Chorus
I'm a bird, I'm a tool a fruit of anything
Inventing lives on a projection screen
Me, myself and he and she and you in I
​
UNDEAD
©2020 E. Ghill
Rambling in the dark and she looks my way
Rush into the fire flickering in her eyes
Cannot hide the desire, cannot but betray
The stiffness of my body before my demise
Wrapped in the fragrance of her pastel skin
Chilled by the wintry touch of her hands
Her lips and her bites sway right under my chin
Let poison run into my veins
The gaze is kind of blurred
I'm misled
She made me one of hers
I'm undead
She keenly sucks my life out in a night
Makes her rise and makes me wince at the time
When the clouds fade in the morning light
She leaves me lost in my delirium
Chorus
EVERYTHING IS GONE
©2020 E. Ghill
Lost
I was lost
Daily, I convinced myself
That I didn't do enough
Lies
Living lies
Couldn't tell what was wrong from true
I'm going away from you
I'm going away from you
But I won't crawl back, crawl back when
You will never understand
Crawl back and crawl back when
You bring things to an end
Crawl back and crawl back when
Everything is gone
Everything is gone
Past
It's all in past
Though all my memories are fresh
I'm giving my heart rest
And I’m jumping out of the nest
Chorus x2
LUNATIQUE
©2020 E. Ghill/A.Gheysens
La lune est blonde et vagabonde au-dessus de nos toits
Etrange monde qu'elle inonde sous ses eclats
La lune est rousse et se fait douce sur ton sofa
File a ses trousses si elle rebrousse le pas
Mais elle n'en reste pas moins lunatique,
Lunatique.
La lune est brune et sa rancune ne se tamise pas
De ses tribunes ton infortune elle convoitera
Mais elle n'en reste pas moins lunatique
Lunatique
Mal lunee mais pas moins lunatique
Lunatique
WHAT HER HANDS HEAD FOR
©2020 E. Ghill
Look, she ain't wanna play along with the rules
Deep inside she thinks about sailing different seas
She's able to rely on choices of her own
And they can't always turn out to be according to plan
In her dreams she escapes with her lady lover
In her mind it became an incredible aim
Their bodies' sweating hard when they're put together
Remains the only thing she will forever claim
She is looking for this wave in her chest
Other wonders to explore
It has always made her fantasize, this weird fever,
This is what her hands will keep on heading for.
No, this is not a curse cast by an evil eye
If no man can pretend to be her favorite pie
Adding spices to her nights ain’t no disaster
To see it as a reason to turn your backs on her
So she'll go to enjoy this different taste
And she'll definitely get a real kick out of it
She'll just be true to herself and won't have wasted
Her life and everything that she believed in
Chorus
Past the belt
Lies in her hands
What's coming next
She just needs some protection
Desire and consummation
Ain't no wreck as it breeds her vision of elevation
Chorus (x2)
FROM MY OWN HELL
©2020 A. Gheysens/E.Ghill
Close the door
I can't speak anymore
Outside, everything standing still
Like an empty field
On my knees, I'm diving into deep
bending beneath the weight of my burning body
Is that a human trap
where my soul has collapsed
to make me feel things I can't tell?
Take off this coat of ice
so that I can cry out
when I can't find a way back from my own hell?
It's a long road
that I have followed
although I may have run so fast
that i've messed up my mind
Somebody please could help me to release
me from this frame that doesn't suit
this picture of mine?
Chorus (x2)
... until you show me where the sun points out to be
​
IF I
©2020 E. Ghill
Barely can hear my thoughts
through the ringing of your voice,
even when I sink in the city silent streets.
Can't help but reminisce
pieces of what we've shared,
Now that you're gone
I hope you found what you've been longing for.
Maybe I'll try
to replace you in vain
Maybe I'll find
how to seize every day
What if you truly need me
and I forget you now?
As you wormed yourself in
You've left a hole inside
And now that you're gone
I still feel this place where you used to reside
What if I lie
Saying I've started over
What if I fly
To a better place to stay
What If I just get away
Will you forget me now?
I don't know how to fight
this feeling that I get when I miss you
I don't know how to fight
this feeling that I get when I need you
Chorus b
What if I die
Living alone
What if I end
Hanged to my memories
What If I just get away
Will you recall me now?
Will I forget you now?
​
TAKE ME AWAY
©2020 E. Ghill
Can't stand up without you cause
you're the right leg, i'm the left
If i ain't got your ears to listen
i'm unconditionally deaf
I can't hold without cause
you're the shoulder that i need
If I ain't got your eyes right in my face
ain't anything for me to see
I am stuck to you brother,
Yes, we're just one and the same
And I'm stronger when we're together
for i'm twice the man I am
Don't give up on me brother
or i'll fall along the way
And if one day or another
You feel that you cannot stay
Take me away...
Though i've tried to get a life
and dislodge you from my brain
You put rhythm into my heart
and a future in my hands
So giving you up, or splitting you up
is a pointless surgery
We get a bigger jam when you're there
To take out all the music inside me
Chorus
If you go there's no track that I can keep
so please take me away
If you go there's no sound that I can clear
so take me away
If you fo there's no air that I can feel
So take me away
If you go there's no song that I sing
so take me away
Take me away...
​
MOMENT OF CREATION
©2020 A.Gheysens/E.Ghill
As the early morning frost
Disappear into thin air
Awaken by this shimmering light
And this song in my head
Flashes of the road so far
Til the time when you got me
Make up my life from the start
For something new
Oh you're my joy
My imagination
Free my mind from yesterday
Curled up in front of the fire
The cold will never get me
Strumming the chords of my guitar
Unconsciously
You're spinning like a satellite
Watching over my world
You build some planets in my skies
For new destinations
Oh you're my joy
My imagination
Lead my mind to better days
Free my mind from yesterday
Lead my mind to better days
Every silence is a clue
To a moment of creation
For what it is we wanna do
Without explanation
​
GOTTA MEND
©2020 E. Ghill
Old time crystalized in a lonesome tear
A kaleidoscope of mixed up memories
Leaving on my face the salty injuries
Of what is left behind and what is to fear
You were my friend
I gotta mend
Sat by a window of this aimless train
I can't recognize my beloved land
I try to reach out the exit to find
If anything can bloom where all's already ruined.
Chorus
Time will be passing by,
the biggest cracks won't be erased
but i will let your ghosts be swept by the wind
I will hit the road again
For a better time and space
No need to settle down
when I ain't got anything
Chorus (x2)
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE YOU
©2020 E. Ghill
It's funny how I got there
thinking that you cared
made it easier to squeeze me dry
and cast my peel aside
Took my scarf to mop your snags up
tipped your sorrows in my cup
but once you needn't show at my door
I don't exist anymore
like a smothered face under your pillow
How can you say I set you down
When you used me and fooled me?
How could I mess things all around
When I minded everything?
Now you leave me rotting on the ground
I figure it out, I ain't nothing like you
You played with bits of my bones
But I'm not made of stone
Pieces scattered by the storm
I can fix it on my own
You won't lift a finger after all
How can you say I set you down
When you screwed me and spoiled me?
How could I mess things all around
When I sucked up everything?
Now you leave me rotting on the ground
To please you, amuse you
You can make me the one to be wrong
I figure it out, I'm much more than you
And I am the one to let you down
You don't get me, deserve me
I let you mess your things around
Coz I just wanna get up
Now I'm rising myself from the ground
Nothing will ever stop me
And I shall thank you for all of what you've done
Coz I figured it out
Chorus c
I figured it out, I ain't nothing like you
ANOTHER SEASON
©2020 E. Ghill
Red leaves lay on the ground
Snow is still falling down
Watching people going home
Evening's coming by the avenue
Town's skies are turning red
Sunrise is creeping in my bed
I'm feeling lost and at home
doesn't matter if i'm alone
I'll paint a world to shut me up
To mess around and soothe me down
In my reveries of another season
Time has just stop running
there's no future that I can believe in
I'm staring at the gold sun
smiling to the silver moon
guess i'm breathing as i've always done
and now my day's fading into gloom
Chorus
BREAKING LOOSE
©2020 E. Ghill
Mom, I woke up today to notice
I'm not a child anymore
Look, my reflection in the mirror
Seems not mine but his
Do you know that jerk in front of me?
I'm not sure that I turned into what I hope to be.
I wanted to be like superman
But I'm just working for bureaucracy
I wished to be a dad and happy
I got two kids on my own who are just driving me mad
Guess there're things that I can be proud of
But I never felt this stuff that everyone calls love.
It's time to give up and drive away
It's not too late to stray
It's time to climb high in a toddy palm
To reach my cloudy dreams
It's now that I feel like I can fly
I'm just breaking loose and give me a new try
After ten shots of tequila I'm calling
The woman of my dreams
Said hey babe, know you're single so do you wanna go out tonight?
I'm taking a new start
I'm gonna tell my fucking boss that I quit
Wanna be a movie star and I'll do anything for it
Chorus
Hey relax max,
Ain't no caterpillar tracks
It's time to give up
To have a stirrup cup
It's time to stray
Ain't no need to delay
Coz it's never too late
You don't live to regret
I'm gonna be unwed again
Gonna release me from this pain
Find what's thing called love
If there's a God above
Gonna call Woody, Tim and Francis
Shoot a film in Paris
Coz it's never too late
And it's about time...
Chorus
It's time that I felt like I can fly
I'm just breaking loose and give me a new try
​
THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN
©2020 E. Ghill
See, victory shine on this battlefield
shadows took off your feet
Life is splashing colours onto your cheeks
echoes end in melodies
heartaches, illness, rumours, loss and deceit
Can injure and make you weak
Black and white regrets won't even beat it
Sometimes you have to admit
These things could happen
These things could happen
Wounds and flaws are part of every story
And it shapes who you are
There's no shame to have in being the freak
For what you learn may bring you far
You've reached the point of an open ending
Talked them down and stopped whining
Pick up the dreams you left on the floor
There is nothing to wait for
These things could happen
These things could happen
Go where you wanna go
These things could happen
These things could happen​​​​

MOVING ON (with The Wolf)
©2023 E. Ghill / The Wolf
​​
I don’t know why you don’t get it
Coz this time I really had it
I wanna escape this endlęss fight
Get outta this suffocating light
Everyime you’d like to stop it
There’s an act that doesn’t fit in
The way that I wanna love myself
So you’d better go and ask yourself
Am I the one to show you disrespect
When it’s your insecurities that reflect
There’s nothing more from me you can expect
I’ll be moving on
Forget the things you do
I’ll be moving on
Without the hold of you
I’ll be moving on
With every step that I take
I’m leaving behind this heartache
Leave to me the choices I should make
The right to learn from my own mistakes
Gimme a life that is mine to w own
Where delight and desire will be known
Don’t believe that I cannot be strong
I’ll be moving on
Forget the things you do
I’ll be moving on
Without the hold of you
I’ll be moving on
Baby it’s true yeah
I’ll forget all the things do
You know it’s true
No I don’t need this hold of you
Forget the things you do
I’ll be moving on
Without the hold of you
I’ll be moving on
Forget the things you do
I’ll be moving on
Without the hold of you

LES MEMES DISCOURS
©2023 E. Ghill / Manon Hardy​
“Tôt, tu sauras comment gagner
Ta vie, comme on te l’aura dictée”
J’entends tous les jours
Les mêmes discours
J’ai mieux à faire
Je veux prendre l’air
Mais avoue
Tu sais que tu vas revenir
Reste à ta place
Les envies passent
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to
Même si parfois ca te peine
On ne fait pas toujours ce que l’on aime
J’entends tous les jours
Les mêmes discours
J’ai mieux à faire
Je veux prendre l’air
Tu as tout
Pourquoi tu voudrais partir
Et perdre la face
Ça me dépasse
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to
Ecoute la dedans
Ca tape et ca craque souvent
Ca cogne insidieusement
Il est temps
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to
I don’t need nothing
But all I wanna do
Is keeping on chasing
The place I wanna go to

HERE TOGETHER
©2024 E. Ghill / Silvano Macaluso
We’ve been stuck In the depths of darkness trying to find a way
WAndering how on earth we’ll live another day,
Through the storm we won’t back down, no we know we won’t back down,
Whispering to the shadows to find OUR soulS unchained
We're standing here together,
We’re keeping up when all goes down,
Oh oh oh,
We're standing here together,
We find SALICE in the unknown
Oh oh oh.
Lalala…
From the ashes to the flame, like a phœnix in a flight,
Walking with a shaking leg, smiling under a new light
With everlasting dreams and a bunch of ev broken hopes,
We all have strength inside to climb the steepest slopes.
We're standing here together,
We’re keeping up when all goes down,
Oh oh oh,
We're standing here together,
We find solace in the unknown
Oh oh oh.
Lalala…
We're standing here together,
We’re keeping up when all goes down,
Oh oh oh,
We're standing here together,
We find solace in the unknown
Oh oh oh.
Lalala…
GROW
©2024 E. Ghill​
​​
I’ve seen fishes swimming through my flows
Leading me to rivers I didn’t want to know
I’ve seen daisies that I’ve helped to grow
And Every one was laced with hidden thorns below
Mmmmm
​
Life’s a garden where the roses can die slow
They can die slow, we can die slow
We still long for the bloom coming right after the blow
right after the blow comes the time to grow
​
I’ve walked on paths where the shadows loom
Chasing sunlight but it didn’t even break through
I’ve felt the rain wash me to the roots
Leaving me breathless with nothing but the truth
Mmmmm
​
Life’s a garden where the roses can die slow
They can die slow, we can die slow
We still long for the bloom coming right after the blow
right after the blow comes the time to grow
​
Maybe thorns make the flowers sweet
Maybe scars make the soul complete
I’ve sang with pain sweeping off my feet
Is it the struggle that’ll make the the outcome neat?
​
Life’s a garden where the roses can die slow
They can die slow, we can die slow
We still long for the bloom coming right after the blow
right after the blow, comes the time to grow
I’ve bled for beauty and I’ve hurt for the show
Hurting for the show is why I had to grow.
​
RELEASE ME
©2024 E. Ghill / Silvano Macaluso
​
Today feels like
It’s yesterday
Turned on the light
But you’re taking me back to the dark
I don’t know how
To live my life
When you’re here to trouble me
Give me a reason why
I’d keep up the fight
If you won’t let me still
Release me x2
Today feels like
A brand new day
Turned on the light
And I’m looking at you fading away
Maybe it’s time
To live my life
And face all that troubled me
You’re the reason why
I’ll keep up the fight
Even when you made me bleed
Release me x4
You walk into my path to haunt me
Or make me rue my every move
I don’t feel like you gave me
the honour to choose
Maybe it’s time
To live my life
And face all that troubled me
You’re the reason why
I’ll keep up the fight
Even when you made me bleed
Release me x6
Today feels like
A brand new day

L'ENVERS DU DECOR
©2024 E. Ghill / Amaury Gheysens / Christophe Jacobs
Le rideau tombe la lumière s'éteint
Les noires se plombent et les blanches prennent fin
Derrière les regards, les sourires monotones,
Il y a trop longtemps que nos cordes dissonent.
​
Les masques valsent les visages se dévoilent
Mes peurs et mes peines me font leur récital
Et si je m'essouffle, que je ne me tiens plus droit
Pourquoi rester là où je ne suis plus moi?
​
Refrain:
J'ai passé le blues
Dépassé le spleen
Cessé de tenter d'y croire encore
Loin de ce qui m'oppresse
De ceux qui me délaissent
J'ai filé de l'envers du décor
​
Si le néant trône sous les néons
Qu'il est difficile d'accorder nos violons
A moi de lever l'ancre et continuer mon chemin
Pour m'encrer sur de nouveaux refrains
​
Je change d'allure et de revers de manche
Bats la mesure à mon coeur qui s'épanche
Je tourne la page et je m'en vais là
Où je pourrai enfin regarder devant moi
​
Refrain
​
J'étais là le dos plaqué contre le sol
Face à ma vie qui dégringole
A quoi bon jouer se mentir et se taire
Quand l'on peut toujours changer d'air
​
