What if the dark in the mind overtakes, Caught in illusion but one that you made. Not knowing what is real and what is fake, Always connected to constant mistakes. And so then we get put in our place, Where everyone comes in and they take. And as a woman you try not to offend, And then you’re left behind feeling insane. I believe in my past, A need to give out, And if I say no, A villain to all. (I ask) A need, only one, To be left alone, And if I say no, A villain to all. What if the, in the night had to change. Pity that most of them go the wrong way. Knowing their actions, deciding their fate. All alone in the dark considered strange. Oh, and believe me you’ll never know, What it’s like walking outside on your own. Thousands of years waiting for us to show, Up until now they will never atone. I believe in my past, A need to give out, And if I say no, A villain to all. (I ask) A need, only one, To be left alone, And if I say no, A villain to all. They will push you and fight you till you say yes, And you’ll think that it’s your choice that you have made. I’ll be here overthinking all I have said, In the end it’s the plan that you always led. (ha) Oh, if only I figured out from the start, But what lesson would I have learned cutting off? So I lay in this bed that I made for us, Hoping one day i’ll know enough to impart. I believe in my past, A need to give out, And if I say no, A villain to all. (I ask) A need, only one, To be left alone, And if I say no, A villain to all. (ha)

Everybody out here confused and, Opening their eyes to the news that, Everything you grow up believing is not a fact, not a fact, not a fact. And all I got is time, got no money left. All the things I gave weren't enough I guess. It’s only then you see, looking back you don’t know what’s next, know what’s next, know what’s next. Oh oh. No confidence. No confidence. No confidence. No confidence. I was reaching out at the ceiling, And no one even knew what to do with me. Thinking you could call, I was gone, never picking up, picking up, picking up. And maybe this goes deeper than i’ll ever know, Back when I was younger I was growing cold. But how can you connect and evolve when they put you down, you down, you down, down. Oh oh. No confidence. (When you see your pride going down) No confidence. (And noone there lifting you up) No confidence. (I never see myself going anywhere) No confidence. (but knowing me, would I give up?) I try, I try to fight the mind alone, I know it’s hard to keep myself afloat. I try, I try to find a better way to be more kinder to myself, I know. I try, I try, you know I try to be more pleasing for your picture perfect life. I try, I try to leave all meaning of your words under the line of consequence. No confidence. (When you see your pride going down) No confidence. (And noone there lifting you up) No confidence. (I never see myself going anywhere) No confidence. (but knowing me, would I give up?) No confidence. (When you see your pride going down) No confidence. (And noone there lifting you up) No confidence. (I never see myself going anywhere) No confidence. (but knowing me, would I give)

Is this just like my mother? Abandon everything I had. A story lasting centuries, But I never had a chance. I can't make you love me the way that I need. I can't make you love me for all of my dreams. I can't make you love me the way that you need. I can't make you love me for you to be free. (For you to be.) Am I not in your future? (oh forever) The cards are telling me you're scared. Connection getting looser. (oh forever) Pain is the lesson we all share. I can't make you love me the way that I need. I can't make you love me for all of my dreams. I can't make you love me the way that you need. I can't make you love me for you to be free. (For you to be.) I can't make you love me the way that I need. I can't make you love me for all of my dreams. I can't make you love me the way that you need. I can't make you love me for you to be free. (For you to be.)

Home Is You 03:09
Lost in this moment we can't decide Who's more hurt It's our last night Tearing away our lines attached Call me in the night I'll be back soon cause... When I am with you I see you so clearly Our minds in each place but our heart so close really A distance away I'll call you tomorrow Home is you Home is you Fearing the night my wires are crossed You forgot who I was For only a second and Time will go fast, will go slow A thread through our lives But that never scared me cause... When I am with you I see you so clearly Our minds in each place but Our heart so close really A distance away I'll call you tomorrow Home is you Home is you We can make it Through the distance Just hold on to Be together again We can make it Through the distance Just hold on to Be together again We can make it Through the distance Just hold on to Be together again We can make it Through the distance Just hold on to Be together again We can make it When I am with you I see you so clearly Our minds in each place but Our heart so close really A distance away I'll call you tomorrow Home is you Home is you

about

Malena Zavala London, UK

Malena Zavala's haunting voice is hypnotic. Aliso, her debut album, is entirely written, played and produced by Malena. Its ten tracks owe a debt to Beach House, Brian Eno, Tame Impala, Cuban folk musician Silvio Rodriguez and an addictive Argentinean tea called Yerba Mate that fuelled its recording. Its songs are as much about capturing emotions as they are about telling tales. ... more
