Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
I tried to hide but something broke
– Ndizamile ukufihla kodwa kukho into eyaphukileyo
I tried to sing, couldn’t hit the notes
– Ndizamile ukucula, andinakubetha amanqaku
The words kept catching in my throat
– La mazwi aqhubeka ebamba emqaleni wam
I tried to smile, I was suffocating though
– Ndazama ukumomotheka, kodwa ndandithukuthele
But here with you, I can finally breathe
– Kodwa apha kunye nawe, ekugqibeleni ndingaphefumla
You say you’re no good, but you’re good for me
– Uthi awulunganga, kodwa wena ulungile ngam
I’ve been hoping to change, now I know we can change
– I’ve changed, i’ve changed, i’ve changed
But I won’t if you’re not by my side
– Kodwa andizukuya ukuba awukho ecaleni kwam
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
– Kutheni ndiziva ndilungile ngalo lonke ixesha ndikuvumela ukuba ungene?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
– Kutheni ndivakalelwa kukuba ndinokuzityand ‘ igila kuwe?
All the secrets that keep me in chains and
– Zonke iimfihlo endizigcinayo kwimixokelelwane kwaye
All the damage that might make me dangerous
– Wonke umonakalo onokundenza ndibe yingozi
You got a dark side, guess you’re not the only one
– Ufumene icala elimnyama, ucinga ukuba ayinguwe wedwa
What if we both tried fighting what we’re running from?
– Kuthekani ukuba sobabini sizama ukulwa nento esibalekayo kuyo?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa ukuba asisoze sijongane nayo
What if we find a way to escape it?
– Kuthekani ukuba sifumana indlela yokuphuma kuyo?
We could be free
– Sinokukhululeka
Free
– Free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa ukuba asisoze sijongane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Vumela ixesha elidlulileyo libe lixesha elidlulileyo ‘until it’s unending
Ooh, time goes by, and I lose perspective
– Ixesha lihamba, kwaye ndilahlekelwa ngumbono
Yeah, hope only hurts, so I just forget it
– Ewe, ithemba libuhlungu kuphela, ngoko ndiyalibala nje
But you’re breaking through all the dark in me
– Kodwa udlula ubumnyama bonke kum
When I thought that nobody could
– Xa ndandicinga ukuba akukho mntu wayenokukwazi
And you’re waking up all these parts of me
– Kwaye uvuka zonke ezi ndawo zam
That I thought were buried for good
– Ukuba ndandicinga ukuba wangcwatyelwa okulungileyo
Between imposter and this monster
– Phakathi komkhohlisi kunye neli rhamncwa
I been lost inside my head
– Ndilahlekile entlokweni yam
Ain’t no choice when all these voices
– Akukho khetho xa onke la mazwi
Keep me pointing towards no end
– Ndigcine ndijonge ngaphandle kwesiphelo
It’s just easy when I’m with you
– Kulula nje xa ndikunye
No one sees me the way you do
– Akukho mntu undibonayo njengawe
I don’t trust it, but I want to
– Andiqinisekanga ngayo, kodwa ndifuna
I keep coming back to
– Ndihlala ndibuyela
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
– Kutheni ndiziva ndilungile ngalo lonke ixesha ndikuvumela ukuba ungene?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
– Kutheni ndivakalelwa kukuba ndinokuzityand ‘ igila kuwe?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa ukuba asisoze sijongane nayo
What if we find a way to escape it?
– Kuthekani ukuba sifumana indlela yokuphuma kuyo?
We could be free
– Sinokukhululeka
Free
– Free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa ukuba asisoze sijongane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Vumela ixesha elidlulileyo libe lixesha elidlulileyo ‘until it’s unending
Oh, so take my hand, it’s open
– Bamba isandla sam, uvule
Free, free
– Free, free
What if we heal what’s broken?
– Kuthekani ukuba siphilisa yintoni eyaphukileyo?
Free, free
– Free, free
I tried to hide, but something broke
– Ndizamile ukufihla, kodwa kukho into eyaphukileyo
I couldn’t sing, but you give me hope
– Andikwazi ukucula, kodwa ndinike ithemba
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa ukuba asisoze sijongane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Vumela ixesha elidlulileyo libe lixesha elidlulileyo ‘until it’s unending
