Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Nothing but the truth now
– Akukho nto ngaphandle kwenyaniso ngoku
Nothing but the proof of what I am
– Akukho nto ngaphandle kobungqina bento endiyiyo
The worst of what I came from, patterns I’m ashamed of
– The worst of things i’m from-kwasizabantu mission
Things that even I don’t understand
– Izinto endingaziqondiyo
I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it
– Ndizamile ukuyilungisa, ndizamile ukuyilungisa
My head was twisted, my heart divided
– Intloko yam yayijijekile, intliziyo yam yahlulwe
My lies all collided
– Ubuxoki bam bonke bangqubana
I don’t know why I didn’t trust you to be on my side
– Andazi ukuba kutheni ndingakuthembanga ukuba ungakwicala lam
I broke into a million pieces, and I can’t go back
– Ndaqhekeza isigidi, kwaye andinakubuya
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa ngoku ndibona bonke ubuhle kwiglasi eyaphukileyo
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Iziva ziyinxalenye yam, ubumnyama kunye nemvisiswano
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Ilizwi lam ngaphandle kobuxoki, yile nto ivakala ngathi
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
– Kwakutheni ukuze ndigubungele imibala ebekwe ngaphakathi entlokweni yam?
I should’ve let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Ndimele ndivumele izipikili zidibane nokukhanya
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ndibonise ukuba yintoni ngaphantsi, ndiza kufumana imvisiswano yakho
The song we couldn’t write, this is what it sounds like
– Ingoma esingenakuyibhala, yile nto ivakala ngathi
We’re shattering the silence, we’re rising defiant
– Siyathula, siyaphula, siyaphula
Shouting in the quiet, you’re not alone
– Zodwa wabantu gets alone, you’re not alone
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
– Saziphulaphula iidemon, sazivumela ukuba zingene phakathi kwethu
But none of us are out here on our own
– Kodwa akukho namnye kuthi ngaphandle kwethu
So, we were cowards, so, we were liars
– We were lying, we were lying, lying, lying, lying, lying
So, we’re not heroes, we’re still survivors
– Andikho a foreigner, thina amele isitshayina
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I’m tired
– Dreamers, lying, no lying, i’m exhausted
But dive in the fire and I’ll be right here by your side
– Kodwa phuma emlilweni kwaye ndiza kuba lapha ecaleni kwakho
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
– Saqhekeka kwisigidi, kwaye asikwazi ukubuyela
But now we’re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa ngoku sibona yonke ubuhle kwiglasi eyaphukileyo
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Iziva ziyinxalenye yam, ubumnyama kunye nemvisiswano
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Ilizwi lam ngaphandle kobuxoki, yile nto ivakala ngathi
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
– Kwakutheni ukuze sigqume imibala ebekwe ngaphakathi entlokweni yethu?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Vuka kwaye uvumele imiphetho ejijekileyo ihlangabezane nokukhanya endaweni yoko
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ndibonise ukuba yintoni ngaphantsi, ndiza kufumana imvisiswano yakho
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Ungesabi kwaye ungachazwanga, yile nto ivakala ngayo
This is what it sounds like
– Oku kuvakala ngathi
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This is what it sounds like
– Oku kuvakala ngathi
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This is what it sounds like
– Oku kuvakala ngathi
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, this is what it—, this is what it—
– Owu, yile nto -, yile nto—
This is what it sounds like
– Oku kuvakala ngathi
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
– Saqhekeka kwisigidi, kwaye asikwazi ukubuyela
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa ngoku ndibona bonke ubuhle kwiglasi eyaphukileyo
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Iziva ziyinxalenye yam, ubumnyama kunye nemvisiswano
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Ilizwi lam ngaphandle kobuxoki, yile nto ivakala ngathi
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
– Kwakutheni ukuze sigqume imibala ebekwe ngaphakathi entlokweni yethu?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Vuka kwaye uvumele imiphetho ejijekileyo ihlangabezane nokukhanya endaweni yoko
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ndibonise ukuba yintoni ngaphantsi, ndiza kufumana imvisiswano yakho
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Ungesabi kwaye ungachazwanga, yile nto ivakala ngayo
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Ilizwi lam ngaphandle kobuxoki, yile nto ivakala ngathi
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Ungesabi kwaye ungachazwanga, yile nto ivakala ngayo
Truth after all this time, our voices all combined
– Inyaniso emva kwalo lonke eli xesha, amazwi ethu onke adityanisiwe
When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like
– Xa ubumnyama budibana nokukhanya, yile nto ivakala ngayo
