Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– Ingabe akukho lutho ngaphandle kokubanda enkabeni yomgodi omnyama?
Ooh, bitch
– Ooh, indlovukazi
The signal fire’s gonna burn out
– Umlilo wesiginali uzoshisa
Through the sirens and the flares
– Ngokusebenzisa ama-siren nama-flare
I was swallowed by the storm clouds
– Ngagwinywa amafu esiphepho
Hail stones on a glass house
– Amatshe esichotho endlini yengilazi
There were diamonds in the air
– Kwakunamadayimane emoyeni
And the oxygen left my chest
– Futhi umoya mpilo wangishiya esifubeni
Lost souls trapped beneath this ceiling
– Imiphefumulo elahlekile evalelwe ngaphansi kwalolu phahla
It’s figure eight ’til the ghosts have been laid to rest
– Kuyisibalo sesishiyagalombili ‘ kuze kube yilapho izipoki sezibekiwe
Pull it tight, try to stop this bleeding
– Donsa it tight, zama ukumisa lokhu ukopha
Stampede as the horrors run through my head
– Ukugxuma njengoba izinto ezesabekayo zidlula ekhanda lami
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– Ukufa kwagqolozela futhi ngafa izikhathi eziyinkulungwane
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– Amaphupho amabi ashiya isiyaluyalu engqondweni yami
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ingabe namuhla ayinalutho kangako ukube bekungekho kusasa?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Phakathi kwamabili, sanqamula izintambo zikagesi
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Akukho ukukhanya ngaphandle komlilo emehlweni ami
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ingabe namuhla ayinalutho kangako ukube bekungekho kusasa?
Ooh, bitch
– Ooh, indlovukazi
Sick of living with the pain now
– Ngikhathele ukuphila nobuhlungu manje
Someone take me for repair
– Othile uyangithatha ukuze ngilungise
There’s a bitter taste in my mouth
– Kunambitheka okubabayo emlonyeni wami
In the silence, there was ill health
– Ngokuthula, kwaba nempilo ebuthaka
Maybe life just isn’t fair
– Mhlawumbe ukuphila akulungile
Maybe I’m just fucking self-obsessed
– Mhlawumbe ngizithanda kakhulu
Don’t say I gotta chase this feeling
– Ungasho ukuthi kumelwe ngijahe lo muzwa
Bullets hit, but it’s only gonna dent the vest
– Izinhlamvu ziyashaywa, kodwa kuzongena kuphela ivesti
Wartime with the whole world sleeping
– Isikhathi sempi nezwe lonke lilele
Bombs drop on the prison hope built instead
– Ibhomu liwela ejele elakhiwe nguhope esikhundleni salokho
Struck down
– Ukushaywa phansi
Souls carried through an unknown universe
– Imiphefumulo ethwalwa endaweni yonke engaziwa
No service for the faithless, everything turns to dust
– Ayikho inkonzo yabangathembekile, konke kuphenduka uthuli
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– Ukufa kwagqolozela futhi ngafa izikhathi eziyinkulungwane
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– Amaphupho amabi ashiya isiyaluyalu engqondweni yami
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ingabe namuhla ayinalutho kangako ukube bekungekho kusasa?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Phakathi kwamabili, sanqamula izintambo zikagesi
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Akukho ukukhanya ngaphandle komlilo emehlweni ami
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ingabe namuhla ayinalutho kangako ukube bekungekho kusasa?
There were diamonds in the air
– Kwakunamadayimane emoyeni
And the oxygen left my chest
– Futhi umoya mpilo wangishiya esifubeni
Is there anybody there?
– Ingabe ukhona lapho?
I pray that I’ll be blessed
– Ngithandazela ukuba ngibusiswe
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Izulu Emhlabeni, Unkulunkulu uyazi kuphela uma silapha emoyeni
Chapter and verse, there’s nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Isahluko nevesi, ayikho indawo ongaya kuyo lapho isibhakabhaka siwumkhawulo
Reign, reign
– Ukubusa, ukubusa
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– Ingabe akukho lutho ngaphandle kokubanda enkabeni yomgodi omnyama?
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Izulu Emhlabeni, Unkulunkulu uyazi kuphela uma silapha emoyeni
Chapter and verse, nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Isahluko nevesi, akukho ndawo ongaya kuyo lapho isibhakabhaka siwumkhawulo
