Diggin' Deeper 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Under the sandbox twenty years ago I'm still buried there and this dumpster's cold under walls, the walls of fear I just wanna show I wanna come clean, to reveal the underneath It’s so heavy, pouring through my head carving my way out, plan two steps ahead raising flags, igniting fire I just wanna show I wanna come clean to reveal the underneath I'm diggin deeper for pieces of myself down deeper there’s no one else I’m diggin deeper for pieces of myself This time don’t hide All you need’s inside in the pages of my school books, pages of my doubt left somewhere in the lines, in the spaces looking out just peering around afraid what was lost will never be found somebody please help me, this is not my reality somebody please save me, this is not me I'm diggin deeper for pieces of myself down deeper there’s no one else I’m diggin deeper for pieces of myself This time don’t hide All you need’s inside All I once tried so hard to confine now I'm breaking the locks, I don't fit in this box and no, I don't like this view of conformity and outdated rules I'm diggin deeper for pieces of myself down deeper there’s no one else I’m diggin deeper for pieces of myself This time don’t hide All you need’s inside

Are you a fool Look I’m sorry what’s been done to you You’re not so cool But I wanna say out loud that I miss you I'll be the one to fall apart, So watch me I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies Those nasty words you never meant It’s not your fault you couldn’t help it What’s done is done I’d never wish it on anyone I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies Everything was different then What would happen if we pretended to start again, to start again I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies I’m gonna Break your Heart when you wake up & realize All the pain you caused from all the hurt and all the lies Are you there, if I ask you will you answer me Are you prepared to share To tell me your words truthfully I’ll be the one to fall apart I’ll be the one to break your heart

The runway was slick but I had on my boots I ran, I ran, I ran until the sound went mute reached up with both hands to grab the ring reached out to the void of possibility I am a superhero at your window when you say my name I am a superhero at your window when you play my game so much room out here and I'm so free I can't come in that compartment, it would suffocate me out here nipples shriveled freezing cold out here cruising and it's taking a toll my rocket is stashed on the underside you've got one ride plan of attack case you wanna compete I'll blast your ass right out of that seat I am a superhero at your window when you say my name I am a superhero at your window if you play my game I am a superhero at your window when you say my name I am a superhero at your window if you play my game

paint me a picture from far away of places that don't exist today panoramic view is what i'm asking for palette of colors never seen before how do I get there from here (take me there) How do I get there from here (we’re there) A sight, a word, a sound… a picture A word, a sight, a sound surrounds.. sparks fly igniting the skyline pour the flames of a kingdom (sparks ignite the skyline… blazing) yet to be named yet to be named (A Kingdom) A word a sight a sound, a word a sight a sound, a word a sight a sound surrounds… A word a sight a sound, a word a sight a sound, a word a sight a sound surrounds… paint me a picture from far away of places that don't exist today

Reaching out into the dark Speaking out through my Heart reaching out into the night I find you reaching out into the dark, your silhouette appears and it’s real… and it’s real… Scan across the open field and you're falling out of all this emptiness, waiting all these years and you’re real…. so real and you’re real… so real... where's it fall on the grid and when will we be done with this how many moves away are you connect the dots and follow through Scan across the open field, you're falling out of all this emptiness, waiting all these years crossing the reflective sea, your eyes surrounding me speaking out through my heart, a haunting melody and you’re real… so real… and you’re real… so real.... Reaching out into the dark Speaking out through my Heart reachin out into the dark, your silhouette appears how many moves away are you

Sometimes I wonder where I come from / where I go in my dreams And I wonder why / all the shadows keep following me Who’s this child I seem to be / can anyone see me The mirror is telling me / I know who I’m supposed to be I know me / I know me

Scraps 01:30

scraps of dreams, visions of seams, washed out clean scrape the dirt and dust of mistrust crashing the rocks, splashing the shore with brilliance and resilience of hope and promise, of faith and honesty the winds of ease, breaking the patterns that cause disease we can relieve each other, believe in one another Believe in one another

Wish Mantra 01:42
lyrics

come up on the shore, give a little more all you're wishing for is knocking on your door nothin stays the same, live it every day I begin to understand, hearing our commands shaking out the pain, the undeserving blame running out of time, I’m running for my life ask and you receive, it’s all bestowed on me I’m livin’ out my dreams as my Reality

about

a unique splattering of pop/rock, electronica and dance, this collection depicts a journey of blind faith through time. a true blend of spontaneity and craft, and a tactful balance between pop and the avant-garde.

Powerful emotion comes through clearly in Elena’s lyrics and delivery. An Adrenaline Junkie by nature, combined with the belief that music has the ability to heal and transform, Elena tackles her craft with maturity and wisdom, while humbly learning every day. Her blend of musicality, physicality, and spirituality is difficult to match.
This album began as a soundtrack to a one-woman show, and developed into a full pop album, b-sides included!
