about
"A Hurum Gi N’anya" is a vibrantly soulful and introspective ode to self love that encourages us to reflect on what love really means.
lyrics
Hey don’t look away
Don’t look away
The more I see, the more I wanna see you
Never thought I’d find beauty in the mole
Above the right side of your face
These little scars are roadmaps
Cheatcodes
Only you and I know
The more I’m letting go, it’s you I wanna know
A hurum gi n’anya
Whenever I try to deny
A hurum gi n’anya
Whenever I try to deny
A hurum gi n’anya
I can see where you are
Wearing shame like it’s some kind of power
*didn’t think that anyone could see it through my eyes*
I know all about it
Everything you feel I’ve felt
And it’s ok to cry sometimes
Long as you know that you’re the one
There’s a ball of light
It’s simmering inside you
So hey, don’t look away
Don’t look away
Build your castles in a shadow
You might drown inside one day
Wish I could shield you forever
From harm
But whenever you my loving
You won’t have to go far
A hurum gi n’anya
I love you, I do
