about

This track is about a moment in your life when you see everyone around you building something. Deciding to live together, starting a family, moving abroad, buying a house. But where do I see myself? Do I want that at all? Or do I feel obligated to go along with it, just to not lose connection? If life were a machine, it needs care and maintenance. I need to find a way to keep it working for me.

lyrics

I had to stop the car
halfway home, turned off my phone
Everything is blurry now
the green lights I resist

How do I win this fight
How do I lift my head while life just goes on
Is there a turning point?
Is there a place to be and I just forgot to join?

We do need to come out even
And build up this machine
I do want things to matter
day by day, i’m learning how to drift
take my foot of the break
and let this machine just carry me

Expensive words
(Im still studying)
and i wonder
How do i stay young
And why is that something we want?

How do I win this fight?
How do I lift my head while life just goes on
Is there a turning point?
Is there a place to be and I just forgot to join?

We do need to come out even
And build up this machine
I do want things to matter
day by day, i’m learning how to drift
take my foot of the break
and let this machine just carry me

When we dance and tell
I don’t want it to stop
Let’s build up this machine
from bottom to top
machine
I do want things to matter

Day by day
im am learning,
im still learning but god damn
just give me a taste
to build up this machine

Wytiki Amsterdam, Netherlands

A based-in-Amsterdam singer / songwriter. For a while composing and making music

Wytiki shows something different; it's innovative, but if you listen closely, you can tell
she's listened to Robyn, Radiohead and Bon iver.
