WAVES AND ILLUSION
Ko’si ewu loko Longe
Longe fun ara re ni Ewu
It’s at a start when I call on my soul,my flesh and my masculinity to take beyond the disappointment of my actions and bear the consequences of my reactions
For I’ve redeemed my sweet,thick voice for the echoes of the other world and silence my pains
Irin Ajo mi dabi Oko to ku so’ju Igbo
I’ve searched for a wanderer like me but I meet with only the lost ones
In this little surface of my healthy heart has been stabbed but not bleeding
I couldn’t comprehend if I’m the Sacrifice or the Savior
Bo pe titi
Akalolo a pe Baba
Sugbon Omije ti le di agbara ojo
Ki salubata mi si ti ba lo
Ki arami si ti tutu bi ewe oju omi
Should have been Hello from the other side cause I saw my hell burning so low through the lens of my blind eyes
Can I even cry?
Yes cause that’s the only myth to secure my Might.
