Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I think too much of all that’s gone
– Ngicabanga ukuthi okuningi kakhulu kwalokho sekuphelile
Of how it was before my thoughts
– Ukuthi kwakunjani ngaphambi kwemicabango yami
Obsessed with choices made for sure
– Ngokuqinisekile uthambekele ekukhetheni
In ignorance of history
– Ukungazi umlando
And consequence as more and more
– Futhi umphumela njengoba more and more
I misremember hopelessly
– Ngikhumbula ngokungenathemba
The way love turned out every time
– Indlela uthando olwaluphuma ngayo ngaso sonke isikhathi
Was never quite enough
– Kwakunganele neze
I lose all my life like this
– Ngilahlekelwa ukuphila kwami konke kanjena
Reflecting time and memories
– Ukubonisa isikhathi nezinkumbulo
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Futhi konke ngenxa yokwesaba lokho engizokuthola
If I just stop and empty out my mind
– Uma ngivele ngiyeke futhi ngikhiphe ingqondo yami
Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
– Zonke izipoki nawo wonke amaphupho
All I hold to in belief
– Konke engikukholelwayo
That all I ever am
– Yilokho kuphela engake ngaba yikho
Is somehow never quite all I am now
– Ngandlela thile angisoze ngaba yikho konke engiyikho manje
I think too much of all to come
– Ngicabanga ukuthi kuningi kakhulu engingakuza
Of how it will be after I give up
– Ukuthi kuyoba njani ngemva kokuba sengiyekile
My weary dance with age
– Umdanso wami okhathele ngokuguga
And resignation moves me slow
– Futhi ukuyeka umsebenzi kungishukumisela ukuba ngihambe kancane
Toward a dark and empty stage
– Ukuya esigabeni esimnyama nesingenalutho
Where I can sing the world I know
– Lapho ngingacula khona izwe engilaziyo
The way love turns out every time
– Indlela uthando oluvela ngayo ngaso sonke isikhathi
Will never be enough
– Ngeke kwanele
I waste all my world like this
– Ngichitha umhlaba wami wonke kanjena
Intending time and memories
– Isikhathi esihlosiwe nezinkumbulo
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Futhi konke ngenxa yokwesaba lokho engizokuthola
If I just stop and empty out my mind
– Uma ngivele ngiyeke futhi ngikhiphe ingqondo yami
Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
– Zonke izipoki nawo wonke amaphupho
All I hold to in belief
– Konke engikukholelwayo
That all I ever am
– Yilokho kuphela engake ngaba yikho
Is somehow never quite all I am now
– Ngandlela thile angisoze ngaba yikho konke engiyikho manje
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Futhi konke ngenxa yokwesaba lokho engizokuthola
If I just stop
– Uma ngivele ngiyeke
