Lyrics

Written for my own releases and for collaborators — dark pop, R&B and cinematic ballad. Layered counter-vocals are marked where they sit against the lead.

The Lost Ballad

Original song. Bracketed lines are layered counter-vocals sung against the lead.

Verse
The tears of the most restless hearts cry out in vain Buried in shame
The night gives life, to the ballad, of endless pain Fooled into thinking they're to blame
Save me, they are calling
Longing
For something
The sleepless nights, days fight or flight, is there nothing left?
Chorus 1
Lost in the world ravaged by fate, and cast to the side tender hearts unprepared
Are the souls that are left, with nowhere to hide
Be~arers of light,half hearted words gi ve up the fight they never cared
and then lose what once had shone bright
Echoes resound,No one can see lost to the wind They've broken me
As they speak to the ghost within Leave Me
No, no, no
Verse 2
Save me, for I won't accept
Not yet,
This cruel fate
I refuse to, believe that this, is all life can give!
Chorus 2
Lost in the world, I can't give up but clinging to life They wont be forsaken
Is a soul born from all this unending strife
Bearers of light, I will become were half the fight All that they need
Begging for something to ignite
Echoes resound it's not over reach towards the sky You will be freed
Of a lone fighter's brave warcry, aah, aah
Now rise from the ash, those once forsaken
It's not over — repeated
Chorus 3
Lost in the world It's not the end, and once cast aside You are stronger than you know is a soul risen from, the grave she reside.
A bearer of light you will come out deciding to fight on the other side
To save what once had shone so bright
Echoes resound You deserve love, piercing their skin I'll be your guide
As she reaches for the child within
Lines in rose italic are layered counter-vocals, sung against the lead.

Hardcore

Original song. Lyrics and vocals by Danielle Oosterhof, topline co-written. Bridge written by Kat.

Chorus Intro
Baby why don't you get on my level
Everywhere I go, bodies drop to the floor
Look into my eyes, baby beg for more
This is what it's like when you go hardcore
Verse
Be careful what you say when you claim you can jerk me round
I'll show you what it's like to have your ego through the ground
It's about time that someone came to steal your crown
Yeah I'll shake your whole world up 'without a sound
Pre Chorus
Won't you step up to the plate
If you're the big bad, come and prove it bae
See I didn't come just to play
One more round with me is bound to set your head straight
Chorus
Baby why don't you get on my level
Everywhere I go, bodies drop to the floor
Look into my eyes, baby beg for more
This is what it's like when you go hardcore
Verse
Sorry this is not your game of hide and seek
See I am not your simple textbook kind of freak
Guess it's all talk when you claim you're everything
Behind all your little groupies you're simply weak
Pre chorus
Won't you step up to the plate
If you're the big bad, come and prove it bae
See I didn't just come to play
One more round with me is bound to set your head straight
Chorus
Baby why don't you get on my level
I'm the definition of invincible
Look into my eyes, beg for more
This is what it's like I'm the original
(hardcore)
Bridge
Written by Kat
Floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee
I'll wreck your KDA with my killing spree
'Cause you already know when you step to me
At the end of the match, all you'll hear is GG
Baby why don't you get on my level
Everywhere I go, bodies drop to the floor
Look into my eyes, baby beg for more
This is what it's like when you go hardcore
Chorus repeat higher

Let Go

Original project. Lyrics written first by Danielle Oosterhof; the topline was composed to them afterwards by a collaborator.

This does not follow a conventional song structure, and it is not meant to. It was written around ten original characters created by ten different people — each one's personality, history and unresolved thread folded into the same piece. The result moves between voices rather than between verse and chorus, and several passages are sung simultaneously rather than in sequence. Where two parts overlap, they are shown side by side below.

Hook
Let go (repeat)
Lies and memories of the past begin to end
This sinking feeling i couldn't mend
who are you, what are you to me?
Someone I've been neglecting to see
Yeah
Overlap
Come to me
Look over here right into my fleeting eyes
Do you hear the fluttering of my heart
Save me from this prison I'm trapped in
Hold me before I tear myself apart
I surrender my heart
You are my desire
Overlap
Who are you
Come with me
Hold me close
Set me free
Life without you in it has broken me
I wear this mask so the world wont see
The shattered remnants of you haunt me
How could one life change everything
Without you where would I be (rescue me)
This is not how life was supposed to be
I don't want to give up on everything
Save me from all of my misery
Take my hand and lets fly away from here
Overlap 1 + 2 · together
Don't be scared I will take care of you
I know everything that you have been through
Succumb to me
Just let me take your hand
Take my hand and lets fly away from here
Standing just my monochrome existence
The colors are forever passing
Eternally bound to the loneliness
With a taunting road that's never ending
I surrender my heart
Lead me to salvation
Overlap
Who am I
What's my purpose
Show me the path
To a bright future
Sung simultaneously
Part 1
I believe in your love
It's feeding my will trust you
When demons are reaching through
I believe in your soul
Shining like speckles of gold
And silver light
Part 2
Out on my own, and it's cold
I'm slashed and torn apart
My love for you is poison
With a have twisted heart
Even when the world seems to fade away
I know you'd never let these
Eyes cry now with you here with me
You wont let me let my life pass by
Overlap
Dont leave me
Promise that you
Wont give up on me
Overlap 2
I surrender my heart
Show me the meaning of happiness
Sung simultaneously
Part 1
Free as the wind
My spirit dances
Never will I run and hide
Accept me for the person I am
And see me for the warmth inside
Part 2
I'll keep this moment inside
Our hearts lighting up the night
The affection that I need to believe
Watch as our lives intertwine
Sung simultaneously
Part 1
Treasure the memories (repeated)
Part 2
Let go (repeated)

Set You Free

Original song. Lyrics, topline and vocals by Danielle Oosterhof.

Verse 1
Boy got me in the clouds tonight
Everything it feels alright
And I don't wanna be anywhere but
Under the moon with the stars in your eyes
And I just
Never knew that I'd meet a love of this size
And I just
Fall into you with forever's embrace
I'm the only one you'll ever want oh
Chorus
Oh oh eh
Baby you'll be mine and I will set you free yeah
Oh oh eh
Baby you'll be mine and I will set you free eh
Things that shackle your mind
Take up all of your time
I will take them
Keep you lose in the dark
Closing off your own heart
I I will
Verse 2
Hope you know I will give everything and I
Promise to love you with no rules and no strings oh
Never doubt
Never stray
Never bend
Wont run away
Chorus
Oh oh eh
Baby you'll be mine and I will set you free yeah
Oh oh eh
Baby you'll be mine and I will set you free eh
Things that shackle your mind
Take up all of your time
I will take them
Keep you lose in the dark
Closing off your own heart
I I will

Dream About Me

Original song — snippet. Overlap sections are stacked vocal layers.

Pre chorus - 2nd half
Not your little duo
You are such a tool bro
Here's a screenshot to go
Because we all know that your body count it reads 0
Chorus
Dream about me all the mother fuckin time
Everytime i glow up, comments spammed on my timeline
There isn't a word that you could ever say
As if i would need the likes of you to carry me
Overlap 1
All those plays
Wont get no praise
Boy you blind
This fire can't be confined
Overlap 2
All the fucking time
What?
Like really
