EP
Might Not Wanna Wake Up - Digital
Out: 17 Nov 2023
The new EP, Might Not Wanna Wake Up, is built upon the ruins of the past versions of Lxandra, capturing an intimate portrait of unfiltered humanity and follows the five stages of grief. Lxandra explains the project is "a story on longing and letting go. A return to the ruins of my past and a last goodbye to the one I used to be." Over six songs that glide between darkness and light, the musician opens up about their experiences with pain and hardship–and what it means to make it to the other side of these challenging moments. Lxandra continues, "Struggling with grief in many ways made me want to put this EP together. I wanted to dive deep into it and create a fairytale world appreciating all the different stages." Made intimately in Finland's countryside or in a quiet home at the piano, the EP is an honest depiction of life's raw, messy moments that ultimately allow Lxandra to find strength and beauty in who they are today. Alongside the music, Lxandra finds their story best told through visuals, resulting in a forthcoming short film, out November 30th, to accompany the EP.

Blonde
Don’t look at me like that
don’t get me started
Been reminiscing
there was so much that was good
I still believe that it was right
but if I had to do it all again then I would
It came to an end there was no one to blame
But sometimes I wonder were we really trying
I will never feel the same way again
It’s true that
this kind of love hit me hard for the first time
Remember the nights
It was just you and I
Your body next to mine
When I think of you
the rush on my skin
tumbling in to when you were blonde
While it was hotter than
the sun could make it
And loving you
was the best I ever had
Your hair grew longer and the colour faded
We got tired out there in the dark
It came to an end there was no one to blame
Now I never wonder were we really trying
I will never feel the same way again
It’s true that
this kind of love hit me hard for the first time
Remember the nights
It was just you and I
Your body next to mine
When I think of you
the rush on my skin
tumbling in to when you were blonde
I saw sun and rainbows
I saw you framed in gold
I saw with tinted eyes when you were blonde
Remember the nights
It was just you and I
Your body next to mine
When I think of you
the rush on my skin
tumbling in to when you were blonde -
It's So Quiet
It's so quiet
And the world has gone to sleep
But I can still feel your
body beside me
Sweet lips and blue skies
Your warm hands on my thighs
You were my angel
and I was the love of your life
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
the future wasn't made for us
Now you're a thousand miles away
and the fires have been tamed,
but I still miss the way it tasted
I guess I enjoyed the pain
Am I still the same?
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
Now the world has gone to sleep
It's so quiet
I can hear my own heart beat
And the things that you said
that you knew would hurt me
Salty lips and white lies
Your cold hands on my thighs
You were my angel
and I was the love of your life
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
the future wasn't made for us
Now you're a thousand miles away
and the fires have been tamed,
but I still miss the way it tasted
I guess I enjoyed the pain
Am I still the same?
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
Now the world has gone to sleep
Ooh... Ooh...
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
the future wasn't made for us
Now you're a thousand miles away
and the fires have been tamed,
but I still miss the way it tasted
I guess I enjoyed the pain
But I try to change
I loved the distraction
but it led to destruction
Now the world has gone to sleep -
Etude
The house is falling a part
The door frames are already skewed
It’s the land, it's sliding
Where did it go?
The solid ground
the safe and sound
the love?
We’re together
alone
I am drowning in the feeling of not being enough
Where is my reward?
There is no reward
Then what am i doing?
What is it worth
if I can barely breathe?
Nothing
I try to be human
but everyone's staring
I probably have some leftovers on my face,
or on my shirt
Fuck
What is a woman?
Get out of my way -
FU4EVER
All of this time
I couldn’t see the exit signs
An eye for an eye
Well I guess it made me blind
You were always playing innocent
But you’ll never
get away with it
Blaming everybody else
for it all
and it makes me sick
See me from across the room
When you’re least
expecting it
I’m gonna haunt you like a curse
hold a grudge
that I take to my grave
I’m gonna make you pay
For the times that you erased my name
‘Til there was just a shadow in my place
You were always playing innocent
But you’ll never
get away with it
Blaming everybody else
for it all
and it makes me sick
All you did was feed me lies
I cross my heart the day I die
Fuck you forever
Fuck you forever
OOOh OOOh
OOOh
FUCK YOUUU!
All you did was feed me lies
I cross my heart the day I die
Yeah fuck you forever
Fuck you forever and ever
It took so long to realise
How you were wrong and I was right
You did the crime
now do the time
So fuck you forever
Fuck you forever and ever
And ever
Fuck you for ever
Fuck you forever and ever
All you did was feed me lies
I cross my heart the day I die
Yeah fuck you forever
Fuck you forever and ever
It took so long to realise
How you were wrong and I was right
You did the crime
now do the time
So fuck you forever
Fuck you forever and ever -
Sublime
There’s nothing I regret,
my tears have dried
But nothing I could forget
oh I've tried
Will loving always be a crime?
There’s nothing I miss more
than a light heart
Does healing truly
take a lifetime?
Will loving always be a crime?
That November was the hardest
thought I’d die
Was never enough,
but too much
and I
just wanted you to see me
Maybe, maybe in the next life
I was standing on the rocks
at the waterside
my dad called me
I had become the pain I tried to hide
I didn’t want to believe him
tho I knew he was right
So I took the last train
going nowhere
Breaking down piece by piece
to begin again
To become someone
Oh someone
someone new
Oh forgiving is a from of art
How could I ever not blame you or me
and become someone
Oh someone
someone new
I fell a apart
I went too far
I couldn’t carry it all
Couldn’t carry it all
I got lost
in your mind
but I made it
out
There’s nothing I regret
my tears have dried
Just wanna forget
god, I’ve tried
Will loving always be a crime?
There’s nothing I miss more
than a light heart
Guess healing truly
takes a lifetime
But will loving ever be sublime? -
F2F
Ice hot cement
and waves of cold heat
Under me when I
run in bare feet I can’t feel
like pain isn’t real
Sitting under that
old cherry tree
Dark buzzing cloud
that stings like a bee on the kill
Like shit doesn’t heal
I gotta
Forgive you to forget
I’ve been hurt for too long now
This life ain’t over yet
can’t keep hating myself
Millions of thoughts
Irrational fears
circle my head
I’m not seeing clearly again
Where have I been?
Hand on the mirror
I found my glass twin
Glad she can keep my
darkness hid under the skin
I’m wearing thin
I gotta
Forgive me to forget
I’ve been hurt for too long now
This life ain’t over yet
can’t keep hating myself
Been hangin on til now
But I gotta
I gotta get out
So I
Forgive you to forget
I’ve been hurt,
now I’m
I’m done
I leave it all behind
I can’t hold onto things
I never had
I’m older than I thought
I would be at 25
Look at me
Now the door is closed
And the blood is dried
and I gotta move on
So I
Forgive you to forget
I’ve been hurt for too long now
This life ain’t over yet
can’t keep hating myself
Been hangin on til now
But I gotta
I gotta get out
Forgive me to forget
I’ve been hurt,
now I’m
I’m done
I think a big big lesson for you in this life is to... To not only be you, but to... Show yourself.
