Track #1 Pandora
Songwriting / Lyrics & Music by: Karla Santa Anna
And it feels like the end of the world,
though you know, you really really know it's not true.
We’ve been tricked
How many times?
It’s been happening already a lot for a while.
It’s time to run and you know where,
it’s not outside this time, no,
that’s not, that’s not the place.
Go take a deep breath
'cause you will face the darkest of the darkest
and who knows how much will it take.
Open your Pandora.
Come back stronger.
You know the way.
(x2)
Swallow yourself,
crawl through your branches,
through your webs,
don’t ask and go as deep as you can.
Hey! Trust your touch
while you can’t see.
Mr. Time will open you the door
whenever you’re ready.
There you will find the tiniest light,
you’ll guide yourself back
and feel “The end of the world”
was such a scam.
Feel that Big Bang.
Emerge to blue.
Walk to your massive orange
that is out there waiting just for you.
Open your Pandora.
Come back stronger.
You know the way.
Go on and ‘llora’.
Create a whole river.
Come back stronger
and surf your own waves.
Track #2 Lonely Bubble
Songwriting / Lyrics & Music by: Karla Santa Anna
Stretch.
I need some space.
You have your space.
I have my space.
Hey, hey, hey!
You're too close,
don't stare at me,
there's another sidewalk over there,
move back to your own space.
So, go and move!
You move your legs,
you cross the street
and don't come back
'cause this is my my my own space.
Don't ever come back.
Please don't return,
doing a weird zig-zag
a bad moonwalk,
a bad slow-mo reverse.
Hey! Don't you dare!
Hey! Don't you see?
'cause if you're in my space
Yeah! Well my bubble breaks!
It's hard to clean
'cause it's so huge
and I'm sure it'll be a mess
so much dark soap everywhere.
Reverse mo-slow bad a,
walkmoon bad a,
zag-zig weird a doing
return don't please
back come ever don't!
Stretch!
Track #3 Candy
Songwriting / Lyrics & Music by: Karla Santa Anna
May you have a beautiful life.
May you dare to challenge the horn.
Spicy and glam will come after you
in an 18 leather-seat limo.
You'll seem fine and drink the champaign.
White magic will spin in your nose.
Yellow glass will filter your sun.
Goosebumps everywhere, it's hard to say,
and you'll wonder if this is for real,
and you'll wonder if these are fake notes.
All of a sudden you're so artificial.
All you are and always were is light.
Goosebumps everywhere, it's hard to say.
Silver trays reflect your smile,
though when you look at yourself in the eye
there's no chance you can lie.
Cotton candy melts so quick.
Everybody wants to crash.
Nonsense wins the war against the moon.
Walk away.
Nonsense wins the war against the moon.
Walk away.
Nonsense wins the war against the moon.
Walk away.
Nonsense wins the war against the moon.
Walk away.
Walk away.
Walk away.
Walk away.
Track #4 Storm
Inspired by the free verse poem: Chapter 22 by: Eduardo Cisneros Broissin
Songwriting / Lyrics adapted by: Karla Santa Anna / Music by: Karla Santa Anna
The storm is here
along somewhere in the sea,
the sky is falling apart,
breathe just breathe.
Are you gonna light my life again?
Seed love and passion in my heart,
you are the one that I want.
🎵
The storm is here
along somewhere in the sea,
the sky is falling apart,
breathe just breathe.
Are you gonna light my life again?
Are you gonna light my life again?
Seed love and passion in my heart,
you are the one that I want.
Fight, just fight.
We are gonna save each other.
We are gonna melt everything
keeping our own path.
Carry on, just carry on.
Breathe, just breathe.
Breathe, just breathe.
Fight, just fight.
Live, just live.
Carry on, carry on.
Breathe, just breathe.
Just breathe.
Fight, just fight.
Live, just live.

Track #5 The suit
Songwriting / Lyrics & Music by: Karla Santa Anna
Role models.
Old mold on rusty molds.
Cookie-cutter beauty.
Perfect light in the hall.
Immaculate suits.
Rehearsed smiles.
Sad mirrors.
Oh, what a waste of time.
To yourself, be kind.
Run.
🎵
There are no special days.
Just watch: The suit.
Those fake inspirations that push you to start.
Beware, the wind is strong and time is gold,
with luck… with luck you won’t notice.
Don’t fail in this,
this, this is yours.
Stay true to yourself.
There are no special days.
Just watch: The suit.
Those fake inspirations that push you to start.
Beware, the wind is strong and time is gold.
With luck you won’t notice.
Don’t fail in this.
This, this, this is yours.
Be kind to yourself.
There are no special days.
Just watch: The suit.
Those fake inspirations that push you to start.
Beware, the wind is strong and time is gold.
With luck you won’t notice.
Don’t fail in this.
This, this is yours.
Stay true to yourself.
Be gold, be bold,
become a bee
Be-Be-Bop-a-Lula
Baaaam-booooo!
Don’t fail in this.
This, this is yours.
Stay true to yourself.
Be gold, be bold,
become a bee
Be-Be-Bop-a-Lula
Baaaam-booooo!
Track #6 Lengua Materna
Songwriting / Lyrics by: Karla Santa Anna / Back Track by: Reed Thomas Lawrence
A...E...I...O...U
U...O...I...E...A
A E I O U
I used to say
but I cut my tongue one day,
I woke up talking "blue-red"
with more R's
and less "erre",
it was not me,
my mother tongue was left behind,
I had to bury it for a while,
erase it from my mind.
From my mind...
Erase it from my mind.
Cempasúchil flowers
and mexican candles, please...
for my tongue that
it seems so dead now.
Where have you gone?
I can't talk
or roll you anymore.
You had to sleep for a while.
I want you to come back
and from the ashes, rise.
Lengua materna get out
and speak out.
A E I O U U...
U O I E A A...
Aquí estoy
a ningún pinche lado voy.
Sé que hiberno
pero vuelvo, soy un ente vivo.
Como alfombra roja desenrollo
y me estiro, digo "erre con erre"
enterrarme no; soy lengua fuerte.
U O I E A A...
A E I O U U...
UUUUUUUUUUU....
U O I E A ...
A E I O U U...
U O I E A ...
A E I O U U...
U O I E A ...
A E I O U U...
U O I E A ...
A E I O U U...
