about

Swords takes us into a musical realm that distinctly sets itself apart from anything we have previously encountered from Reinel. It unveils a new facet of her, one that is more assertive and confident in her creative process. While this song remains deeply rooted in her artistic identity, we prefer to perceive it as a natural and bold evolution of her creativity. Reinel Bakole remains an artist in constant pursuit of new sounds, messages, and emotions to explore, and Swords serves as a vibrant testament to that.

lyrics

chants

Swords, sharper than your crimes
I swore about five times
I carry flowers, flowers on me
I'm running away to free myself up
My spirit elevates faster than the chants
I don't want to fear ya
I don’t want to fear ya
I whispered to the travelling bird
Huh, huh, huh

chants

Can’t you see me slowly disappearing?
Can’t you see me slowly disappearing ?

chants

Can’t you see me slowly disappearing?
Can’t you see me slowly disappearing?
We fly

We fly
We'll rise
We fly
Oh we rose
We fly

i want to bathe in a giant garden
((I don't want to be
human))
I want to burn myself out
From a dancing fire
We fly
We’ll rise up
We have seven reasons to why
(Holy,....)
We’ll rise up
Visions flow
Oh we rise
I don’t want hear it
We’ll fly
We’ll call about it
(Holy, holy)
