(in motion) 02:58
it's paper thin a dry shell with motion within it's either emotions or sports emotions a fragile shield which flakes to tear, which to conceal it's either emotions or sports emotions in motion emotions in motion sometimes i can't decide to feel it all or hide behind tense blinders from airspeed run me over, i concede i am just as high as the mountain i have climbed when the cold wind whine i can think of it for a while in motion emotions in motion emotions

satellites 03:54
give me something to be afraid of when we're driving into the night luminous spots from such great heights a fire across the sky i heard about it a place that beats this is everything alright, i stay by your side when we step out into the light through our eyelids all we can see is shadows of death signs what to do about it artificial breathing what's it like from such great heights we're satellites send us the fire i heard about it a place that beats this have we lost it, the thin connection vision is more cloudy now press pause and please rewind the tape i think we're speeding out of control what to do about it it can't be replaced what's it like from such great heights we're satellites synthetical power what's it like from such great heights we're satellites send us the fire what to do about it it can't be replaced what to do about it artificial breathing

reverie 04:21
they say time is all i got to lose anyways it is what it is, i'm not in charge anymore they say remains is all i got to save these days i pick the pieces of whatever it was we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie they will always see us building castles in the air we try our best to make it all right again it is what it is, trial and error on repeat it's part of the game that nothing ever stays the same we pick the pieces of whatever it was we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time we build it up and we break it all the time don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie they will always see us building castles in the air they will always see us building castles in the air they will always see us don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie don't stop the reverie

can’t stand to be alone used to have you on the phone whenever i need to do you feel the same that we left it this way isn’t killing softly to breath love love to breath love love save you all the sounds and troubles on my mind you never deserved it when you’ve steped out with your shit something else is missed now i know what it’s like to breath love love to breath love love wrote you that pm at 4 am guess i never should have if i knew the outcome wrote you that pm at 4 am guess i never should have if i knew the outcome to breath love love to breath love love wrote you that pm at 4 am guess i never should have if i knew the outcome wrote you that pm at 4 am guess i never should have if i knew the outcome

to lay here and stare at the ceiling is hard enough to breath isn't even on my mind it doesn't show on the outside like i'm not allowed to feel but i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright for once i tried to go unscripted ended up bedbound for days it's hard quiting the pills i guess i'm just damaged goods like all the rest but i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright the knot around the lungs is tighter all that comes out is wheezing tunnel vision, blinking lights all the talk is just noise but i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright

mud 05:25
i will break behind this door ‘cause i can't do this anymore a puddle of scruples on the floor wipe me up, i'm feeling sore my mind is full of mud my mind is full of dirt my mind is full of mud my mind is full of hurt you keep leaving the door ajar keeps me on hold, not too far leave me alone, i'll scatter my mind please be my blancet and calm me down my mind is full of mud my mind is full of dirt my mind is full of mud my mind is full of hurt
7.
i was a fool waiting for you having dreams one can't forget like a storm you blew through my house left doors and windows wide open what you took i can't forget to remind me of every damn day you won't show up what you gave i can't pretend not to care about every damn day when the lightning strikes us i can feel you i can see you when the lightning strikes us i can feel you i can see you when the lightning strikes us i can feel you i can see you when the lightning strikes us i can feel you i can see you i can see you i can see you i can see you i can see you i can see you i can see you

serpentines 04:57
darkness covers up the whole frame a light is pushing in between high banks the car sway serpentines from above i always wanted to stay but i always kind of left time will scare you, i assure you this time will scare you, i assure you this a light is pushing in between high banks the car sway serpentines from above i want to stay right here but i think we're fading slow time will scare you, i assure you this time will scare you, i assure you this i've been dreaming of serpentines from above i might not ever want to arrive i've been dreaming of serpentines in the electric glow of the lamppost warm tones in the cold the sharp shadow across your face you've never been more clear when you said to me i want to stay right here time will scare you, i assure you this i want to stay right here but we're fading slow time will scare you, i assure you this i want to stay right here but we're fading slow i've been dreaming of serpentines from above i might not ever want to arrive i've been dreaming of serpentines i've been dreaming of serpentines we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow we're fading slow

ambivalence 03:40
you try too much and i cut you off i distance and let you sink like a rock with your smothering touch i'm in this cold harsh place you can not reach you turn away i want you ambivalence i feel bad for making you feel sad grab my hand grab anything you can make myself tall to pull you back again this ambivalence is running wild got to be by yourself but i'm tied up to stay by got to learn to lean our selves on these unconditional ways electric mains and lines of thoughts for miles sometimes we don't even know who the thought belongs to it's just static noise i can't disconnect your words from my own i can't catch sight of what's left when you're gone got to be by yourself but i'm tied up to stay by got to learn to lean our selves on these unconditional ways got to be by yourself but i'm tied up to stay by got to learn to lean our selves on these unconditional ways these unconditional ways these unconditional ways these unconditional ways

the sand 04:26
we better watch we better we better watch cause it's leaving soon we better watch we better look what the wind just did might delete this later a bad dream teach us to forget before it even happens heads in the sand blindfold us bury deeper heads in the sand blindfold us bury deeper look at what look at what the wind just did how the water's rising no longer, no a clear horizon through the pitch black skies a bad dream teach us to forget before it even happens heads in the sand blindfold us bury deeper heads in the sand blindfold us bury deeper teach us to forget before it happens before it happens teach us to forget before it happens before it happens

about

Mi about the album:
"Reverie is an album about dreaming as a constant engine for hope and development in the pursuit of the future, regarding the big and small questions. Mi looks out into space and turns the perspective towards humanity and the climate. Interspersed with stories of breakup and fatigue."

about

Mi von Ahn Sweden

Swedish singer/songwriter Mi von Ahn back with new second album “reverie” March 25, 2022.

Mi von Ahn creates suggestive and ambient indiepop with a barren and beautiful melancholy.
The lyrics are permeated by the down-to-earth seriousness that characterizes her person.

Clash Magazine describes the music as "Driving, inspiring, and moving ..." and draws parallels to The War On Drugs.
