“Yaläkta” by Black Lilys - A Song Feature


     Unintentionally, a number of recent posts have featured songs from siblings. Black Lilys are the sister-brother duo of Camille Faure and Robin Faure. They are from Lyon, France. The bio of Black Lilys tells the story of the two forming the band as a means of coping with the death of their mother.

     “Yaläkta” has a beauty and a darkness. The vocals are elegant and the quietly guitar is powerful. The percussion is intelligently varied, sometimes galloping and other times absent. While talking about their single, Black Lilys explained:
  “This song is also about accepting to read the tiny signs or messages in our everyday life. There are so many if we pay more attention to them and it gives such a magical meaning to our existence.”

Lyrics of “Yaläkta” by Black Lilys
The chessboard shook without a sound
Hands are numb, the spine crystallised
I feel defeated

The clothes are packed but they never left
Likely trapped in an endless night
Oh, this hole in my chest
Froze my tongue, froze my breath

You are in fire now
You are in fire now

Oh, I'll sit here and wait for a sign
Even just a sign of goodbye
Would I let you go?
Oh, I'm not really sure

You are in fire now
You are in fire now
You are in fire now
You are in fire now

My heart flickers again, It's happening now
I'm running out of time, tell me you're fine
Oh, this hole in my chest
Froze my tongue, froze my breath
