Melissa Etheridge ~ Ruins


Don't try to call There are some bridges that burn Beyond recognition beyond repair Don't say you've changed There are some forces that turn Beyond recollection beyond my stare When I feel the cold in the dark I know you're there Long ago I was a woman in pain A woman in need I ran to you Long ago I did not understand You were making me bleed I ran to you When I feel the cold in the dark I know what you do [CHORUS] I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins I know your heart has held its own fear It's perfectly clear What they did to you In my heart it's the screaming I hear I won't let them come near Since my love knew you When I feel the cold in the dark I remember you [CHORUS] Night after night I am carving it out I will carry it down to the waterside Night after night I am hearing the sound Of wings that come beating I will not hide When I feel the cold in the dark I will know why [CHORUS] But if I am to heal I must first learn to feel In the ruins I will crawl more free lyrics

Don't try to call
There are some bridges that burn
Beyond recognition beyond repair
Don't say you've changed
There are some forces that turn
Beyond recollection beyond my stare
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know you're there

Long ago I was a woman in pain
A woman in need
I ran to you
Long ago I did not understand
You were making me bleed
I ran to you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know what you do

[CHORUS]

I will crawl through my past
Over stones blood and glass
In the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense
In the ruins

I know your heart has held its own fear
It's perfectly clear
What they did to you
In my heart it's the screaming I hear
I won't let them come near
Since my love knew you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I remember you

[CHORUS]

Night after night
I am carving it out

I will carry it down to the waterside
Night after night
I am hearing the sound
Of wings that come beating
I will not hide
When I feel the cold in the dark
I will know why

[CHORUS]

But if I am to heal
I must first learn to feel
In the ruins
I will crawl

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
