about

Walls was written and produced by me, in my bedroom, in the spring of 2020. Like so many of us these past few months have been frightening, revealing, unnerving, and ultimately inspiring. Through all of this there has been a lot of time for stillness and reflection, and this song is a small part of what came up for me.

lyrics

Walls
by Zawadi Noël

Lyrics

(I )m safer than I’ve ever been
(Am) grateful about it
(Not) worried if I stay inside
(Okay)
(I)m better if I’m on my own
(Am) in need of nothing more
(Not) lonely, not even a little
(Okay)

I know every window
and I closed the doors
so no wrong can happen
behind these walls.
I’ll give you no chance to take
so that I’m sure
that no wrong can happen
behind these walls

Stay
Stay behind
Behind these walls

(I)m not giving in, giving up
(Am) satisfied, I have enough
(Not) changing my mind
Okay
(I)m set in my own ways
(Am) safer if I stay
(Not) lying, not even a little
(Okay)

I promise I’m not bitter
It’s just that know
That no love will reach me
Behind these walls
In hiding I can’t hurt
So self-assured that no harm can happen
Behind these walls

(I)m afraid to go out of my comfort
(Don’t) even know where to start
(Need) help from someone and anyone
(Anyone)
