about

'Water' is a haunting tale of empowerment following Elisa's journey through isolation and fear as she faces her feelings.

The track is self-released with the support of the HELP MUSICIANS DO IT DIFFERENTLY AWARD and follows Elisa's most recent release with MANIK MC as part of THE SILHOUETTES PROJECT.

About the track, Elisa said: "People always told me that time was a healer. But sometimes time isn't enough and the difficult truth is that you have to put in work to heal yourself. When I wrote this song I was in a dark place yet somehow this felt more comfortable than the prospect of facing the feelings I had been avoiding for a long time. Through therapy, I was becoming aware of the trap I was in and this song chronicles my coming to terms with the fact I had to dive into those difficult emotions to get out of it."

Born and bred in South London, Elisa's music is a homage to the city that raised her. Drawing on her own personal journey her songs are an honest exploration of herself as well as the world we live in.

lyrics

Lyrics:

On my own desert island
Watch the lights float on the horizon Feel the warm glow but we’re divided Where am I
Where am I

Haunted by the sirens
Noone to confide in
How could I be so misguided
Thought I could hide
I could hide

Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water

Rippled reflection
Watch the moonlight stretching
Distorted reflections
Between you and I
You and I

My defences weigh me down
Anchored to the ground
Lonely in the crowd
Amplified
Amplified

Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water

I can see the end from way back here
Found out what I need to do to make it clear
Now I can see it just got to believe it
Bear with the healing
Sit with these feelings
But I don’t wanna swim
Through the tears
But the only way out’s

Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water
Just across the water
