You jump in the deep from sky high What are you looking for Tell me cause I never learned to fly Feels like a silent war Sometimes I worry That I will never be Like all of these people around me From now on I tell myself to be free I'll float in the air You crush to the ground from sky high How do you stand up again Tell me my body doesn't wanna try I wonder if it ever will Sometimes I worry (sometimes, sometimes) That I will never be (that I, that I) Like all these people around me (like all) From now on I tell myself to be free (from now on) I'll float in the air I'll float in the air This level, can't seem to reach Cause no one ever taught it to me How to be so brave to just dive into the deep I'll float in the air (I will float, in the air) I'll float in the air (I will float, oh oh)

Leave 04:47
If tomorrow stays the same Then I think I’ll disappear I’m not made to be here today I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave You But don’t you dare leave me instead No, don’t you dare leave me instead I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave No, don’t you dare leave me instead (don’t you dare leave me instead) Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Aah Aah Aah Aah Aah Aah Ooh Ooh Ooh Like I’m a great white in the ocean where no one wants to be around I’m not surprised, cause I might bite until all the water turns to red Like on a ship that’s built to wreck, the captain died, I try to swim Like I’m a ghost beneath your bed, no one can see me, nobody wants to A skeleton back in your closet, covered in dust, waiting till October The alcohol flooding in your blood, it’s always too much, even when you’re sober I try to warn everyone the walls of my heart are paper thin No one cares, including me, cause most of the time it’s me who's been The one to kill, every inch of me that’s trying to do what’s right for me I’ll ask you one, one little thing, a simple favor, a single question Please, please, please Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you Don’t you dare leave me instead Don’t you dare leave me instead I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave (don’t you dare leave me instead, don’t you dare leave me instead) I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave (don’t you dare, leave me instead)

about

The EP ‘’Leaving Shadows Behind’’ is about the struggles Ar-Jane went through while growing up. Every song presents a different struggle.
In order: her first intense heartbreak, self-doubt, learning to forgive yourself, changing friendships and depression.

She hopes these songs offer others some comfort through recognition. But at the same time help them to move forward by being vulnerable. Cause the message Ar-Jane wants to send out with this EP is 'vulnerability is strength'.
