Track 7: The Dream - I Surrender

I'm so tired, I'm sleeping but I'm exhausted, I keep tossing turning, Why can't I rest. The stillness of this quiet hotel room presses in, It's so quiet I can hear everything, And yet there's nothing to hear.

Lyrics:
I surrender (feat. Emily Stellar) [Album Hotel Déjà Vu - The Dream]

I'm so tired
I'm sleeping but I'm exhausted
I keep tossing turning
Why can't I rest

The stillness of this quiet hotel room presses in
It's so quiet I can hear everything
And yet there's nothing to hear

The hotel doesn't settle
The walls don't crack
No footsteps move down the hallway
No doors open or close

It's just me
Alone in this room

What is it that I really want

I can place myself anywhere
Any situation
Any moment

How long have I been longing for touch
For connection

I had it once
Lost it inside a story of betrayal

I lay back and ask myself again
What do I want

As I lie here drifting
Half asleep
I sense someone enter the room

I don't see her
But I know who it is
And I welcome it

Quiet steps
Barefoot on hardwood
Soft
Careful

Peaceful
As if she already understands what I need

She comes to the bed
I feel the mattress shift as she joins me

She leans close and whispers in my ear
Her voice low
Throaty
Steady

I know you can't sleep
I hear you tossing
But I've got you

You can let go
You can submit to rest
Relax every muscle

I'm taking the wheel

I drift deeper
As if a spell has been cast

Is it the brown eyes of a witch
Or is it Alice

It doesn't matter

My body releases completely
I'm asleep now

Then
A warm gentle hand strokes the back of my neck

Shhh
I've got you

You can lower your guard
You can be free
There is no stress
No pain

Just you and me
The same

Her lips are warm tender
A scent like an aphrodisiac surrounds her

I feel limitless
I surrender

The Hotel Déjà Vu

The Hotel Déjà Vu is a concept album that unfolds like a film you swear you’ve seen before but can’t quite place. Set inside a liminal hotel where time bends and memory loops, each track feels like stepping into a room charged with intimacy, dreams, desire, and awakening.
