Tell Me 04:33
LYRICS: I'm standing all alone In my room waiting for you I'm looking for an answer So tell me, what did you do? I'm looking you in the eye and you know you cannot lie So please tell me the truth Even though you know I’ll cry I know how much it hurts Because we’ve been here before So please don’t leave me hanging Please don’t let me wait no more I shouldn’t even care but I really have to know You know it isn’t fair Maybe you just have to go (Ooh ooh ooh ooh...) And I wanna know so bad Even though it’ll make me mad I just wanna know so bad Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you I'm standing all alone In my room and now you’re gone I'm looking for a way out Cause I just want to move on I’m giving you my heart And you just break it so hard and even though it hurts me We just have to stay apart Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you Crying all my night for you Tears are streaming down for you Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you Tell me Tell me what did you do Tell me After all I‘ve done for you

I Breathe 03:42
LYRICS: (Oh oh oh oh oh...) I breathe so loud but I don’t make a sound I run, I fly But I’m still on the ground (Ooh Ooh Ah...) I breathe so loud but I don’t make a sound I run, I fly But I’m still on the ground I breathe so loud but I don’t make a sound I run, I fly But I’m still on the ground (Ooh Ooh..) I breathe so loud but I don’t make a sound I run, I fly But I’m still on the ground I breathe so loud but I don’t make a sound I run, I fly But I’m still on the ground (Ooh Ooh Ah...)

Slime 03:19
LYRICS: (Oh...) (Eh Eh Eh eh..) Slimy glitter on your finger it shows you who to be all your life you count the days and keep yourself from breathing It’s the time to rip your skin and show your true oneself But you’ve forgotten how to walk and now you’re out of breath Slimy glitter on your finger it shows you who to be all your life you count the days and keep yourself from breathing (Eh Eh Eh eh..)

LYRICS: (Ah ah ah...) Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains The Broken mirror tells me no more lies I need to hide away from truth Divine justice coming in disguise To spit my face and rip my eyes Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains (Blue and dark and Blue and dark and Blue and dark and Blue and dark and) Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains Blue and dark blood burning me within my veins I’m held in chains

LYRICS: -Am i Still Alive? Wasn’t I swallowed by a black hole? -You never left You were always here You are yourself And everybody else If that scares you You’ll get calm Trust me Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you -Do I still exist? Wasn’t I eaten by my empty thoughts? Wasn’t I spitted by the universe? -This never happened You are still here You can be anything you want You can still be yourself If this seems impossible You’ll understand Listen Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you -And If I don’t swim back to the surface? What if I drown down to the bottom? What If I get lost? What If I get lost? -You will understand Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you Nobody was in less pain than you (if I drown down to the bottom What If I get lost? if I drown down to the bottom What If I get lost? if I drown down to the bottom You will understand if I drown down to the bottom Am i Still Alive? if I drown down to the bottom What If I get lost? if I drown down to the bottom Am i Still Alive? if I drown down to the bottom if I drown down to the bottom if I drown down to the bottom if I drown down to the bottom)

LYRICS: I breathe so loud I make a trembling sound I run, I fly Until I break the ground I breathe so loud I make a trembling sound I run, I fly Until I break the ground Και νιώθω κάτι βράδια που με παίρνουν Και τίποτα, κανένας δε με σώζει Εκεί σε μια καρέκλα ξαποσταίνω Και το μυαλό γυρίζει και θολώνει Κι η αϋπνία γίνεται πια επιλογή Αργοσβήνω μα δεν κοιμάμαι Φοβούμενη της μέρας την αλήθεια Σπρώχνω τη νύχτα με μανία να ξεχειλώσει Μα μάταιοι οι κόποι μου Η μέρα πάλι θα ‘ρθει να φωτίσει Τη βρώμικη αλήθεια του βραδιού μου Τε τύψεις κι ενοχές να με γεμίσει. Δε θέλω μέσα μου να υπάρχει Ένα τοπίο μαυρισμένο Να μη με νοιάζει που θα πάω Το θάνατο μου να περιμένω Δε θέλω τη ζωή μου όλη Να μου την πνίξει η μαύρη αλήθεια Που κάθε βράδυ θα πλέκω Για να με κρατάει σφιχτά μια συνήθεια Δε θέλω να σβήσω τη μέρα Που η αλήθεια με τρόμαξε μέχρι που χάθηκα Στα γκρίζα ηνία που μπλέχτηκα Μέχρι που έκλαψα κι αποτρελάθηκα Ακούω μια θολή φωνή Από τα έγκατα της ύπαρξής μου Θα στήσω ηχεία, μικρόφωνο Για να δυναμώσει η στάθμη της φωνής μου Εγώ θα φωνάξω Τότε θα πετάξω Τότε θα ανασάνω Θα βγάλω τον ήχο Που μέσα πατούσα Συχνά αγνοούσα Τον ήλιο, τη μέρα Το φως, κάποιο στίχο Και θα 'ρθει η ώρα Που σπάει η κλεψύδρα Που ανάβω το φως Που λιώνει η σελίδα Που μένει ο στίχος Που τρέχω, πετάω Βουίζει ο ήχος Μου λέω “σ’αγαπάω” I breathe so loud I make a trembling sound I run, I fly Until I break the ground I breathe so loud I make a trembling sound I run, I fly Until I break the ground

about

X find themselves trapped inside a reality that doesn’t reflect their true identity. A crippling sensation bothers them. They move through a tormenting world in which they don’t feel like they belong. A slow and painful realisation hits when they move into the unknown. X’s melancholic existence doesn’t limit their anger as a burning sensation of futility and doubt cages them. That’s when they stumble upon an impasse; disappear completely or break through and seek a new form of existence?

“I Breathe” is NEFΛELI’s debut album that forms an auditory collage of
her love for electronic music and her Greek musical background. This album is a realisation journey. Listening to it, one can find themselves in various states of being. The music stays inside this feeling; it moves through the dilemma of existence and seeks solace on the other side. What will we make of the juicy synapses that echo inside our brains? Will we be able to stay and move through or simply stay behind?
