Flow 02:55
Lyrics: I've had enough I pull the plug I want it to end My heart airs out The bitter scent You left within Like a stream I flow on stones Alone I'm no longer your fountain That supplies your wounds An exit
2.
Home 03:20
Lyrics: Warm. Safe. Home Wild and Young Proud. Secrets Under the bed When I sleep When I dream Every piece of living's never lost Time to laugh Time to weep Every part of living's never lost Run. Learn. Grow Moving on Fall. Dance. Mourn Cold and Young When I sleep When I dream Every piece of living's never lost Time to laugh Time to weep Every part of living's never lost

Flaws 03:30
Lyrics: Between the sea and long white beach We watch the moon Large and low and the startled little waves that leap in Fiery ringlets from their sleep Laughs with so little cause We arranged games out of straws We would try and trace each other's faces In the ashes Free of each other's flaws Driving past fields and fields of golden green Where sunflowers mirror the sun's daily chase From East to West Where the wild birds leap between and Till the yearning slips through our fingers In a fire which a few discern May we live and may we learn and Will our tables ever ever turn In the sun we count our heartbeat Handstand apart Facing the giant fee-faw-fum

Skin 02:20
Lyrics: This is goodbye Low tide's out This is access An easy way out Fallen under your skin This is goodbye High tide's in Wind comes from South Birds fly out Forgive me as before
5.
Lyrics: I'm a bit rough round the edges Brother lost control The record plays and on the staircase Lies a tug of war Father can escape, let's forget To the lake we go Mother's faking, I wish for her A lavish youth once more Father's begging on the floor Plates are breaking 'gainst the door Lover's dancing with their shadows Lonesome days are gone Your father met another woman Now He's on the run The kitchen table's full of battles I'm hiding from one Your father's lying on the mattress Thinking 'bout what he's done
6.
Hotel 02:36
Lyrics: Waking up to the ocean's song Far from a home and a job I'm not fond of Pull the sheet's down Jump off the edge Make a mess, no one cares In the morning, there's housekeeping And We'll do it all over again Summer nights and bonfires in the rain Feel the wind feather my hair in some stranger's cabriolet Pull the sheet's down Jump off the edge Make a mess, no one cares In the morning, there's housekeeping And We'll do it all over again
7.
Lyrics: Cars and women The highlife is sinking The life with the office It's all caving in And I won't ever fake it This moulded piece is gone If I don't ever hate it Then meet me at the bar Caught red-handed in adult shops Your secret's now public One click and five shots
8.
My Beginning 02:24
Lyrics: All the swimmers I salute to you When I float I don't produce good fruit I want a promise that life is boundless My beginning's waking up with you

about

Ola Kobak, formerly under the stage name Fulka, presents a new album named Metanoia. Building on the success of her debut album, The 'Mystery of The Seven Stars' in 2010, the songs follow her journey of changing one's mind. With flowing electronic beats, warm vocals and a tranquil Wurlitzer electronic piano, She sings about office life, heartbreak and yearning. Stripped from previous banjo's, strings and guitar, this musical direction is intimate, honest and organic without a glittering self-display.
