Turmoil Lyrics
Hey
Off with your head, speaking to the dead
I'm like Lewis Carroll, medium with the pen
& you've made your bed
But, there's no rest for the wicked
Who, oooh
[VERSE 1]
Don't brag, don't boast, far from calm and composed
Yeah, I let you get close, emotionally exposed
When I needed you the most, you were never down ten toes
Full of natural highs & lows, I chose to overdose on dopamine
Cutthroat, tightrope, slip & sliding
I can't cope without my necеssary evil
Sub-zero below, I'd shivеr in the cold of your kaleidoscope ego
Your true colours have shown
& plucking flowers from the meadow won't atone
(No, no, no)
[Chorus]
Oooh
Turmoil
Never have I seen so much
Oooh
Turmoil
How ya' suppose to love
When you can't trust
Oooh
To be, or not to be, is quite the question; Truly
Up in knots, stop, it's all to nought; it ain't working, churning, hurting
Don't admire shattered, cracked, broken glass, crashing fast
Yeah, I bet you're really feeling, now, feeling unattractive
Ashes to ashes & dull-magnets, it's your turn to get lost in the madness, without the magic
No more attachments; accidents happen; but, Sia said my heart is elastic
Little did I know, all that glitters isn't gold, & I can't stand the rain against my window
A house isn't a home, where the highroads erode, overload, overflow, overgrown, over so
Plucking flowers from the meadow won't atone
(No, no, no)
[Chorus]
Oooh
Turmoil
Never have I seen so much
Oooh
Turmoil
How ya' suppose to love
When you can't trust
[OUTRO]
Turmoil, Turmoil
Turmoil, Turmoil
Turmoil, Turmoil
Turmoil, Turmoil
About
The literary reference reflects Haws’ poetic prowess. It’s refreshing to see an artist reference something other than contemporary pop culture in their lyrics. Immediately it implies a maturity to the listener, a willingness to go against the grain. This is also reflected in the way she breaks down syllables – Aieysha Haws is not one to ride the beat predictably. Weaving in the twists and turns each pocket the instrumental affords, Haws tests the limits of the English language, keeping the listener on their toes. [HipHopNMore]

I examined the value of love & trust, while exploring self-consciousness, & the telltale signs of unhealthy relationships, while also paying tribute to artists: Tina Turner, Luther Vandross, Sia, Lewis Carroll, & Shakespeare. This track allowed me to explore more of my vulnerability & share that with my fanbase ‘Wise Eyes’ & listeners.
