Dandelion Seeds | kiarakalts (NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2026)

Описание: Hi Tiny Desk! Here's my entry for this year's contest :)

Lately I’ve been thinking about honesty and what it means to be true to myself—what it means to trust and listen to my own voice. I wrote this song a while ago but it still strikes something in me when I think of the ways I’ve lost and looked for myself in others. It’s funny how some of the songs I’ve written still have something to teach me.

lyrics

why is it so hard
to write another ending to this love?
i’m stuck where i left
my heart in your hands
the plans we’ll forget
a lonesome duet

i was never honest with you
i was never honest with myself
'cause i stay when it hurts
my knees in the dirt
i lost all my words
i lost who i am

i don’t wanna leave
but i’d like to think we aren’t this naive
to force what can’t last
when it’s all that we have
i can’t do this to you
i don’t know what to do

love is so strange
i want you to change
and you want me in chains

immersed in a lie
what have i done?
who have i become?

dandelion seeds
haunt me every time i go to sleep
i’m not what you need
you’re making me bleed
we dance round the end
like we are on the mend

we dance around the end
