Nia Soul - Experiments In Blue (Lyrics)

Hello, beautiful souls. I’m Nia Soul, and I’m so thrilled to share my very first song, Experiments In Blue, with you. This track is a deep dive into the layers of life-those quiet moments when stories unfold in unexpected corners of the world. I drew inspiration from my childhood streets in Nigeria and the bustling energy of the Bronx, weaving together memories and emotions that shaped who I am.
Creating this piece felt like painting a canvas with sound, blending soulful melodies with a touch of nostalgia. The lyrics carry whispers of resilience and raw humanity, while the music embraces the warmth of my roots and the complexity of modern life. This is my homage to all those seeking light amid the shadows.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Your support fuels my creative fire, and I hope this song resonates with your heart as deeply as it does with mine.
With love and gratitude,
Nia Soul
Lyrics
Intro
“Sometimes, the streets whisper secrets… if you know how to listen.”
Verse 1
Experiments in blue, faded like jeans,
Jerome Avenue, shaded with trees.
No place for a woman, no place to dine,
Crowded with men on the line,
Stricken with disease and drink and crime.
Chorus
Secret heart in the sun, under a parasol,
Secrets come undone.
(They always come undone...)
Verse 2
Come into my tent, plead for something new,
Sick unto death, testing one-two.
Kick you to the curb and dress in leather boots,
Off to the club with you,
Mourning women in mourning suits.
Chorus
Secret heart in the sun, under a parasol,
Secrets come undone.
(Oh, secrets come undone...)
Bridge
It’s a shadow of the life we live,
Buried whispers you can’t forgive.
(Oh, they linger...)
Every word unsaid still weighs,
But in the light, it starts to fade.
Verse 3
Ronin in Greenpoint, bulletproof hair,
Drinking a green juice-who’s that over there?
Pennies for your thoughts, no thoughts,
It’s always better after dark.
Lull you into a daze with my harp.
Verse 4
Try to speak French, it comes back to me:
Mort aux cons and ainsi soit-il.
Clawing through the imagery to something true,
Some girl just like you,
Except she’s dressed in blue, appears out of the blue.
Final Chorus
Secret heart in the sun, under a parasol,
Secrets come undone.
(All secrets come undone...)
Outro
“In the sun, all shadows fade… but the secrets remain.”
