Xenia Manasseh - Anticipate ft. Karun (Visualizer)

Prod. by Cee B & Stoopid Lou

Anticipate is a song that revolves around time. Wanting to move forward from a current state of uncertainty by sort of chasing the feeling of what it used to be. This song lives in the future and the past both in meaning and sonically. From the heavy drum, bass and percussion combination in the beginning to the laid back but impactful, orchestral second half. I always said this song felt to me like watching a movie… nonetheless it came from a place where neither Karun nor I were afraid to tap into an emotion we have both experienced and simply admit it.

LYRICS:

I’m anticipating
Waiting
Wondering
If we’ll make it to our destination
Wondering
If our love is
Wasting away
Are
We driving towards
separation
Can’t forget to mention
Attention‘ s
Been lacking
I stay backtracking to the
Good days
Reverse
U-turn
It don’t matter to me
whatever takes me to
what it used to be

Eee
Will you go back there with me?
Eee eee
Back to when our love was free
Eee eee
Will you go back there with me?
Eee eee
Back to when our love was free

Karun
mmmh
I’ve been feeling off
Track
Wondering what’s wrong with me
Cause something got lost
On the way
No nothing feels the same baby
I used to get lost
In your fragrance
Something like butterflies and ecstasy
Can we take it back
Back I’m longing for
Whatever takes me back to what it used to be

Eee (yeah yeah yeah)
Will you go back there with me? (oohhh ohh)
Eee eee (yeaaah)
Back to when our love was free (oooooh)
Eee eee
Will you go back there with me? (oooh)
Eee eee (yeah yeah)
Back to when our love was free
(love will stick around hey)
