Sugar & Ice (Acoustic) | ElysianSoul

Музыка

This acoustic version of Sugar & Ice comprises of vocals and piano only. For a long time, I've really wanted to take some of my heavily electronic sounding songs and strip them back to their simplest forms. While it started out as a bit of experimentation, I liked the sound so much I decided to make an EP. I started out back in 2009 with just a piano and vocals, so it was quite nostalgic and freeing to go back to this format.
For this version of Sugar & Ice, I have kept the lyrics gender neutral and inclusive compared to the original.
If you have any recommendations for future acoustic versions of any of my songs, please feel free to suggest them in the comments below!

Lyrics:
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Making you a smaller size,
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Falling for my anorexic lies.
"I'm so jealous,
You're so thin,"
That's what everyone will say,
Whenever you walk in.
In your mind you're careless,
Always giving in,
You never knew you wanted to
Embrace your darkest sins.
My name is Anorexia,
We've met before,
I'm that voice that whispers deep inside
That's saying, you want more.
So fade into perfection,
And learn to love the pain,
'Cause in my arms your fragile life
Has meaning once again.
The chance to change the numbers
On the scale is so alluring,
These voices in your head,
Are so alive, and so assuring.
I need to lose the weight
And get right back to where I was,
High eighty (lbs) is my perfection,
Low sixty (lbs) is yours.
'Cause I'm sweet as sugar,
But I'm cold as ice,
I'm the darkness in your eyes,
I'm the shadow to the light.
Keep your enemies close,
And they'll keep you strong,
With me inside your mind,
You can never go wrong.
I'm the shiver in your spine,
As the needle drops down,
The back to your bone,
I'm your lost and found.
Don't you worry, my darling,
For when you scream,
I will be the one to help you reach your dreams.
Tell your friends that you're doing homework,
And go for a run,
Tell your family you've already eaten,
The wiser they'll be none.
'Cause starving isn't easy,
And it sure as hell ain't fun,
It's a long dark road ahead,
And we've only just begun.
Can't you see? All these people,
They don't care for you,
I would never lie to spare your feelings
Like they do.
Do right by me, and I'll be sugar sweet to you,
But cross me and my colder side
Just might show through.
'Cause I'm sweet as sugar,
But I'm cold as ice,
I'm the darkness in your eyes,
I'm the shadow to the light.
Keep your enemies close,
And they'll keep you strong,
With me inside your mind,
You can never go wrong.
I'm the shiver in your spine,
As the needle drops down,
I'm the back to your bone,
I'm your lost and,
Oh, you know better, my darling,
But you can't deny,
I'm sweet as sugar,
Cold as ice.
Sweet as sugar,
Cold as ice.

    I just love your songs. It gave me ways to better explain what was going on inside. I could never really find the words, but your songs really catch all of what is going on during those struggles. It even helped me understand myself. I never understood what was going on with me and sometimes I still don't, but those songs brought a lot of light into that darkness.

    Omg ! This is the song that made me discover you, and I've been such a fan of all of your songs since then. They are always so comforting to listen to when times get tough... It's nice to see you're back after some time, with these new so cool versions !

    Love both sounds but this stripped sound feels like a real call back (the gender neutral wordings is also so nice to hear, genuinely thank you for that)
