Enovelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ek wil bang word en verskonings soek om by jou te bly.
Neem my terug na die ou Transvaal, waar mense die hemel kan koop
Want jou siel is meer werd as pappa se opinie, van toekoms en hoop
Los my drome vir my dat hulle dit onder mekaar kan uitbaklei.
Ek wil bang word en verskonings soek om by jou te bly
Neem my terug na die ou Transvaal, waar mense die hemel kan koop
Want jou siel is meer werd as pappa se opinie, van toekoms en hoop
The lyrics to Enovelle's song Drake speak to the desire for a world where fear and excuses are embraced, where monsters and dragons exist alongside trolls in a world that is real. The singer wants to be taken back to the old Transvaal, a place where people can buy heaven with money. The lyrics highlight the value of one's soul, something that is more valuable than one's father's opinion and the hopes and dreams he may have for them.
The lyrics express a longing for a time and place where the value of the soul is recognized and money cannot buy happiness, where dreams can be pursued without fear or regret. They suggest that the singer desires a world where fear is not a hindrance, but rather something to be embraced and where imperfection is accepted. Ultimately, the song speaks to the theme of living life to the fullest without letting fear hold you back.

I haven't finished reading it, but I had to tell you THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU for writing the book I didn't know I needed. It's the book for the "rest of us." It's the validation that there's nothing wrong with me because I don't have my plot all outlined with every detail.
I love how you reframed "pants-ing" as "discovery writing." Yes! I often am writing and thinking, "Ooooh, I wonder what's going to happen next!" It's so refreshing to find a different perspective rather than having to have it all figured out before I sit down to write.
As soon as Amazon lets me write a glowing review, I will! 🙂

Thanks so much :) I'm thrilled you're finding it reassuring, and it will be out on the stores 13 August so a review would be much appreciated then!

Not sure why, I'm not doing anything different, but YouTube change their algos a lot. Sorry!
