Sweet Noise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ndibambha ndiyeka
Ndibambha ndiyeka mbhambho zonke
Nyuka moya
Nyuka moya
Kude lasiyakhona
Ungajiki ngoku jikiswa
Ungagwaji ngoku gwajiswa
Thatha nantsi izuka umtwanami
Hlangana mathambo
Ndiyabuza baphantsi
Awu kwenzenjani?
Awu kwenzenjani?
Ndibona umhlola apha ekhaya
Painkiller another
Dream raper blood
Hungry sucker
Another soul taker
I'm sucked dry not one drop to spill
Cut the motherfuckin' throat of my broken will
What it takes to make me blind and deaf
And songs those shallow my daily bread
Brother I need a hint of inspiration
Some motivation revolt
The declarations revolt
Kubo!
Revolt
It's like the cold rain
In the middle of my way
Fingers bleeding search for chords to play
And the words they brake evolve and become
We hit the stone and steal with
The bare hands
My love and passion
Kubo!
My love and passion
My love and passion
The pain and confessions
Desire and fate on my thorny ways
I've got stories to tell
And million books to burn but
I'm no one without you
I feel the tears you crying
The fear of life and dying
Your eyes they can't be lying
You live your life trying
With love and passion
Comes pain and confessions
Desire and fate on my wicked ways
I've got stories to tell
And million books to burn
And i'm here without you
My home, my life, my name, my pride
You rape you kill and go
Nothing left in here for you
Fuck you it's been to much
Your kiss like the devils touch
My life, my love, my child, my home
Where do we go from here
Love
Hush baby
Don't you cry...
Hush baby
Don't you cry...
Love and passion, compassion
Ndibambha ndiyeka mbhambho zonke
Nyuka moya
Nyuka moya
Kude lasiyakhona
Ungajiki ngoku jikiswa
Ungagwaji ngoku gwajiswa
Painkiller another
Dream raper blood
Hungry sucker
Another soul taker
I'm sucked dry not one drop to spill
Cut the motherfuckin' throat of my broken will
What it takes to make me blind and deaf
And songs those shallow my daily bread
Brother I need a hint of inspiration
Some motivation revolt
The declarations revolt
Kubo!
Revolt
The lyrics to Sweet Noise's song Painkiller delve into deep, dark themes of pain, struggle, and the desire to revolt. The chorus, "Ndibambha ndiyeka, Ndibambha ndiyeka, Ndibambha ndiyeka mbhambho zonke, Nyuka moya, Nyuka moya, Kude lasiyakhona," is sung in isiXhosa and means "I hold fast and let go, I hold fast and let go, I hold fast and let go of everything, Rise up spirit, rise up spirit, Far away we've gone, Don't be afraid when put to the test, Don't be ashamed when being broken," conveying the idea of holding onto something while also letting it go, and not being afraid of facing struggles or being broken. The verse, "It's like the cold rain in the middle of my way, Fingers bleeding search for chords to play, And the words they brake evolve and become, We hit the stone and steal with, The bare hands," showcases the pain and struggle of trying to create something, with fingers bleeding and evolved words, in the middle of a cold and harsh world.
In the next verse, the lyrics delve into the theme of pain, with lines like "Painkiller another, Dream raper blood, Hungry sucker, Another soul taker," highlighting the various sources of pain, like addiction and loss. The chorus is repeated again, before the lyrics turn towards the idea of a revolt, with lines like "What it takes to make me blind and deaf, And songs those shallow my daily bread, Brother I need a hint of inspiration, Some motivation revolt, The declarations revolt, Kubo! Revolt," conveying a desire for change and revolution.

Ndibambha ndiyeka
I hold on, I resist
Nyuka moya
Rise up, spirit
Kude lasiyakhona
Far, far away, we have gone
Ungajiki ngoku jikiswa
Don't be afraid to be caught
Ungagwaji ngoku gwajiswa
Don't run away, now captured
Thatha nantsi izuka
Take this, it's a wake-up call
Thatha nantsi izuka umtwanami
Take this, it's a wake-up call for my child
Hlangana mathambo
Meet bones (have a face to face confrontation)
Ndiyabuza baphantsi
I ask the people below (for solutions)
Awu kwenzenjani?
What can I do?
Ndibona umhlola apha ekhaya
I see the mess here at home
Painkiller another
Another painkiller
Dream raper blood
Dreams that take away life
Hungry sucker
Craving for more than it needs
Another soul taker
Taking lives away
I'm sucked dry not one drop to spill
I am drained, nothing left to give
Cut the motherfuckin' throat of my broken will
Destroy the root of my shattered determination
What it takes to make me blind and deaf
The extent of the pain I feel
And songs those shallow my daily bread
And the songs that trivialize my struggles
Brother I need a hint of inspiration
Friend, I require a spark of creativity
Some motivation revolt
Some incentive to rebel
The declarations revolt
The state of uprising
It's like the cold rain
It feels as if it's cold hard reality
In the middle of my way
While I'm on my path
Fingers bleeding search for chords to play
Fingers hurting, trying to find harmony
And the words they brake evolve and become
The words fall apart, then transform
We hit the stone and steal with the bare hands
We hit a roadblock and have to improvise
My love and passion
My affection and enthusiasm
The pain and confessions
The agony and revelations
Desire and fate on my thorny ways
Ambition and destiny on my difficult journey
I've got stories to tell
I have experiences to share
And million books to burn but
And many books to destroy, however
I'm no one without you
I am nobody without you
I feel the tears you crying
I sense your sorrowful tears
The fear of life and dying
The dread of living and dying
Your eyes they can't be lying
Your eyes never deceive
You live your life trying
You struggle to live your life
With love and passion
With devotion and fervor
Comes pain and confessions
Brings anguish and revelations
Desire and fate on my wicked ways
Ambition and destiny on my immoral path
My home, my life, my name, my pride
My place of residence, my existence, my identity, my dignity
You rape you kill and go
You violate, you slay and leave
Nothing left in here for you
There's nothing more for you here
Fuck you it's been too much
Fuck you, it has been too much
Your kiss like the devils touch
Your kiss feels satanic
Where do we go from here
What is the next step
Love
Love
Hush baby
Quiet, child
Don't you cry...
Don't shed tears...
Compassion
