Dessa - Quinine Lyrics






Nothing stops the dreams
Nothing stops the dreams
Nothing stops the dreams
Nothing stops
Nothing stops

I'm good all day
I keep my edges clean
I work, I play
By rules and reasoning

And I'm trying for a quiet mind
To burn through mine like quinine
And all night I'm a kite on fire
You're in my dreams
And my head's hotwired
To the last thing I need
And you're all that I want and
Until I'm asleep
I can keep all these thoughts off but

Nothing stops the dreams
Nothing stops the dreams
Nothing stops the dreams (nothing stops)
Nothing stops the dreams (nothing stops the dreams)

There must be a part of me still holding on
Still holding on
Still holding on to you
And I can't shake the girl awake
Or make her appreciate the truth
It's no use

And I've been sleeping in my sister's clothes
Hoping you won't find me
But I can't escape; you've always known
Where I do my hiding

In every other dream we meet to reconcile
And in the morning I know I'll wake up
Another shade of wrecked inside
This sleep doesn't bring a lot of rest and I
I stay tired
Nothing's half as good as us
We were hand to glove to cuff
Nothing
Nothing's half as good

There must be a part of me
Still holding on
Still holding on
Still holding on to you
And I can't shake the girl awake
Or make her appreciate the truth
It's no use (It must be)

It must be a part of me
Still holding on (it must be)
Still holding on (it must be)
I'm still holding on to you
But I can't shake the girl awake
Or make her appreciate the truth (holding on, holding on)
It's no use

Nothing stops the dreams (nothing stops the dreams)
(Nothing's)
Nothing stops the dreams (nothing's half as good as us)
Nothing stops the dreams (nothing's)
Nothing stops
(Hand to glove to hand to glove to hand to glove to cuff)

I knew better when we met and then I knew you instead
I never even wonder "whether"
No, with us it was always "when"

Cause you're the last thing I need and
You're all that I want and
Until I'm asleep
I can keep all these thoughts off but

I've still got the dreams
I've still got the dreams
I've still got the dreams

    Nothing stops the dreams
    Nothing stops the dreams

    Nothing stops
    Nothing stops

    [Verse 1]
    I'm good all day
    I keep my edges clean
    I work, I play
    By rules and reasoning

    And I'm trying for a quiet mind
    To burn through mine like quinine
    And all night I'm a kite on fire
    You're in my dreams
    And my head's hotwired
    To the last thing I need
    And you're all that I want and
    Until I'm asleep
    I can keep all these thoughts off but

    [Hook]
    Nothing stops the dreams
    Nothing stops the dreams
    Nothing stops the dreams (nothing stops)
    Nothing stops the dreams (nothing stops the dreams)

    [Chorus]
    There must be a part of me still holding on
    Still holding on
    Still holding on to you
    And I can't shake the girl awake
    Or make her appreciate the truth
    It's no use

    [Verse 2]
    And I've been sleeping in my sister's clothes
    Hoping you won't find me
    But I can't escape; you've always known

    In every other dream we meet to reconcile
    And in the morning I know I'll wake up
    Another shade of wrecked inside

    Can't believe I didn't hear this yet. Dessa exists on this unique level as being an amazing singer and a really amazing rapper/lyricist. Hell i've even watched a video on how she writes haha.

  26. B.... W....

    She tares it UP in this banger of bangers. You should see how much my face looks like I'm smelling piss right now. My face always does that when I'm listening to NASTY music.

  27. J.... L....

    lovely as always Dessa

  28. K.... ....

    I don't think I've ever heard a Dessa song that didn't blow me away. Admittedly, the first time I heard this I was a bit disappointed since it sounds so similar to most of her other songs. But now I've had this on repeat for a few days and can't get over how much of a supremely talented person she is. I don't care if she isn't diversifying her style more. This is a fantastic song by a couple of fantastic individuals and I'm happy to listen to it. Great job on the song guys

    K.... ....

    I hear what you are saying, and love your comment, but ill respectfully disagree that it sounds so much like her other music. It feels like its on a different level. Like walking up a staircase. And its really exciting for me to know theres more music coming from this gifted soul <3 She certainly keeps evolving in her own way.

    K.... ....

    +Kaiju - Have you listened to her songs from A Badly Broken Code or Castor, the Twin? I was actually shocked when I first heard this song because of how experimental it sounds and how it's so different from her previously released songs--with the exception of _some_ of her songs from Parts of Speech. In any case, Dessa continues to impress me and not stay limited in her comfort zone.

    K.... ....

    Yes :) Ive had the pleasure of hearing everything she has recorded (I believe). And this song just keeps getting better with each listen, it has soul for sure. You are right. She is so unique and smart in the fact that she uses so many different facets with her music and her voice. I think people can become trapped in a way by the "genre's" of music they are put into, or chose for themselves, with some not being able to evolve over time, or continue with their inspirations. Dessa seems to have built many hatches to that genre box, because nobody is trapping her under any labels :) That is truly an artistic way of being.

  29. N.... ....

    Dessa fucking crushing it.

  30. M.... R....

    THERE'S NEW DESSA HOLY SHIT (ALSO NEW ABY WOLF TOO IIRC)

  31. K.... W....

    I can dig it

  32. L.... W....

    hey, dessa? I fucking love you.

  33. E.... W....

    Hot damn. Crushing.

  34. J.... F....

    My girlfriend and I were almost speechless. Dessa has again remained true to her own style while reppin' that doomtree technique that can't can't be sweated. Don't sweat the tech.. Keep it up!

  35. K.... ....

    Dessa kills it yet again. Would never expect anything less.

  36. L.... ....

    This is incredible. I love you guys.

  37. T.... A....

    I fucking love Dessa

  38. R.... M....

    Sweet baby marimba

  39. J.... H....

    This is awesome

  40. D.... G....

    Fantastic as always Dessa. So happy to hear about new music coming from you. Can't wait for more.

  41. x.... ....

    Fuck yes. This is amazing!

  42. P.... ....

    Hell yeah!!!

  43. P.... ....

    Been a big fan of Dessa since 2005 and my hopes that she'd continue to create amazing music were anything but false.

    P.... ....

    heh, I see what you did there

    P.... ....

    +Moira Russell he didn't say anything witty

    P.... ....

    +Allie Boy Actually you missed the reference to one of her albums. It was subtle, but it's there.

    P.... ....

    Look up the Doomtree "False Hopes" series.

    P.... ....

    false hopes is used by pretty much every member of doomtree

  44. B.... ....

    Dessica, Papes, Laze!!! Speaking of dreams, that's the dream team!
    Thanks for the new music Dessa. Nothing stops the dreams. But it's areality that DOOMTREE'S BETTER! =:xB

  45. G.... M....
