Havnevik, Kate - Emperor Of Nowhere Lyrics






Your mystery
The ebb and flow of misery

How much darkness
Is needed to see the stars?
How much harm must
I feel to heal your scars

You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here

These wings are drenched
From ambivalence, a slow descent

How much darkness
Is needed to see the stars?
How much harm must
I feel to heal your scars

You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here

What can't endure
Can't be cured
Will surely end

You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here

    Such a great vibe, and so creative! I'm psyched for the new album. #KateHavnevik  #Music

  33. J.... R....

    Amazing... I love it

  34. T.... R....

    SO EXCITED FOR NEW MUSIC & HOPEFULLY FOR THE NEW ALBUM SOON BUT NO PRESSURE. n.n c: ^-^

    T.... R....

    Your Hear Me Out cover was amazing. It's clear you have good taste to accompany your deft musicianship. Perhaps i should upload some covers so artists such as yourself can shed light on strengths and weaknesses. My apologies for the lack of brevity, and I were to keep this short, I just want to say I am inspired by your voice as well as Imogen's.

    T.... R....

    @Quentin Hendrix
    thanks for commenting :) i would happily listen to any covers you upload, feel free to let me know when/if you decide to upload anything ^_^ x

  35. G.... V....

    So lovely! I'm addicted after listening to it once.

  36. D.... �....

    Oh wow! This song reminds me of Melankton, one of my favourite albums ever. I love 'You' as well, but it lacks that certain sombre and eerie feeling.

    D.... �....

    You summed it up perfectly. So excited to hear the new album.

  37. L.... S....

    Excellent new video, "Emporer of Nowhere" by @Kate Havnevik!

    Behind-the-scenes info:

    Here is the first video for the forthcoming album. The video is for the track Emperor of Nowhere, written by Kate Havnevik and Guy Sigsworth.
    The video was shot in increments of 10-15 seconds per shot and then stitched together as stop motion animation using over 1200 shots. The painters had ca. 2-4 seconds in between takes to add to the painting using UV paint onto a black background. It took about 16 hours to finish the shoot. It was hard work :-)
