December was influenced by a broken heart – Gyakie

Singer Gyakie has revealed the inspiration behind her latest release, ‘December‘. She told Berla Mundi of TV3 that it was a real story she used for the song.

“It is fully broken heart. It’s actually one of the songs I wrote when I was in actually in one of my sad moments and I wrote it in Paris. Every word in the song is literally direct,” she said., adding “A special someone disappointed me. The story of the song is in the lyrics of the song when you read the lyrics, you will understand what I mean more.”

In the song Gyakie spoke about someone leaving hurt in “bondage” and now when she is okay, the person wants to come back to put her into misery again. Then in the chorus, Gyakie admitted that the person had won because her heart still beats for the person.

[Intro]
(Flip The Music)
Mm-hmm

[Refrain]
Look into my eyes, what you find, what you see is what you did to me
I don’t believe in love, don’t believe this would ever work out
If you wanna fight, fight me, don’t call me, just let me be, let me be
You left me in bondage, now that I’m free, you wanna tie me up again o

[Chorus]
Ho, ho, ho, ho, it’s another December without you
Life goes on, no
But tordaa I wish that I could say it all
Somebody pinch me from this sleep
‘Cause I wanna end it all
Aden na woha makoma sei
Congratulations, you won

[Post-Chorus]
If I could love you, I would love you right away
But then you lock me up and thrеw the keys away
For all the timеs I was in pain, you’ll pay for it
And the law of karma will deliver this for me

[Chorus]
Ho, ho, ho, ho, it’s another December without you
Life goes on, no
But tordaa I wish that I could say it all
Somebody pinch me from this sleep
‘Cause I wanna end it all
Aden na woha makoma sei
Congratulations

[Post-Chorus]
If I could love you, I would love you right away (Right away)
But then you lock me up and threw the keys away (Oh, away)
For all the times I was in pain, you’ll pay for it
And the law of karma will deliver this for me

[Refrain]
Look into my eyes, what you find, what you see is what you did to me (What you did)
I don’t believe in love, don’t believe this would ever work out (Don’t believe this would ever work out)
If you wanna fight, fight me, don’t call me, just let me be, let me be
You left me in bondage, now that I’m free, you wanna tie me up again o

Ho, ho, ho, ho, it’s another December without you (Yeah)
Life goes on, no

Life goes on, no (Life goes)
But tordaa I wish that I could say it all
