Dark Skin 04:03
Dark Skin Don't hate your lovely dark skin Eradication within Will never lead you to truly fit in We've been free For over fifty years So people take pride And please switch gears You come from a beautiful place And have such a curvy nice face Why do you strive to look like your captors? Why do you strive to be one with your captors? We've been free For over fifty years So people take pride And please switch gears You want to marry someone Whose standards are white beauty and fair skin You want to marry someone With self-denial and void within We've been free For over fifty years So people take pride And please switch gears

I Know 04:20
I know I'm the one who left you and I'm the one who hurt you but that doesn't mean that I don't want you If only you could feel my pain but I know you've quite enough of yours to stomach our void, our void I know you know it too, it had to be done And now we're both alone bleeding and numb I know I need to do this laundry but I can't when it's the only scent of you I have I miss your smell and touch so much I still feel your hands moving on my body I still taste your salty warm wetness I still feel your fingers dancing on my skin I know you know it too, it had to be done Before we destroyed each other with our bombs and guns Which is worse? Your anger or this void? I don't know, but does it matter? This destruction continues either way. It was hard to sit there like a stone as you begged me to stay But I know the worse was yet to come if I failed I know you know it too, it had to be done Before we destroyed each other with our bombs and guns I know you know I'll love you forever So get your shit together and come back for me

What if you don't wake up tomorrow? Did you handle yourself as you meant to? Do you carry your anger and regrets forever on your shoulders? Won't you let go once? Express yourself as you want to. Let go Don't wait till it's too late Lift your grudge and see the sun before it sets forever Give in to the relief that you desperately want to feel Open your blinds and let the light in now You are never guaranteed your place in tomorrow Will you be able to die today in peace or carry your shit into the next life? Refuse to Carry Regrets

Lost Samadhi 03:09
There's no sense to make of this Our recent secret bliss Every last precious kiss With you Where do we go from here? Losing your love is my only fear We're too far and yet so near To heavenly samadhi Oooooh, What's the point now? Oooooh, Hanging on to what we can't ever have I can't tear myself from you I can't get my mind off you I can't want someone new No Tears I want to cry You can't be by my side I don't want to say goodbye To you, my precious love Oooooh, What's the point now? Oooooh, Hanging on to what we can't ever have

about

The eclectic instrumentations and arrangements of Saltation Ignite range from ukeleles and tabla, 808 and urhu, movement-inducing combos of various electronics, lush piano and strings married to contralto vocal longings and snarls, drums and spaceships, and much more.

Saltation Ignite stems from the imagination of Mardhavi, the female Sri Lankan-American producer with an equally eclectic background as a film composer, school band/orchestra/choir director, percussionist, computer tech, yogini, dancer, and activist. She invites you to discover her Emergence, a richly complex sea of pulls-and-pushes of dualities, melancholy bliss, and the soundscapes of her core.
