Safe in the Dark

Momo

While you sleep

I swim in the bed

I swim backward to recall

How warm my mum’s arms were

My toenails are red

My muscles are tame

Still I’ve got to be a girl

Where’s she gone…?

I was left behind the door long ago

I learned how to dismiss

How to deal with immature fever

Today I’m insanely calm

I’m blind in the hazy night

Let the lamplight die

I’m fully safe in your palms

I don’t know how cold her arms are

I know she’s not gonna answer

Today I’m insanely calm

We are safe in the dark

Artist Profile

  • Momo

    Momo (Momoko Kawabata) is a singer songwriter known for her passionate piano style, occasionally accompanied by the support of violins and a band. She was born and raised in Chiba, the neighbourly prefecture of Tokyo without much influence from any friends, family or the music industry over there. She self-taught herself how to write songs, how to sing and how to play the piano, mostly relying on her ears and so Momo's unique playing style is highly influenced by this. Although she is often described as the Japanese Kate Bush or Ben Folds, she is into guitar music and live bands such as Elliott Smith, Deerhunter, Modest Mouse and so on rather than shiny piano pop music.
