Charlotte Wessels - AFKICKEN - Official Music Video

[@CharlotteWesselsOfficial]

Thanks so much for watching my video for AFKICKEN! Below is the much requested English translation! Kicking the habit Oh I’m fine, just sitting here Not a complaint in the world though I seem to have forgotten my name Oh I’m fine just sitting here There's no need to ask me What I’ll have for dinner later The raindrops dance slowly Along the window pane And I don’t know If I will Ever leave this place Oh I’m fine just sitting here So I don’t need to know How long I am in for Oh I’m comfortable here So you can stop asking me If I ever regret it I don’t get scared until I sleep I made one mistake only And I’d do it again in a heartbeat You, you, you Were my medicine You, you, you Were too much for me Now I’m kicking the habit Oh, I’m kicking the habit You, you, you Were too good for me Mothers, love your daughters And give them timely warning Of strangers and alleyways Mothers, love your sons And keep them close to you For they might run into me I don’t get scared until I sleep There are good reasons for my deeds "This bird needs to fly", you said So I gave you wings Heavy ones, to carry Your wooden suit "This bird needs to fly", you said So I gave you wings Do you think anyone Has ever shown me gratitude? You are mine forever. You, you, you Were my medicine You, you, you Were too much for me Now I’m kicking the habit Oh , I’m kicking the habit You, you, you Were too good for me

English translation & song meaning - Oh I’m fine here I have nothing to complain I only forget my name Oh I’m fine here No you don’t have to ask What I want to eat soon The rain runs over the window Slowly And I don’t know if I ever Still going away Oh I’m fine here So I don’t have to know How long I still have to stay Oh I’m fine here So you don’t have to ask Whether I sometimes regret I’m scared when I sleep I just did a thing wrong And I’d do it again You, you, you Was my medicine You, you, you Was too much for me Now I have to reince Oh, now I have to reince You, you, you Was too good for me Mothers, love your daughters And warn them in time For strangers and alleys Mothers, love your sons And keep them for a long time Because later I come across them I’m scared when I sleep I didn’t do anything “This bird must fly” you said So I gave you wings And heavy, for wearing From your wooden suit “This bird must fly” you said So I gave you wings Do you think someone me Have you ever Thank you? From me forever You, you, you Was my medicine You, you, you Was too much for me Now I have to reince Oh, now I have to reince You, you, you Was too good for me Charlotte says of this song - Afkicken is loosely translated as ‘kicking the habit.’ If you were talking about it in Dutch you would be talking about getting clean from some kind of drugs or alcohol. The way that I’ve worked it into the lyrics is more symbolic. Lyrically, the protagonist of the song, the narrator, is speaking from the point of view of being institutionalised for killing a loved one. That’s where that one is coming from and I’m planning on making a video to go with it to give a visual world to it and show that she is trying to convince the listener that she had a good reason to do what she did. Any healthy listener would say that that makes her crazy but in the video I am planning to add a twist to it that I have had in my mind for a while to show that she is right.

[@HeliodoroFG]

I want a whole movie of this

[@mack7372]

Even though the song is sung in Dutch,It teaches us that music is very universal in all languages. I’m one that loves to read into songs. Charlotte your style and singing is so unique is the reason why I and so many people love it.This video is without a doubt a thriller that if it was a movie I’m all in!!

[@JeanLucPicard85]

I found out about Delain breaking up only now (slow on the uptake I know) so I decided to check on Charlotte and wow. Delain was great but this is next level. You're off the leash Ms. Wessels in the best way possible.

[@markmichel3855]

Delain’s new single comes out on august 9th

[@tpawsplayground]

Holy shit, what an art film. This has gotta be one of the most artsy as fuck things you've done in long time. Props to you, Charlotte!

[@heidilikez2sing]

This has Suspiria and Midsommar vibes and I love it!

[@ziuskoz7631]

I'm listening it just after the new Delain's song. My opinion? You win. Easyly. Great song

[@MrPPAguirre]

I love the singers that are so original and creative, and also those who enter to other fields of art, like acting, dancing, painting, etc... Just like Charlotte! Congratulations!

[@AnthroFiend]

This may be one of my new favorite music videos, to the point that I wish we had a feature-length horror movie with music done by Charlotte.

[@CharlotteWesselsOfficial]

Don't give me any ideas :P

[@marieshutt_12]

I agree, it's mesmerising, almost hypnotic - I love the choreography, the story & creation we are all lucky enough to enjoy.. I wonder if Charlotte could ever expand on this visual , and musical, wonder - to create an actual short film ( plus soundtrack) 🤔😊💖

[@pompeiiizzy265]

[@isselasantina3773]

she really took bits off Suspiria (2018 remake) and Annihilation and turned it into this spine-chiller which is going to be a challenge to top, well done Charlotte

[@luancaetano757]

Yes, I thought about Suspiria while watching it, the video is very beautiful!

[@jesslleonart]

Ah thank you! Couldn't remember the name of that movie, Annihilation!

[@thesolomonsagas4416]
