Created in the Elements Music Camp 2018, Ili (Hush) is a playful experiment, which takes and transforms a Visayan folk lullaby into a song that speaks about understanding different perspectives and choosing our battles.
[Verse 1]
In this battle of faith, does anyone ever win it?
In this haggle for truth, does anyone ever see it?
[Pre-Chorus]
There are two roads, but you’ll never lose your way with those eyes
There are two sides, but the beauty lies in between
[Chorus]
Ili, ili anay
Ili, ili anay
[Verse 2]
When the battle is done, how long before we recover?
If the battle is won, how then do we face each other?
[Pre-Chorus]
There are two roads, but you’ll never lose your way with those eyes
There are two sides, but the beauty lies in between
[Chorus]
Ili, ili anay
Ili, ili anay
Ili, ili anay
Ili, ili anay
Ooh-ooh-ili
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ili
Ili anay
[Pre-Chorus]
There are (Ili) two roads but you’ll never (Ooh-ooh-ili) lose your way with those eyes
Ili anay
There are (Ili) two sides but the beauty (Ooh-ooh-ili) lies in between
Ili anay
[Chorus]
Ili, ili anay
Ili, (Ooh) ili anay (Ooh-oh)
Ili, (Eh) ili anay
Ili, (Eh) ili anay
[Outro]
In this battle of faith, does anyone ever win it?
In this haggle for truth, does anyone ever see it?
