Blameless secret doe, Gift me the secret life. The woods breath no words, Where is it that you go? no body or soul knows. Where is it that you go? no body or soul knows. How sacred is idleness when i’m on my own. Let my existence be endangered for in solitude, i’m least alone. Take pleasure in wilderness where i’m on my own. Let my existence be fables in solitude, i’m least alone. Blameless secret doe, The forest echoes your mettle, your mettle, your mettle. A delicate stare. My naked soul you bare. A delicate stare. My naked soul you bare.

Leave. Leave me alone. I can’t take the intensity of what you want me to be. Run. Running away. Steal from the world, To a place unseen, unheard. Always stir the clouds out of the coffee Keep your heart under lock and key. Oh, there’s method in the madness, cause all i wanted was a simple kind of life. Oh, there’s something in the sadness, that leaves me wanting for a simple kind of life. Leave. Don't leave me forlorn. i’m done being broken i’ll keep my hands in my pockets, hands in my pockets.

A heart made of stone Warm to the touch but rest assure that it is broken in the core. A wheel beyond control It’s not an excuse but in reality an apology to the soul. Lost in their fracture habit come what may, they carve and chip away Oh i, never wanted it this way. Oh i, never wanted it this way. Maps tear to shreds Somewhere between the swamps and the bottom of a bottle lives regret Wheels turn or break, We all forget how much fearful wonder we do make. Lost in your fracture habit come what may, resist the weathering Oh i, never wanted it this way. Oh i, never wanted it this way.

What day is it? Maybe yesterday. A yesterday where shadows of the afternoon shift its weight in moody tantrums. A yesterday where my dependence on love’s fiction remains chronic. A yesterday where the forgotten forgets its form. A yesterday where paradoxes parade to prove it’s beauty ironic. A yesterday whispering to me secrets to a hidden map: i. Take pleasure in simple indulgences ii. Feed NOT feast on a healthy serving of self-loathing iii. Always stir the clouds out of the coffee iv. Desire for an endangered existence v. Live a story made for fables vi. And never forget to honour the sanctity of fruitful idleness. What day is it? Maybe yesterday.

I know i can live on my own, base my life on truth's foretold about me. You know i can see through your soul based on fables they've sold about you. Crawl into bed with me, dear Come, let me soak in your atmosphere. Who am i? When i'm with you i don't recognize this flesh that molds to suit you. I know i can turn away, base all my call on wisdom and logic. But you know that somehow i'd fray based on how my dependence of love is chronic Jump into the quarries, my dear Come, let me swim in your ocean of fears Who am i? When i'm with you I don't recognize / i can't reconcile this flesh that molds to suit you. / how this vessel accommodates to you All that survives is dust that moves All that survives if not me, not you. All that survives is dust that moves All that survives if not me, not you.

What do i know about forgiveness? I tread the surface for an answer. What do i know about forgiveness? When it’s a matter of survival. We are not, one in the same. It’s not my blood in your veins. Still water runs deep, Find me stricken in a state of sleep. Still water runs deep, Pride will be the death of you & me. You & me. What do i know about bitterness? I search the skies for an answer. What do i know about bitterness? When anger anchors down your secrets. We are not, one in the same. It’s not your blood in my veins.

about

Letters to Ubin, the mouse deer canters back to find her roots in nature, as she draws ideas from the raw appeal of Pulau Ubin in a four-month stay as part of a joint project with The Artists Village & National Arts Council. This new EP finds iNCH once again as musical nomad, reflecting on city life and the countryside, deflecting back and forth between the mechanical and analog worlds, and so inflecting Letters to Ubin with the music concrete that showcases the sounds and sights of the rustic Pulau Ubin. iNCH retrofits into her musical journey a missing digital forest now rediscovered, beckoning listeners to join her on an aural trek across the Pulau and harkening them to consider this: Come, take a pause, and contemplate fruitful idleness — this concept that is a rare, almost paradoxical commodity in the Singaporean economy of life.

iNCH Singapore

Pigeon holes aren’t really iNCH’s thing. Constantly pushing the definitions of artistry to new levels of discomfort, iNCH is never one to shy from opening up the doors of creation to vulnerability.
