📜Excerpt from Words to Think or to Sing

S T A I R C A S E

I saw red while you held my hand

on that hill in a castle of sand

being nice, coming out of the blue

you were losing me, undeniably true

I was just another trophy for your shelf

overloaded by the further rusty twelve

Dissociating from this charming place

you are a mess inside, I know it’s the case

this romance had better leave no trace

but at sunset we sat here on the staircase

THE HIGHER THE STAIRCASE, THE CLEARER THE VIEW.

Top 10 Writing Topics — Not in Strict Priority Order

1. Self-Reflection
   The more we are present, the more we acknowledge, the more we are inspired.

2. Growth
   You live, you learn, you change. Is it scary? Yes. Can we make it easier to deal with through art? Sure.

3. Relationships
   Impulses that echo between heartfelt moments and experiences to better let go.

4. Empowerment
   Tuneful mantras to whisper softly or shout out at the top of our lungs. Either way, we got it and we deserve it.

5. Clarity
   Sometimes, it used to scare me. Now I just write and sing about it.

6. Motivation
   Songs that feel like after a meaningful conversation with a good friend, because music is a companion for life.

7. Humor
   When things hit hard, we can soften them through a little bit of irony and a truly meant smile.

8. Love
   A feeling with so many facets — whether self-care, romance, unspoken, or unrequited.

9. Passion
   Without it, a lot of things would feel more like torture. What would we be driven by otherwise?

10. Resonance
    The gentle yet strong connection we find in words and tunes when we truly feel them and make them our own.

Intensia continues:

For instance, in “Cocoon,” page 47 of the book, you will encounter self-reflection, growth, relationships, resonance, and love wrapped in the story of a butterfly about to slip out from her shelter, experiencing life in a new way… Minimalistic, consciously chosen words with a precise, intentional message… The most important meaning is what people give to the lines themselves.

There is no greater feeling as a songwriter than when someone says: “This text sounds like it was written exactly for me.”

If these themes resonate with you, Intensia invites you to explore her book and her ongoing artistic journey on Substack — where lyric excerpts slowly transform into full cinematic pop songs.
