About This Track

'Anyways' by Elmiene is a 2024 R&B/Soul track from the album 'Anyway I Can'. Its lyrics move through sleepless nights and the passage of time, balancing exhaustion with a reaching, conversational address that turns on the refrain “But anyway, how've you been”. The perspective is intimate and slightly weary, yet it keeps returning to the idea that endings arrive, and then, stubbornly, carry on. The vocal delivery leans into repetition and breathy interjections, reinforcing the loop of thought between dark, drift, and a new light.

"Anyways" is a track by Elmiene, from the album Anyway I Can, released 24th October 2024. The track is 2:57 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Elmiene.

Lyrics

Anyways

Hm, hm
Ain't had much sleep, seen snow in springtime
Run out of lives, met with a sunrise
I, I know all things come to an end
But anyway, how've you been?
Hm, hm

Cross through the night, bathed in my lost time
Days, they pass by, up for a lifetime
Know, I know, someday, our song will begin
But anyways, how've you been?

Oh
Anyways, how've you been?
Oh
Anyways, how've you been?

Awake in my mind, I've thrown my last dice
Hope in this try, I'll catch the last tide
I, I hear, I feel, the encore will ring
But anyways, how've you been?

Oh
But anyways, how've you been?
Oh
Anyways, how've you been?

Oh (oh-ah)
Anyways, how've you been?
Oh (ooh, how've you been?)
Anyways, how've you been? (How've you been, my babe?)

Oh
Anyways, how've you been?
Oh
Anyways, how've you been?
