The making of this song and video would not have been possible without the tremendous support of my wonderful Patreon community; those whose names appear in the thank you-list at the end of this video, those who wish to remain anonymous, as well as Olivier GT who doesn’t appear in the thank you- list even though he entered his name twice. We can only assume monster Frank turned his name into a plant.
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
Thank you lovely lady ! This is helpful! Have a great day
Its incredible wow
Thanks for the translation! Awesome work..I loved the music and the cinematography! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Beautiful Voice 🎤❤️👋
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.
I want a whole movie of this
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!!
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!
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.
Don't give me any ideas :P
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) 🤔😊💖
@@CharlotteWesselsOfficial maybe some Afkicken lore then?? 👀
@@CharlotteWesselsOfficial🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 We need a movie still, we’ve waited so patiently 😉
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!
This has Suspiria and Midsommar vibes and I love it!
PLEASE MORE SONGS LIKE THIS!!!!!

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.
