Emma Bieniewicz—a troubadour of strings and song—cultivates a garden of sound that both wounds and heals.

The song’s landscape is painted with the gentle strokes of fingerpicked guitars, a canvas awash in hues of melancholy warmth.

Emma’s previous opus, The Winner, was but a prelude to this deeper dive into the waters of self-discovery.

In Stung Like A Bee, her lyrics are gossamer threads, delicately woven yet strong enough to bind the listener to her narrative.

Words flow like honey, sweet yet tinged with the bitterness of life’s inevitable stings. 

“Stung like a bee, hurting my tongue,” she sings, and we taste the ephemeral pain on our own lips.

Her voice, a vessel of fragile strength, carries these phrases aloft, letting them linger in the air like motes of dust in a sunbeam.

The song is a tapestry of contrasts, threads of fullness intertwined with emptiness. 

“You’re not so tough, I’m feeling full, Never fully fed,” she muses, capturing the paradox of a heart simultaneously brimming and bereft.

Images of mud-drawn lines and unravelling threads paint a world where every action seems to invite more chaos than order.

As the melody unfolds, it mirrors the ebb and flow of a restless mind.

Raw, visceral struggles surface in lines like “Cannibalistic chewing on my hands,” evoking the self-destructive nature of unchecked introspection.

The refrain “If not now then when” echoes like a heartbeat, a reminder of life’s relentless march.

Emma’s instrumentals are a river flowing beneath her words. Guitars ripple and eddy, while violin and viola currents add depth to the emotional waters.

The music swells and recedes, mirroring the tides of human experience.

Stung Like A Bee is a journey through the shadowlands of the soul, illuminated by Emma Bieniewicz’s artistry.

Her creation invites us to explore our own inner landscapes, to feel the ache and the beauty of existence in equal measure.

Like the lingering sensation of a bee’s sting, this melody imprints itself upon the listener, a beautiful reminder of our shared vulnerability and strength.

Emma Bieniewicz Stung like a bee Lyrics

Stung like a bee
Hurting my tongue
Travel too far to fix all the wrong 
Escape for a day and come back for a month
Check out every morning 
You’re not so tough 
You’re not so tough 

I’m feeling full 
Never fully fed 
Drag a stick through the mud
Pulling out a loose thread
An empty cup of water in the bathroom then bed
A sheet soaked right through to the floor making you colder and colder 
Until you’re mad

I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Time to think about all I want and what I don’t have 
Cannibalistic chewing on my hands
Nose dive, empty pool, landing fast 
Black out again 
The grass taking the wind
Feel better in your skin 
If not now then when
If not now then when
 

Must measure up
Go pick your fighter 
Tackling rocks and swallowing boulders
God, just lighten up
Like you’re supposed to light up
 

Fall down a hill
Legs bending backwards
Breaking my back trying to prove all that I’m worth
Left the feather floating too close to the sun
Burning up all I worked for 
Left out for the kill with the dog
The house torn down and gone

And I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Time to think about all I want and what I don’t have 
Cannibalistic chewing on my hands
Nose dive, empty pool, landing fast 
Black out again 
The grass taking the wind
Feel better in your skin 
If not now then when
If not now then when
