Faith Marie [Singer- / Songwriter]

Faith Marie wurde am 1. Oktober 1998 in Memphis, TN geboren. Quelle: Everybodywiki

Entdeckt habe ich diese überragende³ Songwriterin durch ihr Bring Me The Horizon - Drown - Cover auf YouTube.

Aber ihre eigenen Songs sind nochmals um einiges "besser". Wobei besser der vollkommen falsche Begriff ist. Ich war -geflashed-:
Abgesehen von der tollen musikalischen Umsetzung, ist gerade er Aspekt, was sie lyrisch [vor allem zu dem Zeitpunkt als sie teilweise erst im Alter von 16/17 Jahren war!] und damit auch persönlich zum Ausdruck bringt einfach nur unfassbar. Ihre Fähigkeit der (offenen) Selbst-Reflexion, gepaart mit ihrer Fähigkeit diese lyrisch und zusätzlich auch noch musikalisch auszudrücken, machen sie zu einem dieser Menschen, die man gerne treffen würde, um sich mit ihnen zu unterhalten, um danach sich selbst und die Welt besser verstehen zu können.

Auch wenn das wohl nie passieren wird, gibt sie einem mit ihrer Musik die Möglichkeit indirekt mit ihr und viel mehr mit sich selbst in den Dialog treten zu können:

Starten wir mit dem ersten Song, den ich von ihr - nach dem Cover - gehört habe, mit einigen Lyrics, die inhaltlich selbst erklärend sein dürften [Anmerkung: Die Musik-Videos sind ebenfalls klasse!] :

Zitat

I play russian rullet with my sleep every night

Collecting more wrinkles underneath my eyes

If only I could tell you how much I love

The pain and the struggle

I’m addicted to the sorrow

[...]

God really likes to test me

But the way I like to see it is

More material

Feeling low

Taking scraps from destruction

Building me up again

Sculpted with melodies carved in the crevices

But I stand alone

Only to admire

Never to touch

Reach out with my hands

But it never connects

I’m a complicated mess that i’ve come to accept

So go ahead and disappoint me

I’ll always feel isolated and lonely

It’s part of being a show piece

I’m addicted to the artistry
[...]

CHORUS

I’m hanging up in a room full of silence

Bleeding colors from the pain and the violence

Don’t i look so beautiful..ly tragic

I’m hanging up like a dying bouquet

Drying out like a half eaten pastry

Don’t I look so beautiful..ly tragic

I’m addicted to the gallery

I’m an addict i’m an addict of the gallery

[...]

Friends and family wonder what happened to me

Constantly asking me do you think your happy?

No

I’m not

But i’m happy to know the worse that I feel the more that I grow

Migraines and bad days

Madness and caffeine

I welcome you with open arms and a handful of advil

It’s hard to win it all

But i’ll never settle for less

They say to live in the present but it’s too hard to digest

So I live for the future

And for who i’ll become

But i’d be lying if I said i’m not afraid of her now

I think she wants to destroy me

Piece by piece

But man I can’t wait to meet her

She sounds just like poetry

Every inch of me is aching

Knowing there’s a space awaiting

For me to fill

In a gallery for bigger things

I’m getting slightly claustrophobic

Too big for the frame that’s holding

All I can be

I want to roam

Free

Zitat

(First Verse)

I start this off staring at a blank page

An open office document

A blinking cursor

Passing days

Without a single word

Some say it's absurd

Like I float along a stream of words unsaid

Choosing not to cast my net

But I spend so long questioning myself

If this isn't right

Then does that mean I failed?

Will my melodies ever live up

Will my metaphors be profound enough

Will I ever outdo myself

The ceiling gets higher and higher

It's harder and harder to shatter

And when I fall

I fall worse than I ever did before

Evaluating the damage no I just don't understand it

Conflicted my the very air I breathe

A love with hatred laced between

(Pre-Chorus)

You can see it in my eyes

A child's spark light up the night

Constant search for approval

Suffocated by refusal

Devouring my skull

But never feeling full

(Chorus)

Oh dear I don't wanna be a burden

But could you please be a little more concerned with

The overactive mind of a believer

The toxic thoughts of an overachiever

Oh dear if only you could feel it

The crippling fear of being deserted

You can't touch the heat of this fever

The toxic thoughts of an overachiever

(Second Verse)

[...]

I'm sick of waiting for the day

That courage overtakes my brain

For someone to say it's ok

I've lived my whole life afraid

It's time for me to be brave

To embrace a forest

That's so dark and unknown

Because no great adventurer has a paved path to roam

They pave as they go

Disappointed faces leaving poisoned bread crumb traces

I'm not taking the bait

Let them rot in their place

(Pre-Chorus)

I deserve to be alright

I deserve to sleep at night

I'm my closest friend

I remind myself again

Better treat her well

Cuz she's with me till the end

[...]

Sometimes I forget the feeling

Of every single nerve tingling

Better than any lovers’ touch

I've created tears of pain and burns of lust

I've created a forest a safe place for myself that others have found

Some attempt to destroy and others feed the ground

Fertilize my mind with melodies and rhymes

A sorcerer of time take you back to the night

When you pondered your death when somebody left when you lie away broken cause your head is unkept and let me remind you

That everything is temporary

You and I are temporary

And this feeling that's so scary

Someday you'll realize that thoughts so heavy

Don't mean you're unsteady

But that you're only getting ready to say nice to meet you to somebody you never knew

You

Zitat

My friends always tell me I get carried away

Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz I have so much to say

They don't seem to hear me but I guess it's ok

It's not their fault my minds working overtime with no pay

They always say the same things and it's starting to get old

That my head can't get sick

It can't catch a cold

I scratch and I pick

My insecurities poke

My fears, my anxiety, a voice that provokes

Take a walk, clear your head, breathe in count to ten

Cuz on first page of life written in red

You'll never make it here if you don't learn how to bend

Don't speak unless you're spoken to little girl

Someday you will find your place in the world

But ladies don't get dirty

Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space

With empty faith

Everyday feels like a battle and I always get hurt

I was frequently told violence was never the answer

But life doesn't abide by the rules of a child

I don't know how to fight only taught how to surrender

There's a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping

It usually takes you right before you are sleeping

Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep in?

Or the crack in your brain that wants you to drop dead

I don't remember what it's like to see with clear vision

I awake every morning like the dead has arisen

I don't have to think this body of mine is a prison

You don't control me I just gotta find the light switch

But the more that I look the further I get

You're the only thing about me that needs to be fixed

Cuz on the first page of life written in fine print

Stop looking for light live it instead

My mind is a mess but I love it none the less

They tell me to hush but my words are all that's left

So on the last page of life written in gold

Don't waste it always doing what you're told

Zitat

Finding refuge in my own lies

How are you I'm doing alright

Small talk is a great disguise

Just let me be just let me be

Empty thoughts start to crowd my mind

Am I only living to survive?

Shake it off but I've lost the drive

Just let me be just let me

Just let me be okay

No one knows what goes on up inside my head

There's a new kind of poison and it's starting to spread

No one knows what goes on up inside my head

They don't think I need help

But I'm scaring myself

I just want to be ok (x2)

All the voices in my head come to life

They're getting louder and I'm terrified

How do you run from your own mind?

Is this what I've become?

Take it back what have I done

No one knows what goes on up inside my head

There is a new kind of poison and starting to spread

But I didn’t think the antidote was in my hands

I can change my plans I can change my plans

I tried to find my reflection on the glass

But all I ever saw were the things I lacked

All the smudges on the mirror make you go insane

All I ever thought I was

Was a mistake

Zitat

Beautiful silence

Beautiful pain

We're only human

We're meant to dream

Lost in a life full of mistakes

We do what feels right

Then fall with no grace

Chased by the sun

Escaping flatlines

Dreams are a curse

Wake up you're alive

Oh slowly fading from the misery

I've accepted who I'm supposed to be

I've accepted who I'm supposed to see

Lady in the mirror

Oh everyday I'm getting a bit older

And every time I break I get stronger

Everyday it's getting a bit colder

When I grow closer

To the devil on my shoulder

To the devil on my shoulder

Beautiful silence

Beautiful pain

Beautiful People

But we're all stained

Lost in a life

Full of mistakes

We do what feels right

Then we fall with no grace

Imma sinner

Imma tainted saint

Imma savior

Its all the same

Chased by the sun

Escaping flatlines

Dreams are a curse

Wake up you're alive

We're all broken it's fate

It's the way that we're made

All the pieces are there

They just aren't in there place

So I struggle to stand

But don't ask for a hand

My pride tells me no

You're better alone

I'm uncomfortably numb

As I stuff what I've found

And I start to shut down

Freeze in front of a crowd

It's what I don't say

I don't love I don't hate

Closing my mouth and turning my face

But it's no way to live to have nothing to give

Consuming the doubt

Not letting them in

But I'm not here to win

To survive but I'm already dead

So I picked up my head

Zitat

Will they understand?

It’s the question of a lifetime

Tryna find the right words

But what if they don’t care?

Never mind

Dealt with it myself

Hiding in the bathroom

Wearing long sleeve shirts

Scared of what I might do

Never mind

(Chorus)

No one seems to hear you till you’re loud

Then they call you crazy

Then they call you crazy

Quietly I battle with myself

Days are getting hazy

Days are getting hazy

No one seems notice when you’re down

Unless you are bleeding

Unless you are bleeding

But sometimes the worst wounds are the ones

Are the ones you can’t see

Are the ones you can’t see
[...]

Do they understand?

I’m begging for an ally

Think I’m just confused

Blow it off it’s nothing new

Never mind

Little do they know

The murder of my right brain

It still has me grieving

Take these pills for sleeping

[...]

If life is but a dream flowing gently down the stream

Then I’m caught in the rapids leaking boats and broken things

Merrily merrily swimming towards the shore

A voice they said was harmless only threw me overboard

If life is but a dream

Nothing but a dream

Then I just wanna smile wanna smile in my sleep

Merrily merrily nightmares all the time

No one hears the screams

Just wave as I float by

Row row row your boat gently down the stream

Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream x2
