Nobody’s Princess

Written by: FEHRA, Ruyi Jiang

Verse  
When no one’s here to see me so low
I can almost see a ghost 
You can’t see it 
But I’m totally aching 

I’m too young and I never learn 
Now my throne is overturned
Where are my soldiers?
I am an outlaw now 

Chorus 
Everytime I’m in the light 
It’s almost like I see the darkness 
Crawling there behind the curtains
I try to kill the heartache but it still 
leads me to the end of the lane 
Back to my forgotten palace 
I’m nobody’s princess

Verse 
Don’t you know every time I cry
Tears are real and the salt don’t die 
My kingdom fell 
But I’m totally breathing fine

I gathered all the salt to summon 
The lords of thunder and
The demons once that pushed me further in 

Chorus
Everytime I’m in the light 
It’s almost like I see the darkness 
Crawling there behind the curtains
I don’t wanna steal but if it’s real then
Lead me to the end of the lane 
Back to my forgotten palace 
I am nobody’s princess

Bridge 
And I’m still on a journey 
Tracing my coronation call
from the other side of the universe 
I will forge myself a sword and urge 
The bravest knights to rise from the river 

Chorus
Everytime I’m in the light 
It’s almost like I’ve seen the darkness 
Cause I will be the next empire’s witness
Let your instincts lead the way 
I’ve seen enough smokey days
I’ll be standing in the holy rays
It’s like I’ve never seen the darkness 
Lead me to the end of the lane 
Back to my forgotten palace 
Where I was once nobody’s princess

Fehra - Oh Mystery (sped-up).wav

As a singer/songwriter who works in a similar dark, emotive pop milieu as Lorde, AURORA and Birdy, Fehra Dorian is certainly in the league of similar angelic female vocalists who owns an ethereal voice. She projects raw authenticity in everything she does. The lyrics she writes are poetic, epiphanic, sometimes even dramatic with specific stories to tell.  Fehra can be melancholic and chilled, a friend who takes you on a walk in the winter woods; but also dark and cynical, a critic who rejects anybody who tries to get close to her. This might seem contradictory but in her case it is totally appropriate. 

Compared to the naive girl who once made a 12-track compilation with songs she wrote for an unrequited love and sent it to the boy, richer in sound and experience, the current Fehra finds a voice that is wider, more mature and diverse than the teenage love longings. Her love for poetry, high fantasy legends of Tolkien and C.S Lewis is inspiring more and more dark dramatic twists in her music.
