"A Smile That Lies" is more than just a song – it’s a glimpse into what depression feels like. Behind the smile there’s a weight, an emptiness that words often fail to capture. This track was written to raise awareness and to give a voice to those silent struggles, blending raw emotion with haunting melodies.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]  
I run in circles, trapped inside my head,  
rewind the same regrets until I’m spent.  
The clock moves on but I stay in my bed,  
every second feels like punishment.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I want to rise, I want to change,  
but I’m paralyzed, locked in this cage.  
The days collapse, they slip away,  
while I just fade in slow decay.  

[Chorus]  
I’m a flawless actor, with a smile that lies,  
laughing for the crowd while my spirit dies.  
You see the colors painted on my face,  
but inside it’s empty—only endless space.  

[Verse 2]  
Thoughts like spirals, spinning without end,  
a thousand miles and never one real step.  
It’s heavier than any race I’ve ran,  
just breathing leaves me out of breath.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I want to move, I want to care,  
but my hands hang useless in the air.  
The hours bleed, they disappear,  
I vanish quietly year by year.  

[Chorus]  
I’m a flawless actor, with a smile that lies,  
laughing for the crowd while my spirit dies.  
You see the sunlight shining in my eyes,  
but inside it’s darkness, where the silence cries.  

[Bridge]  
Can you see the mask I wear?  
Can you hear the hollow stare?  
I play the part, the world believes…  
but behind the curtain, I can’t breathe.  

[Final Chorus]  
I’m a flawless actor, with a smile that lies,  
laughing for the crowd while my spirit dies.  
You see the laughter, but it’s just disguise—  
inside I’m drowning, nothing left alive.  

[Outro]

All Those Years

Text:
Intro (spoken, soft female voice):
“Hey Kim, I heard you doubt the Moon…
So let me tell you a story —
About courage, silence, and dust that remembers.”

Verse 1 (sung)
They reached for the Moon,
Not for fame, not for a show,
Just to prove we could rise,
Higher than we ever thought we’d go.

Chorus
They left their hearts in the stars,
Their footprints in the glow —
No filter, no fake light,
Just the truth we’ll never outgrow.

(solo)

Verse 2
Six times they flew,
Twenty-two dreams came true,
The world watched in awe,
Then turned its eyes away too soon.

Bridge (spoken)
Money spoke louder than wonder,
But wonder still whispers from the Sea of Tranquility.
So next time you scroll —
Look up. The universe is waiting.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Make-up fades, but stars remain —
They don’t need likes,
They just shine.

Outro (spoken)
The last footprints still wait,
Untouched by wind or rain —
Maybe that’s the truest story we ever told.

The Last Footprints

Midnight sparks

2025, Album "Retrospective Journey" 2026; THX Selin, Lyrics: Y. Frömme

Between sun and sea

Let the Homeless choke

Deine Art

Verse 1
I’ve been wearing borrowed faces
Trading truths for quiet rooms
Every mirror’s got opinions
Every silence has a wound
I swallow thoughts I shouldn’t
Just to keep the peace intact
But the person that you’re holding
Is a fading artifact

Pre-Chorus
I’m tired of folding into shapes that never fit
I’m tired of shrinking just to say I exist

Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I could
Pretend to be if I rehearsed
Every line, every word
I don’t want to change my voice
Just to give you what you want
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’m not

Verse 2
I’ve been living half awake
Second-guessing every breath
Translating my own heartbeat
Like it’s coded in regret
I’ve apologized for breathing
For my history, for my name
Walked on coals to earn affection
Burned myself but still no flame

Pre-Chorus
I’m tired of holding up a mask that never stays
I’m tired of acting like I like the empty praise

Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I could
Pretend to be if I rehearsed
Every line, every word
I don’t want to change my voice
Just to give you what you want
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’m not

Bridge
If I show you the scars
Will you still stay?
If I tell you my fears
Will you look away?
If I stop trying so hard
Will I still matter?
Or will I disappear
Like broken chatter?

Breakdown
No more mirrors, no more lies
Let the masked version of me finally die

Final Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who you think I should
I can’t fake another smile
I can’t live another trial
I don’t want to play pretend
Just to feel relevant
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’ve been

Outro
Let me breathe, let me speak
Let me stay if I’m weak
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am
That’s enough
That’s enough

For Who I Am
