Panic in Paradise

Panic in Paradise (Clean Version)

Living with poor mental health is like having the worst room mate in the world and they don't pay rent. In fact, they steal your rent money. "Psychosomatica" is about living with that roommate, feeling like you're spiraling while no one believes you, not even the people who say they can cure you. This song is about critiquing that fact; about how medicine and medical professionals continue to fail us. I'm taking the mick out of my own poor mental health and being able to have fun with it because if I can’t do that, then what’s the point? It’s up beat, it’s as serious or unserious as you want it to be, and what can I say, it’s fun to sing.

Lyrics:

My therapists don't believe me
When I ask for relief they release me
And I cry, as I try to explain myself
Then the tears dry, I smile and refrain myself
So I'll keep this conversation between
Me myself and I

Cos I'm tethered to the leather of a scrawny skeleton
Got a snake in my stomach that don’t wanna be fed
Living lies with limes within my eyes
they've surmised it's a ploy or a game of some kind

My therapists don't believe me
When I ask for relief they release me
And I cry, as I try to explain myself
Then the tears dry, I smile and refrain myself
So I'll keep this conversation between
Me myself and I

Now my friends, I doubt they get me
They just think that this wreckhead’s just - funny 
Coz I hide behind a smile and a joke
As I smoke till I’m high, and I drink till I’m broke

My therapists don't believe me
When I ask for relief they release me
And I cry, as I try to explain myself
Then the tears dry, I smile and refrain myself
So I'll keep this conversation between
Me myself and I

I can’t bare to think
What they think of me
So I keep it to myself now
But I dread to think 
Who else like me
is falling through the cracks somehow
I call - upon my agony aunts;
There’s three, it’s free
Yeh me myself and I 

My therapists don't believe me
When I ask for relief they release me
And I cry, as I try to explain myself
Then the tears dry, I smile and refrain myself
So I'll keep this conversation between
Me myself and I

Me Myself & I

Worthing born, Ksenia Lewis is inspired by artists ranging from Paramore, Imagine Dragons, ONE OK ROCK, Linkin Park, Cassyette.  Her background in acting and a love for movies and musical theatre have enabled Ksenia to create a powerful artistic persona that many online are championing as the next big artist to watch out for.



Ksenia’s sound consists of a powerful soundscape encapsulating essences of power pop, rock and synthwave with nuances of neo-goth and industrial elements which marries in with her theatrical live performances.  The songs were built for stadiums; huge anthemic hooks and powerful arrangements that are pulled off live by her experienced rock band. Her lyrical themes are unique, layered, yet universal and relatable as the comments on social media attest to; Ksenia does not shy away from the darker lyrical themes and expresses them in refreshing and honest ways that has earnt her a very committed and passionate fan base, most of which, demand her lyrics in the comments section of social media posts for them to read through and to dig deeper into.



Ksenia has been working with ‘Megaphonic’ Producers, Paul Lennox and Greg Gordon since 2020 when she signed to indie record label, DareDream Records, and although delayed by the pandemic, Ksenia released five singles within her first publicly active year (2022 - 2023); all of which received huge acclaim upon release, and substantial support and radio play via BBC introducing which also included BBC Radio 1 play!  She also released alternative versions and remixes of these songs as well as some cover versions of Disney songs that were reconceptualised in her classic dark, ‘villainesque’ style, some of which went viral on TikTok.  She has built a strong following through social media and amassed 1 million streams on Spotify alone, within her first year of releasing music.
