Lyrics:
[Verse 1 - 1st part]
You used to hold me like the world might end…
But I was drowning while you played pretend.
I've called your name a thousand times
But you weren't there to dry my eyes

[Verse 1 - 2nd part]
Now you say I haunt you like I never left
But I was fading, broken and bereft
When I would cry, you would not see.
You only miss a fantasy! 


[Pre-Chorus 1] 
Like a wizzard with a mirror, scrying in the dark
You're trying to revive a love that fell apart  
But baby you loved just the idea of me
And never who I tried to be


[Chorus 1]
You still see me
I've set you free
Started anew 
I don't see you


[Verse 2]
You said I changed, but never asked me why
I withered waiting for a softer sky
And I would shrink to fit your mould
Till there was nothing left to hold.


[Pre-Chorus 2] 
You're chasing a light you were never meant to keep
And left the real me burried in the deep
You loved a dream that you built inside your mind
But not the girl you left behind


[Chorus 2]
You still see me
I've set you free
Started anew 
I don't see you

(repeat)

You Still See Me (with Spektralfarben)

"Who Do You Think You Are?" is a song about peeling away all the labels, roles, and expectations we’re taught to identify with — family, work, possessions, ego, even the body itself. At its core, the message is simple: you are not what the world says you are. Beyond names, titles, and illusions, you are love, light, truth, and freedom. This track is a reminder to look deeper, to remember your true essence, and to shine as the star you already are.

Lyrics:

Who Do You Think You Are?

[Verse 1] 
You’re not your past, not your family name 
Not your street, your roots, or your claim to fame 
Not your skin, your flag, or the place you pray 
Not the rules you were taught, or the prices you pay 

[Verse 2] 
You’re not your title, not your nine-to-five 
Not your resume or the car you drive 
Not the clothes you wear or the house where you sleep 
Not the gold on your wrist or the secrets you keep 

[Pre-Chorus] 
You are not what you think you are 
You are not what others think 

[Refrain] 
You are love, eternity 
You are light, infinity 
You are truth, original flame 
Joy, peace, soul — you have no name 
You are real, you are free, 
You’re exactly who you’re meant to be 

[Verse 3] 
You’re not your body, not your highs or lows 
Not your sickness or the pain that grows 
Not your failures or the fears you hide 
Not the voice of your ego pulling you aside 

[Verse 4] 
You’re not your timeline or your ticking age 
Not the numbers written on a worldly page 
You’re not the trends, not the masks you wear 
You’re not the silence when no one cares 

[Pre-Chorus] 

[Refrain] 

[Bridge] 
You are the witness, the spark, the fire 
The breath behind every deep desire 
You are the stillness behind the storm 
The endless sky, the unborn form 

[Refrain] 

[Outro] 
So who do you think you are? Look again — you are the star

Who do you think you are?

Feed the Darkness - A hymn for the shadow within.
This song dives into the parts of ourselves we’re taught to hide — the chaos, the pain, the mystery — and finds beauty there. It’s not about fear. It’s about integration. Because even the shadows deserve to be heard.
A sad-girl-meets-Goth reflection on the beauty of darkness. We embraces the ache, the mystery, and the quiet strength that lives in the dark. It’s about becoming whole. Let the night sing back to you.
Can you tell which horror show inspired the intro vocalization?

Feed the darkness

[Verse 1]
Oh my darling
I like the pretty little dark things
It‘s something I have always quite enjoyed
I‘m wondering what moves and drives them
And is there light behind it all?

[Bridge]
I need to see the darkness, feel it
It’s almost like I need my darkness fix
It calms me down and soothes my feelings
When I'm lost in my mind’s old tricks

[Chorus]
And you must always feed your darkness
Or it will surely feed on you
I know it very well, my darling
For there is darkness in me, too.

Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

[Verse 2]
Oh my darling,
You're such a pretty little dark thing
You make my withered heart just skip a beat
Been staring at the sun too long now
So I deserve a little treat

[Bridge]
Now let me feel the darkness, taste it
Come over here, my little darkness fix
You calm me down and sooth my feelings
With just one look I am transfixed

[Chorus]
And you must always feed your darkness
Or it will surely feed on you
I know it very well, my darling
For there is darkness in me, too.

[Outro]
Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

Feed the Darkness
