LYRICS:

i want to write like Sufjan Stevens
make em cry with a mandolin
sing a song in a tongue I don’t speak with
get it down with a silver tipped pen

i want to fight like old King Henry
lose a knife in my enemies throat
see a horse as a thing I gotta break in
win a war, take an oath

find a girl who dont wanna be Khaleesi
i can tell you she’s a liar right there
nothing hotter than a mad kings daughter
who is smarter than her father
with that ice white hair

can I rise from the grave like Lazarus
wanna know what it’s like to be dead
let me see who’ll be crying at my funeral
wonder who’ll be laughing
who’ll be happy that i left

me me me myself myself and lies
oh so troubled gemini
i could change my face a hundred times
oh so troubled gemini

I could walk through the village like Hester
turning heads, dripping wet with sin
cause I would rather live my life with a proud loud letter
be a whore than a bore with the puritans

maybe I could be the same as Samwise
i don’t have to be the hero in the end
share in all the pain, and the struggle and the worry,
but the end of every story, give the glory to a friend

me me me myself myself and lies
oh so troubled gemini
i could change my face a hundred times
oh so troubled gemini

i could make you love me oh depending who i choose
make it easy living no identity to lose

me me me myself myself and lies
oh so troubled gemini
i could change my face a hundred times
oh so troubled gemini

Sufjan Stevens

LYRICS:
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 
WINDOWS IN THE WAY BACK DOWN 
IM PRETENDING THAT I’M LAID BACK NOW
BUT EVERYTHING I DO I STILL HEAR OF YOU 
IS IT TRUE 
POPPING EVERY ADDERALL THAT YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON 

CALLED YOUR DAD AND HE CHECKED YA INTO REHAB
KINDA SAD THAT YOU’RE BETTER WHEN YOU’RE BAD, 
YOU’RE LEANING ON YOUR FRIENDS, BUT THEY’RE PAPER THIN,
I RUN INTO THEM, EVERY NOW AND THEN, 
TOLD ME THAT YOU RELAPSE 

AYE GOTTA FEEL GOOD
OH IT’S GOTTA FEEL SO GREAT 
AYE BURNING EM ALL 
CUT EM OUT FOR YOUR MISTAKES 
AYE GOTTA FEEL GOOD
YOU LIKE THE WAY THAT IT TASTES 
NOW YOU GOTTA CHANGE YOUR CROWD 
SO YOU DON’T GOTTA CHANGE YOUR WAYS 

HIGH TURNOVER RATE 

SORTING THROUGH THE SHIT YOU DID WITH YOUR THERAPIST,
LYING IN YOUR MARTYRDOM,
PICKED THE HILL YOU’RE DYING ON, 
RIPPING OUT THE PAGE, BUT YOUR CHARMING LIKE A PARASITE, 
REEL EM IN, DRY THE WELL, BLEED EM OUT, 
WHAT’S IT LIKE, 

BARELY BUYING IN MEANS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE A NET LOSS, 
PEOPLE ARE COLLATERAL, HISTORY A SUNK COST, 
SPEAKING AS A CHESS PIECE, 
FORMER LOVER, EX PAWN,
EVERYONE AGREES LIFE IS BETTER WITH MY EX GONE 

AYE GOTTA FEEL GOOD
OH IT’S GOTTA FEEL SO GREAT 
AYE BURNING EM ALL 
CUT EM OUT FOR YOUR MISTAKES 
AYE GOTTA FEEL GOOD
YOU LIKE THE WAY THAT IT TASTES 
NOW YOU GOTTA CHANGE YOUR CROWD 
SO YOU DON’T GOTTA CHANGE YOUR WAYS

LYRICS:

sometimes I sit 
alone and weep 
for things that have
been done to me

If that seems strange 
that must be nice 
Naivety 
Dont cut like knives 

I know he won’t 
be nice to me 
a difference in 
morality 

A word like wrong 
A thing like “right”
are meaningless 
to certain minds

Everybody’s just somebody’s ex lover  
Everyone is just some old “no other” 
we overcomplicate things then suffer 
all it is is sex with your next ex lover

we do the same exact shit with new meaning
now we’re dying by love, when it’s just feelings 
you should take my advice, don’t suffer 
settle for the sex with your next ex lover 

in Hollywood 
they sell that dream 
the one we raise our children
to believe 

The love they fake
on movie screens 
Wont choke your soul
Then make it scream 
like the real thing 

Everybody’s just somebody’s ex lover  
Everyone is just some old “no other” 
we overcomplicate things then suffer 
all it is is sex with your next ex lover

we do the same exact shit with a new meaning 
now we’re dying by love, when it’s just feelings 
you should take my advice, don’t suffer 
settle for the sex with your next ex lover 

somebody hurt me 
so I’m hurting somebody else 
in a cycle when you’re in there’s no getting help
Well he hurt me so I’m hurting somebody else, I’m hurting somebody else

Ex Lover

LYRICS:
I should be scared of dying young 
But it might be nice to end in incomplete potential  
And I’ll just keep it to myself 
cause honesty has long been deemed so non essential 

I’m losing my mind 
Call me the doctor 
Write me a new one
every morning and night 
Take the round little blue one 

Bury me in white 
when the reaper needs a bride 

It might be peaceful in a grave 
Slowly erased away 
Impermanent like pencil 
A hundred years you’re in the ground 
sorting through everything 
that once seemed consequential 

I’m losing my mind 
Call me the doctor 
Write me a new one
every morning snd night 
Take me a bite of the round little blue one 

Bury me in white 
when the reaper needs a bride 

I’m haunted by all that I’ve wanted yeah 
I’m haunted
I’m haunted 

Bury me in white 
gold over my eyes 
I’m breathing till I die 
tell me why do I? 
When the reaper needs a bride

Bride

No One Else Alive

NAME IT LOVE 
BUT WE’LL NEVER KNOW
IS THERE ANOTHER WORD 
THAT MEANS 
SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS

EXTRADORINARY 
THAT OTHER SOUL 
HOW IT SHATTERS YOU 
HOW IT MAKES YOU WHOLE AGAIN

I HAVE TASTED THE 
BLOOD YOU BLEED
IT IS FULL OF IRON 
AND FULL OF ME

OH AND WHEN YOU HEAR MY BREATH 
RATTLING 
KISS ME ONCE FOR DEATH
AND TWICE FOR ME

LET ME BE YOUR PRAYER YOUR VIRTUE
IF YOU LEAVE ME, LET ME GRIEVE YOU 
SWEETEST LOVE IS THE LOVE WE TAKE
ILL HOLD YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

WILL YOU BURY ME
UNDER SNOW
WHEN YOUR LORD ABOVE
LOSES HOLD ON ME

I FIND DARKNESS SO
COMFORTING 
IT HIDES THE SHADOWS 
I️ BEG NOT TO SEE AGAIN

LET ME BE YOUR PRAYER YOUR VIRTUE
IF YOU LEAVE ME, LET ME GRIEVE YOU 
SWEETEST LOVE IS THE LOVE WE TAKE
ILL HOLD YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

I WANNA BE FINE
BUT YOU STILL LIVE IN MY MIND
WONT HOLD MY BREATHE OH NO
I BET ITS GUNNA BE AWHILE

STILL I FEEL YOU TAKE MY HANDS
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IM STANDING HERE ALONE 
AND I HEAR YOUR LIPS WHISPER MY NAME 
WHEN THE ONLY VOICE IS HERE IS MINE 

CANT SEEM TO GET ANY PEACE
WITH YOU ALWAYS FOLLOWING ME 
FROM EVERYDAY INTO THE NIGHT 
I SWEAR YOU HEAR ME CRY

GIVE ME NO REASON TO HOPE 
THAT YOU’RE EVER LETTING ME GO
AND WITH NOWHERE LEFT I CAN HIDE 
IM SICK IM TIRED

GRIT MY TEETH
CLOSE MY THROAT IM KEEPING QUIET
FEEL YOU SHADOWING

ON MY KNEES 
NO SALVATION FOR THE SILENT
YOU WILL COME FOR ME 

JUST TAKE ME ALIVE 
HONESTLY MY LIFE’S NO LONGER MINE 
FOR YEARS YOU SETTLED INTO MY BONES 
YOU’LL STAY THERE TILL I DIE 

CANT SEEM TO GET ANY PEACE
WITH YOU ALWAYS FOLLOWING ME 
FROM EVERYDAY INTO THE NIGHT 
I SWEAR YOU HEAR ME CRY

GIVE ME NO REASON TO HOPE

**LYRICS**
I would lose so much if I lost you 
I can’t seem to make up my mind 
swear you’re back to see if you can break me 
and you will this time 

rip me off and give that blank stare
I’m not seeing much in your eyes 
leave me here to sit in this darkness 
I’ll be just fine 

they can tell I’m going insane
is there another way you would say it 
and i think that i could finally die 
cause now i know, all it is to feel alive 

you won’t let me out of this nightmare
cut me down the second i stand
i feel shame for everything i let go
my blood my hands

no one sees the end when they’re not there
I’m not sure that i would see mine
on my hands and knees and you don’t hear me 
cause you’re not that kind

they can tell I’m going insane
is there another way you would say it 
and i think that i could finally die 
cause now i know, all it is to feel alive

Alive

YOU SAID YOU DONT BELIEVE ME
SAID IM OUT OF MY MIND
NOW IM ONLY SEEING THAT YOURE OUT OF YOURS

I FEEL DIRTY WHEN I SEE YOU
LIVING IN MY SKIN, I NEVER SEEM TO CLAW YOU OUT
SCRATCH MY BACK UNTIL ITS RED RAW
PEEL YOU OFF, THROW YOU ON THE GROUND

NO ONE SAID FALLING OUT OF LOVE IS LIKE HALLUCINATING
WHEN GOING DOWN CAN TRIP YOU UP
UNHOLY INFESTATION
I HEAR YOUR WORDS, FEEL YOUR TOUCH
SWARMING ALL AROUND ME
THEYRE CRAWLING LIKE BUGS

TAUGHT ME QUICK ON HOW TO FEAR
ADRENALINE, IVE NEVER BEEN A COWARD
SLEEPER CELL SHADOW IN MY BEDROOM
OH GOD HE'S GUNNA KILL ME IN THE SHOWER
OH GOD KILL ME IN THE SHOWER

NO ONE SAID FALLING OUT OF LOVE IS LIKE HALLUCINATING
WHEN GOING DOWN CAN TRIP YOU UP
UNHOLY INFESTATION
I HEAR YOUR WORDS, FEEL YOUR TOUCH
SWARMING ALL AROUND ME
THEYRE CRAWLING LIKE BUGS

***LYRICS***
I never thanked you
for my broken heart
without it I’d be
dead in your broken arms
I see you out
And I shake and I stumble
that kind of pain
doesn’t kill but it humbles you
crashing of waves
Thought I was over this part

No oooohhh
my new reality
Nooo oooh
I need a diet change
all that I see in your eyes
eat every word, every lie
it’s weighing me down
I don’t know how,
but I need a diet change
I need a diet change

all of your friends
None of them know the truth
But why would I hurt them
I’d be the same as you
swear that i'm wrong
From the moment it’s over
pretend that you’re sure
But look over your shoulder
smile and it’s fake
A scar from the things that you do

No oooohhh
my new reality
Nooo oooh
I need a diet change
all that I see in your eyes
eat every word, every lie
it’s weighing me down
I don’t know how,
but I need a diet change
I need a diet change

I hope they like 
cause I was really sad

Diet Change

HALF ALIVE, DREAMING OF APATHY
BITE A PILL, TRIP AS YOU RUN FROM ME 
YOUR MISTAKES, TAKING MY PLACE IN THE DARK
AND YOURE LOSING YOUR MIND 
AND THAT’S FINE

SUFFOCATE, CHOKE AS YOU LIE IN THE BED YOU MADE
GUILT SO INSIDIOUS, DOCTOR SIGN
PADDING THE WALLS OF YOUR ROOM
CAUSE YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND, AND THAT’S FINE WITH ME 

BITING YOUR TONGUE, RED IN YOUR MOUTH
TASTING MY NAME, CANT GET IT OUT 
HOLLOW AT HOME, NO ONE AROUND 

BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS AND IT COMES WITH A PRICE
OH AND YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND
FINE 

MMH THATS FINE FINE 
MMH YEAH THATS FINE WITH ME 
MMH THATS FINE
OH CAUSE YOURE LOSING YOUR MIND 
AND THATS FINE 

VISCERAL
OH WHEN IT COMES WELL ITS BEAUTIFUL 
I WATCH INDIFFERENTLY 
JUSTIFIED, NAILING A GRIN TO MY FACE CAUSE YOURE LOSING YOUR MIND 
AND THATS FINE WITH ME 

BITING YOUR TONGUE, RED IN YOUR MOUTH
TASTING MY NAME, CANT GET IT OUT 
HOLLOW AT HOME, NO ONE AROUND 

BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS AND IT COMES WITH A PRICE
OH AND YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND
FINE

NIGHTMARE POP

contact: management@notellemusic.com

Self-proclaimed lover of literature, nighttime and the macabre, Notelle is an independent musician working as an artist and writer since 2015. Boasting a cumulative 34+ million Spotify streams, coverage on both local and Sirius XM radio, features on over 20 editorial playlists, tracks signed to over 15 labels, including Armada, Warner, Spinnin’, Sony and Ultra, she collaborates with acts across the globe - all while remaining independent.

Don’t let her unsigned status fool you, however, as Notelle is an indie force to be reckoned with. Within the first half of 2021 she landed her first sync placement in the Lexus IS “All In & More” Car Campaign, and charted with Grammy-Nominated Dance acts, like Adventure Club and Zack Martino. Her track with Mitis, hit #1 on iTunes Dance albums and #8 on Spotify’s US Album Debuts, while her release with Ali Bakgor, “In A Dream”, hit 13 separate Editorials across Spotify and Apple Music, all within the first 24hrs.

Her sample/vocal pack partnership with Black Octopus Sounds debuted on Splice in July 2020. With front page features on Splice.com, inclusion in the Weekly Sampler and a spotlight in the Splice newsletter, “Notelle Presents: Nocturnal” broke Splice’s Top 100 charts at #34 within 72 hours, becoming one of Black Octopus’s most successful packs to date in under a week of it’s release.

A genre-defying artist in her own right, her developing solo project has been compared to brooding, dark and industrial acts like Nine Inch Nails and MuteMath. With two separate undergraduate degrees in English and Songwriting, her drive to step outside standard writing structure helped her cut through the noisy, over-saturated, Nashville pop world. After being called a “genuine, revelatory breath of fresh air” and recognized as a “Nashville Artist To Watch” by local press, Notelle was selected as local radio stations’ WBUZ and WRLT’s “Artist of the Week”. Shortly after, her single, “Sufjan Stevens”, placed first in Unsigned Only’s Writing Competition for “AAA” and honorable mention for “Rock” - there were only 19 genre winners overall out of over 10,000 submissions. Unlike anything coming out of Nashville’s pop scene, Notelle has established her own brand of genre-breaking “nightmare pop”, and with each release she produces a stranger yet more unique body of work from this "must watch" new artist.
