Charade (feat. Cas Moerdijk)

Stream/Buy

Saco - Charade (feat. Cas Moerdijk)

I created this song to capture the intense internal struggle of transitioning from being recognized as a hero to grappling with the darker aspects within. I know I can't be the only veteran who has felt this way. The phrase "trapped in this charade" exemplifies the challenges I face in civilian life, even years after being discharged. As my mind works through strategic actions, I constantly remind myself that I am not at war and that "I'm not a villain." 

This song conveys my determination to maintain control over these darker aspects of myself while striving to lead a normal life. It highlights the incredible challenge of reintegrating as a soldier and the ongoing battle against the shadows and fury that threaten to surface.

I want the song to be raw and honest, tapping into powerful emotions and themes of identity, self-control, and the quest for redemption.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The chaos of the city, I’m walking through the flames,
Fighting back the shadows that are whispering my name.
Every time they push me, I feel my anger rise,
A veteran lost in transit, hiding something deep inside!

[Verse 2]
They laugh in this arena, think they know the game,
But behind my painted smile lies a monster with a claim.
Cutthroat tactics in their eyes, think they're manipulating fate,
They're clueless that I'm trained to kill, it's hard not to take the bait!

[Chorus]
I’m fighting for redemption, not put on a villain’s mask,  (I'm Not a Villain!)
Every day's a struggle, in this worn-out, twisted task.
Awarded a hero, now pretending I'm human like, a clone. (A Clone!)
Every fight I don’t take just turns my heart to stone.
So I fight the monster, creeping close, just inside of me,
Holding back the fury, that I don't want them to see!
Trying to be the savior, but trapped in this charade,
While I battle internal darkness, fighting for my fate.

(trapped in this charade)

[Verse 3]
At the edge of precipice, I feel the tension mount,
Could I turn the tide now? instead I stop and count?
One wrong step, one fast move, the darkness breaks free,
Instead I hold that massive beast inside of me.

[Chorus]
I’m fighting for redemption, not put on a villain’s mask, (I'm Not a Villain!)
Every day's a struggle, in this worn-out, twisted task.
Awarded a hero, now pretending I'm human like, a clone. (A Clone!)
Every fight I don’t take, just turns my heart to stone.
So I fight the monster, creeping close just inside of me,
Holding back the fury, that I don't want them to see.
Trying to be the savior, but trapped in this charade,
While I battle internal darkness, fighting for my fate.

(trapped in this charade)

[Bridge]
In a world full of liars, I’m searching for the truth,
Every act of compassion feels way too far removed.
How can I be a hero, with all these lines drawn in the sand?
I just want a human job, I'm not trying to take your land!

[Pre Chorus]
So here I stand defiant, in the echoes of my strife,
I’m a veteran in the shadows, trying to seek a real life.
Though the monster lurks within, and the world looks so unkind,
Trying to rise above the chaos, claim myself, and clear my mind!

[Chorus]
I’m fighting for redemption, not put on a villain’s mask, (I'm Not a Villain!)
Every day's a struggle, in this worn-out, twisted task.
Trying to be the savior, but a stranger in this charade,
While I battle internal darkness, fighting for my fate.
(trapped in this charade)
(trapped in this charade)
(trapped in this charade)
