Several years ago I found Lena Fayre’s music on YouTube. She reminded me in some ways of Lana Del Rey being a young poised woman creating her own success with her own videos and sound, yet she was different. Unfortunately, since the release of her album OKO (now several years ago), she has seemingly vanished. Being a young woman, I hope that it’s just a break to attend university to later return. If anyone who reads this knows what happened to her, please send me an email so I can update this article.
Even though she was performing, she got a break when one of her songs was used in The Vampire Diaries when they played This World in one of their episodes.
Get a feel for the lyrics –
Lena Fayre – I Am a Soul Lyrics
Artist: Lena Fayre, Album: Oko
the light in the corridor is dimming
your eyes drift out of your skull swimming, swimming
i am a soul x4
i am my soul
i see your face in strange light
in the morning new and nascent
you hollow out and come alive
come alive, come alive
Lena Fayre – I Am Not a Man Lyrics
Artist: Lena Fayre, Album: Oko
I am not a man
I feel more like
emptiness, solitude
I am not a man
I feel more like
chemicals coming through
Why are you whispering so politely
when all around me the house is burning down?
the house is falling down
I hear what you say but not what you’re saying
I know it’s a game but what are we playing
It won’t be the same
You’re not around
It’s like the house is falling down
It’s like the house is falling down
I’ve been here before
Open fist
Open door
Oh what have I done, what have, what what, what have, what, what, what,
Why are you whispering so politely
when all around me the house is burning down?
the house is falling down
I hear what you say but not what you’re saying
I know it’s a game but what are we playing
It won’t be the same
You’re not around
It’s like the house is falling down
It’s like the house is falling down
I hear what you say but not what you’re saying
I know it’s a game but what are we playing
And it won’t be the same
You’re not around
It’s like the house is falling down
It’s like the house is falling down
Like the house is falling down
It’s like the house is falling down
