about

A song about childhood, about letting go of old beliefs.

lyrics

SO WRONG

This is all so wrong: lying to myself,
People being strong and me trying to hide myself
Wrong! I just wanna break out
Run away from the voices in my head!
And I will go on, and I will be strong
Hold my head up high with a smile until I find my way

As a child I was told to behave
And not to live my life how I wanted it to be
But now I try to liberate my mind
From the rules which I was told to be the truth
And I will be free forever, I will be at peace forever
When I finally find myself in me

Ev'rything is wrong: this lying to myself,
Ev'ryone is strong while I am trying to hide myself
Wrong! I just wanna break out
Ev'rything is spinning in my head!
But I will go on, and I will be strong
Hold my head up high with a smile until I find my way

All these years I've tried to please the world
Instead of saying the things that I really think
But from now on I'll stop lying to myself
From now on I will speak my truth out loud
Yes, I will be free forever, yes, I'll be at peace forever
Finally I found myself in me!

All of that was wrong: that lying to myself,
Now I'm the one who's strong and I won't ever hide myself
Wrong! and I'm gonna break out
Run away from the voices in my head!
And I will go on, I'm already strong
Hold my head up high with a smile to lead me on my way

As one of the few cellists who are able to accompany themselves, the German singer-songwriter MARA with the "wonderful soprano voice" (Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz) combines in her music her classical roots with her preference for pop music and jazz. Her songs are honest, creative, intimate, fragile - and at the same time self-confident and questioning. ... more
