about

"Live a Lie" is a reflection on the contradictions of an exhausted society, a rebellion against the structures in place, which do not prioritize any true quality of life. “We are raised to believe that in order to achieve happiness we must follow the rules of an outdated system, and if we don’t kill ourselves in the process, we must not want it bad enough.”

lyrics

Feel like it’s one thing after the next
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, I can’t rest

Took the rope from my throat, braid it into my hair
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep, when it’s there

Taught to confuse the truth or delusion of self
I can’t see, I can’t see, I can’t tell

It should hurt, hard work, pay your dues ’til you lose your health
I can’t move, I can’t move, I’m not well

Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie
Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie

Lose my mind all the time, tell me why do I feel so wrong?
I can’t live, I can’t live for so long

Raised and erased, devastate to the end of the line
It’s a myth, it’s a myth, it’s a lie

Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie
Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie
Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie
Live a lie, live a lie, I’m living a lie

Tried to do what’s right but it only seemed to break me
Used to wanna fight, used to be angry
I don’t wanna save the world
It doesn’t wanna save me

Tried to do what’s right but it only seemed to break me
Used to wanna fight, used to be angry
I don’t wanna save the world
It doesn’t wanna save me

Live a lie, live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
Live a lie, live a lie, live a lie, live a lie

Kandle Montreal, Québec

Weaving a thrum of trip-hop downbeats, brilliant, gut wrenching lyrics, and her signature, sultry, haunting vocals, Kandle is back! She knows too well the darkness we all face, and with these songs she reaches out to all those who wish to be understood but feel they aren’t. Kandle can weave this magic so powerfully because she feels it too, she is out here in the darkness with us. ... more
