lyrics

Locked-Down Fade Lyrics

They can laugh about it. And say that I am too much.
I don’t want to think about it, so I’ll lock down.

Hear me out; I’m falling down. Help somehow. Cause I’m feeling too tired.
All my powers were used to devour, all the hurting from their deserting…
Lock down and fade.

Behind a wall… you know it’s where I feel safe.
Yet it makes me feel so small, sometimes I like it that way.

Then I won’t have to feel miles and miles of steel
Running from your heart to my eyes… my sad, sad eyes.
Not to be forgiven
When you got such a sad, sad mind…
Oh to go on living, when you got such a sad, sad life-- (life) force in tact, I fear my mind’s death trap of my pride and will bent and all of my energies spent.

Calling it like it is… now there is no room left for doubt. Feel a bit stronger now… just wish I wasn’t tired.

All my powers led to this hour. And all my shaking is to hide my aching.
Lock down and fade.

Go twist and fall.
And go out with a bang.
See if they cared at all…
…no, not now.

Fade in, fade out… I feel like I am not around. Locked into feeling locked out, so I’ll just sit down.

I don’t have time for this conversation, where you always seize upon my hesitations, and never ever send me any indication that I matter to you at all.

about

Randi Russo Los Angeles, California

Already known for her “honest, provocative lyrics” (The Big Takeover) and her upside-down guitar-playing which is “sweet when it needs to be but nasty in all the right places” (The Village Voice), Randi Russo continues to create songs with equal parts toughness & tenderness. While she often draws comparisons to PJ Harvey, Lou Reed & Patti Smith, Randi definitely has a voice of her own. ... more
