--
I’ve been driving aimlessly
for most of the night.
I wanna head home, but
it doesn’t feel right;
not when the only sound
bouncing off the walls
are the echoes
of how I came undone.
(It’s over…)
As the empty road
stretches far ahead,
I ask the question
over and over again:
why would you hold my hand
through the darkest hour,
only to let it go
when my guard
was down?
(It’s over…)

It’s a trap,
it’s a game
full of madness and pain.
Take the knife
and bury it in your chest,
show me your heart
and place your bets.
No one cares,
no one wins
as we drown in our sins.
We’ll risk everything
for one more try,
the promise
of eternal fire.

It stains, it hurts, it burns the skin.
It screams, it roars, it lures me in.
The world is a liar.


It stains, it hurts, it burns the skin.
It screams, it roars, it grows within.
The world is a liar.

[LigeiaNoire]

Damn... something is wrong with the world when a musician this talented is not out there "trending".. So deep, so melancholic, so pungent, so heartbreakingly beautiful.

[sebastianperez]

Numbers dont matter sometimes, whoever hears her knows her skill is from an elite level

[silhvettes]

Everything about this song is stunning. It's hauntingly beautiful and I love it.

[honzazaloudek]

Marcela, Ferry and Ben? What a combination, love it!

[thetinytitan]

You have been one of my favorite singers since I was in high school! I love hearing your voice ♡♡♡

[Yu-Fei-Hung]

Very well done!
Amazing song with a very effective sound scene design!
What do I mean?
This song from the beginning, specially the voice gives you the sensation of emotional devastation and being on live flesh.
Many dramatic songs of this kind give you space through reverb or some interlude but this one gives you no place to scape to once the heat rises. Marcela’s voice hits you fully with phrases that effectively recreate the hurt and scorch your soul.
Technically, the dynamics, texture, color and vibrato always feel under control even at the climax of the song.
I have been following her evolution by 20 years and keeps amazing me in the best way!
Thanks for this song that means a lot for all of us that have been through those life experiences that deserve songs of this caliber!
This one goes straight to my personal “shoe box for songs”. 🤘

I love everything about this: the chord progressions, the key change, the form of the song. This is such a good example of how to make a song simple, yet interesting at the same time. It's so catchy and heartbreaking, but so fun to play on guitar because of all the changes. I'm gonna teach it to one of my students as an example for composition. Beautiful work, Marcela!

[mbenocas]

Fantastic interpretation with a lot of emotion and beauty.
Marcela is one of my favorite singers.

I usualy say a joke when speak with girls that i have i sacred love in my life and it is mutually. When they ask who is it i turn on song "when you hurt me the most" and "silence before the storm"))
But every joke have i little true, right?)
Thank you for you creation. I'm realy like your voice and style.)

[oleggerasimov]

Beautiful song, beautiful people... Thanks to everybody in this project for one's job

[ChrisPage]

I'm NOT crying, Marcela - it's the cheese and onion Pringles I've been eating! 😭

[suarezale]

Impresionante Marcela! Como siempre! Encima los musicos y coristas que te acompañan...creo haberlos visto por ahí😁

[camilahautequest]

Uma das melhores cantoras de metal da atualidade. Abraço 🤘🇧🇷

[crossmetal]

Came here from Facebook Reels, and oh my god.

First listen through, i was in shock at how hauntingly beautiful it is

Second, i focused on the lyrics and felt a lump form in my throat

After the third, I'm a fucking mess.

This is absolutely incredible

[aleleeinnaleleeinn]

Your singing is so emotive and beautiful. And I do love your string ensemble. the whole song is uniquely yours. Wonderful.

[VannaRoux]
