#RIKA #MYFELLOWSHOWMAN

My Fellow Showman started as a voice note I made in my bedroom, and grew into what is my proudest and most vulnerable track to date. It talks about the fakeness we present one another in society when we are all knowingly going through something. The song is in ¾ which gives the feel a mental waltz. The song starts with ‘Dance around how I feel, the crowd watches on’ depicts how showing emotions is a dance we all partakes in while everybody watches. I out my all in this song, from doing the vocal production, co-directing the video and building it from the ground up, I hope you can feel who I am and my message in the audio and visuals. I hope you can feel what I feel.

Lyrics:
VERSE
Dance around how I feel
the crowd watches on…

Even if I feel the pain,
The show must go on.

Like a crack in a wall,
With a band aid on top.
yeah it hurts just to smile,
But it’s pretty enough to fool...

Dance around how you feel,
the crowd watches on…

PRE CHORUS
Why does it matter how I am perceived
When everyone’s lying to me?

CHORUS
Why do we lie
Everybody’s a little broken, just a little broken
I do believe
In a world that sugarcoated,
My fellow showman, you're broken like me

you're broken like me

VERSE 2

Miss a couple of steps,
Feel the mask slip away,
Lost the words in the space,
‘Tween my mouth and my brain.

How do you like me now?
As I exit the stage.
i dont care for applause.
I won’t bow for your grace.

CHORUS
Tell me why do we lie?
Everybody’s a little broken, just a little broken
I do believe
In a world that’s sugarcoated
my fellow showman youre broken like me
you’re broken like me
youre broken like me
Ahhhhhh

(Miss a couple of steps
Feel the mask slip away
Lost the words in the space,
‘Tween my mouth and my brain.

How do you like me now
As I exit the stage
i dont care for applause
I won’t bow for your Grace.)

why do we lie?
why do we lie?
my fellow showman you’re broken like me
you’re broken like
