Lyrics and translation
Original
"The Fate of Ophelia" is the first track off of my album, The Life of a Showgirl, and I really love this song because it kind of combines sort of Shakespearean storytelling of, you know, this legend of, of this tragic hero, Ophelia, and what happened to her, blended with this kind of newer concept of escaping that fate and having more modern terminology used in the song too, like, you know, "Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky.
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.
" I just love kind of blend- the blending of old and new with lyrics, and that's one of my favorite parts about this song.
But it's also just kind of one of my favorite catchy melodies I've ever gotten to write.
