Fairy Tale

"Fairy Tale" is about how life seemed so much brighter and happier when we were little compared to how reality is. It talks about how life isn't actually how I thought it would be when I was younger, and it's actually a lot darker in reality. It's about how fairy tales paint the world as a perfect place. I referenced a lot of different fairy tales throughout the song, and sang about how they show the world through rose-colored glasses, but as we grow up we can see that this world is actually nothing like that. With lines such as "They cut off their toes to fit in their shoes" I'm referencing how in some earlier stories about Cinderella, the stepsisters actually cut off their toes to try and fit into the glass slipper, which is far more gruesome and darker than Disney's version. Throughout the song, I also reference other fairy tales that were a big part of my childhood, like The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Snow White, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, and more, and I compare them to how life truly is.

To me, being creative is something that allows me to enjoy myself and make things that I am proud of. Music is something I really enjoy, so writing and playing those songs is something that makes me really proud.
