about

Bullying sucks. The scars it left remain long after it happened, both for the victims and the perpetrators. For Rekah, music has always been about creating a space to speak up. Through the announcement he made on his YouTube channel, Faiz—who does vocals for Rekah—shares his story about the bullying he experienced and how it shaped his life. He’s sure that he’s not the only one, that many others have also experienced similar situations—as the bully or the bullied. With this record, we hope to open up new spaces and spark dialogues about bullying and those who are involved, and hopefully, put an end to the trivialization of the matter.

lyrics

We live with the bond that we share
Then you look at me with a stare
You wish me death multiple times
When I do not commit crimes

A room full of abuse and torture
The turning point for my future
Your steps make me unnerve
Think it’s what I really deserve

As far back as I can remember
We promised to keep each other's back, forever
But in the mid-year, you spread a fake rumor
Spreading fast, more than a cancer
While you hiding in disguise
Everyone starts to look at me with disgust
And when I thought it would soon expire
You just set a new light of fire

The place where I used to live
Now has become a land of grief
Confused within this reality
I swallow my own sanity
In my own sanctuary
