about

"Invisible Wars" expresses the loneliness and frustration of struggling with a disease you can't see. Depression is really tough to live with, but it's also easier to hide than a broken bone or a physical disease. When I wrote this song, I was in a really bad place while still managing to be more or less high-functioning. There's this fight inside oneself that happens every day that is invisible to those around you. You keep holding on and tell yourself you can be strong for everyone when in truth you need help and support.

When Dominic and I started working on the production of this song, we knew it wasn’t a mellow one. We needed to express that frustration of being stuck in this push and pull of emotions where you are on both sides of the battlefield. That’s how we ended up with this very dynamic arrangement that starts softly with the guitar and voice but builds with many layered harmonies, percussions, strings… And I adapted to that singing as well; it was quite an emotional recording session that even brought me to tears. The more we worked on this song, the more excited I got about it both musically and emotionally; it’s a really freeing one to release.

This song really expresses why I want to share this really personal chapter of my story: so many of us are going through invisible struggles feeling like we are the only ones. Hearing other people's stories gave me the courage to seek the help I need. I hope that these songs can make others feel seen and let them know that it can get better, that they are not alone and don't need to be ashamed.

lyrics

The water wraps its arms around me
And I find it hard to breathe
But somehow it still feels like home

Moonlight shimmers on the surface
I begged the sky for purpose
It left me weeping on my own

Don’t wanna make this decision
Just give me a mission
And I will stay around
Don’t wanna draw another line
Just show me a sign
And I will stay around

To fight invisible
Invisible wars
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna fight
Invisible
Invisible wars
Haunting me at night
Haunting me at night

I play with thoughts like swords and knifes
Hear her voice say careful child
But she is not as loud as you
The doors are always made of glass
Yet somehow no one ever asks
I forgot my own truth

Don’t wanna make this decision
Just give me a mission
And I will stay around
Don’t wanna draw another line
Just show me a sign
And I will stay around

To fight invisible
Invisible wars
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna fight
Invisible
Invisible wars
Haunting me at night
Haunting me at night

Maybe it will get easier in time
In time
I know someday soon the sun will rise
Will rise
Maybe it will get easier in time
I know someday soon the sun will rise

Until then I fight
Invisible
Invisible wars
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna fight
Invisible
Invisible wars
Haunting me at night
Haunting me at night
Invisible wars
Invisible wars
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna fight
Invisible wars
Invisible wars
Haunting me at night
Haunting me at night
Invisible wars

Luna Keller Cologne, Germany

I'm a singer-songwriterholic who loves making indie folky songs and putting my soul on paper.

Music was part of my life, I remember listening to my parents doing music when I was little and singing along getting all the lyrics wrong. I was thirteen when I picked up one of my dad's guitars and 19 when I moved out to become a full time musician. I am so grateful to be on this path! ... more
