Gigi Perez’s song “Fable” explores profound themes of grief, faith, and the search for truth. The lyrics are a deeply personal reflection on loss, particularly the loss of her sister, and the complexities of navigating faith in the face of such sorrow.
“Fable” serves as both a tribute to her sister and an exploration of the human experience surrounding love and loss. The closing imagery of stars blinking like her sister’s eyes encapsulates both haunting memories and hopeful reflections on existence beyond life.
Fable Gigi Perez Lyrics
Fable and truth
Direct me to someone who gives me the juice and new rules
Someone to tell me we’re not born to be mules in this
Everything, it contradicts
Hedges of prayer
‘Cause you believe, doesn’t mean that it’s there, it’s so rare
It’s so rare that somebody’d look out for you (Look out for you, look out for you)
Thoughts and prayers was all they’d do (All they’d do, they’d do, they’d do, they’d do)
When I lifted her urn
Divinity says, “Destiny can’t be earned or returned”
I feel when I question, my skin starts to burn
Why does my skin start to burn?
Ah-ah, capital loss
Love was the law and religion was taught, I’m not bought
Feel when we argue, our skin starts to rot
Our skin starts to rot
Oh
Oh
So share me your plan
If I implore you, could I be your lamb? Understand
I look for the truth in the back of your hand, and I
Look into the open sky
Stars blink like my sister’s eyes (Hey, princess, it’s Celi, I’m just calling you to wish you luck on your performance at the café)
Stars blink like my sister’s eyes (Um, I love you, you’re gonna kill it, bye, baby)
Stars blink like her eyes
Like her eyes
I dream of eternal life
I dream of eternal life
