Ariel… Read Full Bio ↴Ariela Jacobs is a Pop/Indie singer from Melbourne, Australia.
Ariela Jacobs is a storyteller, whose songwriting has a way of tackling themes with the sort of intimacy you would expect from a much older soul. With haunting vocals, pure, yet powerful enough to leave any listener weak at the knees, Ariela weaves together an ethereal, dream-ridden web of folk/pop tapestries, narrative and melody.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the live circuit, Ariela has shared the stage with the likes of Dustin Tebbutt, Ella Hooper and Ngaiire and has already enjoyed radio spins from Triple J Unearthed and FBi radio for her previously released teaser track ‘False Alarms’.
If you think those soaring, falsetto vocals of Ariela’s sound oddly familiar, it’s very possible you’ve already heard them - Ariela recently stepped outside of her usual genre to lend her distinct voice to Los Angeles based producer Goldroom to sing topline vocals on his summer electro hit ‘Embrace’ which was co-written with George Maple.
Not one to limit herself to the here and now, Ariela acknowledges the fluidity of song writing, stating that her “music is always in the stages of development and there is always opportunity for growth and new ideas”
Say So
Ariela Jacobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you paralyzed me
Seven whole days, seven whole days
Since you lost your fight
And I can't get the last words that you said
Can't get those words out of my head
Seven whole days, seven whole days and four words
And I can't get away from the burning pain
And the fallen hero haunts my thoughts
How could you leave me this way?
It's been seven whole days
Without your embrace
I wanna see your face
I got some things to say
Was just a week ago
You said, I love you girl
I said, I love you more
Then a breath, a pause, you said
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so
It's been seven whole days, seven whole days
Since I heard the phone ring
Seven whole days, seven whole days
Since I heard your voice
And I can't get the last words that you say
Can't get those words out of my head
It's been seven whole days, seven whole days of pure hurt
And I can't get away from the burning pain
I lay awake
And the fallen hero haunts my thoughts
How could you leave me this way?
It's been seven whole days
Without your embrace
I wanna see your face
I got some things to say
Was just a week ago
You said, I love you girl
I said, I love you more
Then a breath, a pause, you said
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so
I can't believe it's true
I keep looking for you
I check my phone and wait to hear from you
In the crowded room
The joker is so cruel
And now I'll never know
If all I've been told, is just a lie so bold
I thought we would grow old
Mirrors in the smoke
Left me here to choke
It's been seven whole days
Without your embrace
I wanna see your face
I got some things to say
Was just a week ago
You said, I love you girl
I said, I love you more
Then a breath, a pause, you said
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so

Since I heard your voice
It has been one week since I last heard from you. This includes not only the sound of your voice, but even the notification of your call.
I can't believe it's true
I keep looking for you
I check my phone and wait to hear from you
In the crowded room
The joker is so cruel
And now I'll never know
If all I've been told, is just a lie so bold
I thought we would grow old
Mirrors in the smoke
Left me here to choke
I am in disbelief about the reality of the situation and keep searching for you, even though deep down, I know you are not coming back. In social situations, I feel alone and vulnerable. I will never know if everything you told me was a lie, even though I trusted and believed in you. I thought we had a future together but now that dream has been shattered. I am left feeling suffocated and helpless, as if I am choking on the mirror-like image of what we once were.
