Seventeen-year-old CJ shines as the bandβs lead guitarist and shares vocals with sixteen-year-old Maggie, who rocks dual instruments on bass and keys. The youngest of the group, thirteen-year-old Lulu, anchors the band with an intensity on drums that is way beyond her years.
GFMβs edgy sound resonates in the familiar dark corners of its rock genre; but with influencers like Skillet, Memphis May Fire, Bring Me the Horizon, Red and Disciple, GFMβs lyrics shine with a universal light. Through their individual journeys, GFM manages to blur the lines of the Christian sub-culture, reaching both conservatives and listeners beyond the devout. Drawing its name from the original gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, GFM proves that while the guitarβs distorted, the message is clear β the mission is the music.
Twisted Humanity
Gold Frankincense & Myrrh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying To Be Something That I'm Not
Begging For A Cure But My Tongue Is Tied
Screaming Inside As I Begin To Rot
How Can I Help If Iβ²m Not Broken
What Kind Of Impact Could I Make
This Is For Those Who Remain Unspoken
You Are Worth More Than You Could Ever Know
I Can See That You Want More For Your Life
This Pretending Leaves You Stranded Alone
You Don't Need These Scars To Help In This Fight
My Heart May Adjust To The Dark
So Save Me Before I Lose Myself
I Cut The Lies And Press Restart
Iβ²m Not Here To Be Someone Else
You Are Worth More Than You Could Ever Know
I Can See That You Want More For Your Life
This Pretending Leaves You Stranded Alone
You Donβ²t Need These Scars To Help In This Fight
I See Humans But There's No Humanity
Weβ²ve Lost Our Boundaries, Lost Our Pride
Now We Just Sit And Give Into The Insanity
Drowning Out Our Minds With The Need To Survive
You Are Worth More Than You Could Ever Know
I Can See That You Want More For Your Life
This Pretending Leaves You Stranded Alone
You Don't Need These Scars To Help In This Fight
The song "Twisted Humanity" by Gold Frankincense & Myrrh is a powerful message about the internal struggle of trying to be someone you are not and the impact it has on society as a whole. The opening verse reveals the turmoil that the singer is facing with a war inside themselves that they are hiding, unable to express their true emotions. They beg for a cure, yet their tongue is tied, and they feel like they are slowly deteriorating from the inside.
The second verse highlights the importance of being broken before being able to help others. The singer encourages those who feel unspoken to listen to her message, as they do not have to break in order to be heard. The chorus emphasizes the worth of every person and their desire for something more in life. The singer urges listeners to stop pretending and to rely on their own strength instead of their scars to fight for what they believe in.
The final verse speaks to the loss of humanity in society, as people become more focused on survival rather than compassion for others. The singer calls for a return to our boundaries and pride, to avoid drowning out our minds with the insanity of the world. The song's overall message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that everyone has worth and can make a positive impact on the world.

I just found out about you guys because my boyfriend went to your concert yesterday, but I just wanted to say that you guys are awesome and so inspiring. It's amazing to see three young women making amazing music and being successful. Everyone (including me) dreams of having the spotlight, but you guys actually managed to get it and that's just.. wow. You guys are great.
