Lennon then opened for such bands as Alice Cooper, The Cult, Otep, Mushroomhead and Drowning Pool to name a few.
Lennon later released a strictly acoustic album entitled Career Suicide. It was just Lennon and her piano. Most songs were remakes of songs from 5:30 Saturday Morning but the new ones were also well received. She released it independently on the label John Galt Entertainment, as she had left Arista.
She remained touring including the Girlz Garage tour. She released her third effort, I Am, on different labels in different countries. It is not yet available in the United States.
She is currently working on new songs and touring.
Lennon enjoys watching , Disney's Aladdin, and playing onstage.
Also, her follow up album will not be called "I AM" in the United States but "Damaged Goods".
Lennon can also be found as a model on Suicide Girls.
I Say
Lennon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoulder gives way and the ice breaks
A rivers drying up the heart beat of god
Simple to say you're moving on like a train
Drowning out the constant nonsense
Chorus:
I say, I said
So I'll just say it to myself
I say, I said
But never to your face
So I'll just say it to myself
Verse:
So I'm left here seedless, mindless, careless
My emotions more fear than rebellion
Coming out of the shadows of the web I weave
Not close enough to you, not close enough to you
Chorus:
I say, I said
But never to your face
So I'll just say it to myself
I say, I said
But never to your face
So I'll just say it to myself
Chorus:
I say, I said
But never to your face
So I'll just say it to myself
I say, I said
But never to your face
So I'll just say it to myself
The lyrics to Lennon's song "I Say" seem to be about unexpressed emotions and thoughts, and the isolation that can result from keeping such things to oneself. The first verse paints a picture of physical and emotional implosion: "Shoulder gives way and the ice breaks" suggests a body giving out in some way, while "A river's drying up the heart beat of god" speaks to a larger sense of deterioration and emptiness. However, the second line in the verse-"Simple to say you're moving on like a train/Drowning out the constant nonsense"-suggests that the singer's pain and emotions are being overshadowed and drowned out by this sense of forward momentum. In the chorus, the singer admits that they've been holding back- "I say, I said/But never to your face"-keeping thoughts to themselves out of fear or uncertainty. The last two lines of that chorus-"So I'll just say it to myself"-are a bleak admission that there may not be anyone to hear those unspoken thoughts even if they were voiced.
The second verse continues the theme of isolation and the singer's inability to connect with others: "So I'm left here seedless, mindless, careless/My emotions more fear than rebellion." The use of the word "seedless" suggests impotence or inability to take action or create something new, while the end of the line-"my emotions more fear than rebellion"-further underlines this sense of stagnation and powerlessness. The final line-"Not close enough to you, not close enough to you"-speaks to a sense of distance from another person, likely the subject of the unsaid thoughts and feelings that are the focus of the song.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
- John Lennon
