She began playing piano at a young age and performed her first gig in front of people when she was fifteen. One day, Lennon came home after school to find her mother, her only parent, dead in her closet of an allergic reaction to some pills she had taken. This was just a few days prior to Lennon's eighteenth birthday and Lennon's signing with Arista records. Still, Lennon prevailed, fought for custody of her younger sister Mariella (which she eventually won), and released her debut album, "5:30 Saturday Morning", on September 11, 2001. Her only single from that album was a song called "Brake of Your Car".

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.

Wrong Way
Lennon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I?ve come too far to turn around now
Keep getting lost by too many mistakes
I started down this path a long time ago
Searching for someone I use to know

Chorus:
I?ve been traveling for so long
Feels like I?m home but I know I don?t belong

And I?ve been searching from place to place
Trying to find myself but always turning the wrong way
Turning the wrong way

Verse:
Another city, another name I don?t recall
They might have been right, this is all my fault
Asking strangers have you ever seen this face
Saying you missed her, she just passed here yesterday

Chorus:
I?ve been traveling for so long
Feels like I?m home but I know I don?t belong
And I?ve been searching from place to place
Trying to find myself but always turning the wrong way
Turning the wrong way

Bridge:
So many people feel the same every day
Nobody acts they just turn the other way
Why do I listen to what they say
When all I want is to find my own way

Chorus:
I?ve been traveling for so long
Feels like I?m home but I know I don?t belong
And I?ve been searching from place to place

Trying to find myself but always turning the wrong way
Turning the wrong way

Overall Meaning

Lennon's song "Wrong Way" is an expression of a journey of self-discovery and the difficulties that come with it. The lyrics suggest that the journey has been going on for quite a while, and the singer is far too invested to turn back now, despite the mistakes that keep getting in the way. The song also suggests that the singer is searching for someone or something that they used to know or perhaps a version of themselves that they once were. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of traveling from place to place, trying to find themselves but always ending up turning the wrong way.

In the chorus, Lennon describes the feeling of being lost and searching for a place to belong. The singer is traveling for so long that they begin to feel at home, even though they know they don't belong. The journey is difficult, and the singer keeps turning down the wrong path, always searching for something that they can't seem to find.

The bridge is a realization that many people feel the same way, and the singer wonders why they keep listening to what people say or why they turn away when someone is in need. The singer wants to find their own way and discover who they are, but they keep getting lost or sidetracked.
