Marcela also sang on the bonus disc of the re-release of the first Ayreon album The Final Experiment. Later, she was picked as the lead singer of another Lucassen project, Stream of Passion (in which she also plays the violin, one of the defining sounds of the band) who have released a full length album, Embrace the Storm as well as a single, Out In The Real World, and a live album, Live In The Real World.
In 2005, he also picked her for his new project, the progressive metal band Stream of Passion. The band released their debut album Embrace the Storm the same year, with Bovio acting as sole lyricist. Lucassen left the band to continue on its own in 2007; this resulted in Bovio acting as band leader and one of the main songwriters (including for composition) on subsequent albums.v Stream of Passion amicably disbanded in December 2016.
In September 2016, Bovio independently released her first solo album, Unprecedented, a classical album consisting of original songs she wrote; it was followed by Through Your Eyes in 2018. She joined MaYaN as a full-time member in 2017, after regular collaborations with the band since 2013. She regularly acts as backing vocalist for other bands, notably Epica and The Gentle Storm, and was also one of the founding members of VUUR in 2016

Powerless
Marcela Bovio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i quenched my thirst, locked the door, found the place where i belong
i just hope for enough information to wipe away my fear, to make the lines disappear
petty little shards of life… we'll be leaving in a minute
tyrant, wave your metal hands to command us 'till we're rendered powerless
as i go through my box of old memories and hopes there are tales that still need explanation
i turned the knife in the wound in the hope of learning more; oh i long for enough information to wipe away my fear, to make the lines disappear
petty little shards of life… we'll be leaving in a minute
cannot leave the past behind, it restrains us andconstrains us
i don't have the strength to climb • i don't know how to let go, but i will learn.
The lyrics to Marcela Bovio's "Powerless" describe a journey towards self-discovery and liberation. The first verse depicts the singer as trapped within their own body, struggling to find their place in the world. However, a glimmer of hope shines through in the form of light shining through a window. The singer then quenches their thirst and locks the door, finding some form of sanctuary for themselves. They hope to find enough information to conquer their fear and erase the lines that constrain them.
In the second verse, the singer speaks about going through their box of memories and hopes, trying to make sense of them all. They turn the knife in their wound, hoping to learn more and gather the information they need to break free. Despite feeling powerless, they are determined to learn and grow.
The chorus then speaks about tyrants who try to control and degrade others. The singer recognizes the past as something that can restrain and constrain someone, but they are determined to learn how to let go and climb to new heights.

Letra :3As I stumble and moan in my cage of flesh and bone
Rays of lightmake their way to the window
I quenched my thirst, locked the door, found the place where I belong
I just hope for enough information
To wipe away my fear
To make the lines disappear
Petty little shards of life
We’ll be leaving in a minute
Tyrant, wave your metal hands
To command us ’till we’re rendered powerless
As I go through my box of old memories and hopes
There are tales that still need explanation
I turned the knife in the wound in the hope of learning more
Oh I long for enough information
To wipe away my fear
To make the lines disappear
Petty little shards of life
We’ll be leaving in a minute
Tyrant, wave your metal hands
To degrade us and command us
Cannot leave the past behind
It restrains us and constrains us
I don’t have the strength to climb
I don’t know how to let go, but I will learn
I will learn, I will learn, I will learn, I will learn
I will learn, I will learn, I will learn, I will learn
Petty little shards of life
We’ll be leaving in a minute
Tyrant, wave your metal hands
To degrade us and command us

@vwts
@@mohammedm4483 From the rest of the lyrics I think it's using a dictator (who takes people prisoner and degrades them) as a metaphor for the past memories that trap the song's persona in her "cage of flesh and bone". Not sure though.
@mohammedm4483
Thank you for explaining ❤️

Easy answer, she's not more famous and this song isn't a hit because 1. She's actually talented 2. The song is actually good.
