In 2012 she played a residency at The Bootleg in Los Angeles and two shows at The Viper Room as well as a sold out show with JMSN at The Troubadour. Entertainment Weekly called her "everything we want in a singer-angry, damaged, and supremely talented." While a review in music industry trade hitsdailydouble.com described her as "still a little raw around the edges, but if she can manage to harness that power, Meg Myers has the kind of fierce presence that evokes the likes of femme fatales such as Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Cat Power, Alanis Morrissette and Sinead O'Connor, and that's some pretty impressive company."

Meg Myers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He is my secret lover, I'm his parade
No, I won't die alone
No, I can't let it show
Cause I really love you baby
But I'll never love you baby
You're than enough, it's crazy
He kisses me but I turn away
He's all I ever wanted, I count the days
No, I won't die alone
No, I can't let it show
Cause I really love you baby
But I'll never love you baby
You're than enough, it's crazy
But I'll never love you baby
The song "Parade" by Meg Myers focuses on a complicated and secretive love affair. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song with the lines, "He looks at me but I look away, He is my secret lover, I'm his parade." The singer admits to having a deep love for this person, but it's not enough for her to fully commit to him. She is afraid to show her emotions because she doesn't want to die alone. The chorus repeats the line "Cause I really love you baby, But I'll never love you baby, You're than enough, it's crazy, But I'll never love you baby"
In the second verse, the singer reveals that her lover kisses her, but she still turns away. She admits that he is the only one she ever wanted, and she counts the days until they can be together again. She repeats the same lines in the chorus, further emphasizing her feelings toward this person.
The song as a whole tells a story of a complex and confusing relationship where the singer is torn between her love for someone and her fear of commitment. The lyrics and melody are haunting and powerful, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
