Her music is raw and heartfelt, with hints of folk. Her voice is naturally warm and intense, sometimes gracefully teasing. She knows how to play a tune and wield our emotions, to bring us in her fresh and authentic way, simple stories of everyday life and love.
Sofi's music will remind you of something you did not know you had. And that will remain with you, like a secret so deep and so beautiful that you would want to share it with others, and yet keep it for your own.
Faster
Sofi De la Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running around like a mad man
Looking for a game play
That will take your breath away
Flying high like an airplane
Balanced on a tightrope
Waiting for the big show
Hoping I can do it all over again
Make me part of the wonderful games you play
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
A better version of me
Gotta be crazy, sexy, louder, edgy
A bigger version of me
So here's something we can all dance to
I'll sing about the beat to make us all move
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
But you don't know what it means
So come and brief me
You're obviously the chief of me
You always know what's best
I am just a singer in a hotel room
Trying hard to pass your test
And if I'm ticking all the boxes
Or tricking all the foxes
I guess it's not my call
So fill me up with the glorious words you say
Make me part of the wonderful games you play
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
A better version of me
Gotta be crazy, sexy, louder, edgy
A bigger version of me
So here's something we can all dance to
I'll sing about the beat to make us all move
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
But you don't know what it means
And if you took me as I am
Would it be such a bad thing?
Saw me as I am,
Would it be so bad?
If you felt what I had
Would it be such a bad thing?
Be such a bad thing?
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
A better version of me
Gotta be crazy, sexy, louder, edgy
A bigger version of me
Faster, faster
Harder, harder
A better version of me
Gotta be crazy, sexy, louder, edgy
A bigger version of me
So here's something we can all dance to
I'll sing about the beat to make us all move
It's gotta be faster, faster
Harder, harder
But you don't know what it means...
The song "Faster" by Sofi De la Torre is all about the need for constant improvement and bigger success. The lyrics talk about the relentless pursuit of something better, faster, and harder, like an addict chasing a high. The singer describes the feeling of being on a tightrope, trying to balance and waiting for the "big show". She wants to be part of the "wonderful games" that others are playing, and be the best version of herself - crazy, sexy, louder, and edgier. However, there's also an acknowledgment that this pursuit might not be entirely one's own choice, and that others may hold the power to judge and control the singer's career. The chorus repeats the need for speed and improvement, even though the singer questions if it's truly necessary.

Ich bin gerade total geflasht, weil ich zum ersten mal realisiert habe wie lange das alles schon her ist.
Ich war 11, als ich die Bücher gelesen habe...
Jetzt höre ich zum ersten mal seit gut 3 Jahren wieder das Lied und bin fast am heulen..... das hört sich vielleicht übertrieben an, aber diese Geschichte hat mich so geprägt 😢❤💎
