Newly emerging independent artist Klyn has dropped "That's Not Who We Are." It speaks to an audience that feels trapped by expectations but still has a quiet fire inside them. It's emotional without being melodramatic — cathartic, honest, and subtly rebellious.
We used to be close
We used to be bold
When everything’s right
We’ll raise a good toast
Something is dangerous
Something is gold
Too scared to walk out of the door
We’ll stay in here forever
Follow every step they gave
There’s no need to be afraid
If you’re scared just look away
Save for something far away
Live for a dream in vain
Listen to what they all say
Follow every step they gave
There’s no need to be afraid
If you’re scared just look away
Save for something far away
Live for a dream in vain
Listen to what they all say
We danced in the dark
We’re covered in scars
You’ve swallowed your heart
Just stay where you are
Everything is dangerous
There’s nothing left to lose
Too scared to ever speak out the truth
We’ll keep it silent forever
Follow every step they gave
There’s no need to be afraid
If you’re scared just look away
Save for something far away
Live for a dream in vain
Listen to what they all say
Follow every step they gave
There’s no need to be afraid
If you’re scared just look away
Save for something far away
Live for a dream in vain
Listen to what they all say
But that’s not who we are
Born in Shanghai and now based in New York, Klyn crafts emotionally charged songs that speak to the quiet struggles and silent revolutions within us all.
Blending dark pop, indie pop, jazz, and alternative influences, her music feels both cinematic and deeply personal — a place where fear, hope, and rebellion coexist.
With a voice that carries both fragility and strength, she invites listeners to step beyond expectations and reclaim their truth. For anyone who's ever felt trapped between worlds or words, Klyn offers a sound that says: that's not who we are.
