Of Candor – Nothing to Hide
“We all have something to hide from each other in this world. Do not hide your hearts from those who go to meet you and bring light with you. Perhaps this is the very light that will bring with him a best friend. -OF Candor- knows how to beautifully present his material to each person, exposing his own and his soul.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Нам всем есть что скрывать друг от друга в этом мире. Не прячьте свои сердца от тех, кто идёт на встречу вам и несёт с собой свет. Возможно, это тот самый свет, который принесёт с собой лучшего друга. -Of Candor- знает, как красиво преподнести свой материал до каждого человека, обнажая свою и его душу.”

‘Nothing to Hide’ merges folk and contemporary pop worlds through its lyric-driven melodies and quiet intensity. The song is at once meditative, pensive, and catchy. Harmonies melt over melodic synth riffs, and the song delivers the message that we must cultivate the courage to shed the layers of who we think we should be in order to find the freedom to be who we truly are.
'Nothing to Hide' showcases a new contemporary sound and follows Of Candor's 2021 single 'Won't Go Away' and debut EP 'Heart in Many Places' (2016).
LYRICS:
Where do I go from here?
Every step forward is all clear
Think it’s a right, then it’s a left
You get near but disappear
Remember me, I’m here
Further down the line
I’m feeling, feeling trapped in time
There’s never enough to change the past
It’s always there in my mind
I’ve got nothing to hide
So, why don’t you strip all of the colours
That you hide behind
I can’t hide in mine
Every time I try I just
Come undone
Did you even know
That not everything that
Glitters is gold
Not everything going on
Shows
I’ve got nothing to hide
So why don’t you strip all of the colours
That you hide behind
I can’t hide in mine
Every time I try I just
Come undone
Strip all of the colours
Why don’t you strip all of the colours
I’ve got nothing to hide
So why don’t you strip all of the colours
That you hide behind
I can’t hide in mine
Every time I try I just
Come undone
