Produced by L3GION, Merges’ latest single, Truman Show, is a captivating juxtaposition.
Lyrically, it delves into the disillusionment of being trapped in an artificial romance, with Merges’ vocals laced with vulnerability as she laments lines like “I could be anywhere, feel like I coulda been just anyone to you, supporting role and I’m just playing the part you wrote.”
Yet, sonically, there’s an undeniable romance and nostalgia to the track.
The lush, throwback R&B production instantly transports listeners to those signature late-night quiet storm radio sets.
Merges’ airy, whispery vocals only add to the seductive atmosphere, even as her lyrics cut with brutal honesty about love’s darker truths.
Even though it’s a song about longing and being disillusioned by a facade, there’s something inherently romantic and inviting about the sound itself.
Merges’ ability to blend vulnerability with sultry delivery makes for a captivating dichotomy.
As Truman Show unfolds, Merges’ mood evolves from resigned to resilient. “You’re afraid that’s why you can’t leave, you show me, I accept reality,” she declares, her voicefinding a steady strength. It’s an honest self-reckoning set to silky, intoxicating music.

MERGES x L3GION Truman Show Lyrics
I’m scared love lost its magic
Like dreaming of Los Angeles
City of dreams
Now it’s just the city i live in
I Could be any where
Feel like i coulda been just anyone to you
Supporting role
And im just playing the part you wrote
Was it even real?
It’s true men get carried away
It’s all a show
And you’re just playing the part you know
Go wild
Go crazy
My baby
Knew it from the jump you’d leave
But if you want some company
And now
Next scene, parking lot conversations
At the Home Depot was the nail in the coffin
And it’s clear to me, i can see what you’re saying
Are you happy now?
I Could be any where
Feel like i coulda been just anyone to you
Supporting role
And im just playing the part you wrote
Was it even real?
It’s true men get carried away
It’s all a show
And you’re just playing the part you know
You’re afraid that’s why you can’t leave
You show me, I accept reality
What’s the point of looking at the moon
Cue the sun I wanna wake up new
