Belle Nix – Don't Be Afraid – I'm Wicked but I Wish You Well | Plays with the image of the "wicked"
This song plays with the image of the “wicked woman” — the one who is feared, misunderstood, yet carries sincere and protective intentions. The title is an ironic and affectionate …confession: she embraces her darkness, but loves with intensity and honesty.
Don’t Be Afraid – I’m Wicked but I Wish You Well
[Verse 1]
I light my candles with a grin,
Whispering storms beneath my skin.
They say I curse, they say I bite,
But darling, I could treat you right.
I dance with shadows, call the crows,
Wear perfume laced with midnight rose.
I’ve burned the past, I’ve kissed the flame,
But I remember your sweet name.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked but I wish you well.
I’ve walked through fire, but I won’t drag you to hell.
Yes, I’ve got claws, and yes, I cast a spell…
But when I hold you, it’s real — can’t you tell?
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked but I wish you well.
[Verse 2]
I’ve broken hearts with velvet lips,
Sunk ships with just a sway of hips.
But you, you saw behind my eyes,
The part that aches, the part that cries.
I never promised to be good,
But I’d protect you if I could.
So if you trust this thorny queen,
I’ll show you things you’ve never seen.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked but I wish you well.
I’ve made mistakes, but never where you dwell.
Yes, I wear black, and yes, I raise some hell…
But you bring out the soft inside my shell.
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked but I wish you well.
[Bridge]
I’ve got potions for your pain,
Moonlight singing through my veins.
And if you fall, I’ll take the blow—
Just say the word, and I won’t go.
[Final Chorus]
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked but I wish you well.
I’ve danced with demons, but I broke their spell.
Yes, I’m a storm, but in your arms I fell…
So if you’re brave, I’ll never say farewell.
Don’t be afraid — I’m wicked… but I wish you well.

Belle Nix – Don't Be Afraid – Thorns Like Me | a dark yet intimate ballad (Original Music Video)
“Thorns Like Me” is a dark yet intimate ballad that explores the idea […]
“Thorns Like Me” is a dark yet intimate ballad that explores the idea of loving someone who doesn’t fit the mold of softness or purity. Belle Nix sings from the …perspective of a woman marked by the past, misunderstood, but fiercely protective of what she truly cherishes. The line “Don’t be afraid of thorns like me” is both a warning and an invitation — to embrace complexity, darkness, and real, imperfect love.
This song belongs to the same mythic feminine universe as “Honey and Hemlock” and “Don’t Be Afraid — I’m Wicked but I Wish You Well,” completing a trio of songs that reveal power and tenderness existing side by side.
Thorns Like Me
[Verse 1]
I sleep where silence makes its throne,
In corners hearts have left alone.
You saw the smoke before the flame,
But never asked me why I came.
I’ve been the shadow, not the scream,
The villain in someone else’s dream.
But every wound you try to hide,
I’ve worn it too, just on the outside.
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t promise wings or light,
But I will hold you through the night.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
I bloom in dark so you can see.
I never claimed to be divine,
But I will guard what others mine.
So let me in — not perfectly —
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me.
[Verse 2]
I speak in truths that sting and heal,
My hands remember how to feel.
You think I love like broken glass,
But darling, that was in the past.
I’ve cursed, I’ve burned, I’ve walked away,
But never once from those who stay.
If you don’t run, I’ll show you how
Even a storm can soften now.
[Pre-Chorus]
You want a rose without a fight,
But beauty’s born in sleepless nights.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
I’m wild, but I am not your enemy.
I never said I’d bring you peace,
But I will love you piece by piece.
So come and stand where others flee —
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me.
[Bridge]
And when the moon forgets to rise,
I’ll be the truth behind your lies.
A voice that sings when no one stays,
A flame that loves in shadowed ways.
[Final Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
My heart still bleeds, but beats honestly.
I won’t be soft, but I’ll be true,
A darker path that leads to you.
No need for perfect — just believe:
Don’t be afraid… of thorns like me.

Belle Nix – Don't Be Afraid – Honey and Hemlock | Explores the duality of a dangerous woman
“Honey and Hemlock” explores the duality of the woman labeled as […]
“Honey and Hemlock” explores the duality of the woman labeled as dangerous. She is not gentle by conventional standards, yet she carries tenderness within her darkness. The reference to hemlock …and honey symbolizes this contrast between poison and care, beauty and threat — and the possibility of loving someone exactly as they are, without needing to purify their essence.
Honey and Hemlock
[Verse 1]
I speak in riddles, walk in lace,
A crooked smile on a porcelain face.
They say my love’s a loaded spell,
A kiss that tastes like caramel and hell.
I light a match, then warm your hand,
I never ask you to understand.
But if you stay, I’ll show you grace—
The kind that lives in a haunted place.
[Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, darling, can’t you tell?
A bitter bloom with a velvet shell.
I’m not your angel, but I mean no harm,
Just thorns and fire wrapped in charm.
So don’t run scared from where I dwell—
I’m wicked, yes… but I wish you well.
[Verse 2]
My lullabies are lined with teeth,
I’ve worn regret like a crown beneath.
But I won’t lie, and I won’t break—
I guard the hearts that others take.
You see the storm, I see the sky,
You flinch, but I just ask you why.
They taught you fear in every frame,
But I am not the one to blame.
[Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, darling, can’t you tell?
A spell half-healed and cast too well.
I’m not your savior, but I see your scars,
I hold your truth in shattered jars.
So lean in close, don’t fear the swell—
I’m wicked, love… but I wish you well.
[Bridge]
Don’t paint me pure, I won’t pretend,
But I’ll be fierce until the end.
No prince, no prayer, just me and flame—
A dark embrace that knows your name.
[Final Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, sweet and sharp as hell.
A shadow’s touch with a fragile spell.
But if you’re brave, if you don’t flee—
You just might find some peace in me.
So take my hand, and time will tell—
I’m wicked, yes… but I wish you well.

Belle Nix – Don't Be Afraid – Where the Fear Begins | The tender, terrifying space between hearts
“Where the Fear Begins” is one of Belle Nix’s most vulnerable songs. […]
“Where the Fear Begins” is one of Belle Nix’s most vulnerable songs. It speaks to the hidden place where intimacy and fear meet — the tender, terrifying space between hearts. …Through this song, Belle doesn’t offer salvation or fantasy, but a raw connection, encouraging her listener to embrace what is real, painful, and beautiful.
Where the Fear Begins
[Verse 1]
You say my name like it’s a spell,
Unsure if I’m your hope or hell.
But what you fear is not my skin—
It’s what I stir deep there within.
I see you flinch when I get near,
Not from danger, but from fear.
Of what you’ll feel, of what you’ll lose,
Of who you’ll be if you choose.
[Pre-Chorus]
But love was never clean or tame,
And I have never played that game.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid—this isn’t war.
You don’t need armor anymore.
I won’t break you, I won’t win…
I’ll meet you where the fear begins.
Don’t be afraid—just take my hand.
You’ll understand me when you stand
Inside the fire, calm and thin—
Where hearts reveal what hides within.
[Verse 2]
I won’t pretend I’m made of light,
I’ve made my peace with love and night.
But when I speak, I speak it true:
My shadow kneels to comfort you.
I’ve kissed the wounds I couldn’t close,
I’ve held the rain, I’ve loved like ghosts.
So if you tremble, that’s okay—
Just don’t turn your soul away.
[Pre-Chorus]
You want a map, but I’m the tide…
You won’t find love if you must hide.
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid—just breathe me in.
You’ll only lose what’s made of sin.
I won’t control, I won’t begin
A war with who you’ve always been.
Don’t be afraid—I see your core.
You’ve never been this bare before…
But that’s the place where love can win—
Right where the fear begins.
[Bridge]
If you walk back, I won’t pursue—
But something real just passed through you.
You’ll hear my voice when you can’t sleep,
Whispering secrets you still keep…
[Final Chorus]
Don’t be afraid—I’m not a flame,
I’m just a mirror with a name.
I won’t pretend, I won’t defend…
But I am yours, not just pretend.
So if you’re brave, let this begin—
Right where the fear begins.

Belle Nix – Don't Be Afraid – Touch Me Through the Smoke | Haunting plea to be seen not as a danger
“Touch Me Through the Smoke” is a haunting plea from Belle Nix to be […]
“Touch Me Through the Smoke” is a haunting plea from Belle Nix to be seen not as a danger, but as a woman whose truth lives beyond appearances. The smoke …is her aura — mysterious, intense, and feared — but behind it lies a sincere, vulnerable heart. This song captures the essence of loving someone as they are, no matter how wild, scarred, or misunderstood.
Touch Me Through the Smoke
[Verse 1]
I know I’m not the light you planned,
Not the flower, but the flame in your hand.
You see a warning in my eyes,
Like every kiss could end in lies.
But I don’t wear this black to hide,
It’s just the skin where truth resides.
I’ve bled in silence just to show—
Not every shadow wants your soul.
[Chorus]
Touch me through the smoke,
Don’t run when I’m too real.
I’m not the fear you wrote,
I’m just the fire you feel.
Come close and take the risk,
I’m more than myth and cloak—
You’ll find a heart that aches,
If you touch me through the smoke.
[Verse 2]
I’ve been the echo in the hall,
The name they whisper when they fall.
But I was born with open hands,
I love too deep for simple plans.
You want a truth that doesn’t burn,
But baby, that’s not how we learn.
If you’re brave enough to stay,
I’ll give you night that sings like day.
[Chorus]
Touch me through the smoke,
Don’t fear what you can’t name.
I’m not a curse you broke,
I’m the truth beneath the flame.
No need to tame my storm,
Just see me, don’t revoke—
The love that waits inside,
If you touch me through the smoke.
[Bridge]
I’m not your savior, not your sin,
I’m just a place you’ve never been.
So come with fire in your breath—
And dance with me through life and death.
[Final Chorus]
Touch me through the smoke,
Be still and let me be.
The world has closed its doors,
But you could set me free.
If you don’t flinch, if you don’t choke,
If you believe in what I spoke—
You’ll find your peace, not pain…
When you touch me through the smoke.
