Karianne Gabaldon

Karianne Nicole Gabaldon is a Songwriter from Hugo, Oklahoma. She has been writing lyrics since the age of 13. She wrote her first actual song in 2010 at the age of 18. She works on, not only songs, but books. She is a published author, poet, and screenwriter as well. She had started to write for music artist, Jordan Carroll, but it didn’t turn out. She had also written for other musicians that had used her work but not exactly partnered up with her. She has schizophrenia, but puts her pain into writing. Her mother, biological father, and stepfather are all incredible musicians who most likely made Karianne the songwriter she is today. She loves her life so much and is so grateful for the people in it — especially those who chose to follow her on her journey through writing.

Inside the mind of a schizophrenic; what a schizophrenic hears, sees, feels, etc. and it’s the voice of schizophrenia. It’s to raise awareness for psychosis.
This is about when I was at an all-time low and didn’t know where else to go. Suddenly a man walked into my life casually and I turned to him. I didn’t have any regrets. He was special. And he was there for me.
These are fictional lyrics about a young lady diagnosed with cancer. I wrote a fan fiction short story called Lucy In The Sky and I made a song for it...this is that very song.
These lyrics are about knowing that you have mental problems but embracing them. Embracing the fact that you’re psychotic; that your illness doesn’t control you, you control your illness. Pretty much, the reason I wrote this was because ever since I was first diagnosed (16 years old), I’ve been made fun of, teased, abandoned, etc... so I just thought it’d be a fun way of saying, “hey! I know I’m crazy but that’s okay!” It’s a little weird, yes. I agree. Oh and another major reason these words came to mind is because us schizophrenics are constantly being judged and underrated just because of the way we “act out”, but I just want to say that not every schizophrenic is that way, and not every psychotic break is that way. We don’t like to be judged in an unfriendly manner. It’s not fair.
This one is about me as well. You see, I’m in very bad health mentally (with schizoaffective disorder) and pretty bad shape physically as well. I have a lot of both mental and physical problems. And these words came to me whenever I was feeling like nobody cared about my health. People kept calling me a hypochondriac until the doctors finally figured me out...for the most part. My family and friends felt like idiots. But these lyrics don’t seem like much and they kind of seem a little boring, but believe me, I had feeling when I wrote this.
