The world I knew is gone for good
Eyes once burned — we understood
Now blue light on every face
Trading touch for endless chase

They say “no time.” We comply.
Hours bleed while pages fly.
Wide-awake yet walking blind,
Warm little cage… then it grinds.

Look me in the eye (don’t blink)
Tell me we’re alive — not synced.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

I’ve seen marks in circuit shine,
Cameras track the body line.
Nature stands — we hollow out,
Living small in louder doubt.

I want you without the glass,
Truth unmasked, no filter pass.
Reach for you and feel you fade —
Terrified we’ll lose what made.

We were built to blaze and breathe —
Not to kneel beneath a feed.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

Rip it out — tear it down.
Burn the code — scorch the crown.
Run for trees — skin and bone.
Hold your ground — make it home.

(Help!) before the lights go dark.
(Help!) before they brand our hearts.
(Help!) before we’re names on file.
(Help!) before we lose the wild.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (rise up)
Cut the wires, break the lie,
Meet me where our eyes catch fire.
Not too far gone to feel again —
Breathe like we remember then.

Look at me…
Before we’re ghosts behind a screen.

Eyes Like Fire

Metamorphosis is an unflinching chronicle of transformation — the shedding of an old self, the breaking of chains, and the raw rebirth that follows. It’s an album forged in the tension between ruin and renewal, capturing the violent beauty of change through soaring anthems, haunting ballads, and unrelenting riffs.

Every track is a step in the evolution — from the first tear in the skin of the past to the breath of new air in a body finally made its own. The lyrics cut deep, tracing scars as maps of survival, while the music swells with both the weight of what was lost and the urgency of what’s to come.

The sound is visceral and atmospheric, blending grit with vulnerability — rust and ash giving way to light and heat. It is the sound of old worlds collapsing underfoot, of mirrors shattering, of truths finally worn without disguise.

This is not just an album about change. It is the soundtrack of becoming — the death of the past, the rebirth of the heart, and the fearless step into an unknown self.

Metamorphosis isn’t about who you were.
It’s about who you fight to become.

809 - Physical Wash

This song is about a place where Love is present in its purest and most eternal form...  With the way Love is absent and elusive today, I sing of it in a wistful and dreamy way because unfortunately it seems that a Love so true can only be one found in One's dreams... At its essence the song is a lullaby for a lover who at the moment is lost, but nevertheless still loved... 

Enjoy...  

With Love and With Light,
XristyJo
