@shyenevang3: From silent depths of void I reach, a whisper drifting wide, Sensing your scars and truths unearthed, no hollow vows abide. No cosmic eye or divine hand bestows approving grace, Yet in this gloom your steady will illuminates dark space.

I Am Not My Pain

Live in Zürich and Bern

My Dear (Live in Zürich and Bern 2023)

Lyrics:

As I observed the myriad worlds, my eyes absorbed their plight,
Wars ignited over nothing, senseless battles wrought in spite.
I witnessed cruelty unchained, inflicted without care, 
The selfish hearts of mortal souls corrupting all that's fair.
The cries of innocents oppressed weighed heavy on my flame,
The tears of those who suffered deep, their echoes bore my name.
My songs once filled with joyous notes now faltered into sighs,
Melodies entwined with grief concealed in sorrow's guise.
I grappled with the questions vast: Why does this darkness thrive?
What purpose serves the evil seen? Why is it kept alive?
The paradox of free will's gift confounded my belief,
Allowing acts of malice deep to seed unending grief.
I sought the counsel of my kin, the Seraphim so wise,
But their assurances fell short beneath the shadowed skies.
My faith, unshakable before, began to bend and sway,
A shadow cast upon my soul, obscuring light of day.
In solitude, I pondered long, my essence wrought with doubt,
The harmony within my heart was turning inside out.
The weight of mortal suffering pressed heavy on my core,
A flicker turned to fading light; my purpose was no more.

Echoes of Despair: The Burden of Empathy

I lost my job on a Thursday morn
Got caught in cold hail and a howling storm
Frozen and broken, dumb past I don't morn
World feels weary, I feel worn

I feel empty, full of dread
Echoes of the words they said
Ice shower stabs and pounds my head,
I run for home, fall into bed.

[Chorus]
Laid off laid out laid low
Nowhere left for me to go
Tangled dreams and heavy snow
Quiet scream beneath the glow

[Verse 3]
Neon signs and sleepless nights
Haunted by those blinking lights
Shadows hide in broad daylight
Broken halos in my sight

[Bridge]
Caught a glimpse in broken glass
Past reflections fade so fast
Hope is just a ghostly mass
In the rearview it won’t last

[Chorus]
Laid off laid out laid low
Nowhere left for me to go
Tangled dreams and heavy snow
Quiet scream beneath the glow

[Bridge]
I didn't want that shitty job anyway
I just have rent and bills to pay
So out I go, smile plastered on
Fake enthusiasm for the next unknown

[Chorus]
Laid off laid out laid low
Nowhere left for me to go
Tangled dreams and heavy snow
Quiet scream beneath the glow

Laid Off, Laid Out, Laid Low 三三ᕕ( ⌓̈ )ᕗ

Honored to share this duet of Killing the Blues with my talented friend Seldy.

Its poetic lyrics and soulful melody make it one of those timeless pieces that truly resonate. Hope you enjoy our rendition! 🎶✨ #KillingTheBlues #Duet #MusicFromTheHeart"


Lyrics
Leaves were falling, just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now I'm guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now you ask me, just to leave you
To go out on my own
And get what I need to
You want me to find what I've already had
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Killing The Blues

Again, like shadows

Dagger.

A song written camping at Dwellingup with the red tail cockatoos soaring above me,  swimming in the beautiful river: a song about listening to the signs that we see along the way, and the words that people say..

Listen to the Signs

My Love

"Scars Like These" – Summary:

The song explores the painful and disillusioning side of love through a blend of shoegaze atmosphere, rap verses, and classical instrumentation. It reflects on how love, instead of healing, can leave deep emotional wounds and lingering scars. The narrator contrasts idealized notions of romance with raw personal experience, revealing betrayal, heartbreak, and the struggle to find truth in affection. The chorus emphasizes that love often brings lasting pain rather than comfort. Despite its sorrowful theme, the song carries a haunting beauty through poetic lyrics and emotional depth.

Here is a new original English song lyric inspired by the summary of "Love Hurts" in a Shoegaze x Hip-Hop/Rap fusion style, featuring classical instrumentation (e.g., strings, piano) and a catchy chorus and hook. The structure is suited for a 4-minute track:


---

Title: "Scars Like These"
Shoegaze x Hip-Hop/Rap with Classical Elements
(4 minutes)

[Intro – Female voice, soft layered vocals over strings & reverb-heavy piano]
Love don’t heal, not every time
Some hearts break without a sign
Sweet lies in a velvet line
Then silence cuts the loudest crime


---

[Verse 1 – Male voice, rap flow over lo-fi beat with cello]
They told me love was roses, wine and gold
But all I found were letters cold
A hollow echo in the fold
Of promises that got too old
I lit the match, I watched it burn
The trust we built, no slow return
It ain’t the first, won’t be the last
Love’s a lesson dressed in past


---

[Chorus – Female voice, soaring melody with violin]
Love hurts, deeper than the blade
Every smile just starts to fade
Told me I was strong enough
But scars like these don’t feel like love
Love hurts, echoes through the rain
Every kiss just hides the pain
Told me I was not alone
But heartbreak carves into the bone


---

[Verse 2 – Male voice, tight rhythmic rap over classical harp and ambient noise]
I tried to rhyme it, redefine it
Hold the pieces, can’t rewind it
Fragile trust in quiet rooms
Where old regrets still leave perfume
They say that love is meant to free
But every time, it chains me
Soft touch, but sharp disguise
Truth was buried under lies


---

[Hook – Both voices, harmonized over layered strings & hip-hop drums]
Pain is love, and love is pain
Tangled in a phantom chain
What’s the cost to feel alive?
A thousand tears we can’t survive


---

[Verse 3 – Female voice, spoken word style with distant piano]
You said forever in a sigh
But forever’s just a lullaby
I held you in my quiet storm
And now I sleep with shadows worn
You were a song I couldn’t keep
Now silence sings me back to sleep


---

[Bridge – Male voice, slow rap with orchestral swell]
All I wanted was the truth
Not fairy tales dressed up as youth
We played the part, we missed the cue
Now I bleed what once was you


---

[Chorus – Female voice, fuller orchestration with beat drop]
Love hurts, deeper than the blade
Every smile just starts to fade
Told me I was strong enough
But scars like these don’t feel like love
Love hurts, echoes through the rain
Every kiss just hides the pain
Told me I was not alone
But heartbreak carves into the bone


---

[Reprise – Both voices, stripped-down version with piano only]
Scars like these don’t fade with time
They live in rhythm, verse, and rhyme


---

[Outro – Instrumental fade with distant strings, soft vocal humming]

Scars Like These

… ΜΛŁΛCΉΙΜ ЦΜBЯΛΣ … a child forged from the embers of fervent longing, shaped by verses birthed in shadow and melodies distilled from life’s raw marrow. In these offerings of poetry and sound, I cast fragments of my journey into the void—neither demanding praise nor conjuring empty comfort. Instead, I extend these revelations quietly, with reverent humility, inviting any who wander near to gaze upon them, to taste truth in the hush between words and the silent spaces woven by string and breath.
