“Stranger In This Place” is part of Future’s Past, a new sonic journey by songwriter Aaron Davison, exploring time, consciousness, and the search for meaning in a broken world. Built around haunting guitars and cinematic production, the song tells the story of awakening from illusion and seeing the truth behind the world’s surface. It captures the loneliness and clarity that come from realizing the reality we live in might be a dream we created to find ourselves.

This track is from the forthcoming concept album “The End Is The Beginning,” a collection of songs about the nature of time and consciousness. The album explores how awakening often begins in isolation, when we start to question everything we thought was real. Each song represents a moment of realization, a glimpse of truth within the simulation, and a step closer to remembering who we really are.

Stranger In This Place

From Now On

From now on, I go ahead
Facing the hurricane, the storms, and the winds
So that nothing stops you anymore
And so that you feel ready

From now on, I think of you
Because if tomorrow surely won't be for me
I will have opened all the doors
So that you feel stronger

Oh, live to live
I no longer know
I don't know
I don't want
Waiting for your steps
Waiting, you're not here
Oh, live, survive
I don't want anymore
I don't want
I don't know
Where is that star
Toward which I should steer my sail

From now on
From now on
From now on

From now on, forgive me
If fear sometimes makes me say nonsense
I will manage to keep quiet
And if I lie, it is to please you

From now on, if I am here
If my hands reach out to you once more
It is my last prayer
I will leave the light ahead 

Oh, living to laugh
I no longer know
I don’t know
I don’t want to
Hearing your footsteps
Hearing my heart beat
Oh, living without laughter
I don’t want to anymore
I don’t want to
I don’t know
I would like, before my departure
To cross paths with your breath, your gaze
To touch your fingers but not too late

Dorénavant

[Verse]
Old rooftops breathe the memories slow
Dusty chimneys where the sparrows go
Cobblestones hum
They know my name
The wind tells stories
Never twice the same

[Chorus]
My home town whispers things only hearts can know
The cracks in the pavement
The places I used to go
It sings in shadows
It hums in light
A melody of longing
Soft as night

[Verse 2]
The market square with its fading paint
The echoes of laughter
A sweet constraint
Streetlights flicker like stars in disguise
Holding secrets behind their amber eyes

[Prechorus]
Oh the years can pass
But they don’t erase
The heartbeat hidden in this quiet place

[Chorus]
My home town whispers things only hearts can know
The cracks in the pavement
The places I used to go
It sings in shadows
It hums in light
A melody of longing
Soft as night

[Bridge]
The clock tower ticks in a language old
The trees stand guard
Their roots hold gold
I close my eyes and feel it near
The soul of my town
Forever here

The Otherside

This album moves through three states of being: the light we idealize, the polished self we perform, and the shadows we can’t escape.
It begins with a timeless, sun-lit love preserved in poetry, shifts into the tension of becoming the “better version” the world demands, and ends in the quiet places where echoes and ghosts still speak.

A journey through what we keep, what we lose, and what follows us anyway — a blend of warmth, fracture, and haunting afterglow.

A record about the versions of ourselves that survive.

things just fell apart

Lyrics : 

It arrives, unexpected  
Like a guillotine, like a mirage  
It falls relentless, no escape  
It haunts your waking, your sleep, your thoughts  

It ignites with a glance  
A vital spark, unmanageable  
Like a truck bearing down  
Walls collapse, barriers dissolve  
  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that hides in corners  
Invisible, inevitable  
Blind or fleeing, it finds you stronger  
  
Two beings never meant to meet  
Yet in the immensity, a miracle is born  
Then comes the wave, trembling  
A nausea of happiness, surprise, uncertainty  
  
The tidal surge turns everything upside down  
And strangely, back into place  
The tremors of the deepest self  
Defenses crumble  
  
Let's talk about love  
Born when nothing was expected  
In idleness, in refusal  
Until the sudden awakening, face to face  
  
Then butterflies, passion, irrational fire  
The heart erupting  
Jerky earthquakes, interrupted by dreams  
We dare to imagine  
  
It grows in silence,  
Between shadows and light  
It whispers in the night,  
It shouts in daylight  
No rules, no reason,  
Only the pulse of fusion  
  
Let's talk about love  
Shared beyond safeguards, beyond reason  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that burns and heals together  
  
Storms and calm,  
Collisions and peace  
Every heartbeat,  
A universe released  
Love is chaos,  
Love is grace  
  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that breaks and rebuilds  
Let's talk about love  
The kind that makes us real  
Let's talk about love  
Love.  
  
It arrives, unexpected  
Walls collapse, barriers dissolve  
Let's talk about love...  
Love.
