Lyrics:

When I step out the door
Keep it simple but you want more
Like a fire I'll be burning 
Keep the cold out yet you're yearning 
You want to see a look underneath 
But I stay true to my teeth 

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

When I walk on the scene
All I want is to be seen
Like a diamond I'll be shining
You know you're only buying
Everyone wants a piece
But only if you have a leese
Grand carpet red carpet
Any show I'm only yours

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Look and see he's all around the block
Do you see he's around every corner
Have you seen he's in every shady alley
Have you seen 
Look and see
Look and see

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Our Father

I nearly called it "Random" but I've tried my best to make the piece flow in some way. I just enjoyed going outside my creative comfort zone and try something new.

My Landscape - Jpiera (Psicotrònic Scapes Remix)

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T77-20kDRtU

Dive into 'cold_agony', where the experimental meets the emotional in a soundscape that's as haunting as it is energizing. This track is a journey through a dark, icy world, where the relentless beat of a heart echoes in every thump of the kick drum. It's a sonic landscape painted with contrasts – the raw power of a deep, sweeping bassline against the ethereal echo of a siren-like female choir.

As the tempo builds, the energy peaks, transforming into an electrifying pulse that grips you with its rapid, intense rhythm. Amidst this storm of sound, screeching synths battle with a melancholic piano melody, each note a reminder of the beauty that can exist in the depths of despair.

'cold_agony' is more than just a song; it's an experience. It's the sound of a soul screaming into the void, tears turning to ice in a world frozen in time. Let yourself be engulfed by its power, and feel the raw emotion that drives every beat. This is not just music; it's a cathartic release, a journey into the heart of darkness, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Lyrics:
Hold on to me.
Let go of me.
I'm free again.
I'm dead again.
I can't hide
from the sickness inside,
taking over my mind;
now, I'm blind.
Show me the path,
and I'll channel my wrath,
all of me in this cold agony.

"See Straight Through Me" by lilac frog
Track 10 from lilac pond

Lyrics:
Who are you seeing, babe I'm dreaming
Out of my body is my life
It's all I know
Been seeing faces in these places
So familiar, I'm a ghost
I drift and roam
I've got a void that I call home

In his reflection, there's a stranger
But I sense I know more than I should about him
Oh, what about him?
Was a connection and I lost it
At some point I must have forgot it
And he's rising up above this

I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
I can't see clear this time
I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
You see straight through me
I can't hi-i-ide, yeah

Say I've degraded, rearrange it
Do you get the same result?
I wouldn't know
I'm just a person, I'm a no-one
I don't recognise my host
I've gotta go
Would you blame me though?

In his reflection, there's a stranger
But I sense I know more than I should about him
Oh, what about him?
Was a connection and I lost it
At some point I must have forgot it
And he's rising up above this

I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
I can't see clear this time
I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
You see straight through me
I can't hi-i-ide

And all of the times I wanted to die
I wanted to never be seen in the light
Again
And all of the times I left him behind
I peered through the cracks and crawled back to my mind
This isn't the end

(And all of the times I wanted to die)
(I wanted to never be seen in the light, yeah)

I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
I can't see clear this time
I've tried a thousand times
To get you off my mind
You see straight through me
I can't hi-i-ide

I can't hide
Come back to me, come back to me
You see, you see straight through me
