In the shadows, where the secrets lay,  
This ain't a game, don’t play with the prey.  
Family's the fortress, you cross that line,  
You’ll see the ghost of what’s yours and mine.  

Hear the whispers in the dark, like a death knell,  
It’s like a story that nobody can tell.  
Underneath the moonlight, emotions ignite,  
I’m coming for you, it’s a hell of a fight.  

You mess with my blood, and I’m ready to rage,  
This love's a weapon, don’t step in the cage.  
Coming for my family, you’ll fall to the grave,  
With the fire inside me, nothing can save.  

Skulls and bones litter up the path I walk,  
The silence screams louder than any talk.  
Forty shades of fury, I’m ready to show,  
When the lights go out, it’s your time, you know.  

I’m unleashing the boxes you dared not cross,  
In this twisted game, you’re the one who gets lost.  
Soft like the petals but sharp as a knife,  
Do what you have to, but don’t take my life.  

And you’ll wish you never raised your head high,  
‘Cause the reaper’s got a debt and it's coming by.  
Crossed a boundary, now you’re out of your depth,  
In this fearsome dance, you don’t get a step.  

You mess with my blood, and I’m ready to rage,  
This love's a weapon, don’t step in the cage.  
Coming for my family, you’ll fall to the grave,  
With the fire inside me, nothing can save.  

In the cemetery of hopes, where shadows bend,  
This battle will end, but not ‘til I defend.  
Mess with the ones that I cherish most,  
Hear my warning, I’ll be the one you fear most.  

Chains rattling, like echoes of fate,  
I built my foundation, don’t you dare try to shake.  
Underneath the surface is where the real hate,  
But love's that armor, make no mistake.  

No forgiveness in this life, the stakes are too high,  
You’ll meet the specters, don’t even ask why.  
I’m the avenger, the heart pounding loud,  
In a world gone crazy, I’ll stand tall and proud.  

You mess with my blood, and I’m ready to rage,  
This love's a weapon, don’t step in the cage.  
Coming for my family, you’ll fall to the grave,  
With the fire inside me, nothing can save.  

In the ashes of dreams where the nightmares thrive,  
You think you can play, but I'll keep it alive.  
Echoes of loyalty, a bomb in the night,  
You won't see it coming, I’ll unfurl my might.  

Look in the eyes of a heart filled with fury,  
You brought this upon us, now no need to worry.  
With a flick of the wrist, you’ll see the truth come,  
This is the reckoning, hope you’re ready to run.  

Every moment you breathe, you’re inviting your fate,  
You lost your way in a world filled with hate.  
Hold onto your shadows, watch them collide,  
When the fury arises, there’s nowhere to hide.  

You mess with my blood, and I’m ready to rage,  
This love's a weapon, don’t step in the cage.  
Coming for my family, you’ll fall to the grave,  
With the fire inside me, nothing can save.  

This is the anthem, the call of the brave,  
In the silence of night, hear my heart wave.  
Mess with the ones that I cherish most,  
In this graveyard of dreams, I’ll be the ghost you fear most.  

With every heartbeat, I’m sharpening teeth,  
In a world of shadows, I’m the monster beneath.  
When family’s threatened, I’m the storm that arrives,  
With the strength of the tide, I’ll protect and survive.  

Every cut that you make, I’ll be there with a scar,  
Through the labyrinth of darkness, I’ll be your guiding star.  
So gather your courage, and ready your guns,  
For when the shadows fall, true justice runs.  

You mess with my blood, and I’m ready to rage,  
This love's a weapon, don’t step in the cage.  
Coming for my family, you’ll fall to the grave,  
With the fire inside me, nothing can save.  

With a heart full of fire and a soul made of grit,  
In this battle I’ll stand, I can’t afford to quit.  
Watch the tides of change, as they carve out a path,  
Mess with my blood, and you’ll face my wrath.  

So heed my warning, you’ve flirted with fate,  
In the shadows of night, don’t let it be too late.  
For the love of my family, I’ll be your end,  
In the graveyard of dreams, your soul I'll defend.

Captain Youk

Steel boots on the solar sand,
Neon blood on my weathered hands.
I ride the edge of time and flame,
No past to claim, no one to blame.

They whisper tales in the satellite rain,
Of a ghost in gear, breaking every chain.

Captain Youk, burning through the void,
Jet-black heart they couldn’t destroy.
Rogue of the stars, outlaw of fate,
I drive alone, but I never break.

City lights flicker in my rearview soul,
AI prophets lost control.
I hacked the sky, rewrote the code,
Now freedom rides this hyperspeed road.

Galaxies bend where I make my stand,
No crown, no crew
just a blaster in hand.
They tried to erase me, 
but I became myth,
A legend etched in cosmic drift.

Captain Youk, thunder in the chrome,
Built my throne where rebels roam.
Time won’t hold me, fate won’t bind,
I’m the glitch they’ll never find.

Captain Youk

Echo in My Mind

Where Am I From” is the title track of my 4–song album - a heartfelt song about searching for home, identity, and belonging. From standing by the water’s edge to listening to mountains whisper under the stars, it carries questions that live in every soul: Where do I belong? Who am I? This track is for anyone who has ever felt between places, yet found hope in the journey.

Where Am I from

Where Am I From

Verse 1
We’ve been chasing highs just to drown the lows,
Pour another glass ‘cause it feels like home.
Every touch is fire, but it fades too fast,
Love me in the moment ‘cause it’ll never last.
I can see the ending written in your eyes,
We’re just holding on to temporary lies.

Hook
There’s no future, only tonight,
We break in the dark, then we fade in the light.
There’s no future, baby, no matter how we try,
Just bodies in the fire, burning out of time.

Verse 2
You don’t say a word, but your silence screams,
We’re addicted lovers caught in broken dreams.
Every kiss is poison, every breath a sin,
We both know tomorrow we won’t let it in.
I can see the ending written in your eyes,
We’re just holding on to temporary lies.

Hook
There’s no future, only tonight,
We break in the dark, then we fade in the light.
There’s no future, baby, no matter how we try,
Just bodies in the fire, burning out of time.

Bridge
Say you love me, but it don’t survive.
We’re just ghosts tryin’ to stay alive.
Hearts on the floor, promises dry,
There’s no future… only goodbye.

Hook
There’s no future, only tonight,
We break in the dark, then we fade in the light.
There’s no future, baby, no matter how we try,
Just bodies in the fire, burning out of time.

Bodies in The Fire

Lost Inside Your Light drifts between intimacy and vastness. Built on deep, pulsing basslines, airy breakbeats, and cinematic strings. Ethereal vocals float through layers of reverb and delay, carrying lyrics about surrender, longing, and finding solace in someone’s light.
This is a song for late nights, headphones, and moments when you just want to disappear into the music. Dreamlike, emotional, and immersive, Lost Inside Your Light captures that timeless 90s electronic mood — but with a modern, polished edge.

STTAP (Set the Tunes and Play) is the artistic project of Ahmed Mokhtar, an Egyptian Musical Artist, DJ, Producer and creative technologist, crafting layered melodic worlds where human emotion meets digital imagination.

With a deep-rooted passion for sound since the early 2000s, Ahmed began creating layered DJ edits using stems before they became standard, later studying music theory and guitar to refine his craft. Over the years, he expanded his creative exploration into the video music industry, producing trailers and short films, which honed his ear for precise music timing and taught him the art of VFX layering and dynamic scheme building based on stems—skills that now deeply inform his structured yet emotive approach to music production.

Today, under STTAP, he writes, produces, and engineers his music entirely, focusing on clean, timeless compositions built on warm hooks and emotive synth atmospheres.

STTAP’s releases are not tied to a single vocal identity but are immersive, hybrid compositions blending electronic beats, dreamy melodies, abstract vocals, and precise grooves, creating soundscapes that invite listeners to get lost while staying connected to the pulse of the track.

This is music for those who believe in setting the tone and playing, for those who want to feel the silent pulse within every layered note.
