Description: Just a piece I made in my free time. Maybe it has a hidden story in it, who knows...

Today my debut album "Hope in Chaos'' is out! This album is made of 12 tracks all sung, produced, and written by me. 

I wanted to tell a story inspired by the tale of Pandora's box. The Greek tale follows the goddess Pandora who opens a forbidden box out of her own curiosity, thus unleashing chaos, diseases, and sins into the universe. The one thing that was left behind was hope. This album is about reaching into the unknown, fighting chaos against all odds, and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I staged my track list in a similar fashion to the stages of overcoming grief. In the first song “Chaos (Prelude)” my last spoken lyric says “I’ll soar among the chaos”. That is why the last song of the album is called “Fly”. The songs “Where You Are”, and “Ghost” are songs about breakups and wanting them back in your life. “Breakdown” and “Sins” are angry songs dwelling on the situations that have happened. “18” is about my female story. “Bullseye” is taking action and reaching for ambition to turn your life around. “Hope” is the interlude from the emotions of Chaos to Hope. From here on, the album becomes more hopeful and bright. “At least It was Fun” and “Dystopia” are songs about accepting your past, and current conditions. “True Colors” and “Fly” are about happiness and resolve. I hope you all enjoy listening to this project of mine that I hold very close to my heart. Thank you all for your support :)

Lyrics:
(Chorus)
I don't feel right
I don't think right
To my will you'll be confined
No control of my mind
Hate myself fuck this life
I can't live but can't die
Hell is bliss, where I thrive
Know I've lost myself this time

(Verse 1)
Here it comes again, the fever pulsing from the monster
My face locked inside a mirror, loaded barrel says it wants her
Fucking psycho, spell my sins with OCD and BPD
I took a decade off to fix it then they said they couldn't help me
Manipulated everyone to live the way I wanted
Just to cauterize all of the fucking thoughts by which I'm haunted
I'll do anything to quiet every whisper that's inside
Swear to God you interrupt and I'll make sure you fucking die
You'll never know if it was you or me who pulled the trigger
I'm your friend and I'm your killer, I'm the love you'll reconsider
Sold my soul before I had one, now you'll suffer from my fate
Call me 'angel' but the corners of my mind are all serrate
While I speak to you you'll grin without you knowing what I've done
I've fucking burned your every sense of self and only just begun
I swear I screw up all your shit to please the monster in my brain
Once I've satisfied its hunger I'm reminded I'm insane

(Chorus)
I don't feel right
I don't think right
To my will you'll be confined
No control of my mind
Hate myself fuck this life
I can't live but can't die
Hell is bliss, where I thrive
Know I've lost myself this time

(Verse 2)
Pour a glass of wine while I watch you bleed out
Offer you a hand once I've sewn up your mouth
Fucking need to feel bad, offer to the Triad
Bastard didn't save me 'fore I straight-up went mad
Fuck the anal bitches who are 'so OCD'
I'll show you how that titan really looks in 3D
Wish I could forget but "The past never dies!"
I'm a sociopath, I'm who you should have "watched with both eyes"
"Pick a god and pray" that I'll slit your throat well
The last thing that you want is to serve in my hell
My fire's flames blue, finna entice you
"My aching blood" will burn my own skin 'fore I let you breakthrough
Jealous of the freedom that you have over your psyche
Why do I not deserve it? What the hell's wrong with me?
Now, time you fuckers come inside and offer me your life
Take your final breath and learn the reason why they call me 'Strife'

(Chorus)
I don't feel right
I don't think right
To my will you'll be confined
No control of my mind
Hate myself fuck this life
I can't live but can't die
Hell is bliss, where I thrive
Know I've lost myself this time

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Strife - Melody]
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow
I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know that if 

(Chorus 1)
[Strife - Melody]
[Kelsey Luo - Harmony]
I can't be close to you
I settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life (more than life)
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life

(Verse 2)
[Kelsey Luo - Melody]
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I need more time but time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind but I could follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know that if 

(Chorus 2)
[Kelsey Luo - Melody]
[Strife - Harmony]
I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life, yeah
And if you can't be close to me
Your memory is ecstasy 
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
Can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life

(Chorus 3)
[Strife - Melody/Harmony]
[Kelsey Luo - Harmony/Melody]
And if I can't get close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life

Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Lose me once you've used me, confuse me
My arms are open for the next one to refuse me
Eyes wide, knees weak, smile steady
The worst words I'll ever say are "yes I'm ready"

(Verse 1)
I didn't have a reason 'til I found a way to hide it
I tried to keep it in the dark and now I'm lost inside it
You took one look and left me broken, bleeding, hopeless, dying
You birthed a weakness in my heart that I keep pacifying
Oh God it hurts to hear you claiming that you truly love me
Each step I take towards you's a step away from all I could be
I lay abandoned in this false dream that you fabricated
You stole my life, all that I was, and left me desecrated

(Chorus)
Lose me once you've used me, confuse me
My arms are open for the next one to refuse me
Eyes wide, knees weak, smile steady
The worst words I'll ever say are "yes I'm ready"

(Verse 2)
I'm so drained right now (I am)
Sorry but I can't talk now (no)
I wanna right my wrongs but I can only write my wrongs on the songs (song)
In my bed staring at the phone all alone
Smoke some weed and get in the zone (smoke)
I wanna say some things last time to each other
Not bad people just bad together
You told me you'd be there forever
One year later it's getting all over
No cap, so many things I said, so many things unsaid
Wish there were some better ways
I hope you wake up and see better days (on God)

(Chorus)
Lose me once you've used me, confuse me
My arms are open for the next one to refuse me
Eyes wide, knees weak, smile steady
The worst words I'll ever say are "yes I'm ready"

Distress Signal

Song: "Break With Me"
Artist: Strife
Vocals and Lyrics: Strife
Instrumental by: Alan Otero
Mixed and Mastered by:  Francesco Petrelli
Youtube Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/crtC0TXXxsI

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Have you come to save me? I'm awake now that you're here
I've waited for a heart to beat against but gave up every year
Silence helped devour me, I welcomed shadow's reign
I left a trail for you to find me, every effort lost in vain
I cannot touch but through a screen, I only wish I could abscise
A little further now I've fallen, in your world I am baptized
He sleeps but soundly 'til the morning as I bathe in deprecation
From the eyes that never watch me... only you trigger pulsation
But my mind knows that it's broken and my essence cut in two
A fleeting image that you've touched me and I'll still reach out to you
They left me lying in the void, I do not care long as you're here
I'll glaze my eyes so I can function, in your fire I will sear

(Chorus)
Soft, sweet nothings in my ear are whispered by another's voice
Precious circles traced beneath my eyes to show I had a choice
I breathe your name for hours, nuzzle right up to your chest
You vow that you will break with me and I become obsessed

(Verse 2)
What things have I never said before? What lies have I never told?
I live in error. Manifested lore that now I must withhold.
You are a secret that I flaunt, you are a truth that never was
You are the feeling deep inside of me I summon just to pause
The crippling chaos in my head conflicting with my lust for peace
I have to lose you, but in anguish, for I don't want a surcease
Of all the love that I have found in every word you never spoke
At this point I'm only living for the warmth that you invoke
I am a flaw inside the diamond all those people thought I was--
A disappointment to the masses claiming I'm here for a cause
But you accept me, you embrace me, you care not for petty things
Because you don't exist at all; I am the puppet on your strings

(Chorus)
Soft, sweet nothings in my ear are whispered by another's voice
Precious circles traced beneath my eyes to show I had a choice
I breathe your name for hours, nuzzle right up to your chest
You vow that you will break with me and I become obsessed

(Chorus)
Soft, sweet nothings in my ear are whispered by another's voice
Precious circles traced beneath my eyes to show I had a choice
I breathe your name for hours, nuzzle right up to your chest
You vow that you will break with me and I become obsessed

Break With Me

"Break With Me"

Song: "A Million Miles Away" from 'Belle' [Rock/Metal Cover]
Vocals: Strife
Rock/Metal Instrumental Arrangement: TailOff Music
Mixed and Mastered by: Francesco Petrelli
Youtube Lyric Video:  https://youtu.be/YsvjyurWzAs

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Light glimmers in a flower
Like jewels in a dream
The sky breathes life, love to everything
At times I've thought "I'm not enough"
The chains that tied my heart
But there's still a path that lies ahead for you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
Memories fade away
Clouds of yesterday
With no one to love
Is this life worth living?

[Chorus]
Come back to me, and stay by my side
I feel my heart shake
Come, ease this ache
I'm standing over here, reaching for you
A million miles away, come back and stay

[Post-Chorus]
No matter how far the memories may be
When I close my eyes, you're all that I see
Come back to me
A million miles away, come back and stay

[Interlude]

La la la la (repeated)

[Verse 2]
Sing, let your heart soar!
Sing forever!
Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over, now
Our world is full of all kinds of colors
Closing my eyes I can still see the stars
Shine in the sky, sing their harmony
Flowers, they're blooming, oh it's beautiful!

[Outro]
Sing! Sing! Sing!
Sing this song, I won't stop now
Sing it through, I love you
The voice carries on

A Million Miles Away Rock/Metal Cover

"A Million Miles Away" from 'Belle' [Rock/Metal Cover by Strife]

Simple canción basada en errores, en que debemos entender que no podemos hacer las cosas dos veces, basada en cosas que ya pasaron.

Letra:

Nunca te haz preguntado, que podria pasar
Si al pasar de los años, pudieras regresar
Tendrias el tiempo de verlo que esta mal
los malos recuerdos, lograrias borrar

Disfrutar momentos, que no viste venir
sentir desde un principio lo que debes sentir
pero el remordimiento te puede cortar
y arrepentirse, el acto final

Busca alternativas, ver como mejorar
Que tus situaciones las sepas manejar
no siempre se da una segunda oportunidad
debes aprovechar lo que el tiempo te da

Si te dan la mano, no nos tomes el pié
no pidas la luna, justo al amanecer
No quieras correr cuando te quieras calmar
haz algo que tu alma pueda soportar

Y no es que este mal, podria ser peor
 vence a tus demonios, destruye ese dolor
Los errores existen para conocer
en lo que alguien mas podria caer   

[Coro] x2
aveces las razones que me persigan o me quieran atrapar  
aveces las acciones son las que cuentan y tu no las contarás	   
demuestro que lo que digo es verdad
es tu problema si  no quieras cambiar
pero con honestidad
aveces todo el mundo puede fallar  



ante el deseo de que todo este bien
existen ideas dentro de tu ser
que crecen y crean la mala decision
que querer correjir lo que ya pasó  

haz lo que necesites, que te sientas mejor
vence a tus demonios, destruye ese dolor
Los errores existen para conocer
en lo que alguien mas podria caer   

y no es que este mal,podria ser peor
Lo que no te mata te hace mejor  

escuchamé, yo aqui estaré
viendo tus acciones  donde sea que estes

[coro]
