Second Floor Light” is an alternative rock reflection on stillness, isolation, and the quiet rituals that fill empty days. Written from the glow of a single room, the song captures the strange comfort of routine and the haunting awareness that change can happen without movement.
Layered guitars, soft grit in the vocals, and a lingering sense of time passing all build into a slow, emotional release.

🕯️ For anyone who’s ever watched the light stay on a little too long.

Second floor light

For the reborn. Between ruin and resurrection, the march begins again.

NEW DAWN

“Caged Life” is an alt-rock anthem about feeling trapped in your own routines, your own head, and the walls you built to survive.
Peeling paint. Heavy silence. A world spinning while you stand still.
This track lives in that tension — the place where frustration turns into fire.

Driven by raw vocals and gritty melodies, “Caged Life” captures the moment you finally crack open the door and choose the unknown over the familiar cage.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, held back, or ready to break out, this song will hit home.

[Verse 1]
Woke up to paint that’s peeling thin,
Walls breathe heavy but don’t let me in.
Windows stare like they’re keeping score,
I pace the same cracked floor.

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands know the shape of these chains,
Comfort starts to look the same.

[Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve learned the sound,
Of standing still while the world spins around.
Caged life — can’t fake the peace,
Freedom whispers but it never speaks.

[Verse 2]
Footsteps fade down the hallway dust,
Words we said turned into rust.
I wear a grin like a disguise,
Just to keep the quiet alive.

[Pre-Chorus]
My breath fights the walls I built,
I move but I don’t feel guilt.

[Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve learned the sound,
Of standing still while the world spins around.
Caged life — can’t fake the peace,
Freedom whispers but it never speaks.

[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll burn what held me still,
Trade my cage for an open hill.
No plan, no path, just open air,
If I fall — at least I dared.

[Final Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve worn it thin,
Breaking out where I begin.
Caged life — I’ve made my peace,
Freedom’s rough, but it’s mine to keep.

[Outro]
Yeah…
Caged life — not me.

Caged life

My first duet, and absolutely not the last. Alexander Ivars delivered those riffs. You’ll hear what I mean. 🖤🎸


Single

Strangers in Love

Ghost of a Promise

Come closer, but you still can’t have me.

I Want Your Love

Lyrics ✨

Your name burns slow in my backlit skin
Mirror city blinks, we begin again
Tasted lies in the perfume rain
You said “forever” in a midnight frame

Siren pulse in the back of my skull
Everything sweet goes sugar then dull
But your ghostkiss lingers, glitching my soul
In the rearview of control

Chrome skies, baby, I’m lost in the hue
Static in your voice still sounds like truth
Wrapped in echo, neon bruise
If I can’t have light - I’ll haunt with you

Vapor touch, digital sigh
I fall for you like satellites die
You're the virus in my lullaby
I still dream you in ultraviolet cry

Say my name through the smoke delay
I’d fade for you in a heartbeat’s decay



Ghostkiss Under Chrome Skies

For a love that ruins sweetly.
@AlexanderIvars is responsible for those riffs. ✨

Deadly Sweet

Two hearts glowing in the same canyon… just never close enough to touch. 

Lyrics ✨

Kinda like a bridge between us
With its traffic jams and tolls
It's a canyon or a mountain
Or the San Andreas fault

Distant lovers
Separate beds and separate covers
Distant lovers
We should know that we'll never be together
Distant lovers
Separate beds and separate covers
Distant lovers
We should know that we'll never be together

Мы словно клоуны в цирке
На разных аренах
Насколько все таки важны
Расстояния между телами

Distant lovers
Separate beds and separate covers
Distant lovers
We should know that we'll never be together
Distant lovers
Separate beds and separate covers
Distant lovers
We should know that we'll never be together

Distant Lovers

(Prog / Nu-Metal • Emotional • Cinematic) ✨

“If This Is the Last Time” is a progressive nu-metal track built on shifting time signatures, clean-to-crushing guitar dynamics, and a slow emotional unraveling.
This song lives in the moment right before everything breaks — that fragile space where you feel someone slipping away but you’re too scared to face the truth.

Layered clean guitars open the track like a quiet confession, before the rhythm fractures and the weight kicks in. The verses pull between intimacy and collapse, the pre-chorus spirals into tension, and the chorus hits with that “don’t tell me it’s over yet” desperation.
The bridge stretches into an evolving prog section: odd-meter riffs, ambient swells, and a lead line that feels like time folding in on itself.

This track is for anyone who’s held on too long… or let go too late.
If you’ve ever felt the last moment approaching — and wished you could freeze it — this song is the echo of that heartbeat.
