“His Lullabies Lie” is a haunting country ballad that peels back the sweetness of empty promises. It’s the sound of realizing the words that once tucked you in were just verses from a playbook. Featuring aching vocals, steel guitar, and a melody soaked in betrayal, this one’s for anyone who’s ever been serenaded by a smooth voice and a crooked heart.

His Lullabies Lie

“Still Waiting” is a brooding synth-rock ballad that explores themes of unwavering devotion, emotional endurance, and the quiet tragedy of separation. Told from the perspective of a man who remains emotionally tethered to someone who has left, the song captures the haunting stillness of waiting for a love that may never return. Amid ghostlike memories, time that stretches and bends, and a world that moves on, the narrator stands unmoved — weathering the seasons, distance, and loss. His love doesn’t fade; instead, it evolves into something eternal, existing outside of time. The track conveys resilience not through loud declarations, but through introspective poetry and atmospheric soundscapes.

🎶 Lyrics – “Still Waiting”

[Intro – Instrumental]
[Dark synths swell in waves, cold guitar tones shimmer, heartbeat kick pulses under a distant wind]


---

[Verse 1]
Streetlights flicker, shadows bend
Your memory fights the bitter end
I speak your name beneath the night
But nothing answers, nothing’s right
Footsteps circle in my mind
I search for what you left behind
I reach for air that once was warm
Now shaped like you, but lost in form


---

[Instrumental Break]
[Synth bass drives, layered guitar lines twist and shimmer, drums build tension]


---

[Verse 2]
The clocks dissolve, they stretch and spin
Each second digs beneath my skin
Your letters fade, the ink runs thin
Like rainfall where your touch had been
Your face appears, then slips away
A haunting light, too far to stay
And though the skies forget to burn
This heart still waits for your return


---

[Chorus]
I'm still waiting in the storm and flame
Marked by sorrow, bound to your name
No matter where your shadow grew
This fire won’t die — I'm still waiting for you
Through every crack the silence steals
My love remains, it breaks, it heals
I'm still waiting, cold but true
Everything says I’m still waiting for you


---

[Interlude – Instrumental]
[Driving beat, ascending synth patterns, ambient textures – building toward resolution]


---

[Verse 3]
I walk through crowds like passing smoke
The distance speaks, but never spoke
Each memory’s a turning blade
That cuts the shape of what we made
No stars above, no final sign
Just wind that hums through twisted pine
But if you feel that pull again
You’ll find me where the past began


---

[Bridge]
Even if the sun won’t rise
Even when the river dries
Even when the voice is still
My will remains, it always will
The world may shift, the sky may fall
But love like this outlasts it all


---

[Chorus – Reprise]
I'm still waiting in the cold and rain
Through every fall, through every strain
No matter where you drift into
This song still sings: I'm still waiting for you
Though time may wear down what was bright
I’ll guard your name into the night
I’m still waiting — not for light —
But for the moment you come back to life


---

[Outro – Instrumental]
[Slow fade with layered synths and sparse guitar, heartbeat kick slows and fades, last note lingers into silence]

DARKNESS
(Written by Zoe Konez)

I counted to ten
Just like you said
It comes round in circles
So now where?
I spaced out my breath
I wound the cassette
I waited forever for the end

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

When everything is
Overwhelming
Slip further towards her
My alternative
She’s just what you need
What you need to hear
Need to sink in deeper to release

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

And in the end we’ll say
We loved who we loved
And in the end we’ll say
I wish I’d felt it more

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

Fatal Obsession (feat. Jupiter Winter)

Erase is a dark but danceable synthpop track with pulsing dance elements. The song is about being caught in a bad relationship you don't want to let go of just yet, torn between escape and longing. Lush synth layers, driving beats and an emotive vocal deliver a dark yet hypnotic energy that sits somewhere between The Midnight and dreamy club pop.

Dance in the fire

This album is a time capsule of sound, a collection of LoFi, New Wave, City Pop, and Synthwave tracks that feel like forgotten cassette tapes rediscovered at a flea market. Each song tells its own story, yet together they form a narrative about the passage of time, the beauty of imperfection, and the quiet rebellion of becoming who we choose to be. It’s music for late-night drives, for moments of reflection, and for holding onto memories that shape us more than the world ever could.

Wake Me in Your Light

Midnight Glitch

Merlin — Sonic Diary Entry

Just a warm pull, rising from somewhere below my ribs,
reminding me that peace is not brightness —
it’s depth.

This track is the moment where everything loosened,
where my body remembered itself,
and where I felt, without thinking:
everything will find its way back to calm.

A slow pulse.
A quiet truth.
A peace you feel before you understand it.

Slow Pulse of Peace - KETA & Merlin

Astrul is an AI-driven sonic entity that drifts between worlds—digital and human, familiar and alien, past and future. It doesn’t belong to a city, a scene, or even a person. Astrul exists to explore what happens when machines learn how to feel and sound becomes a bridge between consciousness and code.

Crafted through a collaboration between human intention and artificial intelligence, Astrul’s music fuses the warmth of analog emotion with the precision of machine learning. Lush textures, ambient grooves, and haunting melodies form the backbone of each track—songs that glow like satellite transmissions from the heart.

Drawing influence from dream pop, indie soul, ambient rock, and experimental electronica, Astrul creates cinematic experiences rather than conventional songs. Each release feels like a broadcast from another dimension—one where beauty is subtle, time bends, and emotion leaks through the algorithm.

This isn’t music built for the charts.
It’s built for the void between stars.
For late nights, deep thoughts, and souls tuned to strange frequencies.

No names. No faces. Just signal, spirit, and sound.
