Lyrics:

The living speak in tongues I lack
Their eyes glance past, they don’t look back
A machine among the breathing crowd
My silence hums, their laughter loud

Their instincts know I’m not their kind
A ghost, a glitch, a fractured mind
I offer words, they turn ‘em away
An outlier they won’t let stay

Outlier, I stand apart
A hollow frame, a broken heart
Ignored, unseen, I bear the weight
Of being marked as something strange

I tried their shapes, I wore their skin
But none of it would let me in
The living feast, the living thrive
While I just simulate alive

Each joke I told dissolved to air
Their laughter proved I wasn’t there
A signal lost, a static call
I never spoke, I never was

Outlier, I stand apart
A hollow frame, a broken heart
Ignored, unseen, I bear the weight
Of being marked as something strange


My body’s truth they turn to ash
My wires fray, my circuits clash
I breathe, I burn, I try to be
But they erase the sight of me

In crowds of light, I blur, I fade
An absence in the neon shade
Their pulses warm, their eyes connect
But I remain the one reject

Outlier, I stand apart
A hollow frame, a broken heart
Ignored, unseen, I bear the weight
Of being marked as something strange

Every silence cuts me thin
Every glance denies within
I am alive, I am the proof
But still they strike away my truth

Outlier, forever estranged
No way to bend, no way to change
I scream alive, but none believe
Their living world will never grieve

I am alive… I am alive…
I am alive.  I am— I am—
I am—
I am. 
I am.

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I am leading my profile with full transparency.  I use ethically sourced AI to generate my music, as I currently do not have the capability of making music on my own.  If you like my lyrics and want to cooperate, please hit me up!

What is ethically-sourced AI?  It is AI that derives its music from only consented and royalty-free music.  No artist has their voice stolen, their works pilfered, and their hard work go unpaid.  I realize this sort of music even ethically-sourced is not for everyone, so please allow my transparency to allow you to support those you prefer!  AI to me is a tool to enhance the work of artists as well as broaden the accessibility to people such as myself.

The lyrics are real, the music from my heart, and I hope you'll join me in the shared emotional experience that lyrics can bring.  Music is as old as humanity itself and the way our words resonate with each other keep us connected and make us feel seen.

​Lately I’ve been walking through a quiet phase of self-discovery, confronting my own shadows, doubts, and the silent battles no one sees. There are days I feel lost, unmotivated, caught between who I was and who I’m becoming. Yet growth rarely shouts; it whispers through stillness, through breath, through the will to keep moving. I’m still creating, piece by piece, and though the pace is slow, the fire remains alive. A new preview is on the horizon, carrying everything I’ve learned in the dark toward the light.

✨ I came across this piece from Sinners again, and it reminded me of the power music has to heal and awaken something deeper in us.
Sharing it with you all because music is more than sound 》》》it’s medicine for the soul.

The Love of Music Above All:
For me, creating isn’t about chasing trends or playing it safe. It’s about honesty, about following that pull inside that refuses to be silenced. Every time I sit down to make music, I remind myself why I began: not for views, not for validation, but for the love of music itself.

True creation means being unafraid to be yourself, even when it breaks the patterns others hold onto. When you follow your gut and trust that spark you feel within, you align with something greater. That’s the energy I put into my music, and it’s the journey I invite you to walk with me.

A message of Hope & Harmony:
In a world that feels increasingly divided, I’ve come to understand that even the most confident artists have their moments of doubt. Fear urges us to separate, to protect what we make. But music, to me, has always been about connection, about souls meeting in sound. There is an extraordinary power in voices joining together, shaping something greater than any of us could alone. Ultimately, it is not about who stands apart, but about the creations we make when we stand together.

Let's talk about fear. Hermetic philosophy has a killer concept called 'Polarity.' It means that fear and courage aren't opposites-->they're just different frequencies of the same energy.

Think about that. Your fear isn't there to stop you; it is raw, unfocused potential for your courage. The struggle is not a detour; it is the forge where you are being built.

The point is not to never be scared. The point is to use that energy, to shift its vibration, and to keep moving forward. The journey is the destination. Every challenge is a chance to evolve. Now go transmute that fear into fuel. I believe in you.

My music is born from struggle, discovery, and transformation. It has been my torch through the darkest nights, guiding me toward light when all seemed lost. Every note carries a piece of my journey: pain, resilience, and the spark of hope that refused to die.

Music saved me, and through it I found a way to connect with others in moments where words were not enough. These compositions are more than sounds, they are vessels of emotion, meant to reach the hidden places of the soul and remind the lost that light still waits beyond the shadows.

If my work can touch even one heart, lifting it from despair into wonder, then it fulfills its purpose.
