🎵 Here and Now
by The Mainside Project

Woke up to the sunrise, golden in the sky
No more looking backward, let the past drift by
Footsteps on the pavement, heartbeat like a drum
Every breath’s a reason, every day’s begun

No more waiting, no hesitating
Time is racing, so let’s start chasing

Here and now, we’re standing in the moment
Let it out, don’t waste another heartbeat
Feel the fire, let it burn so bright
Live like there’s no tomorrow—just tonight

Chasing all the echoes of a dream untold
Writing every story in a script of gold
Laughing in the chaos, dancing in the rain
Turning every second into something great

No more waiting, no hesitating
Time is racing, so let’s start chasing

Here and now, we’re standing in the moment
Let it out, don’t waste another heartbeat
Feel the fire, let it burn so bright
Live like there’s no tomorrow—just tonight

Here and now… here and now…
Only this moment, don’t let it go now…

Here and now…

Here and Now

[Verse]
The rusted swing in twilight schemes
A creaking sound that fuels my dreams
The ghostly slide slick in the rain
Echoes laughter mixed with pain

[Verse 2]
Beneath the ash trees tall and still
The wind would whisper cruel and chill
Our sneakers torn on gravel trails
We chased the fog like haunting tales

[Chorus]
The shadows where we played still call my name
Every whisper bleeds and feels the same
The playground hums
Alive with doom
A childhood lost
Reclaimed in gloom

[Verse 3]
That jungle gym now overgrown
Claw-like branches twist the stone
We hid from night beneath that frame
Our fears and thrills were both the same

[Verse 4]
The broken fence
The darkened sky
Flashing lightning our lullaby
The metal spun as fate had planned
The world spun dark beneath our hands

[Bridge]
But time has burned that haven down
Its haunted echoes still resound
I'll breathe that air till shadows fade
Back to the place where fears were made

Shadows Where We Played

Lyrics

You said there was something in our flame
Something bigger than we could ever name
But your eyes were always somewhere else
And I lay awake, alone in your silence

You lit me up like a beautiful lie
Then vanished with each step, no goodbye

When the lights go out
And the silence burns
I still hear your voice
Though it no longer turns
 When the lights go out
I see the truth so clear
All you gave
Was never here

You touched me like I might break
Something you wanted, but never would take
I followed every note you played
But you wrote a song you never let me stay

You were the light I tried to find
But you faded every time

 When the lights go out
And the silence burns
I still hear your voice
Though it no longer turns
When the lights go out
I see the truth so clear
All you gave
Was never here

You said forever
But meant the night
I held the dream
You held it light

 When the lights go out
And I still stand
I know I was more
Than you could understand
 When the lights go out
I see who I am
And I walk forward
Without your hand

"You turned off the light — but I saw it all."

We Were Wild (Remastered)

Lyrics:

The night is heavy
The silence is deep
I whisper a promise
To carry, to keep

Each morning I wonder
If this is the last
The shadows are waiting
To bury the past

But fragments of duty
Still hold me in place
The faintest of reasons
The thinnest of grace

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

A word I once promised
A hand I must hold
A vow to a memory
That never grows old

They seem so fragile
Yet they will not break
The threads of survival
That sorrow can’t take

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

Not for glory, not for flame
Not for honor, not for fame
But for a whisper, soft and true
I tie these threads, for me, for you

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

The night is heavy
But still I remain
Tying threads together
Through sorrow and pain

Tying Threads

Embracing scars and struggles as proof of survival and resilience.

Broken but Alive

A modern gospel-pop celebration of radical welcome. “Room at the Inn” re-imagines the Nativity for our time — where porch lights replace stars, and grace still finds room for everyone. Recorded with a choir, Hammond organ, and clapping congregation energy, this track blends the timeless warmth of Christmas with the urgency of compassion today. Turn it up, open your door, and let the song do what grace does best: make more room.

مثالي

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I'm constantly caught daydreaming about sci-fi.  I have a wide variety of experience in various subjects.  Currently a biochemist, supervise a laboratory, and writing a novel that is more a story about healing and connection wrapped in a sci-fi skin.

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.  I touch the music up in Reason 5.  If you like my (non-AI) 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 for me is catharsis and I'm not looking to hit it big.  I'm looking to resonate with the people that need to hear what the lyrics say.
