TRANQUIL w/ KALIBVR

i know this thing is nowhere near properly mixed, but i don't care anymore, the pain is far too much to bear. goodbye


ooh~
might be here now, i’ll be gone in a moment
gone in a moment
if heaven won't move
and God won't heal what i've broken
heal what i've broken...

katana through my spinal cord
writing verses in the darkness from my bleeding core
watering roses in my garden with my crown of thorns
hoping their beauty could come close to yours
and i don't even need a sword
seeing echoes of the starlight in your eyes has left me wounded more
take me to the drowning pool and let my body hit the floor
can't be more dead than i was before—

hardest thing i've had to write
isn't any of these flows that i've chosen or these notes
ya boy is golden when he's gripping mics
i just came to let you know that my soul is growing colder
i just rose into the afterlife
i'm dead, peep the halo
over my zenith like the day go
all because her parting words laid waste to my brain
and i made haste to the Jame-o—chased it with Drano

hardest thing i’ve had to do
is recognizing when it’s time to say goodbye to Aphrodite
cause she’s never gonna look at you—
hypnotized by Mona Lisa smiles, i fucked up one too many times
until i realized it's too late to apologize
now i'm on the blocked list of a goddess
playing Hephaestus to someone else's Adonis
and she’ll be happier there if i’m being honest
so put this blade through my waist, take this weight from my aching conscience

ooh~
might be here now, i’ll be gone in a moment
gone in a moment
(heart still beating in my chest, pray it stops in a moment)
if heaven won't move
and God won't heal what i've broken...
(must be the ninth circle of Hell like I'm the Son of the Morning)

wait a minute...
is this a banger or a cry for help?
i can't tell, it's getting kinda hard for me to know the difference, thought I'd ask somebody else
if it's neither, i've got nothing left
sentenced to write these sentences as medicine for the mess I'm in
spent my whole existence writing rhymes to save me from myself
and you best believe that hurts my soul like nothing else

who watched the sunrise with his drunk eyes,
grieving like his son died,
chiefing till he’s so high
on reefer in the sunshine
on LSD by lunchtime
some joke and i’m the punchline
get wasted all the damn time
to chase away the bad vibes, yeah
man, fuck sobriety
and fuck these alcoholic demons up inside of me
i'm sure they'll be the demise of me
so y’all better be prepared to say goodbye to me—
Dead Poets Society

cause when i’m sitting quietly
this mind ain’t silent, these images on my psyche projected upon my eyelids
see, she haunts me in my dreams, all i’m seeing is her and him on repeat
and this fire in her eyes that ain’t there for me
so the hardest words i’ve had to speak
might be the ones where i’m admitting what love really means, and that must be setting you free
might just be letting you breathe, even when the thought of life without you might hurt to believe,
praying i find some relief… and it goes—

ooh~
might be here now, i’ll be gone in a moment
gone in a moment
(heart still beating in my chest, pray it stops in a moment)
if heaven won't move
and God won't heal what i've broken
(must be the ninth circle of Hell like I'm the Son of the Morning)

Aurora One is the songwriting moniker of artist, rapper, and soundtrack composer Mel Lamagna, based in Jersey City, NJ. Wielding a dark, brooding, romantic, bittersweet R&B sound lined with lo-fi influences, vivid imagery, and a flair for the mystical, he sheds light on the beauty within the flaws of life and love, and seeks meaning in the pain of heartache and letting go.

Classically trained in piano from the age of seven, Mel began writing music in high school as soundtracks to short films. With the debut of Aurora One, his sound evolved into a deep, otherworldly melancholy with vibrant melodies and a chillhop flavor. Influenced by hip-hop and lo-fi composers the likes of Nujabes and Idealism, and occasionally sporting hypnotic rap flows inspired by that of Eminem and RA Scion of Common Market, Mel bridges these genres through Aurora One to tell his story, whether it be through writing for featured artists or performing verses himself. 

Aurora One's new single, “Memory”, bilingually tells the story of a love never found and a friendship long since forgotten—with the help of a featured artist with a golden voice, Angelo Ibasco (And Other Things). As a nod to their common Philippine heritage, the song’s latter half was written purely in Tagalog. 

“Memory” releases on all digital streaming platforms in August 2020.
