I’m Not Crazy, Just Got PTSD” is a defiant anthem by AusticZone — a voice from the workbench, the welding shed, and the storm.

This is not a breakdown. This is a rise.

Fueled by scars, steel, and self-trust, the song calls out stigma, rewires pain into poetry, and redefines survival as strength.

Built from the bones of lived experience.
No fixing needed. No pity required.

Free to record your own version. Just credit AusticZone as songwriter.

I'm Not Crazy - Just Got PTSD

“Safe Tonight” is a global lullaby for anxious hearts — tribal chant, falsetto harmony, and acoustic percussion creating a meditative soundscape of calm. Inspired by The Lion Sleeps Tonight, it carries a modern, healing spirit: simple, grounding phrases — “You are safe tonight… you are held now.”

Soft echoes and layered harmonies rise slowly, wrapping the listener in warmth, stillness, and reassurance. A song for rest, reflection, or easing anxiety — reminding us that peace and safety can always be found in sound.

Dedicated to my best friend Emma, after her accident, as a reminder of resilience and comfort.

Safe tonight

Written for NAIDOC Week 2025 — Dedicated to Linnygirl and all Blak women who carry the flame

Keep the Fires Burning is a powerful cultural anthem written for NAIDOC Week 2025, honouring the strength, vision, and legacy of Aboriginal women across Country.

In the spirit of this year’s theme — “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” — this song speaks to the unbreakable fire passed down through Blak mothers, aunties, nannas, and daughters.

It’s a call to action. A chant of survival. A voice for truth.

From missions to marches, from truth-telling to sovereignty, the lyrics carry a story that’s lived, not imagined.

This song is dedicated to Linnygirl, whose kindness and strength helped me survive — and to every Aboriginal woman who lifts her people by simply being who she is.

For the mob. For the land. For the kids watching us now.

Keep the fire burning.
Blak and proud.
Always was, always will be.

Keep the fires burning

“This Is My Meltdown” is a raw, piano-driven power ballad that unapologetically explores the inner world of an autistic woman hitting emotional overload.
It’s not a cry for pity — it’s a demand for understanding, autonomy, and space.
Cinematic, emotional, and unfiltered, this track is for anyone who’s ever been told they’re too much for simply being themselves.

This is not broken. This is not wrong.
This is real.
This is my meltdown.

Written from the perspective of lived neurodivergent experience.
Respect it. Feel it. Share it.

This Is My Meltdown (Just Let Me Be Me)

“AUSTIC Zone” is more than a track — it’s a declaration of identity and a call for trauma-informed care on every frontline. 

Written from lived experience, it tells the journey of discovering autism and PDA late in life, finding clarity, and transforming pain into empowerment. 

It speaks of leading groups, exposing trauma and coercion, and demanding accountability in the places that are meant to protect us — police, paramedics, hospitals, and schools.

The name AUSTIC carries meaning: 
A for Authentic
U for Unfiltered
S for Strong
T for True
I for Inclusive
C for Care. 

Together, it’s a reminder that every voice matters and every life deserves dignity.

This is not a brand — it’s a space rooted in proof, truth, and community. 

“AUSTIC Zone” is shared under Creative Commons so others can sing it, spread it, and use it to raise awareness. All that’s asked is credit to the songwriter and keeping the words true, so the message remains powerful: we see you, we hear you, you belong.

Austic Zone

A spoken-word protest piece from New South Wales, Australia. “Swept Away” gives voice to the pain of welfare checks gone wrong — when police and paramedics arrive without trauma training, treating people as volatile instead of violated. It’s about systems that silence, medicate, and blame instead of asking what’s happened to us. A raw call for dignity, accountability, and change.

Swept Away

Burnout or Depression (You’re Still You)” is a deep, emotional piano and ambient track with gentle female vocals. It explores the difference between autistic burnout and depression — two heavy realities often misunderstood. This song shines a light on autism, mental health, trauma, and the need for real support in NSW and beyond. Honest and raw, it’s a call for awareness, compassion, and social change.

Listeners are free to share, sing, or promote this track — but the lyrics must not be changed, and full credit must go to the songwriter AusticZone.

Burnout or Depression (You’re Still You)

“Long Road Behind (Truckie Song)” by Austic Zone is a heartfelt country ballad about love, loss, and letting go with grace. Sung from the female perspective to a life-long truckie, it is both a farewell and a blessing — asking him not to turn back, but to keep rolling on. 

The song uses the long road as a metaphor for a relationship’s end — carrying memories, closure, and the hope of peace ahead. It’s not angry or bitter, but reflective and kind, a universal farewell that speaks to truckies and to anyone who has had to say goodbye with love still in their heart. 

This track is released under Creative Commons so it can travel further. You’re welcome to download it, sing it, and share it with others. All I ask is that you credit Austic Zone as the songwriter, and keep the lyrics true. Together we can let the song roll down new roads and reach more voices.

Long Road Behind (Truckie Song)

“This Should Be Care” is a song written about the trauma caused by police responses in Australia — when people in crisis reach out for help but are met with fear, force, and violence instead of compassion.  

It’s a voice for the vulnerable: the autistic, the mentally ill, the distressed — and the families left to pick up the pieces after “care” turned into control.  

This isn’t anti-police — it’s pro-accountability.  Police need Traum informed care.

It’s a reminder that “protect and serve” should never mean “hurt and silence.”  

If you’ve ever watched the system fail someone you love — this one’s for you.

This Should Be Care

A raw, heartfelt punk-style track written after a real experience of harm during a welfare check in New South Wales. “Trauma-Informed Starts With You” calls out how systems meant to help can retraumatise instead — when responders act with fear instead of understanding. 

The song speaks directly to NSW Police and other first responders, urging compassion, calm communication, and trauma-informed practice. It recognises the stress and trauma that workers also carry, but reminds them that unhealed trauma spreads outward. 

This is not an attack — it’s a plea for change. For safety that’s real. For policy that listens. For care that starts with understanding.

Trauma-Informed Starts With You

“Hunger for Profit” is a Scottish folk-rock protest anthem written by Derek Gault under AusticZone. Blending raw vocals, bodhrán, fiddle, and slow-march rhythm, it confronts the brutal machinery that turns war and suffering into profit.

This song tells four connected truths about our world:

1. **War as an Industry** – It exposes how the powerful build wealth through destruction, feeding off conflict while ordinary people pay the price. The battlefield becomes a balance sheet, and lives become statistics.

2. **Greed and Corruption** – It condemns those who manipulate nations for personal gain — CEOs, politicians, and warmongers who call cruelty “business.” The lyrics shine a harsh light on the hunger for dominance that drives exploitation.

3. **The Human Cost** – Behind every headline and speech are families, workers, and dreamers left to starve, suffer, and mourn. The song gives voice to those who bear the weight of others’ greed — the ones history too often forgets.

4. **Rebellion and Rebirth** – Out of ashes and exhaustion comes defiance. The final verses transform despair into resolve — a belief that people can rise again, reclaiming the world from those who profit from pain.

This isn’t just an anti-war song — it’s a cry for humanity, solidarity, and truth. A soundscape of resistance that echoes across borders and generations.
