VARISONIK - Kiss the world

Alt rock with a bit of slide guitar thrown in.

Kiss The World

Let me start this by saying nothing lasts forever
We're just a momentary flash of life on a world that spins round
Cause this planet's a centrifuge and it rips us apart
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But all I see is people made of plasticine 

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

You can't stop this by praying, we can't change our DNA
We live under the same sky whether it's night or day 
And we'll all breathe the same air when there's nothing to say
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But let me tell you people dream imperfect dreams 

We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
Naivety's deleted from enlightened minds

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

I wanna kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
I wanna kiss

VARISONIK - Kiss The World

Groovy

Espírito Livre

Everything is fine
until you speak

They raised the flag, they lit the torch
they swore the words were free
But every time a tongue gets scorched
I hear the lock turn on the key

We all chant "Say what you want!" at the rally
until the echo rattles back through the alley
Freedom's cheap when it's your own creed
but your neighbor's truth feels like a weed

You clap for voices that sing your song
but plug your ears when they prove you wrong

You want the right to shout
but not the right to doubt
Freedom of speech
until you speak
You'll fight for the megaphone
until it cuts your bone
Freedom of speech
until you speak

They'll frame your words on a courtroom wall
but whisper "Censor him" down the hall
Heroes of principle, fists held high
until your sentence crosses their sky

The saints, the critics, the kings of the stage
they write their sermons and call it courage
But when a word strikes too close to home
suddenly silence becomes their throne

Do you want truth
or just a mirror?
Do you want freedom
or something nearer?
A cage with your anthem carved in stone
but bars that slam when it's not your own!

Every tongue's a loaded gun
but only yours is aimed for fun

You want the right to shout
but not the right to doubt
Freedom of speech
until you speak
You'll fight for the megaphone
until it cuts your bone
Freedom of speech
until you speak

They said the words were free
but every word has a fee

Until You Speak

Inspired by someone we know really well who once dreamed of being rich and famous all around the world as a porn star 😏. Don’t worry, we’re not naming names… but this track is a nod to that wild dream (if you like this track, especially the guitar, you might find it really interesting to check out this sort of behind-the-scenes track https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-a-mess-you-like-instrumental and read the gear we used in the description 😉).
Do What You Like kicks off and closes with a couple of very convincing moans from Mary (well, maybe actually 3!) 😅, channeling her inner pornstar. And finally, she's back in the spotlight with her electric guitars! She went full pedalboard mad, filling a 40 sqm (430 sq ft) living room with pedals, EQs, and effects until it basically turned into a no-move zone! You literally couldn’t step without tripping over something.😆
This isn’t a moral lecture on porn, just a little warning: chasing something can come back to bite you later, especially if your goals change. So yeah… think twice, live loud, but keep an eye on the future.
Energetic, upbeat, punchy alt-rock with groovy bass, tight drums, fiery guitar riffs, and scorching guitar solos, with a vibe that’s equal parts garage and fun chaos (…at least we think so, we’re not really good at pinning down genres!).
Have fun listening, and we’ll catch you in the comments if you feel like it!
Thanks everyone!
And… as we often say (not just a saying)… love you all! 💖

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on September 19, 2025.

Lyrics:

A porn star
a wannabe porn star
a porn star
so rich and famous
all around the world

Do what you like
do what you love
but don’t waste your life
if you’re feeling unsure

Be sure to think twice
about everything you do
that kind of stuff
you just can’t undo

Just set your life free
and do the things you like
but please make sure
it’s not just a spike

Make up your mind
do it for your life
for the future day
when you have a child

Living
like you
might not be
their ideal
They could, they could
be someone
meant to replace
your embrace
dear

Do what you like
do what you love
but don’t waste your life
if you’re feeling unsure

Be sure to think twice
about everything you do
that kind of stuff
you just can’t undo

Check your point of view
the sky isn’t always blue
for everything you do
there will come a storm or two

You are no longer a child
and now your life is wild
it looks like a mess
got something to confess?

Living
like you
might not be
their ideal
They could
be someone
meant to replace
your embrace
dear

When's The Weekend

Echoes of Your Gaze

Tapestry

Verse 1:
I found you in the solar dust,
Un rêve perdu dans la lumière,
A requiem of love and trust,
A flame reborn from cold despair.

Verse 2:
You carried dawn behind your eyes,
Ton cœur brûlait comme un secret,
A cosmic hymn that never dies,
A truth we never will forget.

Chorus:
Solar requiem, guide my soul,
Rallume tout ce qu’on m’a volé.
Through burning stars beyond control,
We rise where fallen worlds decay.

Verse 3:
You stitch the fractures in my core,
Ton souffle apaise la nuit en moi,
A warmth I’ve never felt before—
A promise no one can destroy.

Bridge:
Même si le temps nous déchire,
We shine beyond the atmosphere.
Dans ton amour, I lose my fear—
A radiant storm I hold so dear.

Chorus:
Solar requiem, guide my soul,
Rallume tout ce qu’on m’a volé.
Through burning stars beyond control,
We rise where fallen worlds decay.


Solar Requiem

After being consumed by the Abyss—unaware it was the living shape of his own subconscious—the protagonist finds himself inside the darkness he feared. But instead of oblivion, he discovers something unexpected:
the true fractured pieces of himself.
Not the breathless ghosts created when the Abyss devoured his dreams, but the living cores of the man he once was…the parts he locked away, one by one, over the years.
For the first time, he can hear them.
They speak with his own voice.
They reach for him.
And as he gathers these fragments, the Abyss begins to change too—because the monster was simply the wounded, abandoned side of his mind struggling to make sense of what was lost.
When every fragment finally returns to him, the dreamworld dissolves.
The shadows fall away.
He rises into the light—
whole for the first time in his life.
“Awakening” is the rebirth, the reclamation, and the emotional summit of the album.
🎧 Sound & Style
This track blends emotional post-metal ambience with soaring progressive-metal triumph:
soft, glowing atmospheres that represent the internal dawn
a steady rise into powerful, resonant rhythms
melodic themes that feel like fragments returning home
an uplifting, cathartic chorus
a final section that breaks open into light, symbolizing the moment he wakes
It’s the sonic equivalent of stepping out of darkness and taking a full breath again.
💬 For the Listener
This song is for anyone who has ever lost themselves—
who buried their dreams,
who hid the brightest parts of who they were,
or who felt defined by the fractures rather than the whole.
“Awakening” reminds us that the pieces of ourselves we think are gone forever are often still waiting to be reclaimed.
Healing is not becoming someone new—
it’s becoming who you were always meant to be.
When every piece returns, the world changes.
📘 Album Context
“Awakening” is the final chapter of The Abyss.
It completes the story begun in “The Last Fracture,” resolving the internal war between the protagonist and the subconscious creature born from his abandoned dreams. Through reunion and understanding, he rises from the dreamworld with clarity, strength, and purpose restored.
This is the end of the fall—
and the beginning of everything else.
