A song about running towards something / running on empty / running out of time...perhaps

Lyrics
Am I running towards something that’s not worth fighting for
or maybe leaving behind the best love that I ever knew
no I’m not saying that I’m perfect I know nobody is
the trouble is I always thought that I just loved you
yeah I just loved you

Still we’re here and the now and told sometimes that that’s enough
Just what time will heal this break inside my melted heart
I know you let me hide inside our tears you always shed for me
But what If only we’d taken that break from the very start
our very start 

Cos I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
I thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Was nothing more than the nothingness of an angry echo instead

Then I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
Thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Then you scream at me that I’m to blame
So you can hang me out to dry
Pouring down your pity metaphors
Cos the similes you just can’t abide
Draining me of my excitation
Plugging angry gaps with why
I’m not sure you’ll like my answers
But let’s give it a try
No need for your poisoned reply
No RSVP lies 
And no RSVP why
Cos I saved your world again
yeah I saved you 
then I saved your world again
and your world again
then I saved your world again 
yeah I saved you 
cos I saved your world again 
then your world again   
I keep saving you (repeated)
But who’s gonna save me


Running (saved your world)

New Orleans is the New Vietnam (Eyehategod Cover)

Trois mots griffonnés à la hâte.. Que deviens tu..
Souillac, les rives de la Dordogne qui ont vu grandir et finir ma jeunesse..
Paroles:
Quelqu'un a glissé, sous ma porte,
Des mots griffonnés, à la hâte,
Juste trois mots jetés au gré de quelque sorte.

Que deviens tu,
Toi qui jadis fit la route en solitaire.
Que deviens tu,
Toi qui naguère, sut mettre mon coeur à l'envers,
Que deviens tu.

Le temps étend, plus qu'il ne faut,
Son long manteau, sur ma jeunesse,
Et la rivière, charrie ton prénom dans ses flots.

Mmm..

Que deviens tu,
Toi qui jadis fit la route en solitaire.
Que deviens tu,
Toi qui naguère, sut mettre mon coeur à l'envers,
Que deviens tu.
Que deviens tu.

Le temps a glissé sous mes doigts,
Les mêmes notes qu'autrefois.

Three words hastily scribbled.. What have you become..
 Souillac, the banks of the Dordogne where my youth grew up and ended..

 Lyrics: 
Someone slipped, under my door,
 Scrawled words, hastily,
 Just three words thrown at the whim of some sort.

What becomes of you,
 You who once traveled the road alone.
 What becomes of you,
 You who knew how to turn my heart upside down not so long ago, 
What becomes of you.

Time stretches, more than it should,
 its long cloak over my youth,
and the river carries your name in its currents.

Mmm..

What becomes of you,
 You who once traveled the road alone.
 What becomes of you,
 You who knew how to turn my heart upside down not so long ago, 
What becomes of you.

Time has slipped through my fingers, 
the same notes as before.

Summer set 2025

Hey beautiful people!🤗
We cooked up a funky instrumental track featuring Valerio absolutely killing it on drums (not that bass and guitar are holding back). It’s called "Sticks of Funk" and we’re dropping it today to celebrate the birthday🎉 of the man who sets the beat, or keeps the groove alive, however you wanna put it.
It’s a bit different from what we usually do, and just a heads-up, the track kicks off with an old vocal sample from a funky song we never finished or released, and yeah... it might make you jump out of your seat the first time you hear it. Totally unintentional, promise.
Hope you dig it, and happy birthday Val!🎂
In the meantime, we’re working on a song inspired by an ’80s classic we recently heard at a live gig, complete with a video! We’ll share it with you in a few days.
If you feel like it, hit us up in the comments! Thanks in advance for the feedback!
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on July 13, 2025.

Sticks of Funk (Instrumental)

LE VIDE NOUS EMMÈNE

We write this to express pain that can’t be put into words.

Our songs are resonance—
the sound of everything falling apart.

This is our little corner of the internet.
And to the 271 souls who feel us,
the 20,000 engaged listeners who keep showing up...

We thank you.

We see you.
We love you.
We’re screaming with you.

Wounds That Raised Me

Before the Fall- 
  
is a one-man band, created and produced entirely by me—JC—in my basement studio. I handle everything from vocals and guitar to production. I've been playing guitar for years and recently decided to share my music online.

My focus is mainly on the heavier side of metal, but I’m always open to creating anything that sounds cool and inspires me. Feedback is always welcome—I'm constantly working to improve and grow as an artist.

If you play bass, drums, or sing and you're into one of my tracks, feel free to DM me. I'm always open to collaborations!
