City of Fire

You were born from spark and splinter
In a world too slow for your stride
Always chasing what comes quicker
Always burning from inside
You don’t wait, you never linger
You strike the match before the thought
But even fire fears the quiet
Even fire feels forgot

They told you to settle, to soften, to fold
But gods don’t grow gentle, they only grow bold

You are the first flame
Running with the wind again
No road, no chain
Only what's ahead remains
Let them call you reckless
Let them call you wild
You were made for breaking
Every rule they file
First to bleed
First to rise
First to scream
Into the sky

You wear your scars like medals
You love like you’re at war
But every battle leaves you colder
Than the one that came before
You're not afraid of dying
You're just afraid of stopping still
‘Cause when it’s quiet, something whispers
That the fire might never heal

They told you to listen, to learn to retreat
But your heart pounds loud like drums in heat

You are the first flame
Running with the wind again
No fear, no shame
Only fire in your name
Let them call you foolish
Let them call you wrong
You were built for battles
Where the weak don’t belong
First to fight
First to fall
First to burn
Through it all

But even fire needs a place to rest
Even gods grow tired in the chest
Even you, with your blood so bright
Can’t outrun every lonely night

You are the first flame
The howl beneath the storm and stone
You are the war cry
That never stands alone
They will try to douse you
Try to take your spark
But you were born for
Setting fire to the dark
First to blaze
Last to bend
You are the fire
That does not end

Aries - First Flame

Dieser Song erzählt meine persönliche Geschichte:
Von Akten und Lügen, von einem System, das trennt, und von einer Stimme, die immer wieder überhört wurde.
Es ist die Perspektive eines Vaters, der um sein Kind kämpft – gegen Kälte, Vorurteile und Ungerechtigkeit.

Doch trotz allem bleibt etwas bestehen: die Liebe.
Eine Liebe, die stärker ist als jede Mauer, die frei macht und Hoffnung gibt.

Mit „Nie gehört“ möchte ich all jenen eine Stimme geben, die nicht gehört werden.
Es ist ein Lied über Verlust, aber auch über Mut, Standhaftigkeit und das, was uns Menschen im Innersten verbindet.

Nie gehört

Die verlorene Wahrheit - Nie gehört

“Shattered Reality” is more than just an album—it’s a violent collision between trap beats and rock anthems, where broken souls scream their truth over distorted guitars and heavy 808s.

From the haunting echoes of “Broken Crown” to the explosive rage of “Final Burn”, this record dives into the chaos of betrayal, addiction, heartbreak, and revenge. Every track shifts between melodic vulnerability and raw aggression, creating a world where pain turns into power.

Inspired by the chaotic energy of Falling In Reverse, this album blends emotional screams, haunting melodies, and hard-hitting trap flows. It’s not just music—it’s an exorcism of demons, a rebellion against the past, and a reminder that even in destruction, there’s beauty.

If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, or consumed by the dark, “Shattered Reality” was made for you.

I’m a songwriter, not a performer. Hence the schizophrenic nature of my music. I write for other voices and a vast variety of styles. My tracks aren’t about showing off my own 'sound'. They’re about building stories and moods that come to life through whoever’s at the mic.

You won’t find me singing. I don’t try to fit a single genre. One day it’s indie rock, heavy metal or big band, the next it’s gospel, folk, funk, French café or something utterly different.

No image, no stage persona, no single sound - just songs, written to fit the voice that brings them to life.
