Inspired by the legendary game from 1995: Hexen (my all time fav - I know, who cares). This track is absolutely recorded without any quantization (of course, the drumline is programmed). I hope you enjoy this one as well!

Ephémérie 4 (Extended Orchestral)

New original song by Social Deception recorded at home on August 15, 2019
Lyrics:
It’s not about my feelings,
It’s not about your hurt,
It’s not about the hearts,
Been left in dirt,
It’s not about the future,
It’s not about the past,
It’s all about the present,
And if I come last,
It’s not about the money,
Or lack thereof,
In our poverty,
We push we shove,
It’s not about the guilt,
Not about the lies,
Not about the neighbors,
And their midnight cries,

4x Weigh me down, too much pressure

It’s all about alone,
It’s all about the lost,
It’s all about the ones,
Who paid the highest cost,
It’s about the forgotten,
The left behind,
It’s about the people,
Who lost their minds,

4x Weigh me down, too much pressure

It’s not about the secrets,
It’s about the hurt,
It’s not about authority,
That we subvert,
It’s about the honesty,
It’s about the truth,
It’s about the casualties,
Of our lost youth.

4x Weigh me down, too much pressure

Weigh Me Down

No means No.  Stop means Stop.  Silence does not mean yes.

Don't Tell

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

"Photos In My Mind" was written on day 15 of our social distancing and stay at home orders during the coronavirus outbreak of 2020,  I was already missing doing all the things I did and wondering "when will this go by?"

Photos In My Mind

The sadness of how life around us is so quiet and we can't get to  see and be with the people we love.

To Be With You

Sternschnuppen (feat. Adrian Kunz)

This song is called R.O.A.C.H. (Relentless Odium & A Careless Hero)

Just an unfinished demo like all the others, basically a rough structuring of what I have done so far. Maybe I'll add the lyrics but for now, I do kinda like it as it is. It's like I can feel what the song should be, or wants to be and where it want's to go but I just can't quite do it haha. Anyhow, that is a problem for future me to figure out, enjoy!
