“Devils at Play” is a chilling exploration of the mind of a psychopath, a character driven by manipulation, chaos, and the hunger to control. The song strips away the mask of charm and exposes the sinister games hiding underneath. With dark, cinematic imagery and unrelenting emotion, it paints the portrait of someone who thrives on destruction, pulling others into their twisted web. At its core, “Devils at Play” isn’t just about evil for its own sake, it’s about the terrifying allure of power without empathy, and the scars left on those caught in its path.

The Devils at Play

This new indie album is my way of capturing the feeling of autumn nights, quiet rooms, and the strange beauty of being close to someone while the world fades outside. The songs are minimal in words but heavy in mood — sweaters, rain, shadows, and light all becoming part of the story. It’s melancholic but also cosy, a blend of intimacy and distance, memory and desire. These tracks live somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s mysticism, Beach House synths and the hazy trance of indie and dream-pop.

Rusted Throne

Mushroom girl, you wake the dead. 🍄

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I see you rising from the forest floor
Cap like violet, wide and worn
Your skin shifts color when the wind blows through
Tell me where you came from, who made you

[Pre-Chorus]
Dancing on your stem so thin
Oh, you're pulling me in

[Chorus]
You're the spore dancer, wild and strange
Born from dirt but you rearrange
Every thought inside my head
Mushroom girl, you wake the dead
Oh, you wake the dead

[Verse 2]
Your eyes are hollow but they see too much
Visions streaming when our fingers touch
Did you grow here or just appear one day?
In the morning mist you fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning on your roots so deep
Oh, you make me weep

[Chorus]
You're the spore dancer, wild and strange
Born from dirt but you rearrange
Every thought inside my head
Mushroom girl, you wake the dead
Oh, you wake the dead

[Bridge]
I watch you change from girl to bloom
Your spores fill up this tiny room
You speak in colors, breathe in time
Your mycelium wraps around my mind
Around my mind, ohhhhhh

[Verse 3]
When you dance the earth splits at your feet
Ancient wisdom in your heartbeat
You're not human but you understand
Take me with you to your fungus land

[Pre-Chorus]
Swaying with your arms spread wide
Oh, I'm on your side

[Chorus]
You're the spore dancer, wild and strange
Born from dirt but you rearrange
Every thought inside my head
Mushroom girl, you wake the dead

[Outro]
You wake the dead
You wake the dead

Spore Dancer

Strong is me
Strong above pain
Strong is me
Weak no shame

Build up me
Make me see
Build up me
Now I see

That

Don't be a copy
Be you
Don't be a copy
Be you

Strong is me
Strong above pain
Strong is me
Weak no shame

Build up me
Make me see
Build up me
Now I see

That

Don't be a copy
Be you
Don't be a copy
Be you

Vulnerability is not 
Something to be ashamed of
It's okay to be me
It's okay to be you
It's what we have in this world
It's what we have in this world

Build up me
Make me see
Build up me
Now I see

That

Don't be a copy
Be you
Don't be a copy
Be you

Don't Be a Copy

Text:
[Spoken Intro – “Jim’s Awakening”]
Where am I?
The air smells like plastic, the lights don’t flicker — they hum.
Everyone’s eyes are glowing blue…
Did I die — or did the world?

I reach for a match,
but fire’s gone.
There’s only screens now…
and no one burns anymore.

(Soft electric guitar fades in…)

Verse 1:
I woke up in a world of glass and glow,
everyone’s face lit by a screen below.
No one talks, they just scroll and stare,
and I’m standing here — breathing air.

Chorus:
People are stranger now,
colder somehow.
Eyes wide shut in the digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

(solo)

Verse 2:
I walked past ghosts in mirrored halls,
reflections whisper from shopping malls.
I said, “Hey, I’m Jim…” but they laughed it away,
“Who’s Jim?” — “Just another yesterday.”

Spoken Bridge:
They used to sing my songs in firelight,
now their music comes from clouds.
No guitars, no pain, no soul,
just code and ads — too loud.

I met a boy with wires in his head,
he said, “Man, I don’t dream — I download instead.”

(solo)

Chorus (reprise):
People are stranger now,
don’t even know how.
Hearts on mute in a digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

Outro:
Maybe I’m the ghost that stayed too long,
in a world that forgot the song.

Stranger now... stranger now...
(echo fades into analog hiss…)
