The Deepest Mirror

Lyrics :

Crazy thoughts all through my head, Thinking of you
Should I lie with someone else, What should I do
Think I need some distance, Leave you behind
Please give me just one more drink, To ease my mind

Where were you when I needed you most 
You packed your bags and headed off for the coast
Where were you when I needed you most 
But now, I've lost you forever


Thoughts running through my mind
Waiting for the phone
While Im lying here
Lying here all alone

I tried my best to please you, But you don't understand
You thought our sex was great, But I'd rather use my hand
As I stumble out of bed, My feet hit the floor
I hope it's you, I know it's you that's, Knocking at my door

SCRUPLES

Fool

Just a nice acoustic song dedicated to my children and grandchildren.

Your Time is Now
you will shine you will glow
From your heart you will know
this is the time of your life
your party
your show

Your Time Is Now

Rebelling against a flawed system and uncertain future.

I Get It

Always Twilight (Remix)

seeing in the dark
i see you but you don't see me
in the shadows i perceive clearly
things that used to be obscure to me

let's go back to that place where we did those things
of the sunset and the stars we'll sing
a little sympathy and peace to bring

once there was a house
then there was a child
then there was a car
and the times got less wild
but when i look at you i'm still beguiled

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly
improbably
around you and me

lying in the dark
i know you have your eyes on me
you perceive but you will never see
in the end that what will be will be

these seasons come and go with the ebb and flow
but if you'd only close your eyes you'd know
you can only reap the seeds you sew

once there was a dawn
then there was a day
then there was a dusk
and the moon would come along and say
that there can never be another way

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly  
improbably
around you and me

flowers will grow
amid the stones and the snow

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly  
improbably
around you and me

Chemistry

“Simulacrealm” is one of Archer 23’s most conceptually ambitious pieces—a sonic exploration of reality, illusion, and the spaces where digital and emotional worlds blur. The title itself hints at a layered experience, and the music delivers: intricate, evolving, and immersive from the first note.

The track opens with a crystalline atmosphere—glitch-like textures and refracted synth tones that feel both futuristic and introspective. As rhythmic elements emerge, they create a sense of motion through an artificial landscape, evoking imagery of simulated skies and dreamlike architecture. Each layer seems to question what’s real and what’s constructed, echoing the philosophical undertones of the piece.

Archer 23’s production is meticulous, yet it never feels sterile. Beneath the polished surface lies a pulse of human emotion—yearning, curiosity, perhaps even disorientation. It’s this balance between precision and feeling that makes it resonate so deeply.

“Simulacrealm” is a mesmerizing fusion of sound design and sentiment—a digital mirage rendered with striking emotional clarity. Archer 23 transforms abstraction into atmosphere, crafting a world that’s as haunting as it is beautiful.
