Life’s tough, especially when you lose something you loved so much and always felt safe around.

Heartbreak Homicide (Dv4d Rimex)

Welcome to "Happiness," a song that celebrates the simple joys and moments that make life truly special. Back at the end of 2023, I reached out to friends on social media, asking them to share their definitions of happiness. Their heartfelt responses inspired the lyrics of this track, turning their collective wisdom into a melody that resonates with all of us.

"Happiness" is more than just a song; it's a tapestry woven from shared experiences and cherished memories. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, enjoying a peaceful moment with a cup of coffee, or finding joy in solitude with your favorite records, this song captures the essence of those moments that bring us true contentment.

Happiness

LYRICS:

Gather round
The lights down
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Throw it back
I’m throwing money
Pick your president

Girl shake that ass
Work for this cash
Pick your president

Body so soft
You like rough
Pick your president

Just do your dance as
Your body syncopates with the music
Show me everything you’ve been dying to share
Work for daddy

You’ve got passion
Somewhat like the scent of the candles
And within that fire our bodies are here

Girl you put on a show
Changing up your rhythm and flow
Ima throw this money
In god we trust

Take your time take your time
How you do it one of a kind

The way you work that body
To take my mind

Tip toeing over the clothes
Guess this is the end of the show

Ouuu the way you’re looking
You just don’t know


Pick Your President

Captivity is not about heartbreak — it’s a chilling descent into real psychological imprisonment. Identity is stripped away, reality rewritten, and freedom itself begins to feel dangerous.

Drawing on captivity trauma theory, Stockholm Syndrome, and behavioral conditioning, Exzenya transforms her voice and production into a cinematic portrait of control and isolation. The track opens with a haunting reinterpretation of the folk refrain “Down in the valley…” delivered in a rare, resonant low vocal, paired with hollow wind that feels like a broken transmission through an old radio. From there, the song builds into a dark, minor-key arrangement where vocals climb into plaintive highs, mirroring the push and pull of despair and yearning.

Captivity isn’t just a song — it’s a haunting story set to music. Opening with the ghostly echo of “Down in the valley” and a chilling wind, Exzenya pulls listeners into a dark world of isolation and control. Her deep, resonant lows and emotional highs make every line feel like a cry from the inside of a locked room. Cinematic, eerie, and unforgettable — this is storytelling that feels like a film score trapped inside a pop song.

MOONDALA

Who wants to wake up on Time Square, to greet the break of day?
Who intends to be slave to algorithms that rule the stormy waves?
Who wants to hide from the humming of drones that conquer the sky?
Who thought he would feel for an avatar with a soul made of AI ?

Sometimes it’s hard to be honest, to realize just how you feel
About all that you do and people think that you stand for and one day it becomes unreal
What about the boys of your neighbours, have you seen them last year?
Will they turn up again at the major blackout or ad infinitum disappear?

Who wants to dive in a beautiful lake when it’s endlessly deep and black as a raven
The water was yellow but at least we knew what was going on in the year of 97

I wish I was back in my small town, being home
I wish I could give up and back down, going home
Twice an hour I heard the trains stop, then rollin’ on
Guess I didn’t ask myself if I belonged there

Ronny’s world was torn to pieces, out here he’s my only friend 
He loved his work at the insurance now he lost his fundament
Human don’t take decisions no more except for the president
He talks to a therapist everyday but it ain’t a human person 

Who wants to dive in a beautiful lake when it’s endlessly deep and the currents grow stronger
The rain was acidic but at least we knew how to deal with it in the year of 91

I wish I was back in my small town, in 91
I wish I could give up and back down, be the long lost son
Twice an hour I heard the trains stop, it’s a long time gone
Sure I didn’t ask myself then if I belonged there
I wish I was back in my small town, being home
I wish I could give up and back down, going home
Twice an hour I heard the trains stop, then rollin’ on
Guess I didn’t ask myself if I belonged there
