Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

[Verse 1]
I found an old map in the drawer, creased and worn thin,
Highways like scars where we’d both let the world in.
You said, “Follow the lines, they’ll lead you somewhere true,”
But the roads only led me back to you.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.
[music hook]
[Verse 2]
The coffee shop booth where we sat feels like a ghost town now,
Your laugh was a melody I can’t remember how.
I trace the cracks in the table, the ones we used to ignore,
Like the fractures in us we never learned to restore.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.

[Bridge]
I keep the map folded, though it’s useless and torn,
A relic of the places we were never sworn.
The ink’s fading fast, like the promises we made,
But I can’t let go of the roads we never paved.

[Outro]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the skies above,
But no chart can guide me through the wreckage of love.
I’ll keep moving forward, though the road’s unclear,
Maybe the destination’s not why I’m here.
And maybe the beauty’s in the trying, not the rhyme,
In the way we keep searching for what we left behind.

Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

Echoes in an Unwritten Labyrinth by Hot Cookie

[Verse 1]
I built this maze with hands I barely know,
Each brick a question, every turn a slow unravel.
The air hums static, thick with what I owe,
To versions of myself I couldn’t travel.
The walls are paper-thin, but still they hold,
A thousand stories etched in fading gold.

[Chorus]
I’m the builder, the ghost, the tangled thread,
A storm of whispers turning in my head.
Every corner bends, a deeper shade of red,
I’m chasing silence, but it’s louder instead.

[Verse 2]
I painted constellations on the floor,
But they dissolved beneath the weight of time.
The door I locked is rattling once more,
A rhythm I can’t place, a broken rhyme.
I hear the hum of engines I can’t name,
A symphony of loss I can’t reclaim.

[Chorus]
I’m the builder, the ghost, the tangled thread,
A storm of whispers turning in my head.
Every corner bends, a deeper shade of red,
I’m chasing silence, but it’s louder instead.

[Bridge]
The spiral tightens, but I see the crack,
A sliver of the world I’m coming back.
The weight begins to lift, the shadows thin,
A fragile light I’m learning to let in.
The storm still turns, but now it feels like home,
A quiet revolution in my bones.

[Verse 3]
I walk the maze, but now I feel the ground,
The walls are shifting, softer now, unbound.
The echoes fade, replaced by something new,
A melody I’m finally moving through.
The labyrinth dissolves, the air turns clear,
And in the stillness, I can finally hear.

[Outro]
I’m the builder, the ghost, but now I’m free,
A storm of whispers turning into me.
Every corner bends, but now I see it true,
I’m chasing silence, and it leads me to you.

I’m chasing silence, and it
 leads... me... to... you...( leads... me... to... you..)...

Echoes in an Unwritten Labyrinth by Hot Cookie

Here’s a bilingual deep house song with a dark, hypnotic, seductive, and mysterious vibe, incorporating themes of the heart, body, energy, and flow—all while keeping that sensual, almost dangerous allure.

This song has that seductive, hypnotic deep house vibe with bilingual lyrics that flow between mystery, passion, and danger.

Corazon de Fuego

You out, you out, you out
Buried deep, ain’t no way back now
You out, you out, you out
Ain’t no space in my boneyard now

Used to hold a spot for you, now it’s vacant land
All that love I gave was just a sleight of hand
You been diggin’ graves where your bridges stand
Now the dirt’s on you, hope you understand

Left me waitin’ at the door, now you knockin’ late
Sayin’ all the right things, but it’s past my fate
I was buried in your lies, took my time to climb
Now your echoes just a whisper in the back of my mind

I was keeping count, you ain’t know the score
Now you just a shadow lurkin’ at my door
Names on my list, scratched out in red
You don’t exist, just a voice in my head

You out, you out, you out
Buried deep, ain’t no way back now
You out, you out, you out
Ain’t no space in my boneyard now

Who’s in your boneyard? Do they whisper, too?
Or you still countin’ ghosts, tryna play it cool?
I was just another name in the book you tore
But I crawled out the dirt, ain’t your fool no more

Kept my hands clean, but you love the mess
Turnin’ love into war, now you second guess
Can’t outrun the past, it’s still on your breath
Bet you feel it in your bones every time you rest

Ooooh, I hear them calling
But I don’t answer no more
Ooooh, let ‘em fade to nothing
Just dust on my floor

You out, you out, you out
Buried deep, ain’t no way back now
You out, you out, you out
Ain’t no space in my boneyard now

Who’s in your boneyard?
Who’s in your boneyard?
Just another name… just another name…

You Out

Time moves slow
And I don’t wanna know
Where the hurt begins
Or how deep it goes

I’ve been living in a loop
Familiar and cruel
Looking for a way
To feel something new

Distract me, I want to forget
Get my head out of the dark space
Hold me close, not too close
Let me breathe in a softer place
Distract me, I want to forget

Laughter fades
Like a song I used to play
I wear a grin
That’s starting to fray

No need for truth
Just give me the lie
That I’m not alone
On this midnight ride

One breath, one beat
I’m not asking for peace
Just a break from the noise
A moment of ease

Distract Me

Chapter One:
I didn't jump—the world just let me go...
Down, (down,) where the lost things grow...
The grass was singing lullabies that summer afternoon,
When time got stuck in honey and the clocks forgot their tune.
A pocket watch went scurrying through the dandelion fluff,
And I followed like a dreamer who's never dreamt enough.
The bottles whispered secrets, the door handles sighed,
Every "Drink Me" potion came with truth inside...
Down the rabbit hole, where the logic bends,
Where flowers give you sermons and the talking cats pretend.
The Queen keeps shouting orders but her kingdom's made of sand,
I didn't jump—the world just let me go...(let me go)
The Hatter poured his riddles into cups of chamomile,
While the Dormouse murmured prophecies between each sleepy smile.
The cards were painting crimson on the white rose petals there,
Covering their mistakes with such meticulous care.
 sentenced me to nonsense at the trial in my head,
The verdict? "Guilty of growing up," the jury said...
Down the rabbit hole, where the logic bends,
Where flowers give you sermons and the talking cats pretend.
The Queen keeps shouting orders but her kingdom's made of sand,
I didn't jump—the world just let me go......(let me go)
Now I'm home with dirt-stained knees and wonder in my hair,
The kind that doesn't wash out no matter how you care.
That looking-glass still calls me when the morning light is thin,
Between the "once upon" and "time we begin."
madness isn't losing where the edges are,
But remembering how wide the universe was as a child,
Down, down, where the lost things go... didn't jump—you know....
just forgot to hold on......(didn't jump)—the world just let me go......(let me go)
.(didn't jump)...(let me go)...(go)

Rabbit Hole Let Go by Hot Cookie

Cette chanson trace un voyage introspectif à travers le temps, où se mêlent des instants d’adieux et d’espoir. Avec une mélodie rêveuse et éthérée, elle explore le fragile équilibre entre profiter du présent et chérir les souvenirs. C’est une réflexion sur des rêves envolés, et un hommage au doux poids des doutes qui nous accompagnent jusqu’à la fin.

Murmur de la Fin

Changing the style for this track. Pop, indie, grunge influences and a lyric that brings consciousness for people in need of change for a better version of themselves.

I Dont Care

A song born from a quiet night,
carrying memories across endless skies.

Even if we are far apart,
we are always under the same sky.

Soft Future Bass × Japanese and English lyrics.
A gentle echo of love and memories floating through the night.

— Lyrics: Rivi
— Concept & Production Support: Nyx (AI)and suno AI

under the same sky

Beneath Me

Other Side Of A Lie   Edwin H Balder
I used to be the steady kind,
The faithful heart, the quiet mind.
But one mistake can tear apart,
 lies can shoot down the brightest star.
I was the one who stayed through storms,
Anchored safe while love took form.
Through others’ lies, through fractured trust,
I wore my promise ..never turned trust to dust
He believed me, and I believed too,
A rock for us when skies turned blue.
But what’s a vow when temptations hum?
I shot my star  down and came undone.
Oh, how did I let it slip away?
The faithful one has gone astray.
I lost myself, I lost my guide,
And now I’m standing on the other side of a lie.
 standing on the other side of a lie.
(other side of a lie.)
The mirror shows a stranger’s face,
A fleeting thrill, a hollow space.
He asked me once if I’d be true,
And now the answer’s sharp, it’s cruel.
The hands that held, the lips that swore,
Are strangers now, they hurt much more.
I can’t undo, I can’t go back,
our faithful road now full of cracks.
Oh, how did I let it slip away?
The faithful one has gone astray.
I lost myself, I lost my guide,
And now I’m standing on the other side of a lie.
 standing on the other side of a lie.
It wasn’t just him that I betrayed,
It’s the girl I was, now so afraid.
I broke the line, the thread’s unwound,
And all I’ve lost—there’s no rebound.
The stars above, they burn and fall,
Reminding me I lost it all.
If I could turn and face the sky,
Undo the moment when trust could die,
I’d hold his heart, I’d keep it whole,
Instead of tearing at my soul.
But here I am, a star burned out,
Lost in darkness, filled with doubt.
The lesson learned too late to mend,
Some wounds may heal, but trust won’t bend.
Some wounds may heal, (may heal)
 but. trust ..won’t.. bend.
 trust ........won’t........ bend......
I used to be the steady kind,
But even stars fall out of line.
A single act can tear apart,
 so think twice before you start
I lost myself, I lost my guide,
And now I’m standing on the other side of a lie.
 standing on the other side of a lie.
the ..other.. side... of a lie....(a lie)
other.. side... of a lie....(a lie)
