LYRICS:

pure purge on a splurge with an urge to demigod
the shit i been holding the back of my throat, been HOLDIN OUT on god
 
like GODDAMN, the sun’s knocking my tongue like Jev Witness
like GODDAMN the moon running laps like  Nike Fitness 

like sunday choirs echoing through an empty cathedral like 
god how could you gift me all this joy and no pain to carry it with either

god why would you clear my throat, can't choke on my spit anymore, 
sun and moon waltzing on my tongue,  purging trauma outta the door    [swallowed]

before my body - become choir to / the hymns of / my unhaunted memories 

purity clarified
dewdrops in hurricanes,
megaquake shatterin’

skyscrape-thoughts forgotten!

post purge of inkpages
spilling over your eardrums 

like what you got to say 
when those bells stop ringing 

when that cathedral is joy when 
god’s a hymn bellowing 
your most unholy sacrilege?

GODDAMN prayers,
all of your haters be 
“love you laters”
all of my witnesses
they own saviors
all of our beings be
divine leaders,
DEMON SLAYERS!

GODDAMN! [pure purge]

OFFICIALLY MY FIRST @HRDRV BEAT! love my community label <3

"New Year, Same Shit" questions the concept of "new  year new me". It asks the listener to reflect on the resolutions they've made, and hold themselves accountable. It emphasizes that life is temporary, and if you want to achieve your goals, then "you gotta give up what you're not". Recording this harmonic song in my closet and belting my heart out gave me pure joy. 

LYRICS:

New year, same shit!
Let’s do this! Resolutions ain’t shit without accountability.

 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

I’m Hector F  Castaneda of Dog Days Are Over, 	 
welcome to my world.	

 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)	

Verse:

If this life's not special,
Then my breath is blasphemy.
 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

If this life’s not eternal,
Then my breath is most holy.
 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

Hook:

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

Verse 2:

I’m always being reborn, destiny
This isn’t tied to your 2023.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (they within)

I’m sometimes feeling unborn, unhappily
I let go and I breathe on my knees.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (they within)
  

Hook:
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

Bridge:

If you tryna grow shit
Then give it all you got
If you’re gonna go big
You gotta give up what you’re not

Said if I’m tryna grow shit
Then I’ll give it all I got
If I’m gonna go big
Then I’ll give up what I’m not

This life’s a huge present
So you better hold it close
If you’re gonna transcend
You gotta firework and explode

This life’s one huge presence
So I better hold it close
If I’m gonna transcend
I gotta firework and explode~

If I’m gonna transcend
I gotta firework and explode~

Outro:

Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at?

LYRICS:

Pretty boys, they didn't teach me things I didn't know
They don't have the thing that I need, but they don't know they don't
You got that old thing about ya, and I can't hide my feels
Pretty girls, they always die out, need another sex appeal

I said come on, zero fucks about it
Come on, I know I'm gonna get hurt
Come on, zero fucks about it
Come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Pretty girls, they like it fancy but you don't keep it clean
We get dirty and we go hard, some things we don't mean
Tell me "No one's gonna get ya", I'm just straight up mad
A fool in love rolled up beside me and you're just as bad

I said come on, zero fucks about it
Come on, I know I'm gonna get hurt
Come on, zero fucks about it
Come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Keep playing it like
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like (keep playing it like)
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like
I'm gonna get hurt
I'm gonna get hurt
Ah, come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster (true disaster)
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Keep playing it like
Keep playing it like (you keep, you keep, you keep playing it like)
You keep playing it like
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like

Got no time for dust dealin’
But I got time for hearts breakin’
I got time for nightclubbin’

I’m a ghost in a business suit
I’m on top, but drink in the Truth:
I’m a diamond, done dealing pearls
I’m a target, you’ll take a shot… 

Refrain:

When I ghost you, when I ghost you like that

Verse:

I’m the Jekyll, yes I Hyde it well
I’m a monster if you couldn't tell
In the shadows, my demons dwell
Under my charm, a secret spell, and

I'm the kingpin of this city's game
But it’ll crumble when you find my name
In the daylight, I wear a crown
But in the moonlight, it’s going down, cause…

Hook:

I got no time for jail breakin’
Got no time for dust dealin’
But I got time for hearts breakin’
I got time for nightclubbin’

I’m a ghost in a business suit
I’m on top, but drink in the Truth
I’m a diamond, done dealing pearls
I’m   a target, you’ll take a shot

Refrain:

When I ghost you, when I ghost you like that

Verse 2:

I’m the Jekyll, but I’ll Hyde it well
Making a life that's free from hell
In the shadows, past demons dwell
But with this charm, I’ll cast a spell

I was kingpin of a city's game
But now I'll be done, yea I’ll change my name
In the daylight, build a new crown
In the moonlight, past dying down, cause…

We wrote this about queer discovery & being repressed as kids in church. Our rainbow prayer is to heal from the oppressions we face as queer people of colour, (intensified by the pandemic) by giving & receiving community care, and attaining self-acceptance. We pray for queer people worldwide, not the homophobic version of God we were taught growing up. Pollen & Dopamine would be great playlist fits.
Sad China has been featured in Exclaim! and is a non-binary 2023 Women In Music Canada Honouree.

LYRICS:

Ur in my heart
Not god but something more
Not man and not a war
I’m here

Praying to the moon
For the world to get better soon
My eyes are never dry
I see through our tears

Praying [x8]

Not a war, not god
For the world, not god

Praying [x8] 

Not a war, not god
For the world, not god

After meals were praise after praise
Droning racket in my mind just like a haze
Found another undercover, also hooked up with God
My bare-chested roommate had me lusting, no façade

Fit brainiac bathed in broad daylight
Body gleaming, temptation filled my eyes
Got bacne, wears glasses, but he’s still super hot-
[If I confessed what’s in my heart, I’d be exorcized on the spot]


They don’t fill our hunger
They can’t give us peace
They only sell an image
That we can’t achieve

[Praying
Not a war, not god
For the world, not god

Praying
Not a war, not god
For the world, not god]

Scavenger hunts for quote notes out of the Bible
(not a war, not god)
Forest all around was divinity unentitled

Frenzied prayer, willing the divine
And my brown queer mind knows it’s all inside:
the love and the shame that it melts with a wish,
to alchemize fear into the sparks of a switch.

I know your fears, homophobe/”all alone”:
see us in your mirror,
Let us whisper songs all round the globe:
We can free your soul, you know,
and you’ll love yourself… crystalline clearer.

 and now you got me [praying…]

‘cause-

They don’t fill our hunger
They can’t give us peace
They only sell an image
That we can’t achieve

(Background vox, + 8ve )
 (Ur in my heart
Not god but something more
Not man and not a war
I’m here)

Circled around a dusked dome adorned with roses,
Existence no longer a sin, we enter…  acceptance

White-robed and walking through a lanterned path 
Angels baptized my feet bared like I was Sabbath

Man… Chef couldn’t even just cook that tofu right
just browned it on the surface, oh god what awful sights
I had to eat nutritional yeast on a tostada… like what???

Fuck all your appropriation,

From scalping skins like genocide,

Your trust funds got blood diamonds!
Your face pale like zombie skin
You infected us so you could win (wetiko)

We indigi-queer but you call us fags
Your tongue colonized, you at dis-ease

Shut your mouth, open your wallet shithead. 	(Your wealth not free, donate to nonprofits in need.)

LYRICS:

All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

‘Cause I’m in the field
All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

Yeah I grew up in the Eastside 
Turned a hard life into a highlight
From NSLP to the UCs
I slay the whole block, no drive by

Grew up in a small store with big dreams
Mom-pop shop their own team
Now I’m a firm mind with a flower flow
Finna fill a stadium, paint the rows gold

In the field, always real
All you players can’t compare
Got that saucy glow-up glare
Got that saucy glow-up glare

Diamond sheets in the rough
Soften up til you feel tough
Macho gotcha bound in cuffs
Don't want your talk, I’m enough

All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

‘Cause I’m in the field
All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

Faced way too much trauma
To deal with your drama
My ancestors poppin’
Your aura not snatched yet

These racks in my future
I hold ‘em like futures
Just wait ‘til I’m featured
On your favorite film feature

Hey sorry, I gotta go
I got a couple more phone calls to go
This on the low
Got some more closers to show

What they gon’ know
I got ‘em lit like a match
Open they flow
Open they flow

Show them they power, they auras unmatched
Show them their value’s a whole lotta cash
Show them their value’s a whole lotta cash

All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

‘Cause I’m in the field
All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

Won't be silent anymore
I don't whisper behind doors
Heard my bars and you want more
Lock it in, bail paid in gold

I move mountains when I peak
I mean business when I speak
I make money into form
I made new lanes, won't conform

All this cash, I throw it up
Yeah you know it’s real
I go dummy when I’m plottin’ 

How you’ll get this feel
Cut my teeth on diamond shots 
And now my dreams are real
My dreams are real

LYRICS:

Horror, you are my wound
Safely, you bleed my wound

Please remember my silence

Please remember my cries
For me, for me

I’m completely fine
Blood fermenting into wine

Soy el pan y la sangre 
El cuerpo y el vino llorante

The words in my throat,
They take their chokehold

When will you free me?
When will you exorcise— me?

I’m completely fine
Blood fermenting into wine

Soy el pan y la sangre 
El cuerpo y el vino llorante

Horror, you are my wound
Safely, you bleed my wound

Please remember my silence, oh
Please remember my cries, oh

For me, for me
For me, for me

I’m completely wine
Fermenting into blood just fine

I’m the bread and the bloodstains,
the body and the wine, crying out rain

Ah, ah, ah

Post-Chorus

This time I’m not broken

Verse 2

I’m skatin’ through the metaverse
Chrome armor shields me
It seems hard to believe, but   
It’s not just fantasy

You don’t wanna see it but   
I’m drifting towards my future, you’re
Gas on the high beams, blinding lights but
I’m paving my own way

Chorus 3

Just, you, wait

You on that X - Y but I’m on that Z  (This time I’m not broken...)
You won’t expand, won’t expand with me

Chorus 4

Just, you, wait

You’re gonna wish
you’d left your heart in me

This is an original channeled light language song featuring acapella vocal layers sung, produced, & engineered by Ametaphor as a personalized gift tailored to Hector's aura that came as an experimental perk with collecting the Jukaru NFT in the top tier which was offered via Tribly in January 2023. The energy in the song captures a moment of transformation in what Hector calls 'Alchemic Activation', a visionary portal that weaves dreams, consciousness, and energetic fusing to flow into creative clarity. The art piece is a hand drawn pixel piece that features colors that Ametaphor felt Hector's aura both reflected and could be inspired into harmony with, using a calming peach toned palette with subtle neon glimpses, similar to a bright opal. Together, in the minting process of this creation, Ametaphor & Hector the Alchemist are exploring minting this unique creation at the end of 2023 as a way to celebrate moving into 2024 and all the alchemy that the year of this crossing of paths has activated :)

Rina Sawayama's gayass song "Cherry" was the first song I'd ever heard from her. I was in awe of this amazing queer woman of color expressing her journey of coming out to the world. "Even though I'm satisfied, I live my life within a lie. Holding onto feelings I'm not used to feeling, but OH they make me feel alive!" I couldn't help but bring it to life amidst a full orchestra full of ambiance.

[Verse]
I wasn't in the mood for love
But you're quite funny
I see that you want me
I guess I could do this
It was kinda like a summer love
OJ and soda
So sweet it could kill you
I should check what I'm sippin' on

[Chorus]
Don't play with my heart
I'm tryna be smart, but
I can't control this, hold on
I'm dizzy with headaches
I need a medic
Can you stay still while I'm like this?
Ah-oh, mmm, mmm

[Verse]
She's the kinda girl who will fuck you up
I'm the kinda girl who will love too much
Remember when I kissed all of the tears off your face?
You want endless care and infinite space, mmm

[Chorus]
Don't play with my heart
I'm tryna be smart, but
I can't control this, hold on
I'm dizzy with headaches
I need a medic
Can you stay still while I'm like this?


[Outro]
Lipstick on my neck, I won't forget, I won't forget you
Eyes shut, I'm a wreck, there's no sunset
There's no sunset without you
There's no sunset without you
There's no sunset without you

RAVEENA - "HEADACHES" [INSTRUMENTAL] [KARAOKE VIDEO LINK BELOW]

"HEAVEN IS A CURSE INSIDE MY MIND,
RUNNING IN THE CIRCLES OF YOUR EYES."
~
“lovely is my attempt to outrun a fear that I destroyed the beginnings of a new relationship… and I’m not just talking about staining my new white sneakers.” 

The emerging talent also discusses mental health and why the video uses the horror genre as a way to describe his inner feelings. 

“I’ll never forget the first time I watched Donnie Darko; it was during my darker days in high school when I was pretty alone and depressed and I remember staring at the tv screen as if I was looking into a mirror. I really idolized and feared the similarities I shared to those kinds of characters,” Dillon said. 

He continued: “Now as an adult, I look back at these cult classics with such heavy inspiration to embrace the f*cked up parts of my subconscious; not only is it a lot of fun playing psycho but there’s a lot of poetic truth to your own madness.”
