🔻 Song Insight – Nostalgic Cry
Nostalgic Cry is a brutal unraveling — a breakup anthem for the soul that never got closure. This track hits like a punch from the past: part confessional, part cinematic collapse. It paints the portrait of someone who finally sees behind the mask, but still hears the echoes of what used to feel like love.

It’s a story about waking up — painfully and permanently — from the version of someone you used to believe in. The verses are bitterly quiet, the pre-chorus punches hard, and the hook swings with clarity: this was always a performance, and you were always the audience.

With glitch-laced ambiance, sharp vocal delivery, and a hook that flips memory into indictment, Nostalgic Cry doesn’t just mourn the loss — it exposes the playbook.

🔻 Lyrics
Verse
The whispers in the night used to make me stay
The evil grin I thought was your only sin
Now your words — they echo pain from within

Pre-Chorus
I'm done with all your shit
The lies that fall from your lips
The very ones you kissed me with

Bridge (Catchy Hook)
Flipped inside out, turned upside down
It’s your darker side
This is not my friend
Not the one that used to defend…

Chorus (Catchy Hook)
Rehearsed, practiced a thousand times
Watched us closely, memorized our every line
Now reactions are your only guide
Set the stage for my own fucked up demise

Verse
No longer I hear your fucking lies
I opened my prerendered eyes
You're my past — just a nostalgic cry

🔻 Artist Reflection
I wrote Nostalgic Cry when I finally stopped rationalizing someone else’s darkness. It’s about how long you can mistake manipulation for mystery, and performance for passion. This song came from years of trying to hold together someone who was rehearsing every emotion while I was living mine for real.

The title isn’t just a reference to grief — it’s about how distorted love can become once it’s filtered through memory. It’s when you realize your favorite scene was staged… and you’re the one who paid for the production. There’s sadness in that. But there’s power in saying it out loud.

🔻 About 4Me2BeFree
4Me2BeFree transforms emotional wreckage into cinematic truth. Every track is rooted in lived experience — heartbreak, survival, reclaiming self-worth — all reshaped through powerful lyrical storytelling and haunting melodic design. Nostalgic Cry is part of that mission: brutal, poetic, and unforgettable.

Forget It For Good

This is a song about an artist who is trapped in his own dreams and thus unable to move forward and paint on his real world.

Dreaming Artist (Awakening Version)

Stay

Stay a While

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the skies wear every hue,
But none as bright as me and you.
You walked in like a quiet flame,
And suddenly, I felt my name.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to try, you just exist...
And somehow every wound forgets.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every hope I never knew,
Only you... always you.

[Verse 2]
You don’t fix me; you let me grow,
You see the parts I never show.
And in your eyes, I find my truth,
The kind of love that feels like proof.

[Pre-Chorus]
When I fall short or drift away,
You’re the voice that makes me stay.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every hope I never knew,
Only you... always you.

[Bridge]
And I would choose you in every life,
In every song, through joy or strife.
No matter where this road will wind,
With you, I’m home; I’m safe, I’m fine.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every dream that I hold true,
Only you... always you.
