Here's a song description based on your lyrics:
This powerful rock anthem, with its raw emotion and driving force, tells the story of a man haunted by his past, struggling to build a new future against a world unwilling to forgive. Despite his efforts to atone and grow, society's judgment acts as a constant "Suppression," a relentless force that keeps him down. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal and external battles he faces, as whispers and unyielding accusations prevent his scars from fading. It's a defiant cry for understanding and a poignant look at the heavy burden of societal condemnation.


Suppression

World of change

Mind maze feat 《Freyan》

Twisted Love

Home was full of landmines, each step unsure
Words like shrapnel, sharp and impure
The table shook when his shadow grew
We learned the script of what not to do

Eyes on the clock, hands never bold
A fragile child, too young to grow old
Walls held secrets, screams left their trace
We wore our silence like armor and grace

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The past lives on in subtle refrains
A flinch at kindness, the weight of chains
I scan the faces, I read the air
Still braced for storms that aren’t really there

His voice lingers in the back of my head
A phantom editor of words unsaid
Even love feels like a test to pass
A trembling echo in fragile glass

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The ink may bleed, but my hand is steady
The future waits, the pen is ready
What was a prison now feels like grace
I’ll draw new maps on the same old space

I am the palimpsest, bold and free
A story unbound, still writing me

Palimpsest

Part 1 of 8 The Promise《The Founding》

This song is a chapter from The Life of a Nation—an ambitious 8-song metal story cycle that traces the turbulent history, moral struggles, and evolution of the United States, from the ideals of the Founding to the uncertainties of the future.
The entire set is performed as a dramatic Male/Female Duet between two essential voices:
 * Mother Nature (Female Vocal): The eternal, ancient witness and conscience of the land, providing perspective and warning.
 * The People (Male Vocal): The active, struggling force of ambition, fury, and defiance that builds and breaks the nation.
Every song in the cycle grapples with the core tension: "The light is still failing the name."
Follow the entire story to experience the complete saga:
| Part | Title |
|---|---|
| I | The Promise (The Founding) |
| II | The Contradiction (The Early Conflict) |
| III | A Nation Divided (The Reckoning) |
| IV | The Ascent (Expansion and Industry) |
| V | The Great Test (Crisis and Resilience) |
| VI | Shaking the Foundation (The Revolution Within) |
| VII | Modern Complexity (The Digital Age) |
| VIII | The Unwritten Chapter (The Future) |
