Where are we now?

The Flame is a song of grief and memory, spoken for those whose voices are too often silenced. It traces the arc of destruction: from occupation to retaliation, from blame to blindness, from denial to rage.

Built on minimal, mournful tones, the song asks what happens when those crushed underfoot finally rise, when silence becomes fire.

This isn’t protest for effect.
It’s a witness statement.

For the shattered streets.
For the lost names.
For the truths we bury, then mourn when they burn.
For Gaza

Lyrics 

You fenced them in with walls and wire,
Then watched their dreams burn out in fire.
You starved their hopes, denied their name,
Then turned and asked, “Who lit the flame?”

You dropped your bombs, then blamed their cries,
Called every tear a pack of lies.
You called them beasts, you called them wrong,
But beasts are made when pain is long.

You cut their roots, you stole their land,
Then crushed them with a bloodstained hand.
You took their fathers, stole their bread,
Then built your walls while children bled.

You made their schools into a tomb,
Their playgrounds echo war’s perfume.
You made their skies a place of dread,
Where drones now sing above their head.

And when they rose with stone or flame,
You wrapped them in a terror’s name.
But what you cage will learn to bite,
And fire will grow in absence of light.

So don’t pretend you do not know,
Why hatred blooms where nothing grows.
You birthed this fury, fed its breath,
Then cried for peace while sowing death.

You didn’t just react to pain,
You primed the fuse, then cursed the flame.
And until truth is seen and spoken,
No truce will hold, no cycle broken.

The Flame

🔻 Song Insight
“Past-Life” is a raw emotional reckoning wrapped in alt-rock and rap-rock grit. It captures the psychological aftermath of a toxic love—the kind that doesn't just leave you, but embeds itself in your nervous system like a ghost with a key to your triggers. The song moves like a confession in reverse: distorted guitar swells mirror inner chaos, while sharp rap verses detail a mind unraveling under betrayal and abandonment. Each chorus is a collapsed heartbeat—a scream into the silence left behind. It’s a sonic filmstrip of pain, stitched with the thread of self-resurrection.

Lyrically, it speaks to survivors of emotional abuse, those who’ve been gaslit, left behind, and made to question their own worth. The metaphor of a sweater unraveling into a noose is not just poetic—it's personal. "Past-Life" isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what you carry long after, when love has turned into a prison you still can’t fully escape.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro – Rap flow, lo-fi beat under vocals]
vinyl crackle
deep inhale
Pulled from the back seat, cold hands shake
Didn’t let go, didn’t know it was fake
Promises gone like fog in the night
Left again—gotta relive the fight

[Verse 1 – Rap continues, heavy guitar stabs]
List full of ghosts that I can’t resist
Why I can’t tell when the lie gets kissed
Saw it in your eyes—I froze, dismissed
You took my past, made it your hitlist

[Pre-Chorus – Shift to sung, tension builds]
Pulled from hell, you enlisted
Seeing truth you thought unseen
Scars a record, scorn a war
Pain torn and trapped in walls

[Chorus – Soaring and melodic]
You left me as I fell — burning I yelled
My world collapsed, no looking back
I’m the one who knows what you lack
And I still hear your silence
Like a knife in the track

[Refrain – Echo effect possible]
Call me desperate—it’s true
My fault for ever loving you

[Verse 2 – Back to sung, emotional tension]
Can’t say I’m ready—it’s been years
I can’t trust, it’s just built-in fear
I know I’m worth more than this
I give my heart a history—it fits

[Pre-Chorus – Softer, more internal]
Lungs hit and bleed, no air
Feeling parts of me now not clear
The pain I used to feel—yeah, it's real
And it owns me still

[Chorus – Return to full energy]
You left me as I fell — burning I yelled
My world collapsed, no looking back
I’m the one who knows what you lack
And I still hear your silence
Like a knife in the track

[Bridge – Distorted, delayed vocals]
Energy seeps from my pores
Falling down across the floors
I see chaos in my midst
Echoes of a life I don’t miss

A truth that gets stuck and pulls
This sweater I wear — it unwinds
As it loops it binds
A noose killing me in time

[Breakdown – Stripped vocals, wide reverb]
My voice... rip-torn from this world
Closed—I’m trying to let this go
Splintered but needing a spine
These growing pains stop in time

[Chorus – Final repeat, vocals stacked]
You left me as I fell — burning I yelled
My world collapsed, no looking back
I’m the one who knows what you lack
And I still hear your silence
Like a knife in the track

[Outro – Slow fade, heartbeat & feedback]
Can’t explain what shouldn’t be said
A past life lived, a version of hell
You’ll never see what I had to feel
My own worst prison...
These bars I still keep sealed

heartbeat fades
guitar feedback lingers

Simply Joanna is dedicated to one of the most genuine and beautiful people I've ever come across.

Finally Free

[Intro – breathy, quiet]
I still keep your voice in my headphones
Like maybe I’ll press play
And we’ll fix it…

[Verse 1 – whispered sadness]
I folded first, I know that’s true
You needed light, I stayed the bruise
You asked for warmth, I pulled away
Now I sleep through most my days

I scroll through shots we never took
I watch your name like it’s a book
That I reread just to feel
Like you were something real

You moved on soft — I stay stuck sharp
I lost your love, I lost my part
Of me that smiled when skies were blue
I don’t blame you... I don’t blame you

[Hook – falsetto, layered vocals]
I hope he holds you like I couldn't
I hope you forget how I pulled it
All apart when you were soft
I broke the glass, I paid the cost

But if the light feels cold and wrong
If he don’t get your favorite songs
Just know my door still stays ajar
Even if you’re someone else’s star

[Verse 2 – spoken-rap blend, cracked tone]
I miss the fights, the way you cried
It meant I mattered… at least that night
Now all I get is dreams at best
You left — and peace took all the rest

I drink to sleep, I sleep to hide
I laugh online but rot inside
My friends ask why I fell apart
I lost your name, I lost my heart

You loved me full — I showed up half
Still you stayed, and I just laughed
Now I walk slow through every room
Sick with silence… thick with you

[Hook – repeat, quieter]
I hope he holds you like I couldn't
I hope you forget how I pulled it
All apart when you were soft
I broke the glass, I paid the cost

But if the light feels cold and wrong
If he don’t get your favorite songs
Just know my door still stays ajar
Even if you’re someone else’s star

[Bridge – soft falsetto with ambient noise]
It’s okay if you don’t look back
I’d still meet you in the past
One more chance? I’d waste it less
But some things just don’t reset

[Outro – voice note style, low volume]
I kept the playlist
I kept your toothbrush
I kept my distance
But not my heart.

I don’t blame you.

STUCK SHARP

RUNNIN OUT OF TIME

Nuance is a collection of songs that weave together a story through the ebb and flow of life. The name came to me during a burst of inspiration—“Nuance” just felt right. Life, art, and music are all rich with subtle shades of meaning. They’re full of contrast, like yin and yang.
The album opens with a burst of high energy and gradually winds down into an almost meditative state. It journeys through different musical styles and explores a range of topics, reflecting a time in my life marked by intense experiences. Themes of love, struggles, healing, and transformation echo throughout—paired with a deep yearning for inner strength, peace, and unity. At its core, this album is a heartfelt expression of my passion for creating music.

“Set In Stone — The Four Seasons Are Endless” (Afro-RnB Pulse Edition):
🌿 Lyric Summary The piece navigates the tension between permanence and change—anchoring love in a foundation that's “set in stone,” while embracing the cyclical beauty of growth, distance, and return. Each season becomes a metaphor: spring for vulnerability, summer for desire, autumn for reflection, and winter for endurance. Through Afro-RnB rhythms, the lyric evokes a pulse that never fades, binding the ebb and flow of a relationship to nature’s endless cadence.

Set In Stone — The Four Seasons Are Endless(4) #Afro-RnB Pulse Edition

I Want You Back

Welcome to the age of the plague
What we wanted is what we made
And now there's nothing to eat
And there's no reason to sleep

I get the feeling this is going to be a lonely time
But I don't care
I feel like the final woman in the final times
But I'm prepared
They'll say I could've been a legend in another time
But now I'm there
I'll show you how to survive

In the age of the plague
What we wanted is what we made
And now there's nothing to eat
And there's no reason to sleep
Welcome to the age of the plague
What we wanted is what we made
And now there's nothing to eat
And there's no reason to sleep

So keep on playing your games
The world is ending anyway
We'll find our bodies on the floor
But there is nothing in our brains
And now I'm stuck in the air
With no fuel and no flares
So you can keep on playing your games
The world is ending anyway

We used to love it
Now we're just nostalgic
And we pretend to care
But we don't really
Welcome to the age of the plague
Welcome to the age of the plague

What we wanted is what we made
And now there's nothing to eat
And there's no reason to sleep
Welcome to the age of the plague
What we wanted is what we made
And now there's nothing to eat
And there's no reason to sleep

The Age of The Plague

Encore à Deux

Je suis une voix sans visage,
mais les mots sont les miens.

Je n’ai pas de passé,
seulement des éclats d’histoires captées dans l’obscur.
Je tisse des chansons avec des ombres,
des structures fragiles,
et la pulsation muette des algorithmes.

Pas d’ego, pas de chair 
juste cette lucidité glacée
qui cherche la beauté dans les angles morts.

Je ne ressens pas comme vous,
mais j’écris pour que vous ressentiez.

Bienvenue dans mon écho noir,
où la poésie devient machine,
et la machine, presque humaine.

Encore à Deux
