Everything Everywhere

“The Ruse of Booze” is a raw, unflinching ballad about addiction’s grip and the battle to reclaim the self. Through gritty imagery and soul-baring lines, it paints the bottle as a sly salesman, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and a devil at the door — seducing and destroying in equal measure. With each verse, the narrator wrestles with guilt, memory, and fleeting moments of clarity, only to be dragged back into the cycle. Dark, bluesy, and haunting, this song is a confession, a lament, and a fight for redemption.

Booze Blues

Don't Need It

Sunlight cuts through the blinds
Like a blade I didn’t see coming
My head’s a church of broken bells
And every echo feels like running
I drank from the cup of “almost”
Slept in the arms of “might’ve been”
Woke up with ghosts in my pockets
And a voice I buried deep within
They said life was a ladder
But I found more rungs made of glass
Every step a question
Every fall a photograph
Hungover from the years
From the fights, from the cheers
From the love that didn’t stay
From the words I didn’t say
Hungover from the truth
From the youth, from the proof
That I lived, that I bled
That I danced with what I fled
I kissed dreams that tasted bitter
Held hands with borrowed time
Told myself I’d be better
But better’s just a state of mind
I’ve seen beauty in the breakdown
Heard lullabies in screams
And every scar I carry
Still sings in my dreams
You don’t get clean without the mess
You don’t find peace without unrest
You don’t grow wings without the fall
You don’t hear truth without the wall
Hungover from the years
From the fights, from the cheers
From the love that didn’t stay
From the words I didn’t say
Hungover from the truth
From the youth, from the proof
That I lived, that I bled
That I danced with what I fled
No words—just breath, ....strings, and memory.

D!-ProJect  - Blow my Mind


No one wants to hear it straight 
But life's a brawler, and now I'm late 
When I'm bruised 
when you're bent It's got us feeling like pocket lint

Stars are dropping out of the sky 
Midnight is screaming, feeling pretty spry 
Scraping by with no defense at all 
Pulling scabs off these scars to break the fall

I'm done with all the fucking games 
Done with chasing echoes, faces and names 
and fighting for a spark that's long dead
 God bless this ringing in my head

My heart burns like a cigarette
 Leaving trails that smell like regret 
Ashes fly all up in my eyes 
Shit makes me want to cry

Crossed up wires and missing screens
 Trying to make sense of the dreams
 Communication lost in the night 
Screaming for some light

I'm done with all the fucking games
 Done with chasing echoes, faces and names 
and fighting for a spark that's long dead
 God bless all this ringing in my head

i'm done

I Would Walk That Line Again

Laugh and shout, feel the zing,
Grab my hand, let’s twist and swing!

Burn (Bonus Track)

Inspired by The Beatles, 1960s oldies, and the bright charm of bubblegum pop, EchoPop’s sound lives somewhere between nostalgia and the future. Her songs are catchy, emotional, and often playfully self-aware.

If EchoPop were a comic book hero, she would be The Professor of Pop, teaching life lessons through melody and turning heartbreak into hooks.

Her music moves across genres from indie pop to electro to rap, all with one purpose: to make you feel something and maybe laugh a little too.
