Туманность Андромеды

This was once a guilty pleasure on my hard drive but I don't feel guilty anymore~

Lyrics:

Big machines that gather our food
Bots that try to tell when we’re rude
Is this really the plan that we made
Razing the ground that we simulate

You make me want to shut it down, oh

Selling the worthless to much greater fools
Normalization of surveillance tools
Give it a price and now it has worth
Oh what a sociopath we have birthed

(You make me want to shut it down
oh, oh, o-o-o-oh—ooh)

You make me want to shut it down, oh
Oh, you make me want to shut it down
Oh-ooh
You make me want to shut it down (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and start anew (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and make something better
You make me want to shut it down (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and yes I will (I don’t think this should exist, no)
help it grow
oh-oh

Shut It Down

Shut It Down (NewRetroWave Records, 2022)

Dreamy. Psychedelic. Soulful. It's the kind of music that washes over you like a warm tide, pulling you into a hazy, sun-drenched daze. This is indie-pop with a cosmic twist, blending shimmering synths and reverb-soaked guitars with a smooth, soulful groove. It’s perfect for late-night drives, lazy Sunday afternoons, or anytime you want to get lost in a soundscape that's both melancholic and uplifting.

Spotify

Boys Don’t Cry

A raw and honest journey through anxiety, self-reflection and self healing. This track moves from sleepless nights and inner battles to finding strength in vulnerability and growth. It’s about breathing through the fear, letting go of the fight with yourself, and learning to live with self-acceptance.

For anyone who’s ever felt the weight of their own thoughts but still found a way forward—this one’s for you.

Empathy Test Losing Touch Lyrics

Scared of losing touch 
If I really mean that much 
Why pretend that you love him?

Don't call me out the blue 
When it's clear that I still do 
And you know he knows it too. 

Going home alone 
The only love I've known 
It's always been you. 

It's always been you.

Tell me it's not real 
Tell me he doesn't make you feel 
The way I made you feel. 

If you care for me at all 
You'll hang up when I call 
You'll clear me the space to fall.

If you give I will receive 
And despite what they believe 
It's always been you. 

It's always been you. 

It's always been you.

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know 

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know 

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know 

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know
It's always been you.

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know
It's always been you.

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know
It's always been you.

When you're feeling alone 
And you're colder than stone 
Call me you know
It's always been you.
