A song about what I see happening in the world. Beat by Chuki Hip Hop BE

Lyrics:
Yesterday, I walked out of my house.
First time since the flowers came round, 
Got caught and talked to a friend who invited me out,
Just made my excuses and bounced.

I never seem to manage much in terms of socializing 
Just run and hide and wish to die, can't cry, it's no surprise that when I'm 
Stuck at home alone again, can't bring myself to find a friend,
Who hates the sky as much as I, and doesn't want a life.

Today, I stopped to talk to a kid,
He kicked his ball near me while I smoked a cigarette,
Gazed up at me and cocked his head and all I saw in him:
Was skin and bones and blood and guts and a future oh so dim.

A world stuck, glorifying violence, bitterness and hate, 
A girl drugged, torn inside, every cop say seduced, but raped,
A boy gunned, tried to hide, shot and died and tossed away,
I mean, what am I supposed to say?

In the mirror, eyes staring back, black.
Trying not to justify a trip to buy another pack,
But the fact, tonight I know that I will,
Just toss it on the tab of the future we killed.

My mind is broke, the sun is gone,
Knowing that we might not be here long, 
I know the world might not hear my song,
But I pray to God he'll help me right the wrong. 

Tonight, I sit in bed and sigh,
The news says "hundreds more civilians die,"
And no relief is coming, because there's no more money,
The refugees stay grounded as the private jets stay high.

And people round the world scared of people they don't know,
Because they have some different skin and wear some different clothes,
And fear just breeds the hate that makes it easier to segregate,
And treat the other like the lesser, just cause you think you is better.

Media feeds the flames, some politicians worse,
Say "some Mexican will rape you,
Some black will snatch your purse."
They feed the fear, 
Direct in your ear,
To keep the power in the tower,
Make the unempowered cower.

But have you ever sat down, and spoken with a Muslim? 
And talked about the fight that's fought, in someone else's country? 
You can scoff and bite your lip,
But let me tell you this,
Blood runs red no matter who's throat gets slit.

In the mirror, eyes staring back, black.
Trying not to justify a trip to buy another pack,
But the fact, tonight I know that I will,
Just toss it on the tab of the future we killed.

My mind is broke, the sun is gone,
Knowing that we may not be here long,
I hope the world might just hear my song, 
And pray to God he'll help me right the wrong. 

My mind is broke, the sun is gone,
Knowing that we may not be here long,
I know the whole world feels my song, 
And I pray that you will help me right the wrong.

Right the Wrong

Right The Wrong

I guess I make chillwave now.

Tabula (demo)

From my third post-metal album, Vignettes, available now at ethankotel.bandcamp.com.

A dynamic, ambient, and spacious mix, while maintaining the ferocity expected of modern post metal. Recorded and mixed by me in my living room, mastered by Brad Smalling at Evergroove Studio.

Vignettes

The Council Ring

This is the theme for Clocktown, from Majora's Mask, done a little differently. Ive been experimenting with multi tracking recently, this is a display of those experiments.

Another quick little tune, this is the theme from the Fairy Fountain, heard in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Windwaker, and others in the series.
