    This alternate take sounds like a mood carved in chrome and echo. A slow burn of clarity.
    That’s Bizzare has baked cinematic gravity into the silence —

    Haven’t even heard it — and already, the myth is loud enough.

Button Dreams: Dead End Roads // dreamt in Peiretti's Lo-Fi Vol 1 fragments

/
/ lyrics: fictionalive
/ music: Lo-Fi Vol 1 by Tomas Peiretti (@tgpeiretti), excerpt

/ cover art: fictionalive DIY, it's a menu in a restaurant

"Why the dream of just pressing a button to fulfill your dreams is a dead end road"

Ready to engage? Here comes your Enigma salvo—narrative perfection flow, narrator mode, pure spirit, hard truths, and poetic punch:

You want the shortcut—one press, no sweat, dreams delivered like takeout at your door.
But hear this, fam: that button? It sells hope like a sweet, but inside it’s empty calories—leaves your spirit starved, ambition robbed blind.

See, every promo screams: “Just click, get rich, get fame, get love, get fixed.”
But real ones know—nothing lasting ever came wrapped in bubble and promise, labelled “easy.”
Press the button, want a palace? But every castle built on buttons is sand,
and the tide of reality? It always comes fast, always crashes harder.

This dream fools you into thinking work is the enemy, the path’s too long, spirit too frail—
whispers you can skip hunger, hustle, heartbreak, the falling and failing,
but that’s the meat and marrow of it all.
Growth gets forged in fire, not flicked on a switch.

You press and wait. Wait for what? Something to happen, though you never bled for it,
never raged, never dug under concrete for a seed of light—
but you want the fruit anyway.
But how sweet is fruit when you never weathered the drought,
never broke a nail, never ran wild chasing it?

Easy buttons breed ghosts—regrets of things never tried, dreams unreal because you never became the one who could hold them.
You wanted the song, but skipped the lesson. You wanted the win, but feared the grind.
Now your dreams are screensaver loops, never lived, never bruised, never real.

Legend says: “Why climb when the lift’s right there?”
But ask any true king, any real queen, any pioneer—they’ll laugh.
Because the summit means nothing if you never felt the mountain’s teeth,
never sweated through fog and doubt, never spilled and stitched your pride.
Buttons kill the story inside you, end the epic before the chorus is even sung.

So we say: smash that button, yeah—
But build with your hands, run till lungs burn, cry in the rain,
fail big, rise harder, love loud, dare wild.
Win not just the prize—but the making, the breaking, the wild ride itself.

Here in the jungle, there are no easy levers—just scars, stories, survival.
The journey, not the button, is where dreams get real,
and only the bold survive to dream again.

Enigma, signing out.
Choose the road, not the switch—
or you’ll wake one day with nothing but dust where your dreams should’ve lived.

Reflection

Reading this title is like glimpsing into a mirror framed by riddles: “Paradox Equilibrium” evokes the eternal dance at the edge of opposites—a state where contradiction is not chaos, but unity. “We Are The Balance, You & I” pulses with the awareness that equilibrium is never a solo act; it is a shared tension, a partnership of souls walking the tightrope between extremes.

The “alternate That’s Bizarre cinematic take” hints at surprise, at the unfamiliar being not an aberration but a new lens—one that can unsettle, reshape, and ultimately deepen the core meaning. The entire phrase resonates like the soundtrack to a cosmic mystery: balance exists only because paradox breathes within it, and our roles—as witnesses, as balancers, as co-creators—are as cinematic as any script. Question every border between contradiction and harmony, to realize that the balance itself may be the strangest and most beautiful paradox of all.

/
lyrics:

// Equilibrium of Chaos
/
The world spins on a razor’s edge,
Night and day entwined in waltz,
Order whispers, chaos shouts,
Both are needed, neither false.
/
Lightning forks the tranquil sky,
Roots hold fast in shifting sand,
We are the balance, you and I—
Paradox cupped in trembling hands.
/
So let us paint with storm and sun,
Let us write with fire and rain,
For in the chaos, we become—
Alive, awake, unchained.//
/
//
The Paradox in Balance: Equilibrium of Chaos
/
The world, at its core, is not a tidy ledger of order and disorder, but a living paradox—a dance of opposites, forever teetering on the edge. We crave stability, yet find ourselves drawn to the unpredictable. We build systems, only to watch them unravel. In this, the world reveals its true nature: an equilibrium of chaos.
/
Paradox is not a flaw; it is the engine.
Order and chaos are not enemies, but partners in creation. The tides rise and fall, the seasons turn, civilizations bloom and decay. Every heartbeat is a negotiation between rhythm and randomness. Art, too, is born in this tension: the painter’s brush moves with intention, but the paint splatters unpredictably; the poet chooses each word, but meaning slips and shifts.
/
To live is to balance on the wire of contradiction.
Embrace the paradox, and you find freedom. Deny it, and you drift into delusion. The true artist, the true thinker, does not flee from chaos—they harness it, shaping it into something new. The world is not broken; it is alive with possibility, always remaking itself at the edge of chaos. /
/
Equilibrium of Chaos/ lyrics part two:

HUMANOIDS! THE BALANCE IS THE BATTLE
You, who fear the storm—remember:
The calm is only meaningful because of the chaos that surrounds it.
Do not seek only order!
Order alone is stagnation, a pond gone foul.
Chaos alone is destruction, a fire without end.
But together—together!—they are the pulse of the universe.
The world is a paradox in balance.
You are not lost in the storm.
You are the tightrope walker, arms outstretched,
dancing above the abyss.
Embrace the equilibrium of chaos.
Let it fuel your art, your life, your revolution.
The world is not meant to be tamed—it is meant to be ridden,
like a wild wave beneath a burning sky.
//

Paradox Equilibrium — We Are The Balance, You & I // alternate That's Bizzare cinematic take

Everyone’s a victim of some shit these days
Lost in their addiction or latest malaise
Or some new craze I’m amazed our days ain’t hazier than this
It seems to me our dreams are broken
Tragic scenes ain’t left unspoken
They’re cracked open in the hoping
other folk can find the bliss
How has it come to this 
But when that like lights on 
It doesn’t feel so wrong 
So I guess I’m gonna have to join the wrong song club
And spill my guts
But that’s the way we’re programmed 
Put the shit aside I’m guessing no man really can decide if it’s really wrong or right any time of day or any time of night

Join the club

Well  I’m confused about the modern world, am I hero or villain?
Will the things my daddy taught me leave me in a cell just chilling
Well I’m willing to accept the change as long as daddy gets the blame
Cos I don’t even like the name he gave me
Now I don’t deal with stress that well
It should be daddy in this cell
And if he really loved me then he’d save me
I think that’s the size of this modern life , it’s never at my door
And I feign surprise at all the new lies I swear he’s heard before
Daddy tell em , tell em quick , tell em where you heard that shit
Before they nail my nutsacks to the floor
And I’m only 44
Could you please tell em for me that it’s been your reflected glory that I’ve been far too busy basking in
And from your hearts repository maybe rewrite my history
Tell em how much mummy loved her gin
So come on daddy step up and take the blame 
Don’t it break your heart to see me crying again

Elegant People Lament

A song about using my defense mechanism of humor to avoid conflict and achieve romance. Dedicated to class clowns everywhere.
Sorry I've been off SC lately, I've been taking care of a few things.

Lyrics:
I was just having a drink
In a bar on the rough side of town
Yeah, minding my own business
And these tough guys come up to me
They say: "Hey, we're tough guys."
"we don't like you drinking sparkling Chablis,"

Well, I had a real good read on the situation
I've got the gift of gab (talk) from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I said: Gentlemen, may  I suggest a truce?
Let me be the peacemaker and buy you a bottle of booze
Then I got loose
I left them with a bill
For a three hundred dollar
Bottle of Chartruse

Oh, I listened to what my Mama say
You're gonna have to fight those boys someday
But if you use your brain
Then you'll find another way
Fight back, hit em in the funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

I was a young undergrad
A full-time miscreant
A part-time handsome man
I needed to get the attention of the ladies
But I wasn't that good-looking
But I knew what I had

I had a good read on the situation
I have the gift of gab from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I listened to what my Mama say
If those girls don't give you the time of day
You're gonna have to use your brain
Then you'll find another way 
Step back, appeal to her funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

Funny Bone

Why the AI Race - The Final Act: What's Left For Us To Dream // a That's Bizzare Take

Stream / Download / Vinyl / CD: https://HospitalRecords.lnk.to/LIFETHRILLSso

Metrik’s highly anticipated second album ‘LIFE/THRILLS’ released on Hospital Records is an exhilarating and flawlessly executed evolution of his signature sound. Under the banner of drum & bass it draws on his love for film soundtracks, synthwave, neo-soul and the Japanese pop sub-genre, Shibuya-kei and includes collaborations with Elisabeth Troy, NAMGAWD, Roméo Testa, Ragga Twins, Rothwell and Reija Lee.

‘Electric Echo’, a collaboration with Fightstar’s Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway’s synthwave side project Gunship, encapsulates the ethos of the album merging the unfamiliar with D&B sensibilities to create a fresh and exciting new sound. We also welcome the return of Elisabeth Troy in 'Chasing Sunrise' and Reija Lee in 'Cadence' making for two powerful vocal highlights on the record. For those of a purist nature, fear not; Metrik’s sophomore album is one hundred percent drum & bass and he hasn’t forgotten about the dancefloor. Bangers like 'Western Jam', 'Fatso' and 'Destination Earth' make up a serious proportion of the album’s generous fifteen tracks and reinforce his status as one of the heaviest producers on the block.

Over the past year Metrik has travelled the world representing drum & bass at major festivals of all denominations; from Glastonbury and Global Gathering to Outlook and EDC Las Vegas. All the while crafting remixes for the likes of DJ Fresh, Ellie Goulding, Gorgon City and Martin Garrix, and collaborating with fellow D&B superstars TC and Netsky. Fans of his UK Dance Chart Top 20 debut 'Universal Language' will find plenty to love here however its Metrik’s devotion to creating a fresh and thrilling strain of drum & bass that stands to bring in a new audience and earmark 'LIFE/THRILLS' for instant classic status.
