my calm in chaos

Silent Vice - Echo Stasis

lyrics:

You can hear my cries but you gave up yeah
I don't want to die but you make my life tough
And bring me to my worst
Why do I bother
When you told me that you need a hug
Yeah you're pulling me in close
Turning my bones to dust
Heart in your hand and you just crush
This time I'm honest
You can hear my cries but you gave up yeah
I don't want to die but you make my life tough
And bring me to my worst
Why do I bother
When you told me that you need a hug
Yeah you're pulling me in close
Turning my bones to dust
Heart in your hand and you just crush
This time I'm honest

Yeah
I can't seem to ever get away
Uh
Stick around show me who a fake
Yeah
Chewing through your lies like a steak
Uh
Bloody like a toothache
Yeah
I hope I'm not just someone in your way
Uh
Addicted to your body and your face
I
Don't want to get rid of your remains
If you hate me then say that
Screaming out in my ear but I don't hear shit
Paint her picture perfect so don't act deaf
Don't go acting deaf

You can hear my cries but you gave up yeah
I don't want to die but you make my life tough
And bring me to my worst
Why do I bother
When you told me that you need a hug
Yeah you're pulling me in close
Turning my bones to dust
Heart in your hand and you just crush
This time I'm honest
You can hear my cries but you gave up yeah
I don't want to die but you make my life tough
And bring me to my worst
Why do I bother
When you told me that you need a hug
Yeah you're pulling me in close
Turning my bones to dust
Heart in your hand and you just crush
This time I'm honest

You just crush
Heart in your hand and you just crush
Yeah you crush
Don't go acting deaf

crush

fight for better

This one came from diving deep into the real history of places like Trans-Allegheny, Danvers State Hospital, and Willowbrook. These weren't just hospitals - they were human warehouses where society dumped anyone deemed "unfit," then subjected them to barbaric treatments in the name of medicine.

The song opens with that Gothic architecture imagery because these places were built to look imposing and fortress-like - designed to keep people in and the world out. "They called it treatment, called it care / While demons danced in every stair" captures how these institutions hid torture behind medical terminology.

What really gets me is how they turned healing into horror - electroshock without anesthesia, ice baths, lobotomies performed with ice picks. "Lobotomies with rusty tools / Turning humans into fools" - that's not metaphor, that actually happened to thousands of people who just needed help.

The "halls of madness" concept works because these buildings literally absorbed decades of suffering. When you read about people visiting these abandoned places, they all report the same thing - an overwhelming sense of dread, like the walls themselves remember the pain.

Musically, this is Gothic metal at 130 BPM in A minor - that perfect key for institutional horror themes. The track operates on multiple rhythmic layers with a crushing 65 BPM doom foundation, 130 BPM driving energy, and aggressive tremolo bursts. That dominant 110 Hz frequency gives it genuine cathedral-like resonance, making the 'halls' feel massive and oppressive. It's Gothic metal in the truest sense - not just heavy, but architecturally heavy, like the buildings themselves are singing.

The song follows classic metal structure with clear verse-chorus cycles, energy spikes and dips that mirror the emotional journey, and a central guitar solo that lets the Gothic horror atmosphere really breathe before building to that crushing finale.

This appeals to fans of Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, Tristania, and Moonspell - listeners drawn to heavy but atmospheric metal that balances aggression with gothic elegance. It's for people who want music that doesn't just pummel you, but creates a mood and tells a story.

With AI helping me create that Gothic horror sound, it perfectly matched the anger I was feeling about these buried crimes. This song's about remembering the victims and making sure we never forget what happens when society decides some people are disposable.

A darkened march through towering corridors of sound — heavy riffs and cathedral shadows intertwine, carrying the listener through the relentless yet hypnotic Halls of Madness.

Halls of Madness

Nowhere to belong

Angel

[Verse]
Pretty neat if you ask me
Sharp as the edge of a glass sea
Colors pop like a wild spree
Lights flash
Bounce off the marquee

[Chorus]
Pretty neat
As neat as can be
Like a comet cutting through the galaxy
Pretty neat
Yeah
Can't you see
It's a spark in the dark
A fire running free

[Verse 2]
Neon signs hum in the night
Street's alive
It feels just right
Every shadow's got its own bright fight
It's a wild rhythm
Hold on tight

[Chorus]
Pretty neat
As neat as can be
Like a dream stitched into reality
Pretty neat
Yeah
Can't you see
It's the beat in your feet
The pulse in the spree

[Bridge]
Catch the wind
Let it spin
Spin
Spin
Every end’s just where you begin
It's a whirl
It's a blur
It's a grin
So neat
So sweet
Pull me in

[Chorus]
Pretty neat
As neat as can be
Like a rocket chasing infinity
Pretty neat
Yeah
Can't you see
It's a spark in the dark
A fire running free

Pretty Neat

🎵 Nowhere to Go
by The Mainside Project

Shadows on the ceiling, I can’t escape
Every step I’m taking feels like a mistake
Running through the alleys of my own mind
Chasing down a future I can’t find

I’m screaming out, but no one hears
Drowning deeper in my fears

Nowhere to go, I’m stuck in the fire
Burning my hands on the edge of desire
Nowhere to run, I’m lost in the night
Caught in the silence, too tired to fight

Broken glass reflections in my veins
Every move I make just ends the same
City lights are flickering, they fade away
Leaving me a ghost in yesterday

I’m screaming out, but no one stays
Locked inside this endless maze

Nowhere to go, I’m stuck in the fire
Burning my hands on the edge of desire
Nowhere to run, I’m lost in the night
Caught in the silence, too tired to fight

I am alone , but still aware
I don’t care if no one’s there
Ashes fall, I’ll still remain
Singing loud against the pain

Nowhere to go, but I’ll make it through
Turning the dark into something new
Nowhere to run, but I’ll find the light
Out of the silence, I will ignite

Nowhere to go…
Nowhere to go…
But I’m still alive

Nowhere To Go

Weight of the Fire

The song’s central message is a call to embrace the present moment as the only true opportunity for action and meaning. It rejects the notion of waiting for a promised tomorrow, which is unreliable ("No tomorrow’s promise, today’s the flame"), and urges the listener to act decisively in the present to shape their life. The "fire" of the moment represents the power and potential of now, encouraging a proactive, fearless approach to living despite the inevitability of time’s passage and life’s uncertainties.

No Tomorrow’s Promise

[Verse]
Leave it to me
To lose control
Trying to float
Keep my soul whole

[Verse 2]
Hoping not to hang
From a rope tight
Every day's a fight
I cling to the light

[Chorus]
Just keepin' on
One step at a time
Singin' my song
Liftin' my mind

[Verse 3]
Constant reminder
Of what I've lost
Broken yet kinder
Payin' the cost

[Chorus]
Just keepin' on
One step at a time
Singin' my song
Liftin' my mind

[Bridge]
Alone with my thoughts
But not for long
Gotta find strength
Make myself strong
