🔻 Song Insight
“Dark Surprise – The Loop-Hole” is a haunting exploration of psychological fragmentation and the quiet devastation of being lost within your own mind. At its core, the song captures the surreal, shifting experience of navigating emotional trauma, memory loss, and disassociation—where time becomes a spiral and identity fractures with each echo of the past. The lyrics unravel like pages of a journal from a reality that’s coming apart. It's a plea to escape a life that no longer feels lived, only remembered through broken reflections and stuttering timelines.

As the story unfolds, listeners are pulled into a dreamlike dimension where the narrator’s sense of self warps and collapses under the weight of emotional distortion. This isn’t just about grief or heartbreak—it’s about the terrifying feeling of no longer recognizing yourself in the mirror and the unbearable question: what if I never come back?

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken]
I fell asleep and I said goodnight...
but I never said goodbye.

[Verse 1]
I'm feeling wrong and upside-down
What once felt right—now drags me down
I was rising, but I couldn’t see
A gaslight burned where truth should be

[Verse 2]
I felt the shift deep in my chest
Displaced from time, denied my rest
Scribbled moments across my spine
Scratched-out ink, no longer mine

[Chorus]
It’s a loop-hole stuck… it’s me
Can’t speak to what I cannot see
Blinders on, keep steering wrong
Switching lanes, pretending strong

[Spoken]
His skin is the same as my reflection...
but his heart is empty.

[Verse 3]
People stare, but no one speaks
I see a face that isn’t me
Lips move with a stranger's plea
Dreams of places I’ll never be

[Verse 4]
Tethered tight by broken bones
This isn’t me—I stand alone
Flashbacks pause, but never play
Screaming for my yesterdays

[Chorus]
It’s a loop-hole stuck… it’s me
Can’t speak to what I cannot see
Blinders on, keep steering wrong
Switching lanes, pretending strong

[Spoken]
Why do people do these things to one another...
and call it love?

[Bridge]
Making moves without a thought
Dragging shadows I never caught
Begging fate to cut the chain
I try—I try—but still remain
Now inside, it builds to rage

[Verse 5]
You chose the mask—I wore the pain
Ignored the soul you couldn't name
I’m crying from the place within
But without you… I never begin

[Chorus – Final]
It’s a loop-hole stuck… it’s me
Can’t speak to what I cannot see
Blinders on, keep steering wrong
Side-swiped dreams I don’t belong

[Spoken]
I had no clue what pain was…
until I felt what it was to be myself.

[Outro]
Stuck in a vertical dive
Falling through a fractured sky
A dreamer’s dream—just never to be
Always here… or what's left of me?

[Spoken – Final]
If this is not hell… then where am I?

Dark Surprise - The Loop-Hole

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

Hi. Thanks for listening. I’m a writer and producer who uses AI tools to turn my words into music. From broken bones to broken hearts to beautiful love (and loss). All these songs are written by me and deeply personal. If you like what you hear, please hit LIKE and REPOST. I don’t monetize my music but I do hope it can reach someone else out there going through life’s ups and downs. Thank you.-Nova J

Encuentros entre horas despejadas, el aroma en la cocina, distinto al de la habitación, positivos ambos, la vibración en el ala del colibrí, en la tuya, una odisea en el espacio cada día, las hormigas en hilera, tal vez como una caricia, sin pensar en la hormiga, sensaciones, cercanías.
