🎧 Song Insight
“No Longer My World – COTC” is a slow collapse turned self-rescue. It captures the numbing silence that follows emotional destruction, where you’re no longer begging to be saved—you’re just looking for a reason not to sink. The song drifts between memory and detachment, with haunting verses that build into a chorus of quiet desperation. Every line pulls like a riptide toward final acceptance: this world is no longer yours... and you are no longer theirs.

📝 Lyrics
[Intro]
I've been swallowed underneath,
Grasping for something broken.
Something inside of me.

I've been swallowed underneath,
Grasping for something broken.
Something, inside of me.

[Chorus]
Waiting for any call to rescue me.
Down I fall, away I hide.
Tucked inside my escape,
But even safety fades away.

[Verse 1]
Reflections... just words in a song.
Beneath their looks it's emptiness,
An iron cage that fits.

[Verse 2]
Desperation stares back at empty walls.
Tears that once fell now refuse to fall at all.
In my mind is where you live—
The way you were to me.
Dreams I held crumble and fall,
No longer a fantasy.

[Chorus]
Waiting for any call to rescue me.
Down I fall, away I hide.
Tucked inside my escape,
But even safety fades away.

[Verse 3]
Looking away, navigating to the shores of truth.
This is me—the one you loved,
The one you washed away.
No longer I’m yours.

[Bridge]
This is my ending without you.
No plans to care, no reason to stay.
I tear away from this broken life you made—

[Chorus (Variation)]
Waiting for any call to rescue me.
Down I fall... fall away, I hide.
Tucked inside my escape,
But even safety fades away.

[Outro (Refrain)]
I've been swallowed underneath,
Grasping for something broken.
Something that was never me.
I have to find myself a way to break free.

🎤 Personal Reflection
This track didn’t come from heartbreak... it came from after. From the nothing. From the silent rooms and echoing thoughts. It’s not about them anymore—it’s about the residue. What’s left behind after love, after pain, after losing your world and realizing maybe it was never really yours to begin with. This is part of COTC because I’m not carrying this silence into the next chapter.

🎶 4Me2BeFree
Part of the COTC series (Cleaning Out the Closet)—a collection of tracks not about closure, but release. These aren’t love songs. They’re exit wounds—songs that needed to bleed out before I could begin again.

“Unbroken Bond” ✍️ is about me and when I found out about my adoption and now wanting to reach out to biological family. But I don’t want to offend my mum and dad. It’s something I think about quite a lot! I’m curious to find out more about my birth roots. It’s only natural to want to meet them one day.  I was thirteen years old when my parents told me I was adopted and I was shocked at first but I think I always knew something wasn’t quite right. I have a lot of gratitude for my adopted family and they will always be my parents regardless if I reach out to my biological family. So this a reassurance and longing story about my adoption. It’s not something I usually say in person and tell people but this song can to my head and I just had to make it. My birth parents made a huge sacrifice but it have my wings for my flight and my love is unbroken even if we have never met.  My mum and dad brought me up and gave me an amazing life, I Couldn’t be more appreciative!  😢 🥰 ❤️

That crystal clear panic when shit hits the fan

[INTRO]
Yo!
Burning planet, black smoke rising
Walking dead, zombie apocalypse
Super intelligence, world is dying
Army of lemmings, march off a cliff

Orgy of indifference, cold and depraved
Turning away from the horror show

Whispers pretending not to know

Corporate vultures circling ‘round
Looming APØCALARITY
Hiding the sun behind black clouds

LOVE CALL

🔻 Song Insight
“Your Cake” dives headfirst into the chaos of self-sabotage and desire — that burning edge between wanting love and rejecting it. It’s not a love song; it’s a confession disguised as confrontation.
 The lyrics move like static through a broken wire — raw, pulsing, and emotionally spent. This is the sound of someone who’s done pretending to be fixed. The title isn’t about indulgence, it’s about contradiction — craving connection while knowing it will destroy the illusion of control. The tone is defiant, the mood volatile. “Your Cake” captures that moment you realize the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t keep without losing yourself.

🔻 Lyrics
Fade In:
 Intro:
 Instrumental:
Verse 1:
 Nah– Baby, I saw you too
 Keep you guessing — that’s what I do
 It’s just truth I can’t ignore
 Words burning — chaos adored
Pre-Bridge:
 You can’t fix me, I’m not a toy
 You can’t break me, no longer your boy
 You say I’m perfect — you must be blind
 It’s lip service baby, I ain’t got time
Bridge:
 Maybe I want life that doesn't suck
 Maybe it’s a broken mind that’s stuck
 All my reasons spun-up
 Truth gets lost before we fuck
Chorus – Hook:
 I want my cake and eat you too
 But it’s all this bullshit I go through
 I want it all, yeah, I want it all
 But here’s the truth— it can’t be you
Verse 2:
 You tell me talk, but I don’t care
 I’m drowning– it’s just my fear
 Tell me to walk, my legs won’t work
 I spoke the truth, but wanted proof
Pre-Bridge:
 All these words wrap around
 It’s my tongue that's going down
 I’m a wasted taste for now
 But it’s your cake I partake
Bridge:
 Every word’s a lie, I’ll never die
 It’s lines carved in my mind
 Words wrap each thing I said
 Still running from what’s left behind
Chorus – Hook:
 I want my cake and eat you too
 But it’s all this bullshit I go through
 I want it all, yeah, I want it all
 But here’s the truth— it can’t be you
Verse 3:
 When pain is gone,
 I’ll write a song
 Till then, I’m strung along
 Trying to find where I belong
Pre-Bridge:
 What I want won't exist
 Wishing this stale cake away
 Shut down love before I’m sick
 It’s empty hope that strays
Bridge:
 What I chase can’t be
 You’re not what I see
 When this fails, I’m not gonna hide
 I’ll watch this fade in trails
Chorus – Hook / Outro:
 I want my cake and eat you too
 But it’s all this bullshit I go through
 I want it all, yeah, I want it all
 But here’s the truth— it can’t be you
 Fade Out:
 it can’t be you
 it can’t be you
 it can’t be you

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song came from the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t end with tears — it ends with silence and realization. “Your Cake” isn’t about revenge or regret; it’s about truth in motion. That uncomfortable space where you’re finally honest about your flaws and the damage you bring to the table. Writing it was like looking in the mirror and realizing I was both the poison and the cure. It’s messy, human, and real — the emotional hangover that comes after wanting everything but knowing you can’t have it all.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
For 4Me2BeFree, this track is another chapter in the cinematic evolution of emotional storytelling — the rebellion of feeling too much. The project thrives on contradictions: beauty and decay, love and chaos, truth and denial. “Your Cake” lives in that tension — it’s the sound of modern self-awareness sung through a cracked lens. Every beat, every lyric, every pause bleeds authenticity. It’s not about perfection — it’s about freedom through honesty, and the courage to admit you’re still learning how to love.

Your Cake

🔻 Song Insight

“Breaking What We Had Made – Remix” is a soaring arena-rock power ballad that captures the wreckage of love turned into fire and echo. It’s a song about what happens when devotion turns self-destructive — when protecting someone becomes the very reason they leave. The remix amplifies the heartbreak with thunderous drums, a searing lead solo, and vocals that walk the line between confession and defiance. Every word feels like a flash of lightning in a collapsing sky, making this track both cathartic and devastating.

🔻 Lyrics

Verse 1:  
Hearing you scream,
I ran to protect you,
But now it's just your excuse to leave.

Chorus: 
Breaking what we had,
Watching you fall,
Waking from a dream,
Jerked back, I’d see it all.

Verse 2:
You chose to run, hide from the pain,
Chasing shadows, but it's all in vain.

Chorus:
Breaking what we had,
Watching you fall,
Waking from a dream,
Jerked back, see it all.

Instrumental – Lead Guitar Solo:
Lead guitar takes center stage-

Bridge:
The echoes of your cries still haunt my mind,
The love we shared, now left behind.
You were stronger than you knew,
But the lies consumed you.

Instrumental – Drum Solo:
Explosive live energy and arena rhythm break:

Final Chorus:
Breaking what we had,
Watching you fall,
Waking from a dream,
Jerked back, see it all.


Outro 
Seeing you loud, hearing you scream,
I tried to protect you,
But it was all a dream.

Breaking what we had,
Watching you fall,
Waking from a dream,

Waking from a dream,
Watching you fall,
Watching you fall,
fall.

🔻 Personal Reflection

There’s a point in every heartbreak where memory feels louder than the moment. “Breaking What We Had Made – Remix” was born from that noise — the place where love turns into feedback. I wanted to capture what it feels like when you’ve done everything to hold something together, only to watch it shatter in your hands. The remix gave me the space to scream the quiet parts, to let every guitar solo feel like grief made electric. This one hurts, but in the best way — it’s freedom through fire.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

At its core, 4Me2BeFree transforms lived emotion into cinematic sound. Every track is a chapter of survival — a reminder that chaos and beauty often share the same stage. “Breaking What We Had Made – Remix” embodies the project’s vision: to turn heartbreak into performance, pain into presence, and vulnerability into volume. It’s not just rock; it’s resilience turned up to ten.

Breaking What We Had Made - Remix

"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.
