🎧 "4 Feet Away" – by 4Me2BeFree
🔻 Song Insight
“4 Feet Away” is a cinematic confrontation set to music—a raw conversation captured in verse, as suspicion turns into confirmation and silence becomes a scream. The track unravels a relationship cloaked in deception, where every excuse is met with truth, and every denial sounds more like an admission.

Built around the literal idea of proximity—someone being “4 feet away” on an 

Layered with tension, the back-and-forth between Voice 1 and Voice 2 mimics real conversations in toxic relationships—the deflection, the gaslighting, the desperate justifications. But in the end, Voice 1 walks away not just with clarity, but with the last word.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro],[Voice 1]
Another phone down. What can I say?
Same damn story, just a new throwaway.
You say it ain’t my business? Cool, take the ring.
If you can’t read the signs, he’s doing his thing. Guaranteed.

[Verse 1],[Voice 1]
I wasn’t born yesterday—nah, I just played blind.
This was my mistake, one more waste of time.
I should’ve never said yes, no matter the cost,
Just a moment of weakness, now I’m the one lost.
When men cheat, we serve time, like we did the crime.
But they walk away clean, still lying line by line.

[Pre-Chorus],[Voice 1]
Cash can’t cover what love won’t protect,
You buy their silence, then fake the respect.

[Chorus],[Voice 1]
Another phone down, another lie hits the ground.
Four feet away, and your “game” got found.
[Voice 2]
"Oh babe, it’s not what it seems"
[Voice 1]
Yeah, right. You forgot the room key?
I see through the night.
Another phone down, another truth set free.
This time the lie ain’t breaking me.

[Verse 2],[Voice 2]
"That sound? It’s a game."
[Voice 1]
Nah, it’s Jack on the map.
[Voice 2]
"No babe, I don’t have that app."
[Voice 1]
Then why does it ping, why’s he four feet away?
And now you pretending you forgot what to say?
[Voice 2]
"He’s just a friend,"
[Voice 1]
Cool—Joe now, huh?
Changing names like shirts, just to keep it made-up.
Your face says sorry, but your phone says more.
This ain’t love—it’s a goddamn store.

[Verse 3],[Voice 1]
You married the scam, thought you were the man,
Buying silence with followers that don’t give a damn.
Candy for rats, it’s attraction to fake,
A mask with a filter, just more heartbreak.

It’s hand over heart, but your hand hits the ground,
I’m losing control, but I’m not backing down.
Say his name in the next room? I’m not okay.
This is me when I lose all control, no delay.

[Bridge],[Voice 2],[Glitchy,Detached-Tone]
"Oh that app? It’s just for fun. I didn’t do that."
[Voice 1]
"It has you thanking him for a nice night."
[Voice 2]
"Oh that? It’s just roleplay, baby."
[Voice 1]
"He said he forgot the key, needs you to open the door."

[Breakdown],[Voice 1],[Spoken,Raw]
If I said it wasn’t true, that’d be a lie.
Just like every damn excuse you tried to hide.
Another phone down, nothing more to prove.
This time I know what the hell to do.

[Final Chorus],[Voice 1]
Another phone down, another lie hits the ground.
Four feet away, and your “game” got found.
[Voice 2]
"Oh babe, it’s not what it seems"
[Voice 1]
Yeah, right. You forgot the room key?
I see through the night.
Another phone down, another truth set free.
This time the lie ain’t breaking me.

[Refrain],[Voice 1]
You can’t buy me
It was a whore you wanted
You called it love
It was a trap

[Outro],[Voice 1]
Oh yeah... leave his ass.
That’s what you do.
'Cause another phone down,
Don’t mean it’s the end of you.



The ring, the dinner, the birthday trip—it was all a cover. A distraction. An attempt to rebrand betrayal as love. But a phone pinged 4 feet away. And that was it. I saw the lie. I heard the truth. I felt everything I had ignored.

I like Juice WRLD and I wanted to give this a shot to see if I could write his style. It's not as good for sure but I had a good time doing it. A flash back to a world I am happy to no longer live in.

🔻 Song Insight – Slippery Grip
In Slippery Grip, 4Me2BeFree dives into the inner storm of emotional manipulation, unraveling the damage left behind by someone who weaponized silence, distortion, and guilt. What begins with chaotic tension builds into eerie repetition, mirroring how psychological control loops itself inside the mind. The song captures the quiet devastation of realizing you've been shaped by someone else's war — and the terrifying strength it takes to step away from it.

With its stripped-down, haunted vocal delivery and a raw, glitch-edged acoustic arrangement, Slippery Grip feels like a childhood dream that turns too real — nostalgic, but unsettling. It’s both a whisper and a scream. A warning and a release.

🔻 Lyrics
Verse 1
Your fucking head games
play whiplash on my brain

Bridge
forcing me to see things
trigger something down inside.....
hating what you have made me.

Chorus
Over your head and through my spine
blood crashing into my mind
You used to be the reason I’d live

Verse 2
It's not my anger that makes you mad
It's the silence you can't keep
slippery grip, you're losing ground

Bridge
Over your head and through my spine
blood crashing into my mind

Chorus
You used to be the reason I would wake
Now to think it's your fucking head games
you play whiplash on my brain, a mistake

Verse 3
forcing me to see things
trigger something down inside
hating what you have made me.

Bridge
Over your head and through my spine
blood crashing into my mind

Chorus
Over your head and through my spine
blood crashing into my mind
You used to be the reason I’d live

Outro
Never had the heart to tell you
Now it's too late

🔻 Artist Reflection
This song came out of a season where I was unraveling years of damage. When you’re in a relationship that twists your sense of self, you start to mistake chaos for love. Slippery Grip is what it sounds like to wake up to that — to feel someone else's grip loosen while you're trying to remember your own strength. There’s a strange pain in letting go… and a strange peace too. This song doesn't resolve everything. It wasn’t meant to. But it finally gave me a voice in a story that was trying to erase me.

🌙 Song Insight: “The Things We Do for Love”
By 4Me2BeFree

A soft, acoustic indie-pop song wrapped in tenderness and gentle hope. “The Things We Do for Love” isn't about falling head over heels—it's about the slow build, the trust earned, and the subtle, meaningful acts that show care without demand. It captures the quiet courage of opening up again, brick by brick, with someone who sees you fully. Soft guitars, underscore this dreamy, emotionally safe atmosphere—perfect for cozy playlists, self-reflection, or that moment you realize maybe this could be something real.

🎶 Lyrics
[Verse]
The weight of the world has fallen in
Trapped outside for the love within
Imprisoned by thoughts we never show
Fighting feelings with no place to go

[Pre-Chorus]
When everything feels lost and gone
Somehow we both still carry on
Not drawn by pain or selfish game
Just something soft we can’t quite name

[Chorus]
A selfless want to simply care
To just be present, just be there
To bring back hope so it can stay
To say you're safe, it’s okay

[Verse]
We take the wall down, brick by brick
Trusting slow, hoping it sticks
Not chasing sparks or push and shove
Just all the quiet things we do for love

[Bridge]
[Spoken] No fireworks, no perfect plan
Just showing up and holding hands
Maybe this is how it starts
Two healing hearts, a work of art

The things we do for love...
Just maybe, that’s enough.

💭 Artist Reflection
I wrote this piece during a moment when I didn’t need a love song—but still needed to believe in love. The kind that grows slowly, rooted in trust and safety, not just chemistry. it’s soft, it’s hopeful. And sometimes, that’s more powerful than fireworks.

The Things We Do for Love (For You)

Song Insight: "See-Through" by 4Me2BeFree
“See-Through” is a raw, slow-burning alt-emo confessional about emotional collapse, dissociation, and the desire to escape an identity that no longer feels like your own. Told through cracked, intimate vocals and minimalist production, the track explores a deeply personal unraveling—where even love feels like a distant echo. Its wall-cracked album art doubles as a metaphor: what’s broken reveals what’s true.

The song blends the emotional grit of a lo-fi bedroom confession with polished lyrical craftsmanship. Subtle rhyme chains and vulnerability-laced metaphors trace the mental spiral of a narrator on the edge of giving up—but still grasping for something real beneath the numbness.

Lyrics
Intro
[Instrumental intro]

Intro:Vocal-Prelude
Gave too much, you still switched
Now it’s just me and this empty shit

Verse
Took that hit, said I got it—cap
Now I’m sittin’ here watchin’ dreams collapse
Used to see it clear, now it all turn black
Real life hit—ain’t no turnin’ back

Verse
Back in my bed, mind loud as fuck
Scrollin' through texts, feelin’ stuck
My lungs ain’t numb, this pain too much
Arms on fire—don’t know who to trust

Pre-Chorus
It’s a loop... a drip... can’t even scream
Tight in my chest—can’t breathe, can’t dream
Vision blurry, night thoughts got wings
They all come back like ghost-type things

Chorus
I can’t stand this—ran outta time
Alone again, waitin’ on a sign
Lines on the sink, mind in a bind
Dead in a place I said I was fine

Bridge
Spin the clip, don’t know what I’m on
This the hill that I’m stuck upon
Nothing stashed, no backup plan
You want tears? I ain’t your man

Chorus
If I go, it’s me sayin’ I’m gone
Above this noise, I’m floatin’ on
Wanna be free from who I became
Lost in the shell, forgot my name

Verse
Left me cold, like you ain’t blink
Left me ghosted, lost in the sink
Hoped I’d fade—you played it slow
Now I’m just lead where love won’t grow

Bridge
I’m done, done, done—don’t fake cry
See-through eyes, dead inside
Gave up tryin’ to hold that line
Let it go—I ain’t gotta lie

Outro:Extended
Leve this place empty
Leve this place free
Leve this place
Leve
…
Leve
…
me

End:Fade Out

Artist Reflection
This one came from the edge. Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet kind—where silence is heavier than screaming. “See-Through” was written in a place where I felt invisible in my own skin, where even the act of feeling felt dishonest. It's about being ghosted by someone else… but more than that, being ghosted by yourself.

The imagery of cracks forming a kiss felt right—because even in what’s broken, something intimate still survives. That’s what this song is: not a cry for help, but a confession of being past the point of asking.

This song is about another ex from about 20 years ago. The original will be posted if this does well.

All on my back

“Lazy Like a Monday” is a sharp-tongued, darkly funny anthem for anyone who’s ever been overworked, overlooked, or left holding the clipboard in a chaotic hospital shift. With biting wit and rhythmic storytelling, the song paints a vivid picture of ward life — where gossip spreads faster than test results, efficiency flatlines, and the queue to clock out is the only thing that moves on time. Beneath the humor lies a raw truth about burnout, bureaucracy, and the resilience of those holding the system together. Equal parts comedy and catharsis, this is the soundtrack for every unsung hero running circles in scrubs.

Empires and Revolutions

Original

Hardest Thing

Inspired by my favorite book Snowfall by K.M. Peyton

Snowfall - 6:1:25, 2.37 PM.m4a

Wings Of Their Own is a heartfelt ballad by Dr. Elliot Lach reflecting on the bittersweet journey of parenthood, separation, and the quiet triumph of watching children grow into themselves. Inspired by themes from his book "Leaving the Nest: Why Do Our Children Leave?", this song is a gentle reminder that love doesn’t end with distance—it evolves with it.

Wings Of Their Own

Same Same

"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.
