vVeird Vibes: Volume 5

Cover Art: https://twitter.com/Yzomiris?t=Hxy6O6SvbYyyLxIn_fwpZg&s=09
Music used to represent the mind of a young boy slowly falling in love once again, with his fair share of doubts and baseless self-deprecation along the way. Even then, he marches forward hoping for a day of clarity.

What did it take?
Your love, your care, your determination, your looks, and lastly but not least...

Your Voice.

Your Voice.

What lingering guilt, relative deterioration, and grief take from a person are ones without description. What it spawns, however, are questions: how much more can I hide from them? once the foreplay—that is distance—is gone, how much more pretend can I play? Just how little do they all know? Maybe you'll understand, maybe not. After all, "that's just the way of life". I'm just a hypocrite trying to protect other people's feelings by hiding the roots of mine, all it has sprouted is an affectatious oddity, these layers only reveal the nothingness of a broken mind.

The golden seals flash a crimson streak, the cracks reveal a husk amongst the crowd and crowns of broken hearts. Covert and Concealed.

UnMe

is it love
is it fear 
why do i just stand here
i can cut through the masks
see it clear
are they still my friends here

torn to shreds
and pieced back together
lost forever
you're reprieve
dissect me for all my treasures
treat me better
i wont leave

LYRICS///
you've been noticing 
all my little flaws in my pursuit of temptation in spite of laws
and I didn't mean to leave a footprint
or the fanta misplaced half empty in the fridge
but don't get scared if things are amiss
life's mostly average but you've got a secret friend
just live in bliss
take it step by step 
like i did on the ledges

and you're allegedly getting scared now
at least that's what I heard from the talk in the lounge
but that's fine
I'll leave a note to change your state of mind
and you don't have to worry,
love I can be cleanly even when I'm in a hurry

apparently things have settled down which seems so reassuring
I just want you know that I'm not doing this to start hurting
It's just that I want a normal life
and your personality seems to compliment mine
mine
just know I have nowhere to go
but for now I'll call your unlocked windows home
I'll meet you at the bar tomorrow
acting like I don't know who you are
and that's fine as long as we're not far apart
not far apart

LYRICS///
feelings flow like an ocean when you're around
they come down, surround and drown me
and I'd love to help you when you're down
but for now 
all I can do is sit outside your window tonight
and hope that you haven't found the mistakes in my ruse
the little clues I've left saying that   
I want you

all i see when I close my eyes is you
and the insides of your room
the layout, the payout of being in and out everynight
I feel like a cloud drifting into the sky that's your life
but it's our time
and I won't lie
I just want to make this right
or at least bring into light 
what I feel
what I've felt for you
for the longest time
you've been on my mind
no, this can't beright
this can't be right

feelings flow like an ocean when you're around
they come down, surround and drown me
and I'd love to help you when you're down
but for now 
all I can do is sit outside your window tonight
and hope that you haven't found the mistakes in my ruse
the little clues I've left saying that   
I want you

Lyrics//
play with me everyday like it's your past time
with pretty words, it's not may but you're a valentine
oh it's time
I'm unravelling and pulling strings like a puppeteer in his prime
I tend to look at our relations and love it
you're like a drug with a nice smile
can't get enough of it
oh I can't enough of it
and when i do I feel i go through withdrawal
 your personality on paper is on par with the pretty pictures you draw

maybe you don't think the same
and maybe you'll feel that way for the rest of days but I'm gonna move on,
maybe move you past your second thoughts or at least try but I thought I was right for what you sought

I spent hours thinking about you and in this thought I realized it's fine if you don't wanna be mine
I can just make sure that we don't drift apart 
and that when you feel down you know you have someone who has your back 
and that you still have their heart

SAMPLE WAS FROM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahSmNv0P7lA

I essentially took it apart and put it back together. just select small regions, copy and paste drum hits so that they're nearly perfectly on beat, and then consolidate all of the clips and loop. 

das how u make usable samples/loops yes

Is It You

Track 10 of album "THIRTY三十".

A mashup of the 30 tracks from TEN十, TWENTY二十 & THIRTY三十 into one final piece. The timings of each track are below, though some are almost inaudibly subtle.

27 - zelotypia = 0:00.000 
10 - tetractys = 0:00.295
20 - icosa = 0:13.359
24 - calc acerbia = 0:38.693
19 - bloom = 1:18.562
18 - liquid = 1:18.562
23 - galva = 1:31.226
17 - infirmary = 1:57.096
01 - before = 1:57.096
05 - glide & survey = 2:13.626
26 - volatil = 2:35.494
25 - bumbledom = 2:46.693
04 - nightspread = 2:59.494
08 - incision = 3:14.092
06 - simple geometry = 3:26.693 
03 - rapid_data_transfer = 3:29.894
13 - catalyst = 3:31.494
14 - the insides of tears = 3:44.294
29 - pendant = 3:44.294
16 - microchip = 3:57.294
11 - unknown = 4:09.896
07 - cryptocrystalline = 4:25.895
09 - incarnadine = 4:22.574
15 - flying = 4:22.574
28 - dynam = 4:38.709
22 - monostich = 4:48.322
12 - mono = 5:27.113 
02 - scrapbook = 5:33.517
21 - tetrachromacy = 5:42.551
30 - trifecta = itself

Some of you might be wondering what the hell's going on at the end. So, all thirty of these tracks are each made in under 24 hours, most in under 12. "trifecta" took JUST under 24 hours, and I was running out of time. However, the idea was to imply that now that this album's finished, "I'm just getting started". This is why you hear an orchestra tuning near the end. The final abstract sounds are supposed to represent what's to come.

Fun fact, the ten tracks in THIRTY三十 add up to exactly (to the sample) 30 minutes of music.

Lyrics//
look at me
let me show you what you shouldnt be
im a walking disaster
with my heart sown on my sleeve
oh, you dont believe?
you dont believe in me?
well ive had this dream for years and im only sixteen
so im gonna get what i deserve whether it's now or in the future

these words arent passion they're pain
and it's driving me insane
im trying my hardest to please
but things havent felt the same
and for better or worse
you feel no remorse anymore

this song was made using snippet's of bob james' "westchester lady" which i recommend ya check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V56yeZtqQTs

❤ enjoy the track(s), and have a great day! ❤

Is It Me

lyrics: oh im not holding back
when we first met i had a heart attack
and your loves a certain kinda trap
that once i get stuck there's no chance of coming back

i compensate and quantinize,
you fill the void and conjugate with my broken lines
and im sat by your side wasting time
but in the moment its like im truly alive

sample is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA
it's a great song, i really recommend checking it out :)

Not Holding Back

Absolutely incredible avi art by https://twitter.com/chubchow!

this song's basis was very inspired by the strings in Clear Tamei by Iglooghost, i highly recommend checking that track out!

LYRICS///
you're all i want
you're all i need
and all you want is to watch me bleed
but that's fine
i fuck up all the time

because im better off changed
than wrong in your eyes
and i'd rather be what you need
i'd rather you let me bleed
so watch me burn 
make me learn
to be what you want
what you'd liked to see
make me bleed
make my current self recede
make me all you'll ever need

LYRICS:
What do I want from you/
What do you want from me/
Am I your everything/
Or am I worth pennies to you like I think/
Either way, try and keep it together/
Hold me by the feathers/
And push me in the dirt/

I don't really care if it hurts, I just want you/
It wont satisfy me if your efforts wont leave bruises/
I don't lie and I wont soon/
so cut the "caring" rouse/
it's losing it's charm/

Shotgun drinks that i've never seen/
Lose balance, but gain self esteem/
Play all your cards just to impress me/
It doesnt matter either way, I would've stayed/

BLEEDING COLORS

FEATHERS

Let 'Em Burn

lyrics: 

got ur emotions under my skin
tear my arms apart just to see what's in
inside your mind
aside from the things you said, id be better off dead
than to listen to my heart
i fell apart for u and the things we are
either way, i adore u
the way ur eyes light up when the light hits right
the red sweatshirt that never leaves ur side
ur smart as shit, but im happier to call u mine

FELL APART

may or may not be a track off an album im making

lyrics:
I used to punish myself for existing
Thought friends were waiting for the day i went missing
I pushed them back with my thoughts
Convinced that I was hated, i just reaped what i sought
Imagined anger in jokes
So everytime they poked I shot back unprovoked
It's not the way that i am, but that's what self hatred can do to a man 
Let alone a man who doesn't wanna be one
Let alone a kid who thinks his life lacks reason
Let alone a loner losing all his day-ones
Every day I wake up and rue what I have become

what i've become

kind of a throwaway track i made a while ago
i lost the file for it so i thought i'd just upload the export i had while i'm working on the album :)

all you expect
