I often go on night walks in the city and I wanted to express the mental distance I feel whenever I pass other people. Everyone follows their own goals and dreams, but we still have to live in the same place and somehow survive with each other. I love this song.

*** Lyrics ***
[Verse 1]
Wander city streets alone, faces blur and fade
Each smile hides a secret, each glance a blade
Shadows hold their whispers, eyes that scheme
Lost in crowds, where screams remain unseen

[Verse 2]
Neon signs flicker, a symphony of light
Broken dreams litter the edge of the night
Every corner a story, every turn a new scene
Silent cries lost in the insatiable city machine

[Chorus]
Echoes of footsteps, the night's cold embrace
Strangers pass by, each an unknown face
In the glow of the streetlights, all truths are spun
In the heart of the city, we're all on the run

[Verse 3]
Pavement under starlight, reflections in rain
Each drop carries stories of love and of pain
A city that never dares to sleep
Holds a million secrets it can't keep
The price we'll have to pay will be steep
All the wounds run much to deep

[Chorus]
Echoes of footsteps, the night's cold embrace
Strangers pass by, each an unknown face
In the glow of the streetlights, all truths are spun
In the heart of the city, we're all on the run

[Outro]
Underneath the surface, where secrets dwell
Every soul walks a line between heaven and hell
Whispers get caught in the chill of the air
In the silence of midnight, we're all laid bare

Lost in Crowds

I am in a very dark place right now.

*** Lyrics ***
[Intro]
Night after night, restless mind
Seeking answers I can't find
Empty faces, hollow eyes
In this world of endless lies

[Verse 1]
Why am I here, in this void?
Was I ever given a choice?
Born into pain, no escape
Screaming but lost in the noise

[Verse 2]
Life is a curse, day after day
Dragging me down, no light, no way
Drowning in shadows, can't break free
Why was this life given to me?

[Chorus]
In the dark, there's no guide
A whisper that says "Don't let go"
Maybe there's a lie, a flicker in night
A reason to fight, though it may never show

[Verse 3]
Night after night, restless mind
Seeking answers I can't find
Empty faces, hollow eyes
In this world of endless lies

[Verse 4]
Silent cries, unheard, unseen
Lost in this relentless dream
But somewhere deep, a voice inside
Tells me not to say goodbye

[Chorus]
In the dark, there's no guide
A whisper that says "Don't let go"
Maybe there's a lie, a flicker in night
A reason to fight, though it may never show

[Bridge]
Shattered soul, broken and torn
Wondering why I was ever born
Yet something stirs, beneath the pain
A hint of hope, in the pouring rain

[Chorus]
In the dark, there's no guide
A whisper that says "Don't let go"
Maybe there's a lie, a flicker in night
A reason to fight, though it may never show

[Pre-chorus]
Drowning in shadows, can't break free
Why was this life given to me?

[Chorus]
In the dark, there's no guide
A whisper that says "Don't let go"
Maybe there's a lie, a flicker in night
A reason to fight, though it may never show

Life is a Curse

I am using this music as a coping mechanism with the modern antisocial world. Don’t be hatin’. I apologize in advance if I am not going to reply to comments and DMs, I have problem communicating over social networks. But I still appreciate any and all feedback, even hateful.

About me:
I am a tired old man feeling social anxiety and hating crowds. I’ve been trying to make some music since I was little, first using trackers in 90’s, then Reason and other advanced software in 2000’s. I’ve been also learning to play guitar for years, but to no avail. But my main goal was to express myself in lyrics, not just creating music that sounded good but was shallow without any message. I was writing poems, lyrics and prose and waiting for the right moment in the future. That moment has finally come, and I can finally create some music and make AI sing my texts. I am very grateful for that.

Please, enjoy my music, even though it is AI generated. Nevertheless, I still pour my soul into making each track, spending hours and hundreds of takes. Not a single track here (except short ones) was generated in less than 50 generations, edits and inpaitings.

I heard people say that I didn’t earn the right to make songs unless I learned how to play instruments and sing. I understand their point, but I still disagree. Music is about expressing oneself, about coping with the world, about screaming into the void. And I am doing exactly that.

Please, enjoy the music for what it truly is.
