燕无歇

莫问归期

小城夏天

我期待的不是雪

This song is for anyone who’s ever felt too much or not enough. “Imperfect” is about trying to fit into a world that sells fake confidence and perfect filters and choosing to step away from all that. It’s soft and sharp at the same time. It doesn’t try to fix you. It just sees you. A track with honest words and a beat that lets you breathe. Imperfect feels real—and maybe that’s the whole point.

Lyrics:
I lined my lips with shaky hands
Scrolled past girls I couldn’t stand
Liked their posts, then rolled my eyes
Tried to match their perfect lives
I’ve worn the crown, I know the scene
Wore heartbreak like designer jeans
Smiled soft, said “girl support,”
But tore her down like it’s a sport

I wanted praise, I wanted grace
I touched up every single place
Told myself it’s just for fun
But I hated me when it was done

Imperfect—has a nicer ring
Than shaping me to be his thing
Flawed and loud, but at least I’m true
I’d rather break than look like you

They sell you “real” in ad campaigns
With twelve-step creams to bleach the stains
I bought the gloss, I bit my tongue
I wore “empowered” way too young
My mirror’s full of sticker lies
Like “girlboss,” “hot,” and “be the prize”
But none of that could drown the thought—
That I’m still learning what I’m not

I followed trends like gospel truth
Then cursed the cage dressed up as youth
I still flinch in the bathroom light
But I don’t chase it out of spite

Imperfect—sounds like something real
More backbone than a highlight reel
Rough and raw, but not unkind
I’m not your type—but I’m not blind

Every crack’s a quiet vow
That I survived, I’m here somehow
I won’t pretend to be the muse
When all I ever did was lose
So take your crown, your contour lines
I’ll trade the pageant for my spine
Imperfect’s inked beneath my skin
Not flawless—but I’m finally in

Imperfect—carved and underlined
More truth than all your filtered shine
Too much, too loud, too smart, too wrong
Still here, still flawed, still standing strong


La Lala lala La la la la 
That's all

Imperfect

with swelling strings and distant drums, evoking memory, loss, and the quiet ache of growing up. It feels like the kind of music that wraps around you gently when words aren’t enough

If Music Could Speak for Us

[Verse 1]
I was drowning in their shadow, lost beneath the weight
Tangled in their toxic whispers, trapped inside their maze
But I shook off every anchor, watched their dark clouds burn
Now I’m carving out my sunrise—this is my turn

[Pre-Chorus]
I crave golden moments, not their rusted chains
The only echoes I want are my heart’s refrains
No more ghosts of guilt to haunt my open skies
I spread these wings and rise

[Chorus]
I pull away like waves from a shattered shore
I’ll chase the light—won’t settle for anything less anymore
I deserve the best: clear skies, wild fire, open roads
No more heavy hearts, no more carryin’ other loads
When you cast your storm, I’ll be dancing in the sun
Only the best—yeah, I’m the only one!

[Verse 2]
Sick of plastered faces hiding crooked smiles
I’m trading broken promises for honest miles
You think your words can chain me, but I’m made of steel
I’ll bloom through every crack—watch me paint the real

[Pre-Chorus]
I want laughter like fireworks, bright against the night
Not fractured reflections of someone else’s fight
I’ll keep my circle tight, let the weak winds fade
My fortress stands unshaken, my path remade

[Chorus]
I pull away like waves from a shattered shore
I’ll chase the light—won’t settle for anything less anymore
I deserve the best: clear skies, wild fire, open roads
No more heavy hearts, no more carryin’ other loads
When you cast your storm, I’ll be dancing in the sun
Only the best—yeah, I’m the only one!

[Bridge]
Mirror cracks, the lies all spill
I’m reforged in courage, tempered by my will
You can say “I’m sorry,” but if you don’t stand tall
Don’t step back in when I’ve torn down your walls

[Final Chorus]
I pull away like waves from a shattered shore
I’ll chase the light—won’t settle for anything less anymore
I deserve the best: clear skies, wild fire, open roads
No more heavy hearts, no more carryin’ other loads
When you cast your storm, I’ll be dancing in the sun
Only the best—watch me rise, I’m the only one!

Only the Best

Deceptively simple song with some really subtle but incredibly well done harmonies (hint: the bridge).

Addictive Keys VST layered with Korg Kross' Analog Strings Pad!
