Up And Down Again

Sorrow - Thaís Cristine
Lyrics by Thaís Cristine Erb
Instruments and Production by Eduardo Galera
Recorded at Mu.Sick Studios (2024)

Artist Commentary: “Sorrow” is a song I feel deeply connected to and proud of. Its musicality reflects a subtle integration of my Brazilian roots, and the lyrics come from a place of real emotional honesty - something I value in everything I create. This song was born from a moment of deep internal conflict: the sorrow I experienced in response to a situation I deemed unfair and saddening. I struggled with putting my feelings into words. But ironically, that very silence is what led to this song. Once I recognized what I couldn’t express, the music helped me find the words. I believe Sorrow will resonate with people who think deeply, feel intensely, and often carry unspoken pain that others might not validate. If this song brings you a sense of recognition, comfort, or emotional solidarity, then I’ve fulfilled one of my greatest hopes as an artist.

Lyrics:

Sorrow:

How come when I try to say all the pretty words
It feels like nothing like myself, no, this isn’t me
How come I’ve said everything but it’s not enough
The words ain’t channeling much, no
It’s flawed their energy

Of love and remorse
I feel love, I feel regret too
I’m not in love, but I have loved you
I have no lied, I haven’t lied to you

Oh, I feel dishonest when I’m not lying 
Because I mistrust myself all the time
That’s what you did, love
Oh, feel inconvenient when I reach out
But they’re my feelings, they should be let out
Need to honor them too, oh

How come, the years have passed but the sorrow won’t
I’m feeling stupid, I’m feeling quite low, you told me to move on
How come I have a secret you’re like a god, oh
Seems like my spirit needs the real one, now that you’ve replaced him

Não soube amar, meu amor
Não quis me amar e me deixou
Por que cantar sobre a dor? 
Não posso falar, por isso canto 

Oh, I feel dishonest when I’m not lying 
Because I mistrust myself all the time
That’s what you did, love
Oh, feel inconvenient when I reach out
But they’re my feelings, they should be let out
Need to honor them too, oh

Closure, I sought revenge for closure
I thought revenge was closure
Maybe revenge was closure, closure
Closure, I sought revenge for closure
I thought revenge was closure
Maybe revenge was closure, closure
You hurt me with my sword

Perspective

(First Verse)
No, I don’t want you to die
Yes, you heard me 
Said nasty things
I sent you bad energy 
Yes, you heard me
Yes, I said it

(Second Verse)
But I don’t want your demise 
Though, yes, it feels like I was killed
You had to choose between you and me
And yeah, you didn’t choose me

(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause anyone else’s perspective
You’d rather reject it 
Just in case it don’t serve your needs 
Anyone else’s depression
Bad feelings, complexes
They don’t matter
To you I don’t exist

(Chorus)
‘Cause you chose yourself
Yeah, I was wrong
You did have loyalty 
You always chose yourself
Damn, was I wrong
You’ve always been loyal to your needs 

(Third Verse)
No, I don’t want you to die
Though I said it, 8 swords ‘round me  
You can’t believe the nice girl was mean
Found your wound, then poured some salt in it

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And now there’s no Christmas
There’s no real love
There’s no, no magic for me

And now there’s no sister 
No dad, no mom
No happy birthday to me 

And now there’s no true love
Blue skies, blue shirts 
No prince, no apologies 

And now there’s no Yvoire
There’s no blue house
There’s no, no castle for me

(Outro)

Healing from you
Will bring me peace, will bring me peace
Gotta be loyal to myself now 
Closure’s in me, closure’s in me

Music by Nix and Allen Anderson
Lyrics & Vocals by Allen Andersson

When music flows around,
people comes from all over town.
Never to stop the musical notes.

All over now, you see
Sometimes you connect with the sound,
making music all around.

Every sound, 
It's a grand thought,
for all to hear, music comes to our ears.
It's a grand thought for all around,
music when it comes to town

Making the love for music,
taking you to the world.

For every one who's living or died
music is hear, to listen to in your mind

It's grand thoughts for all to hear,
from far and close to you.
Grand thoughts for all to hear,
music has it's meaning.

Grand Thought (Allen & Nix)

Watching Out ForYou

Way Of The Shaolin

Lyrics:
i'm ready to go to war, 
breaking jaws, fuck the law, 
when i enter i'm breaking down the front or back door, 
come in screaming "everybody on the floor”, 
making so much noise, the cops are sure to get called, 

i don't give a fuck who gets in my millie range, 
a messy game, brains sprayed all up on the pave, 
you test me and my brains already dumb crazy, 
mcvay, bury any type of pussy fake g, 
way of the shaolin, know i'm not kidding, 
take your girl back to my place to hit it, 
incidentally i am an incendiary took the fuse, lit it, 
hotter than a skillet that's cooking in the kitchen, 

my words paint a picture, let the rhythm hit ya, 
i'm watching the game like a bird watch twitcher, 
so sit down and just listen, lyrical spitting, 
underground magic like an 86’d wizard, 
a blizzard when i unravel rhyme schemes, 
sew the beat, take the cake by any means, 
jj.starks leaving deep scars with my sword and verbal repertoire,
i'm taking over solo, don't need an entourage,
