Over You (Produced By King D Mr. Perfect)

Thanatology

Legacy Of The Worthless

When someone does you dirty and breaks your heart, sometimes you just gotta stand your ground and call them out. ;)

DEARLY DEPARTED

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias, you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never-ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the moon.

A beautiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot falling down.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.


Blood Orange Moon

I open up my laptop, see the emails pourin' in
Deadlines, demands, where do I begin?
Messages flashing, everyone's on my case
But I'm stuck in slow motion, still lost in space

Can't think straight, can't stay awake
My brain's on pause, give me a break
I'm half alive, for goodness' sake
I need coffee!

Papers stacked up, the work's piling high
My mind's in a fog, can't even try
The phone's blowin' up, they're all callin' my name
But until I'm caffeinated, I'm just not the same

Can't think straight, can't stay awake
My brain's on pause, give me a break
I'm half alive, for goodness' sake
I need coffee!

Beans grindin', the machine starts to hum
Steam's risin' up—here it comes!
First sip hits, now I'm alive
Watch out world, I'm ready to dive!

No more fog, I'm wide awake
Running full speed, no need to fake
Here I am, ready and bossed
My brain finally unpaused

Brain on Pause

You come to me, eyes heavy with tears
Stories of your battles, haunted by your fears
Life is pulling you down, the choices weigh you out
I hear your voice, but I can't clear the doubt

You're asking for a beacon, a sign in the night
But I'm lost in the darkness, can't find the light

I have nothing, nothing to give
No answers, no comfort, no reason to live
You're reaching out, but my hands are tied
All I can do is stand by your side
But I have nothing, nothing to share
No wisdom, no courage, just this empty stare

The weight of your world, it crushes my soul
I feel your pain, but I'm out of control
Health's a cruel gamble, time's a fickle friend
You're searching for a start, but I can't find the end

You want a cure, a remedy to heal
But I'm empty inside, I can't make it real

I have nothing, nothing to give
No answers, no comfort, no reason to live
You're reaching out, but my hands are tied
All I can do is stand by your side
But I have nothing, nothing to share
No wisdom, no courage, just this empty stare

But I'm here, and I'm holding on tight
I'll stand with you, through every fight
I may not have the answers, or a way to mend
But I'll be your strength, your unyielding friend

Perhaps I've got something, something to give
My presence, my heart, a reason to live
You're reaching out, and I'll take your hand
We'll face it together, we'll make our stand
I've got something, something to share
My unwavering support, I'll always be there

Nothing to Give

Someone’s Halfway There

Dark Eyes

"Amore Mio" is a composition born out of a desire to pay homage to the African continent and the rich culture that inspired it. With this song, I aimed to create a musical dialogue between African tradition and modern influences, blending styles like Afro House, Pop, and R&B. Every musical and lyrical element was carefully chosen to convey a warm, romantic, and sensual atmosphere that accompanies the central theme of the song: love.

The structure of the lyrics is a journey through various African languages, symbolizing the unity and diversity of this continent. In the first verse, written in Swahili, I wanted to capture the solar energy and vibrant spirit of East Africa, inviting listeners on a journey filled with light and love. The second verse, in Xhosa, brings dance and movement, evoking the power and grace of South African culture, with a vibe that celebrates life. The third verse, in Zulu, continues this energy, delivering a message of joy and unity, reflecting the communal spirit that defines African life.

The repetitive chorus, “Amore Mio,” serves as a leitmotif, a universal declaration of love, connecting the song's heart with a sense of passion and romance. Whether it's love for a person or for Africa itself, this simple and catchy refrain carries a deep message: love transcends boundaries and is expressed through the universal language of music.

Instrumentally, I chose a combination of acoustic guitar and percussion, which are present throughout the composition, maintaining an organic and authentic sound, close to African roots. Adding synthesizers, electronic drums, and modern R&B and Pop influences brings a contemporary touch, creating a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. 

The overall mood of the song is chill, relaxing, and positive, with a romantic energy, designed to evoke a sense of well-being, peace, and joy. I wanted listeners to feel transported to a warm and welcoming world, one where love and African culture blend seamlessly.

Through this composition, "Amore Mio" becomes an ode to African culture, a celebration of this extraordinary continent's beauty, diversity, and emotional richness. Africa is my source of inspiration, and through this music, I want to pay tribute to its places, languages, and vibrant soul.

Verse 1 (Swahili)

Jua linawaka, twende pamoja
The sun is shining, let’s go together

Sauti ya muziki, furaha ya moyo
The sound of music, joy of the heart

Verse 2 (Xhosa)

Ukukhanya kwelanga, masidanse
The light of the sun, let’s dance

Intliziyo yam iyaphakama, siyathanda
My heart is rising, we are in love

Verse 3 (Zulu)

Siyajabula, hamba nami
We are happy, walk with me

Ingoma yethu, siyathandana
Our song, we love each other

Amore Mio

Know Where To Run - John Hardman

If you were a fire
would you eat my gasoline soaked arms
I'd be your one to desire
if you knew who you thought i was
a match for every pirate
should your cannon ever need a roast
if you dont come for me
its dire
my pale blue purple becomes known
my pale blue purple
do you remember the alamo
my pale blue purple
goodbye everyone i know
if you never want to come
but you get off 
from the worst guy
ive ever known
if i know youll never love me
and if you have the driest eyes
if you hate me
and you love me
i know your one of my kind
now that the sun has set
your my pale blue purple eye
my pale blue purple eye
like a father defeated by genes
like what they say are modern times
my pale blue eyes are ripping at the seams

Panacea

My Pale Blue Purple
