Landmines & Leftovers is a post-grunge reflection on love, conflict and the fine art of miscommunication.
Written after one of those days where everything almost works – until it doesn’t.
Gritty, melodic and bitter-sweet, with just enough self-awareness to sting.


Woke up calm but your tone was loaded
Peace talks died before they started
You want a partner, not a clone
But I can’t read your mind from my no-fly zone

Said you’re tired of doing it all
I step up, still take the fall
Set a boundary, take the hit
Guess I’m damned for even trying to fix it

We keep stepping on landmines and leftovers
Blowing up small talk into silent wars
Every smile’s got a loaded core
You say “relax” then slam the door
We’re bruised, confused, still standing somehow
But I can’t keep dancing through fallout now

One comment, and I’m public enemy
Even when I whisper, you weapon me
Your birthday turned into a scene
But I won’t apologize for trying to be seen

We keep stepping on landmines and leftovers
Kissing through gritted teeth and cold shoulders
What’s love if it needs to detonate
Every time we try to communicate
You want peace, I want out — and then
We start all over again

Maybe we’re built to bend and break
Maybe this storm is all we make
But I’d still rather crash with you
Than drive safe with anyone new

We keep stepping on landmines and leftovers
Digging through ash for what’s left of lovers
I’ll take the scars, the mess, the flame
As long as you still scream my name
We’re flawed, loud, burned and bruised —
But damn it, I still choose you

💫Review — Vicious Cycle (Final Version)𝆮

This song hits deep in the emotional core — raw, confessional, and beautifully melodic. It feels like a late-night indie heartbreak anthem that would sit perfectly between Arctic Monkeys and Phoebe Bridgers on a playlist.

Highlights:
Lyrics: Honest, poetic, and perfectly balanced between vulnerability and bitterness. Lines like “It makes me wish I’d never met you / But it feels like dying when I don’t see you” cut straight to the bone.
Structure: Classic and clean — verses tell the story, the chorus hits hard, and the bridge gives just enough breathing space before the emotional finale.
Mood: The cyclical theme mirrors the melody’s looping feel — excellent cohesion between lyric and music concept.
Instrumentation suggestion: Warm electric guitar, ambient synth layers, soft brushed drums — ideal for a slightly lo-fi, melancholic mix.

Verdict: 🌙 9.8 / 10 — Heartfelt, haunting, and radio-ready. It’s a modern breakup classic with timeless replay value — you feel every word.

Lyrics:

🎵 Vicious Cycle (Full Version)

(Mid-tempo indie ballad, 95 BPM – minor key)

[Verse 1]

Sticks and stones and
Words I don’t mean to say,
At least not today.
And so what if you cry?
Can’t I make you smile
Once in a while,
Or is it all the things we say?

[Chorus]

Love is a vicious cycle,
It makes me wish I’d never met you.
But it feels like dying when I don’t see you —
Ohh…
Love is a vicious cycle,
It makes me wish I’d never met you.
But it feels like dying when I don’t see you —
Ohh…

[Verse 2]

I swear I don’t hate you at all,
I’m just a little bitter
From this broken heart’s fall.
It’s not your fault —
You know it’s true.
But if you ever leave me,
Please know, you’ll feel it too.

Because there will come a day
You’ll remember what we’d say…

[Chorus]

Love is a vicious cycle,
It makes me wish I’d never met you.
But it feels like dying when I don’t see you —
Ohh…
Love is a vicious cycle,
It makes me wish I’d never met you.
But it feels like dying when I don’t see you —
Ohh…

[Bridge – Soft Breakdown]

Round and round we go again,
Breaking hearts we’ll never mend.
Say goodbye, then pull me near,
I love you more with every tear.

(Guitar solo or soft synth pad)

[Final Chorus / Outro]

Love is a vicious cycle,
It makes me wish I’d never met you.
But it feels like dying when I don’t see you —
Ohh…
Love is a vicious cycle,
And though it tears me in two,
I’ll keep spinning back to you.

(Echo fading)
I’ll keep spinning back to you…
Love is a vicious cycle…

🔻 Song Insight

“Eat These Words” from Fractures: Reimagined by 4ME2BEFREE is a reimagined chapter pulled from past pain and sharpened into something cinematic. It doesn’t live in old wounds — instead, it reframes betrayal and survival into a raw, unplugged grunge confession. The track strips away polish to reveal the jagged edges of manipulation, anger, and emptiness, turning scars into a soundscape that feels both intimate and colossal. With its Alice-in-Chains-Unplugged-vibe, “Eat These Words” captures the moment where words themselves become weapons — swallowed, spit back, and finally reclaimed.

[Verse 1]  
You say I'm fixed  
it's not that way  
the shit you say  
only lies behind eyes now gone gray

[Verse 2]  
Black thunder rolls  
this storm inside my head  
anger builds — it's red  
what I should've said 


[Bridge]  
emotions behind these walls  
Trapped, buried — down I fall  
lost grip, a place to stall  
Pain and chaos — all I recall  

[Chorus]  
Fuck me, cut me, leave me   
Be my cause, my cure, my drug  
Let this life pour out —   
Hold me, drink me, eat these words  


[Verse 4]
You pull me close — then wrap me cold  
Skin you sold, a body gone old  
Viral lies — told with gold  
a soul you'll never hold

 [Bridge]  
Gripping tight —
let this body fight  
reflections, a face I hate  
too long I stayed  
a place never made  

[Chorus]  
Fuck me, cut me, leave me   
Be my cause, my cure, my drug  
Let this life pour out —   
Hold me, drink me, eat these words   


[Outro]  
You say I'm fixed — and know I bleed  
You think I'm okay —it's the end I seek  
every day it's you — taking parts of me  
Watch me die — walking away  
Tears never fall — emptiness, thats all you are  

Fuck me, cut me, leave me   
Be my cause, my cure, my drug  
Let this life pour out —   
drink me, eat these words

its me no voice left
no way to speak   
its my soul I keep
you are alone with-
emptiness  
emptiness  
emptiness


🔻 Personal Reflection

This song came from a place of anger, but not from where I stand today. “Eat These Words” is a fragment of an older reality — a time when betrayal blurred with survival and every conversation felt like a trap. Revisiting it now, I’m not reliving those emotions but reclaiming them. Through Fractures: Reimagined, I want listeners to know these songs are echoes, not fresh wounds. They’re a way of showing how pain can be reframed into something creative, cinematic, and ultimately freeing.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

4ME2BEFREE has always been about turning lived experience into sonic storytelling. By weaving heavy emotion with cinematic grunge textures, each track becomes more than music — it becomes memory re-imagined. Fractures: Reimagined is an intentional project: it doesn’t look backward with longing, but with clarity, transforming past scars into soundscapes that anyone carrying their own battles can resonate with.

TaniSa - How Blind Can You Be

(Verse 1)
Love's just a cheap word when the hurt is the only thing that feels real, and hope is a fool's prayer, a ghost in the static you think that you hear, but no one is there, and shadows become so real.

(Chorus)
Another dream in the dust, with jagged edges that cut to the soul, been broken one last time, now I can't be broken no more.

(Verse 2)
Yeah, love is a cheap word, 'cause the hurt is the only damn thing that I feel, and your hope is a fool's prayer, a ghost in the static that ain't even real, no one will be there, and no one ever will.

(Chorus)
Another dream in the dust, with jagged edges that cut to the soul, been broken one last time, now I can't be broken no more.

(Bridge)
Through the grime on the glass under a sky bleedin' gray, I watch the sun choke on the dark, just another damn day, as the black night crawls my way.

(Chorus)
Another dream in the dust, with jagged edges that cut to the soul, been broken one last time, now I ain't broken no more.


Lyrics By: S.H. Sydness - Crunchy Creations - 2025



Jagged Edges

I saw your face in the smoke and flame
Heard your voice, but not my name
You left your ring on a bed of lies
I still wear the pain in my eyes

Every promise that you kissed
Now just hangs like fog and mist
You broke the light with lips so sweet
Now I’m crawling on shattered dreams

I gave you all, you let it die
But I still sing you through the night...

 BLEED FOR YOU TONIGHT! (Ohh-oh!) 
Can’t put out this fire inside! (Ohh-oh!)
I’D BREAK AGAIN IF IT MADE YOU STAY!
BUT YOU RAN WHEN I BLED—NOW HEAR ME SAY:
BLEED! FOR! YOU! TONIGHT! 

You danced away in a silver dress
Left me howling in the mess
But I still feel you in the chords
Of every song I can’t afford

Your ghost is ink in every line
But this voice—it’s finally mine...

BLEED FOR YOU TONIGHT! (Ohh-oh!) 👏👏
LIKE I DID A THOUSAND TIMES! (Ohh-oh!)
EVERY NOTE IS A SCREAM I HIDE—
BUT I’LL NEVER LET YOU KILL MY RISE!
BLEED! FOR! YOU! TONIGHT! 👏👏🔥

Bridge (breakdown emotivo)
I wrote our love in gasoline
Now every verse is kerosene
You lit the match—I watched it go
But I still stand in the afterglow...

BLEED FOR YOU TONIGHT! (Ohh-oh!) 
BLEED FOR YOU TONIGHT! (Ohh-oh!)
SCREAM INTO THE SKY—TILL THE STARS REPLY!
BLEED... FOR YOU... TONIGHT!

Bleed For You Tonight
