Soft-Rock

Things I Already Know

“Velvet Warnings” is a darkwave-synth journey through vulnerability, rebirth, and electric confession.
Each track feels like a pulse in the night — soft, haunting, and cinematic. From the fragile echoes of Glass Veins to the ritualistic power of Velvet Warnings, the album blends industrial undertones, ethereal vocals, and emotional storytelling.

With the addition of A Lover Again, the collection gains a bittersweet heartbeat — a song about starting over, learning to love through chaos, and finding strength in the ruins.
This record is for those who dream in neon, heal through sound, and dance in the dark.

[Verse 1 – Male Lead]  
Forty nights in the desert wind  
No bread, no fire, no next of kin  
The devil came with a silver tongue  
Said, “You’re the chosen, you’re the one”

[Chorus – Male Lead + Church Choir Harmony]  
But I don’t bow for a crown of gold  
I walk the line where the truth gets told  
Scripture’s my sword, and I won’t back down  
I wear the thorns, not the desert crown

[Verse 2 – Male Lead]  
He showed me kingdoms, towers tall  
Said, “Jump and fly, you’ll never fall”  
But I heard the Word in the canyon’s breath  
“You shall not tempt the Lord of death”

[Chorus – Male Lead + Church Choir Harmony]  
No, I don’t bow for a crown of gold  
I walk the line where the truth gets told  
Scripture’s my sword, and I won’t back down  
I wear the thorns, not the desert crown

[Bridge – Church Choir Lead, Male Echo]  
He offered power, fame, and pride  
(But I saw nails and hands stretched wide)  
I chose the cross, I chose the pain  
(I chose the blood that breaks the chain)

[Final Chorus – Full Choir + Male Lead]  
I don’t bow for a crown of gold  
I walk the line where the truth gets told  
Scripture’s my sword, and I won’t back down  
I wear the thorns, not the desert crown

[Outro – Spoken Dispatch Style, Male Voice]  
I met the devil in the dust.  
He whispered comfort, but I chose the cross.
