Nice tune.  This estrangement club is getting bigger all the time.

The storm’s howlin’ outside, wind screamin’ through the trees,
rain poundin’ like desperate hands,
tryin’ to break into me.

I used to chase the echoes, of voices not my own, searchin’ for my strength in places
where it was never known.

I gave it all away,
let the world decide my name, but tonight I close my eyes, and I take it back again.

I found the fire, buried deep inside, through every heartbreak, every sleepless night.
No more fading, no more giving in. I rise, I burn, I find my power.

My power! (my power!)

Beneath the scars, beneath the pain,
somethin’ in me still remains.
A voice that never lost its fight, a spark that never feared the night.

I let the ink bleed out,
turn the chaos into sound,
every word I write is proof
that I can’t be silenced now.

I found the fire, buried deep inside, through every heartbreak, every sleepless night.
No more fading, no more giving in. I rise, I burn, I find my power!

My power! (my power!)

No more chains to hold me in place!
I am not broken, I am not weak!
I am the storm, I am the scream!

I found the fire, buried deep inside, through every heartbreak, every sleepless night.
No more fading, no more giving in. I rise, I burn, I find my power!

My power! (my power!)

I rise, I burn…
I find my power…

Power Within

Breaking bad

You dressed my wounds in perfect white
Gave me promises that lost their light
Thought I’d break, thought I’d fall apart
Now I’m the storm that’ll tear your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You kissed the venom, called it love
Now I’m the shadow you can’t outrun
Every rose you gave’s a bitter blade
And I’m the reckoning you’ve made
[Chorus] I move like silence dressed in black
You broke me once — I’m breaking bad
Hope she tastes the blood you hid
I know every dirty thing you did
You thought you’d fool me with your lies
Now I’m the bitch who’ll watch you die
[Verse 2] Your hands still stink of sweet decay She wears your guilt like cheap bouquet You haunt my name? I haunt you more I’m every lock you can’t restore
[Pre-Chorus] You kissed the venom, called it love
Now I’m the shadow you can’t outrun
Every rose you gave’s a bitter blade
And I’m the reckoning you’ve made
[Chorus] I move like silence dressed in black
You broke me once — I’m breaking bad
Hope she tastes the blood you hid
I know every dirty thing you did
You thought you’d fool me with your lies
Now I’m the bitch who’ll watch you die
[Bridge]
Save your lies, don’t waste your breath
You fucked it up, now dance with death
And when you’re crawling, broke and through
The last bitch standing? Yeah — guess who.
[Outro] Dead girl walking, heart turned black
You lit the fuse — I won’t hold back
No redemption, just my name
Branded in your goddamn shame

Breaking bad

Scars & secrets

[Couplet 1]
J’étais fille, timide, l’été chantait doux
Il m’a souri, le cœur battait un peu flou
On riait fort, on parlait de tout, de rien
Ses mains frôlaient les miennes, sans besoin de rien

Au bord du lac, le ciel se couchait lentement
L’eau dorée, comme nos rêves d’adolescents
C’est là que j’ai connu le goût d’un premier baiser
Et cru que l’amour, c’était pour l’éternité

[Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Sans promesses, sans regrets
Juste deux cœurs dans la lumière
D’un monde qu’on pensait sincère
C’était pur, c’était léger
Comme un souffle qu’on voudrait garder
Oui, c’était… l’amour parfait

[Couplet 2]
Un matin d’août, il est parti sans détour
"On se reverra," a-t-il dit — cruel discours
Depuis, j’ai cherché son regard dans d’autres yeux
Mais aucun n’a su parler à mon feu

On grandit, on apprend à dire "ce n’est rien"
Mais parfois, la nuit, son prénom me revient
Et je me demande, dans le silence, en secret
Si je connaîtrai un jour un autre amour parfait

[Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Sans promesses, sans regrets
Juste deux cœurs dans la lumière
D’un monde qu’on pensait sincère
C’était pur, c’était léger
Comme un souffle qu’on voudrait garder
Oui, c’était… l’amour parfait

[Pont / Bridge]
Le temps efface… mais pas tout à fait
Il reste un éclat… d’amour parfait

[Dernier Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Le genre qu’on n’oublie jamais
Même si la vie passe et file
Il vit encore… dans mon exil
C’était pur, c’était léger
Et mon cœur n’a jamais cessé
De rêver… à l’amour parfait

L’amour Parfait

L’amour Parfait (Perfect love)

Crave control 

[Verse 1] Lights out, red ropes, silk on skin Silence feels the air, feel it from within  Latex lips, got ‘em stuck on repeat They say I’m danger, but they still taste the heat
He call me trouble, I call it a prize He’s caught in my grip, can’t see through the lies You like it twisted? I bend the line I don’t follow — I redefine
[Pre-Chorus] Call it out like a chant in heat Got you stuck in a loop, no retreat Drop it low, drag it slow I take the wheel, you lose control
[Chorus] I crave control — don’t plead, just bite Love it when it's wrong, but it feels so right Chains and sparks, yeah I run this fire Got you breathin' my rhythm like your soul’s for hire Ooh, I crave control, and I claim what’s mine Wanna dance in the dark? Then step in line No filter, no pause, just sweat and spin You want heat? Baby, let’s begin
[Verse 2] Leather skirt, thigh-highs, glass of tease You ache for the taste, I don’t aim to please Click-clack heels, I walk like proof Lipstick law and a diamond truth
Speak sweet, I don’t do coy I’m the pulse, the thrill, not your toy Snap that neck when I roll by slow A storm in silk with a midnight glow
[Pre-Chorus] Call it out like a spell, like a crave You in deep, and I don't behave Lace and steel, electric moan I take the wheel, you lose control
[Chorus] I crave control — don’t plead, just bite Love it when it's wrong, but it feels so right Chains and sparks, yeah I run this fire Got you breathin' my rhythm like your soul’s for hire Ooh, I crave control, and I claim what’s mine Wanna dance in the dark? Then step in line No filter, no pause, just sweat and spin You want heat? Baby, let’s begin
[Bridge] Yeah, I’m that flame, no disguise Got him meltin’ down slow when I lock those eyes His pulse skips beats when he see me glide Body like truth — can’t run, can’t hide
I don’t chase, I pick — I don’t bend, I flip Turn a saint to a mess with a single lick Whispers to gasps, shadows to war You asking for mercy, I’m askin’ for more
[Chorus] I crave control — don’t plead, just bite Love it when it's wrong, but it feels so right Chains and sparks, yeah I run this fire Got you breathin' my rhythm like your soul’s for hire Ooh, I crave control, and I claim what’s mine Wanna dance in the dark? Then step in line No filter, no pause, just sweat and spin Unlock the flame — baby, let’s begin
[Outro] Let’s begin… Say it louder… Crave control, now who’s in power?

Crave control

MAESTROVIC. feat. LARYNX ‘The Craft of Music’ (original)

"Broken" is a raw, emotional ballad that explores the pain of estrangement, the complexity of unresolved love, and the quiet hope for reconciliation. With stripped-back vocals and a confessional tone, the track moves through themes of regret, inner conflict, and personal growth. It's a song about the unspoken — the silence between words, the weight of past misunderstandings, and the fragile hope that some bonds might still be mended.

Broken

Enchanted (Danny's Version) (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the skies wear every hue,
But none as bright as me and you.
You walked in like a quiet flame,
And suddenly, I felt my name.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to try, you just exist...
And somehow every wound forgets.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every hope I never knew,
Only you... always you.

[Verse 2]
You don’t fix me; you let me grow,
You see the parts I never show.
And in your eyes, I find my truth,
The kind of love that feels like proof.

[Pre-Chorus]
When I fall short or drift away,
You’re the voice that makes me stay.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every hope I never knew,
Only you... always you.

[Bridge]
And I would choose you in every life,
In every song, through joy or strife.
No matter where this road will wind,
With you, I’m home; I’m safe, I’m fine.

[Chorus]
You are the calm in all my storms,
The gentle light that keeps me warm.
You're laughter when my world turns gray,
A place to rest, a better day.
You're every dream that I hold true,
Only you... always you.
