Well if you anti government or straight anarchist mentality this is your song! Straight downing the system lol

Rage Against The Machine

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Before It’s Real

Lyrics 


You are welcome to my nightmare tonight
Say hi to my friend the grave digger in sight
He’s got a great smile it cuts like a knife
And a great bite it’ll steal your life


Shadows creep where the cold winds sigh
Are you ready to run or ready to die


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Coffins whisper secrets below
The graveyard hums with a ghostly glow
He’ll offer a hand but don’t you take
It’s a deal you’ll wish you didn’t make


Tick tock hear the clock it’s late
Grave digger smiles he seals your fate
Laughter echoes in the air so thin
This is where your fears begin


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Welcome to My Nightmare - REMASTERED - HD

Under My Boot (ft. Stei Camel)

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Look in the mirror
Like what you see?
Look in the mirror
Are you really free?

A war for tonight
Two flights to hell
That gutted the city
How the mighty fell

In this sleepless world
Where life runs cold
Where money rules us
Souls bought and sold

Just look in the mirror
Like what you see?
All the pleasures on offer
Are you really free?

You think it's forever
But the day will come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
The souls you traded
The love you sold
Gone in a blink of sound

Beauty buys gifts
It might buy you love
But it can't buy hope
Like the birth of a dove

The apple cursed you
Flame of desire
Heaven watches you burn
In eternal fire

Just look in the mirror
Like what you see?
All the pleasures on offer
Are you really free?

You think it's forever
But the day will come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
The souls you traded
The love you sold
Gone in a blink of sound

They built temples of flesh
Where innocents bleed
We fed our children poison
Called it everything they need
We sold tomorrow for today
Now watch the innocent bleed
Look in the mirror
At the blood on your hands

You thought it was forever
But the day has come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound

The souls you traded
The love you sold
Your children will curse you
For the choice you made

Look in the mirror
Like what you see?
There's no forgiveness
For what we've become
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
Look in the mirror
Like what you see?

Blink of Sound

NEW HELL is AXAXC’s most apocalyptic and ambitious record yet. 

A symphonic war between heaven and hell, this album fuses Christian rock, hard rock, nu-metal, symphonic metal, electronic rock, and post-grunge into a brutal yet cinematic experience.

It’s an anthem for betrayal, despair, rebellion, and collapse — a story told through soaring melodies, guttural screams, orchestral fury, and unforgettable breakdowns.

CAESAR’S THRONE — the apocalyptic finale, the empire collapsing into dust.

JUDAS IN THE SENATE — betrayal in the halls of power, venom and silver.

WE ARE LEGION / LEGIONAIRE — collective war chant versus the lone warrior’s oath.

Hero — the emotional centerpiece: “I need a Hero to save my soul.”

NEW HELL — the title track, descent into torment and rebirth through fire.

AXAXC is here to Distort. Distrust. Destroy. 

For fans of: Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Bring Me The Horizon, Skillet, Red, Architects, Memphis May Fire, and symphonic/nu-metal fusion.

CAESAR’S THRONE

Light at the End

Copyright 2025 Drop Stereo. All songs written, created, performed, recorded by Timothy Anderson.

Verse 1
The cracks above are showing through,
blue’s been bleeding into gray.
We tried to build a world from truth,
but it keeps slipping away.
I’m tired of pretending I’m fine,
just to keep the peace inside.
We’re all screaming under glass skies,
hoping someone hears the fight.

Pre-Chorus
Every headline feels like static,
every dream feels automatic.

Chorus
So I’m tearing down the walls again,
let the noise come rushing in.
If this is what it takes to feel,
then cut me open — make it real.
We’re the kids they left behind,
still learning how to heal in time.
Every scar a battle cry,
underneath these glass skies.

Verse 2
We used to talk about forever,
now we just survive the day.
Our heroes turned to shadows,
and our faith just fades away.
But somewhere in the wreckage,
I still feel a pulse beneath.
It’s fragile, it’s defiant —
but it still belongs to me.

Pre-Chorus
Every silence feels electric,
every truth a bit prophetic.

Chorus
So I’m tearing down the walls again,
let the noise come rushing in.
If this is what it takes to feel,
then cut me open — make it real.
We’re the kids they left behind,
still learning how to heal in time.
Every scar a battle cry,
underneath these glass skies.

Bridge / Breakdown
(clean verse opens → screams layer in)
Break me down, rebuild what’s left,
I’ve been waiting for my breath.
If the world won’t bend — then I’ll defy,
one last truth beneath the lie.

Final Chorus / Outro
So I’m tearing down the walls again,
let the storm come rushing in.
We’re not lost — just undefined,
still alive beneath the grind.
Every scar a reason why,
we survive these glass skies.

Tearing Down the Walls

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Mmm... mmm...
Ai ai ai, always wondering why...

Ai ai ai, always wondering why
The end of the year comes when I sit and cry
'Cause I want it so bad, just someone to hold
A little bit of love that gives fire to the cold

The days grow shorter, the nights stretch long
I'm humming the melody to some forgotten song
Looking through windows at laughter spilling out
Cold hands in my pockets, trying to figure it out

But I can't keep weeping the way I used to do
Gotta keep believing I'm still standing here for something

Put some faith in God, 'cause He's the only hope I got
From the dreams I'm chasing to the ones I left behind
When December comes again, let it heal my heart
So I can wake from my sorrow and make a brand new start
Ai ai ai... make a brand new start

I've been holding onto pain instead of letting go
Running from the mirror, scared to know myself
But there's a light still burning through my darkest doubt
A whisper in the silence saying "I hear you now"

No, I can't keep living like I'm already through
Gotta start forgiving and find my way back to the truth

Put some faith in God, 'cause He's the only hope I got
From the dreams I'm chasing to the ones I left behind
When December comes again, let it heal my heart
So I can wake from my sorrow and make a brand new start
Ai ai ai... make a brand new start

Set my life on track
Surrender it all to You
You're the one who sees me
You make all things new

So I'll put my faith in God, 'cause He's the only hope I got
From the dreams I'm chasing to the ones I left behind
Yeah, December comes again, and it heals my heart
I'm awake from my sorrow, making a brand new start

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Ai ai ai, no more wondering why
With a little bit of love that gives fire to the cold
And I'm finally alive

Fire To The Cold

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
