I Saw You

a love song written when I first started to enjoy playing acoustic songs.

Static Love

It's You

Hallow Ween

"Rolling Dice" by Tigershell unfolds like a hazy dream, inviting listeners into a world of contradictions and uncertainty. The opening lines, “One to criticize / Wondering if our worlds settle down,” suggest a struggle between internal desires and external pressures. There's an underlying tension—a push and pull between the need for stability and the unsettling feeling of something always just out of reach.

The line “And you whisper with your eyes ITS WRONG / To be criticized again” speaks volumes through its subtlety. The power of unspoken communication comes through, as if emotions simmer just beneath the surface, too complex to be fully expressed. The repetition of criticism reflects a cycle that feels inevitable, a burden that weighs on the soul.

As the journey continues, “Take us to the crest of this town / To the rest of this house through a door,” there’s a sense of searching for something beyond the ordinary. It feels like a quest for clarity, though what lies on the other side of that door remains tantalizingly unclear. The lyrics leave open the possibility of escape or simply a return to the familiar.

The metaphor of gambling in “Even if the dice were thrown / And you gamble with your life it’s true,” taps into the unpredictability of life itself. Every choice, every moment, is a roll of the dice—sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't, but the stakes always feel high. The imagery of being "withered up inside again" evokes the quiet resignation that can follow when those gambles don't go your way.

In the chorus, the line “All you care / Share you love the world / Only you’ll be afraid to understand” hints at a deeper internal conflict—love is there, but fear holds it back. It's as if understanding the full weight of emotion could be too much to bear, and so it remains just out of reach.

The surreal questioning in the latter half of the song, “hey do you wanna be / such a hopeless / Do you wanna hear / a little sci-fi sci-fi yeah,” pulls the listener into a more playful, abstract space. There’s a lightness here that contrasts with the earlier gravity, a moment of escape into the fantastical, where reality can be bent and reshaped. It’s a glimpse of freedom in an otherwise heavy journey.

Finally, the closing lines, “Do you wanna be such a conman / Why do you wanna have what we all like,” challenge the listener to reflect on their own desires—whether to conform or stand apart. The song leaves you with more questions than answers, but that's exactly where its magic lies. It doesn’t tell you how to feel—it lets you wander, unravel, and interpret for yourself.

It Weighs You Down

An artifical intelligence helped me write some of these lyrics.

Cryptic Murmors

Your Pain

This track talks about the attempted assassination attempt on the former President, and questions what one might think when constantly attacked in so many ways and for such a long period of time. It also hypothesises on the speculation of him potentially seeking retribution from those responsible for ruining his life and his country, when he takes back the Presidency. 
Whether you hate the man, support him or neither I personally think that trying to kill a country's head of state is a reprehensible act to say the least.
What happened to democracy?
