15. 🌈 nobody here 🌈
There's something nice about nostalgia. The human mind desires that comfort, and that shared desire manifested into an ethereal being known as “Nobody Here”. This living emotion has wandered around zones without people, struggling to find its purpose, or even memories of its past. Upon entering the arcade, Nobody Here feels it has found a home, or an escape from the pain it experiences. Nobody Here hopes that she can find a greater purpose through the barely lit path, by finally interacting with humans again. Will she find out about her past, or will her memories echo out to nobody?

OUTRO - MINI-TOURNAMENTS

Blood in the Alleyway is a dark, high-pressure trap album from Hollowpoint Saint, built on 808s, speed, violence, paranoia, and spiritual warfare.

No story.
No nostalgia.
Just raw power, sharp bars, and midnight danger.

This album blends:
• heavy 808s
• rapid-fire flows
• cinematic darkness
• gritty street theology
• violent imagery + poetic scripture

Hollowpoint Saint delivers psalms made of concrete, sermons built from smoke, and confessions written in bass.

If you want an album that sounds like running from your past, fighting your demons, and carving your name into steel —
Blood in the Alleyway is the soundtrack.

Turn it up.
Let the bass preach.
Let the ricochets speak.

Blood in the Alleyway

Ricochet Prayers

TELNU - Willow Heartache Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Social Media had me fall in love with her pretty face
Her eyes made the real world fade
(Is it better this way?)
When I’m offline, she’s just two taps away
Your Willow bark is asprin for my heartache
A Willow for my heartache
A Willow for my heartache
(A Willow for my heartache)

(Verse 1)
Yeah, knock on wood
I’m enchanted by a stranger
On her Instagram all the time
Even though I shouldn't 
Put hearts on all her posts
Something about her is pulling
Weeping Willows in my soul
She’s more than just good looking
Just so creative, you're all the rage
What a beautiful and quirky face
Her figure is fit and infinite
Willow fills my mind with figure 8’s
Her music taste is peak
A smile from her is a parade 
I'm a hardcore fan
Willow is an absolute babe

(Chorus)
Social Media had me fall in love with her pretty face
Her eyes made the real world fade
(Is it better this way?)
When I’m offline, she’s just two taps away
Your Willow bark is asprin for my heartache
A Willow for my heartache

(Verse 2)
Hey Willow you’re a star
Over a quarter million follow your page
I fear I’ll run out of hearts
And I dread the day
Your internet rise has left me amazed
My friends are tired of me glazing your name
(What's her name?)
Everyone is lucky whose been in your wake
My low spirits are lifted by your elven face
I’m struggling to see the bad
(I look every day)
All I can feel are your branching rays
How can a woman online affect my entire day?
Loving you from afar, internet babe
I had to sing, what I couldn’t find the strength to say

(Oh, willow, willow, willow, willow)
(A willow for my heartache)
(A willow)
(A willow for my heartache)
(A willow for my heartache)
(My heartache)
