Tell U

there goes nothing
a void in me
but feels like something
deep within me

im sleeping
beneath the tree
when suddenly
a thunder strike on me

there goes something
deep in the sea
but there is nothing
nothing to see

im falling
like a drop of tear
from your lies
well its nothing to me

there goes nothing (demo)

sheet

“Fragments of Time” is a philosophical and emotional concept album exploring the fragile relationship between memory, time, and identity.
It does not tell its story linearly — instead, it moves through shifting fragments of recollection, where each song captures a different facet of the self seen through distorted memory.
The album asks a central question:

Who am I, if my memories can no longer be trusted?

Across its tracks, Fragments of Time navigates the blurred boundaries between what was, what might have been, and what was never real at all.
Themes of lost childhood, missed chances, trauma, and false remembrance weave through a non-chronological soundscape of progressive and psychedelic rock — blending analog warmth, orchestral textures, and experimental atmospheres.

Musical motifs reappear in altered forms throughout the record, symbolizing the reconstruction of identity through imperfect recollection.
Each reprise is like déjà vu — familiar yet subtly changed, mirroring the way memory reshapes itself over time.

The sound is both melancholic and cinematic:
delicate acoustic passages dissolve into vast, orchestral swells; distorted guitars and reversed pianos evoke the collapse of linear time; ambient textures breathe between moments, like ghosts of songs already forgotten.

In the end, Fragments of Time reaches no definitive conclusion.
Instead, it finds resolution through ambiguity — accepting that the self is not a fixed truth, but a continuous act of remembering and letting go.
The closing track, “Unwritten Hours,” fades into reversed echoes that lead seamlessly back to the opening of “Echoes Before Dawn,” creating a circular loop — a sonic metaphor for time folding in on itself.

Static Gardens

“The Big Misunderstanding” is an atmospheric journey through the signature Velvet Petals sound — where fragile beauty meets raw distortion, and melancholy collides with light. The album drifts between cinematic dreamscapes and alt-rock intensity, blending shimmering guitars, analog textures, and haunting vocals that hover like ghosts in reverb.

Each track unfolds like a fragment of memory — static, distance, reflection, collapse — echoing the tension between control and chaos. There’s warmth beneath the coldness, emotion beneath the machine. Velvet Petals captures the feeling of standing in a storm and realizing it’s beautiful.

A collection for late nights, long drives, and those moments when silence feels almost alive.

Still breathing

Written in 2009, rerecorded in 2016.

Lyrics: 
"How I wish I met you sooner in my life. Somehow, I still believe that loving you feels right. How I wish I met you when we were still kids, so I could say I loved you dearly ever since. I could go on and on about you."
