Venom

6th place in Spinnin' Records' independent artist charts for January 2023.

Photon

A rush of retro synths, pulsing basslines, and undeniable chemistry — Neon Midnight is a dancefloor confession wrapped in 80s pop sheen. Beneath the flashing lights and drum machines, two longtime friends cross a line they can’t uncross, caught in the thrill of the moment and the blur of what it means. It’s upbeat, breathless, and bold — a celebration of impulsive joy and the kind of night that changes everything. Love, lust, or something in between... the beat doesn’t care. The only rule is: don’t look back.

LYRICS:

I see you
Across the bar
Staring at me
Staring at you.
The neon lights
Fill the room
And cigarette smoke
And your perfume.

A closest friend,
That took the chance,
What am I
Supposed
To do?
The night is so young.  
No one can see this.
I'm holding back,
There's something between us.
Neon it buns
A passion unspurned
The music's just right.
Let's do this til midnight!

Something has changed.
You're not the same.
You've crossed that line.
You take your  stand.
You've had this planned
All along...

You're in control now
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
You're in control now
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
I just can't take it 

The night is so young,
No one can see this.
I'm holding back.
There's something between us.
Neon it buns
A passion unspurned.
The music's just right.
Let's make this a 
Neon Midnight!

I see you
Across the bar
Staring at me
Starting at the floor.
You take me
By the hand
And we walk
Out
The door.

We're both alone now,
No one can see this
No holding back
There's something between us.
Neon it burns
A passion we've earned.
This just feels so right
Let's make this a 
Neon Midnight!
Neon Midnight!
I see you
Across the bar
And there's nothing
I
Would change.

Neon Midnight

A slow, punishing track rooted in classic industrial form, Solemn is a confrontation, not a lament. Mechanical rhythms pulse beneath layers of distorted synths, carrying the weight of environmental collapse and moral decay. The track is about unchecked greed — and the quiet, terrifying realization that the damage is irreversible. “Slash and cut the forests, / Rip and tear the earth — / Nothing left is sacred, / Money’s the only worth,” the voice declares, hollowed out and unflinching. There’s no catharsis here, only judgment.

LYRICS
I can't believe it's come to this
It's like you don't want us to exist
You know
You could change.
The earth's not here for you to exploit
This is exactly on to my point:
It's you
And your greed.
It's you
It's you
We don't need. 

REFRAIN
Slash and cut the forests,
Rip and tear the earth
Nothing left is sacred.
Money's the only worth.
Taint and spoil the oceans,
Choke and scorch the skies.
Then when it's the end times,
You'll be left asking why.

All for your bottom line
Uncork your vintage wine do
You think?
You think
We don't know.
A change is overdue
The piper's here for you and
We know,
We know
It's a trend.
Now see
Just see
It's the end.

REFRAIN

If the world is ending
What are we to do?
I think that the place to start
Is having one less of you!

Solemn

A hypnotic waltz through vice and fantasy, The Dark Masquerade invites you in — only to question whether escape is even possible. Underneath pulsing beats and opulent synth textures lies a cautionary tale about indulgence without restraint. It’s seductive by design, all velvet and venom. “So it was, / So shall it be — / Join the endless revelry,” the voice beckons, and for a while, it feels like freedom. But when the music shifts, the mask slips — and you realize you’ve been dancing in someone else’s hunger all along.

Lyrics

Come in from out of the rain.
A dark place to hide your shame.
Don your mask,
Forsake your past,
An opulent façade is yours to claim.
Bare your smile for all to see.
Indulge your deepest fantasy.
Sate your vice
There is no price
A land of splendid vanity.

REFRAIN
The dark masquerade is here for you
Whenever you need.
Hide your face, 
Assume your place.
Join in the dance and take the lead!
Suits and gowns of strange design,
We move as if we're possessed.
Consume 'til content,
And never repent.
The music's pounding deep inside your chest. 

The others here begin to smile at you.
Sins and sights that are all brand new.
Take in the air
So soft and so fair
They call you queen therefore it must be true.
So it was
So shall it be
Join the endless revelry.

REFRAIN

Suddenly it all feels wrong.
You can't hear your favorite song.
Everyone sees
You fall to your knees.
You've been here for far too long.
We are here at your beck and call,
With one hand on our hips.
"If you're so inclined,
It's our turn to dine."
They smile at you as they lick their lips.

REFRAIN

The Dark Masquerade

LYRICS

Breathing in the air
Of ancient mountains.
Before the dawn
Of the cresting sun.
Far below resides
The gilded towers
And marble chambers
Of an age undone.
The riches of all the earth
Most now concede
Before the truth
Of our own deeds.

REFRAIN
Bathe in the light
of endless glory.
Nothing on the Earth
Can place a value on us, now.
We have found the way.
We have paid the cost.
It's not what we own
It's about what we have lost.

We can gather all
The priceless trinkets
And lofty titles
Ever conceived.
But there will come a day
When all that matters
Is what we've done
For those in need.

REFRAIN
Open your eyes
Take in the air, now.
Don't shy away.
No looking back down.
This is our chance,
Breathe in the glory.
Take me away.
Take me away.

The thing that matters most
Is who you are
And what you do
When no one sees.
You know what it's like
To be abandoned.
But don't give up.
We will succeed. 

REFRAIN

Glory

We’re still alive.” That’s not a triumphant shout — it’s a raw, trembling truth that pulses at the heart of Just Before Tomorrow. This track doesn’t offer easy hope; it wrestles with sorrow, acknowledges collapse, and still dares to look ahead. With rising synthscapes and unrelenting drums, it becomes a rallying cry for anyone carrying pain into the next day. It's not about being okay. It's about choosing to rise anyway.

LYRICS
The world feels darkest
just before the dawn.
Tell me all 
the little things
you're dwelling on.

Look off to the distance
And see this world, anew.
Our hearts are strong,
our will is great,
let's bid this night adieu.

You're not alone in this,
Our darkest plight.
Just take my hand,
let's make our plan,
and show this world the light.

The times are hard enough,
there's so much sorrow.
Just hold on tight,
the sun will rise,
just before tomorrow.

REFRAIN
Raise your voice with me, and sing a praise
To the final death of all our darkest of days.
Lift up your head with us and pierce the skies.
Together we will make the most defiant of cries!
It's not the end.

There's so much in store for us, my dear.
Just lean in close, and you will hear.
Far off voices,
they've made their choices,
There's nothing left to fear.

A promise of tomorrow that yet will come
Will not give in,
It's time we begin
To make our kingdom come!

REFRAIN

Take off like a rocket
And leave this world behind!
It's not okay.
We're not okay.
But we're still alive!

We're still alive!
We're still alive!

Made with Ableton 11.

Just Before Tomorrow

Laying on the shore I see the stars
Staring back at us and all our longing hearts.
We have come so far, as some would say.
"The future is now, the past is the past,
Live for today".

REFRAIN
Cries echo through the night.
We pay for those sins tonight.
A freedom that is not free!
That is our legacy!

It's time once again to relive the past.
The glories of old, the lies that are told,
It just cannot last.
There is so much loss how can we say,
"The future is bright, we've earned this by right.
There's no other way."?

REFRAIN

We should not forget the candid truth.
We cannot ignore the looming mountains of proof.
That though we live a free life, it wasn't free.
That others gave their lives for you and for me.

Legacy

Stellar Descent dissects modern worship — not of gods, but of influencers, media icons, and manufactured truth. Set against a backdrop of grinding synths and ominous pads, the track draws a bleak parallel between blind faith and digital devotion. “Do we grant godhood / to those who lie?” the refrain asks, challenging listeners to confront the systems they’ve helped uphold. This is not just a song — it’s a warning. In the machine’s cold heart, truth is optional, and attention is power.

LYRICS
Pluged-in worship 
As false prophets dance,
On the edge of reason. 
We’re lost in a trance.

Illusions of divinity, 
crafted and congealed,
In the realm of lies...
It feels so real.

They pander to their viewers
And we hold them up high.
But like a fading star
They're dead inside.

In the droning of their voices, 
we form our faith,
Echo chambers feeding lies,
They're deciding all our fates!

REFRAIN
[Who are our gods? 
Why do they fall? 
Are they divine? Sublime? 
Are they real at all? 

Do we grant godhood 
to those who lie? 
And will they die,
If we defy,
And turn our eyes away?]

In the heart of
The machine.
Chasing shadows,
Chasing dreams.
They will find you.
They will find you.

The honest truth is 
that they need us.
To spread their message
To sow distrust.

No one thing on earth can stand
and lead us, lying, by the hand
Unless we let them.
So let's not.

Stellar Descent

Metropolis is a melancholic search for connection in a cold, synthetic world — but the city isn’t just a setting, it’s a stand-in for the self. The track moves through crowded streets and flickering neon to find the one person who still matters, but the deeper truth is harder to face: “This damn city's all to blame.” With lush pads, darkwave rhythms, and emotionally exposed vocals, Metropolis becomes a confession disguised as a love song. It’s about isolation, regret, and the quiet hope that maybe — just maybe — someone’s still waiting at the end of it all.

LYRICS
Verse 1

A concrete world
With neon lights and mazes made of steel.
A million faces -
I long for something real.
I know you're here
Somewhere waiting close.
I just can't seem to find you
When I need you most.
[Melody]
A flicker in the darkness
Against the neon lights.
Will I hold you, now, tonight?

Verse 2

I'm lost
Scanning faces for something that I know
A single face within the crowd.
Every corner looks the same;
I'm screaming out your name.
This damn city's all to blame.

REFRAIN

[In this metropolis
Nothing's as it seems.
You can lose yourself
Or live your darkest dreams!
What am I but just a man?
Longing just to hold your hand
And make you understand
What you mean to me.]

Verse 3

I'm weary.
The lights in all the bars have gone to black.
A heavy rain begins to fall.
At our special place.
I know I'll find  your face.
Are you waiting there for me?

A flicker in the darkness
Against the neon lights.
Will I hold you, now, tonight?

REFRAIN

Metropolis

I had written too many negative songs in a row. I had to write a song that was positive and hopeful - in a time of darkness. So rather than be hopeful in the now - I am hopeful for the future; for you - whoever you are. Stay strong. Things will eventually get better.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
This goes out
To the people of the future:
I live in doubt
That better days will come.

I sing to you from darkest night.
Where all our stars have died.
And we all live, terrified.

But for you-
I hope you feel the light.
If dreams come true.
You won't have to fight this fight.

I pray that every day
You live it like your last.
And I have hope
All of this will pass.

REFRAIN
[Where there is hope
I know that we can soar,
And sing our songs like before!
With every fiber of myself
I offer you this burning plea:
That you will live free!]

VERSE 2
I think that I'm just optimistic
To think that this could ever change.

That that all this pain and sorrow
Could ever somehow be erased.

But as God as my witness
I swear we tried so hard.
To build a better world for you.

One with hopes;
One with dreams so big.
That you might never feel alone.

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

I just-
I just want to make sure
That we won't fall again.
Not again...

REFRAIN

To the People of the Future

LYRICS

I remember how it was
When life felt new,
When I was still just so young.
Endless dreams-
We could aspire to be anything.
And dance among the stars.
In the age of spring
We could soar on paper wings
And just be who we are.
But it would not last.
Lofty dreams just fade too fast.
We're waking up today.

REFRAIN
It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)
What have I let myself become?
Melancholic, cold, and numb.
Do childish dreams just fade away?
(A price that we must pay)

The smell of grass and summer rain
Helps ease the pain,
And crimson glasses let us see:
A better time
Where we spent days with ones we loved,
And there was magic in the world.
But it could not last.
Lofty dreams just fade too fast.
We're living in today.

It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)

It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)
What have I let myself become?
Melancholic, cold, and numb.
Do childish dreams just fade away?



Just Ain't How It Used to Be

To my kids. My little fireflies.

Verse 1

Evening falls, the world grows still.
I see them dancing on the hill -
The softest glow that we can see.

Through weary days and restless nights
They shine briefly, soft and bright.
Will they shine on just for me?
(Just for me? Ooooooooh.
My dancing fireflies...)

Beneath the weight of endless days,
When all the joy has gone away,
You make me want to stay.

Refrain

Just one moment — then it’s gone.
My fireflies
Before the dawn.
You live eternal, deep in me.
(My fireflies, my fireflies...)
The days are dark, the nights run cold.
This daily toil is all I know.
But your light’s enough for me.
(Fill my heart with your light
You're just enough for me, I know
Until the end of time.)

Verse 2

They slip like whispers through my hands.
For fireflies have their own plans.
And leave with morning light.

The time we shared was not just mine.
But in my heart their glow will shine.
Until the end of time.
(Stay with me
Don't ever leave me all alone
I need you here with me.)

Beneath the weight of endless days,
When all my joy had gone away,
You made me choose to stay.

Refrain

Refrain
(Until the end of time...)
Just one moment — then it’s gone.
(It's gone forever...)
But the memory lingers on.

My Fireflies

Are we really connected — or just wired together?” Electric Dreams explores the illusion of digital intimacy in an age of endless scrolling and curated lives. Built on shimmering synths and a clean, cybernetic pulse, the track questions whether our online bonds are truly real — or just manufactured signals. But it doesn’t stop at critique. “In this electric dream, / Through circuits forged from stars, / Together we / Can rise again / And just be who we are,” the refrain offers — a flicker of transcendence through the static. It's a song about longing for connection, and imagining something more honest than the machine.

LYRICS
I see you when I close my eyes
Beyond the screen,
Beyond machines.
Our song surrounds us as we dream —
A sound so sweet to me.
There’s nothing left to hold us back.
Inside the dream,
Beyond routine.
We rise and fly to worlds between
And make our promise.

REFRAIN
[We’re all connected through
A web of hope we share.
With skies of chrome
And satellites —
There's music in the air.
In this electric dream,
Through circuits forged from stars,
Together we
Can rise again
And just be who we are!]

VERSE
In silent code, you call to me
Across the void
Of reality.
Through endless wires, we all break free —
Our souls in harmony.
In our denial of time and space,
There’s freedom here
In this sacred place.
Together now beyond all time…
And it feels divine.

REFRAIN

OUTRO
[We’re all connected through
A web of hope we share.
With skies of chrome
And satellites —
I hope to see you there.]
