All the Originals

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?

Metropolis

“The First Transmission” is a defiant broadcast from the ruins — verses crackle through broken wires and radio static, before opening into soaring choruses of hope, unity, and survival. It’s the sound of a lone voice carried across the void, reminding us we’re not alone, and that even in the darkest silence, the signal finds a way.

VERSE1
Standing at the heart of this ruined shattered land 
We climb the tower, 
The final hour, 
Together hand in hand.
But just a single word can make - a change.
The wires are torn,
The dials are worn,
Their hope can be reclaimed.

No matter how it might feel...
You don't have to be alone.
I'm here.

BRIDGE
[Through static clear,
The signal finds a way.
In spite of fear,
The signal finds a way.]

CHORUS
[Across the airways 
We're not alone. 
Let's send a message... a calling 
A light to guide us home. 
Open your heart. 
Broadcast to all the worlds you've known 
Our first transmission... of hope: 
A love that stands alone!]

VERSE2
I know this world has left you broken, scarred, and worn.
And what I ask,
That you give your last,
In the face of all you've borne.
The simple fact: I just can't do this on my own.
I need your hand,
To make a stand,
Or we'll lose this world we've known.

No matter how it might feel...
You don't have to be alone.
I'm here.

The First Transmission

I’m an Atlanta-based music producer and artist creating original electronic body music (EBM) with touches of industrial, synthpop, and dark electro.

My goal is simple: to make you move — just like the legendary EBM artists of the '90s and 2000s did. Influences include VNV Nation, Assemblage 23, And One, Neuroticfish, Seabound, Ministry, KMFDM, and more. Their sound shaped mine, and I hope my music resonates with you in the same way.
