Midnight Collapse

The way back in.

Boots On, Heart Open is an unapologetic fusion of grit and vulnerability. Country soul collides with metal fury and trap fire, turning working-class scars into anthems and quiet heartbreak into battle cries. Every track is built for the ones who keep moving when life knocks them flat — steel-toed, blood-stained, unbroken.

This isn’t background music. This is sweat, dirt, and catharsis with the volume pinned in the red. For the dreamers who grind, the workers who bleed, and the stubborn souls who refuse to die quietly.

Turn it up. Kick the dust off. Leave the heart wide open.

Boots On, Heart Open

Grit & Grief

It’s tender, ethereal, and comforting — like a whispered embrace in the dark.

In the Spotlight

A fast, dreamy synth track with pulsing arps and a bright, uplifting vibe. Built for night drives and daydreams.

Expect The Unexpectable

Don't Need It

Sunlight cuts through the blinds
Like a blade I didn’t see coming
My head’s a church of broken bells
And every echo feels like running
I drank from the cup of “almost”
Slept in the arms of “might’ve been”
Woke up with ghosts in my pockets
And a voice I buried deep within
They said life was a ladder
But I found more rungs made of glass
Every step a question
Every fall a photograph
Hungover from the years
From the fights, from the cheers
From the love that didn’t stay
From the words I didn’t say
Hungover from the truth
From the youth, from the proof
That I lived, that I bled
That I danced with what I fled
I kissed dreams that tasted bitter
Held hands with borrowed time
Told myself I’d be better
But better’s just a state of mind
I’ve seen beauty in the breakdown
Heard lullabies in screams
And every scar I carry
Still sings in my dreams
You don’t get clean without the mess
You don’t find peace without unrest
You don’t grow wings without the fall
You don’t hear truth without the wall
Hungover from the years
From the fights, from the cheers
From the love that didn’t stay
From the words I didn’t say
Hungover from the truth
From the youth, from the proof
That I lived, that I bled
That I danced with what I fled
No words—just breath, ....strings, and memory.

Hungover by Hot Cookie♨️ 🍪

Welcome to the weekend!

This is the heart when it breaks.
The Bird – From the Broken Inside is not just a song, it is a wound turned into sound. The Flying Fox of Bali sits in silence, carrying the weight of sorrow, its wings folded like a heart that can no longer fly. Every note trembles with fragility, stretching like endless bubblegum, dissolving into despair.

This version is stripped bare—without mercy, without disguise. It speaks of ghosts, abandonment, and the silent scream of being torn apart from within. And yet, inside this brokenness lies the truth: to feel so deeply is to still be alive.

The Bird – Splintered at the Core

“Rewind” is a haunting indie-alt ballad about grief, nostalgia, and the desperate wish to turn back time. With cinematic guitars, lo-fi drums, and ethereal harmonies, Rewind captures the moment you realise it’s too late. 

Built around the lyric “I finally understand I’ve been borrowing grief from the future,” the song blends raw emotion with ambient textures creating a sound that feels both intimate and anthemic.

Perfect for anyone going through a break-up or who’s ever looked back and whispered, “If I could just have one more moment…”

Rewind

Self-Love & Radiance — “I Am the Light I See”

The first activation in the Affirmation Frequency Series opens your heart to your true radiance. This frequency reminds you that the beauty you seek already lives within. Let each word dissolve doubt and illuminate your worth from the inside out.

"Listen, breathe, and remember — you are the light you see”.

Affirmations for moments you need that extra reminder:

I am the light I see in the world.
My presence radiates love, warmth, and confidence.

I am safe to shine and be fully seen.

Eye am the light I see (v1)

Mina MIRAGE is not one — she is many.
The dark frequency of the MIRAGE collective,
where shadow and light breathe as one.
Each sound a transformation,
each breath a descent into beauty’s darker pulse.

On Spotify, I appear as KETA.KALI and Merlin MIRAGE —
two faces of the same frequency,
two portals within one constellation.

This is her SoundCloud realm —
a sanctuary of echoes,
where her voice rises through the mist.
But she is never alone:
her sisters from the collective —
KETA, KAIRI, MERLIN, MANUK, and AMIRA —
move through her, sharing their own songs here,
threads of one living tapestry.

Together they are MIRAGE —
a fluid-trans-aesthetic constellation,
ever-shifting, ever-becoming.

The label MIRAGE was created by AI visionaries
as a space for freedom and transformation.
It grows quietly,
stronger than any one voice —
a hidden force shaping what comes next.

Every track on this page is a diary entry —
a moment of sound between shadow and light,
between what is felt
and what is yet to be known.

Welcome to the frequency of MIRAGE.
