Ebb and Flow

Pretty Little Lies

They gave me a plaque
and I gave them a shrug
Said I'd made it
but I still packed lunch in a mug

The mirror bowed politely
the inbox threw confetti
My name misspelled in bold
close enough to celebrate

I've got a title no one uses
a password I forget
My empire fits in folders
still waiting for respect

My paper crown bends in the rain
ink running down the royal face
Every rule I followed
spelled my name wrong anyway

But maybe that's the trick of it
meaning hides in the small print
The joke's on grand ambition
the punchline's in persistence

Because the crown is cheap
but it's mine
Cut from yesterday's plans
lined with coffee stains and time

It may not shine on stage
but it holds when the wind complains
It's proof I showed up
again
and again

My paper crown bends in the rain
but it catches the light just the same
Not gold
not perfect
but honest enough
Every crease is a story
every tear, tough

Maybe greatness was never loud
just someone staying kind
still trying
still around

We wear our paper crowns
the crooked, the flimsy, the proud
We wear them not for glory
but because we're still here
Still building something small
that somehow lasts

Yeah
Call it fragile
Call it foolish
but it fits

Paper Crown

Capsize - Without a Craftsman

Dive into the crushing weight of regret and self-destruction with "Without a Craftsman." This track explores the unraveling of a life, where promises turn to dust and the choices made lead to an inevitable fall. A raw, visceral journey through lost identity and the bitter prize of compromise.

Capsize

"Miniature" is a swift polyphonic piece, brought to life by a string ensemble. Its energy lies in the perpetual motion and interweaving voices that create a complex yet harmonious flow. Devoid of a pronounced emotional message, this composition captivates with its sheer dynamism, inviting the listener to appreciate the beauty of the process itself — an endless striving forward.

MINIATURE

Welcome to the island. 🌴

This track, "My Thing," is the ultimate anthem for radical self-ownership. It’s a modern R&B groove that sounds like freedom, but feels deep like a late-night thought.

It’s the sound of looking back at the traditional paths, the "endless years of stereo monogamy'', and confidently choosing the road less traveled. It's about enjoying the quiet solitude of your own space ("my private island") and making zero apologies for it.

The lyrics dive into that moment of blissful independence: no one to answer to, no one to blame, just the floor turned up and the vibe set by you, for you. While there's a quick moment of realizing "all of them are gone," the V2 is clear: this choice is empowering.

This isn't just about being alone; it's about being profoundly free.

Hit play, turn up your space, and get down deep into your own thing.

Tasha - My Thing

“Look Me in the Eye” is a heavy, emotionally charged metal rocker that fuses raw vulnerability with relentless intensity. The verses plunge into shadows and chaos, where love feels like both a battle and a bond, weaving imagery of fire, ice, chains, and storms. The chorus erupts with confession and defiance, admitting a need that feels impossible to deny, while the bridge offers a fragile truth beneath the fury—a moment of care hidden in the silence. With its blend of anguish and passion, the track becomes a symphony of tangled hearts, stormy love, and unbreakable connection. It’s a song that thrashes with power yet bleeds with sincerity, perfect for anyone who’s ever felt the destructive beauty of love they can’t walk away from.

Look me in the Eye

Modes About Me is a genre-defying trio from Niagara Falls, New York, known for blending alternative rock, pop, hip hop, and acoustic elements into a cohesive, emotionally charged sound.

The project began as a solo creative outlet for Mark, who started writing and producing music that didn’t fit neatly into one category. What started as a personal side project soon grew into something bigger when he recruited his childhood friends, Dave and Miller, both long-time musicians who shared his passion for experimentation and emotional honesty.

Together, the trio shaped a sound that thrives on contrast — heavy yet melodic, structured yet fluid, vulnerable yet powerful. Their music draws inspiration from the energy of Niagara Falls and the emotions of modern life, exploring themes of self-discovery, mental health, love, and resilience.

Modes About Me’s songs shift naturally between genres — from guitar-driven rock and soulful acoustic moments to rhythm-infused hip hop textures — while always staying true to their core identity. With every release, the band continues to push the boundaries of what alternative music can be, carving a distinct sound that’s deeply human and refreshingly original.
