'Defiant' is my first single for the year 2022. I wrote this track around a year back but never got down to recording it. This is the final version it. As always, this was recorded, mixed and mastered by me in my room.

Hope you enjoy it!

Defiant

Stop letting the boundaries of the outside world determine how far you will go.

Lyrics:

Peel off, the skin under
I feel like a new born

running, evade surrender, for nothing
and all this is just who you are

(First Chorus)
See the hours recognize it gets dark
stop the whining make it yours or stifle
stop the clock and weigh the odds or stifle

It's beat up, if you remember
and soiled in your habits
woken from your slumber, startled
the picture is not who you are

(second chorus)
See the hours recognize it gets dark
stop the clock and weigh the odds or stifle

See the hours recognize it gets dark
stop the whining make it yours or stifle

Stop the clock and weigh the odds or stifle

We are liars of the highest order
laying back in a pool of shallow water

It is always on our mind
always in our hearts that we will drown
we will drown

(See the hours recognize it gets dark)

Stop the whining make it yours or stifle

see the hours recognize it gets dark
stop the clock and weigh the odds or stifle

stop the whining make it yours or stifle

stop the whining make it yours or stifle.

Stifle - SleepFighter

Inspired by long drives, empty moments and the urge to get away from the pointless drudgery of modern human society.

Cruise Control is an allegory to abandon the need to be caught up in the ephemeral happenings of everyday, and to let life flow freely.

Divine Intervention

Sometimes breaking your patterns and trying the unknown could very well be your answer.

Skewed Perspective

Will I ever loose the method to bring it all together
Must seek, throwing all the options, never reaching over
Who you are, I could never cover, breaking up the order
tying to put it together

And simple as it goes, implicit understanding
simple as it goes

As simple as it goes, implicit understanding
simple as it goes x 8

Breaking up the Order

This is a track that has been in a semi-completed state for a while and it was only a matter of time before it came to life. 

Featuring audio clips from one of my favorite movies of all time.

Cheers!

Livid

Here's a track that describes my mental space at this point. It is also a track that I wrote rather quickly and have had a lot of fun playing.
