Lyrics

Verse 1
Who are you We just met 
I’m curious and yes you’ve peaked my interest 
I’ll risk it it cuz I’m interested 
yes I’m risking it

I don’t wanna get hurt this time 
but I want to keep trying to find 
someone to share a piece of mine 
in my life time

Prechorus
Share some piece of mine
It may take a lifetime to find you
My piece of mine
You fill my darkness with light

Chorus
You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)
No holding back
All my sides
I share everything this time (share everything)
My emptiness fills will light

You fill me you fill me you fill me

Verse 2
Yes I know I am a mess
Far from perfect I confess
I keep trying to be selfless I’ll do my best 
but I’m a mess

And I will catch you when you fall
Be there with you through it all
So when you need me call on me
I’ll give you all of me

Prechorus
Share some piece of mine
It may take a lifetime to find you
My piece of mine
You fill my darkness with light

Chorus
You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)
No holding back
All my sides
I share everything this time (share everything)
My emptiness fills will light

You give me peace
No holding back this time
I’ll share everything
My emptiness fills with light

Bridge
Let me rock you with this lullabye (lullaby lullaby lullaby)
Love is like the sweetest nursery rhyme (nursery rhyme nursery rhyme)
Like kids on the swings flying to the evergreens
On a summer dream
I give you piece of mine let me rock you with this lullabye

Chorus
You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)
No holding back
All my sides
I share everything this time (share everything)
My emptiness fills will light

You give me peace  (piece of mine)
No holding back this time
I’ll share everything (share everything)
My emptiness fills with light
Let me rock you with this lullabye
You fill me you fill me you fill me

Piece of mine

"Empty Air" is a hauntingly introspective journey through the eyes of a young soul searching for answers.
With atmospheric electro pop and tribal elements, this track captures the essence of a pre-teen's longing and introspection.
The emotive soundscape, enriched by whooping chants, symbolizes the restless spirit of youth navigating the complexities of growing up.

Empty Air

A haunting, dream-like journey, The Drift Between draws listeners into an ethereal space between memories and shadows. With minimalist wood block rhythms, gentle piano, and ambient textures, this song lets the vocals take center stage, guiding us through a world of mist and mystery. Each lyric whispers of the past, echoing in the silence and offering solace in the unknown. Close your eyes and drift into a realm where reflections and reality blur, finding calm within the ethereal.

The Drift Between

Schlafe, kleine Emma, schließ die Augen zu,
die Sterne leuchten für dich, sie flüstern dir Ruh’.
Die Nacht ist ganz still, die Welt wird jetzt klein,
drum schlafe, mein Engel, im Mondenschein.

Schlafe, kleine Emma, sanft wie ein Traum,
im Bettchen geborgen, wie Vögel im Baum.
Ein Stern für dein Lächeln, so wie ich es mag,
bis du sanft erwachst am neuen Tag.

Schlafe, kleine Emma, die Welt ruht mit dir,
die Wolken sie wiegen dich sanft jetzt zu mir.
Ich bin immer bei dir, ob Nacht oder Tag,
mein Herz hält dich fest, was auch kommen mag.

Schlafe Kleine Emma (Chillstep)

Sometimes loving yourself is the love you need the most.

A fractured heart was all I knew
But now I'm finding something new
Left a trail of broken dreams
I carried them, 
carried them, 
carried them through

I'm unafraid of who I am
This mind’s a map, not foreign land
The silence turns to steady streams
It carries me, 
carries me, 
carries me true

I gave all the love I had
For something real, not something sad
Small-town soul with a world to claim
I broke the cycle, rewrote the game

Now I see, now I see
Loving me was the key for me

How many stars have lost their glow?
Letting them go was all I’d known
Saw the dawn 'fore the night was gone
Still I carried, I carried, I carried on

Now I see, now I see
Loving me was the key for me

Now I see, now I see
Loving me was the key for me

I don’t need those chains, I’m free now
Off this ride, I’ll take the lead now

Now I see, now I see
Loving me was the key for me

Now I see, now I see
Loving me was the key for me

Loving Me

I dedicate this music to my father, who likely heard this as the last piano composition from me.

BLACK HEART (Old Version)

[Verse]
In the shadows of the night,
Whispers dance beneath the light,
Memories, they slip away,
Obscured by time, they fade to gray.

[Verse 2]
Silent echoes on the breeze,
Moments lost among the trees,
Search for truths within the night,
Hidden far from morning's sight.

[Chorus]
Obscured by time, the scenes unwind,
Secrets left for us to find,
In the haze of distant years,
Twilight dreams and phantom fears.

[Verse 3]
Lonely streets where footsteps roam,
Ghostly pasts that call you home,
Fragments of a love long gone,
In the mist, you linger on.

[Bridge]
Faces blurred within the mist,
Hearts once joined, now lost, dismissed,
Fading like a silent rhyme,
Through the veil of passing time.

[Chorus]
Obscured by time, the scenes unwind,
Secrets left for us to find,
In the haze of distant years,
Twilight dreams and phantom fears.

Obscured by Time

Dieser Song fängt die Essenz von Verlust und Erinnerung in einer minimalistischen, aber eindringlichen Klanglandschaft ein. Klavierakkorde bilden das emotionale Fundament, während dezente Drums und Gitarren subtile, rhythmische Akzente setzen. Ein Shaker verleiht dem Song eine organische Textur, die an den Herzschlag der Zeit erinnert.

Der Text malt ein Bild von Einsamkeit und Sehnsucht: "The Silence screams, so loud and clear" – die Leere wird fast greifbar. Der Song erkundet die tiefen Emotionen, die mit dem Verlust eines geliebten Menschen einhergehen, und betont die Macht der Erinnerung: "So deep in my breath, so deep in my heart."

Die Melodie ist melancholisch und zurückhaltend, was den Hörer einlädt, sich den Gedanken und Gefühlen hinzugeben. Der Song erzählt von einer Welt, die einst gemeinsam aufgebaut wurde, doch die Zeit hat ihre Türen verschlossen – ein Thema, das zugleich verletzlich und universell ist.

---------------------------------------------

This song captures the essence of loss and remembrance within a minimalist yet haunting soundscape. Piano chords lay the emotional foundation, while subtle drums and guitars add rhythmic nuances. A shaker introduces an organic texture, echoing the heartbeat of time.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and longing: "The Silence screams, so loud and clear" – the emptiness becomes almost tangible. The song delves into the deep emotions tied to the absence of a loved one, emphasizing the power of memory: "So deep in my breath, so deep in my heart."

The melody is melancholic and understated, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in the thoughts and feelings conveyed. It tells the story of a world once built together, now locked away by the passage of time – a theme both vulnerable and universally relatable.

Goodbye

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
You come to the mirror, but nobody's here.
You come to the people, with an imagined self.
You prey for attention, but nobody's care.
You prey for the food, for an imagined self.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
You come to the mirror, but nobody's here.
You come to the people, with an ideal self.
You prey for attention, an ideal can gain.
You prey for the food, for an imagined self.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Chorus]
Your strength is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
Your identity is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
If you lose yourself.

[Instrumental break]
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
You create delusions, with beautiful lies.
You craft every story, just to survive.
You prey for resources, from everywhere.
You prey for yourself, and you do not care.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Chorus]
Your strength is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
Your identity is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
If you lose yourself.
If you lose yourself.

[Instrumental break]
[Solo]
[Outro]

[Instrumental break]

If you lose yourself.
If you lose yourself.
When you lose yourself...

Vampires

A cardboard house full of plastic chairs
Digital fish in the fish tank stare
Love for sale on the OLED screen
Paper is better, words kept unseen

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screens
Stop looking at the screens

I wanna be someone else's kid
Refrigerator full of smash-and-grab
I'll make you a crown out of paper straws
Tell me a joke that I haven't heard

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screens
Stop looking at the screens

I bought you a hat to match all your tee shirts
Soft static and shades of yellow suburban
I will be Frank and you'll be my ma cherie
Coat full of patches and kaleidoscope daydreams

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screens
Stop looking at the screens

When Monkssnap started writing music, Monkssnap did not think for a moment that Monkssnap could actually make money from it. Monkssnap only wrote what Monkssnap wanted, the joy in the music was enough. Gradually, Monkssnap changes the idea, goal and career was that Monkssnap should generate income for the music, so it's incredibly good that Soundcloud can contribute with that: - the income goes to street projects in Uganda, and help youth in culture, art and music who can to be a landscape that is difficult to navigate. At the same time as there is an incredible amount of project information that you have to familiarize yourself with, it is also a terrain that is constantly changing where the rules can change in a second. That's why Monkssnap is incredibly grateful that there is media like Soundcloud that safeguards the rights and stands firm and safe in all the chaos: - and on top of everything, Soundcloud helps to give a small reminder that all the time you spend on music is worth it. It is very good to know that the music Monkssnap writes actually has value, and that Monkssnap is there with new ideas and projects at a level where youth exists.
