Description: We follow the character into the second stage of grief: Anger

Digital Prayer is a dystopian 80s-inspired synthpop song that explores themes of digital alienation, societal decay, and emotional numbness in a hyperconnected world. Through haunting lyrics and a driving analog rhythm, the song paints a bleak picture of a society lost in screens, automation, and artificial belief systems. It follows a protagonist who sends a metaphorical prayer into the digital void, searching for connection, meaning, and truth in a mechanized reality. The verses detail the collapse of human intimacy and authenticity, while the chorus echoes a desperate plea for contact and understanding beyond the static noise. With layered synths, industrial beats, and retro-futuristic atmospheres, the track delivers a powerful critique of modern isolation and the fading echoes of humanity in a world governed by data.

Lyrics
[Intro – instrumental]  
[Slow pulsating synth bass, mechanical rhythm builds with gated snares and distant choir pads]

[Verse 1]  
Wires hum like ancient cries,  
Screens are glowing in the dark,  
Truth dissolves in lullabies,  
Hope reduced to just a spark.  
Plastic gods in neon grace,  
Marching through electric night,  
Selling dreams we can't replace,  
Trading silence for the light.

[Instrumental – short drop]  
[Arpeggiated synth, robotic textures, synthetic reverb accents]

[Verse 2]  
We scroll through lies we never wrote,  
Each update kills a part of soul,  
Our hearts beat in a muted code,  
Disconnected, not quite whole.  
Mirrors show a hollow face,  
Framed by ads and coded shame,  
Lost inside this data race,  
Searching for someone to blame.

[Chorus]  
We send a digital prayer to the sky,  
No one listens, no one asks why.  
We're just shadows in a stream of time,  
Counting the seconds, locked in a mime.  
This is the sound of the end we made,  
Dancing alone in the mess we laid.  
Oh, signal me back if you're still there—  
Somewhere beyond the static air.

[Interlude – instrumental]  
[Dark synths swell, analog distortions blend with ambient glitches]

[Verse 3]  
The clocks are melting on the wall,  
Rhythms loop but never change,  
Empires built to rise and fall,  
We stay numb inside the range.  
Voices fade in chrome and steel,  
Truth replaced by sweet design,  
We forget how love should feel,  
Living under coded sign.

[Bridge – whispered vocal over slow synth pad]  
Tell me—can you feel the tremble?  
Beneath the beat, behind the veil?  
Was it ever real, or just assembled?  
A silent scream in digital mail.

[Instrumental – driving rhythm section]  
[Analog basslines, industrial drums, layered choir pad chords]

[Verse 4]  
We wear our sins like velvet skin,  
Flashing smiles that never stay,  
Longing for what might have been,  
In this cold electric play.  
Footsteps echo in the night,  
From souls we never tried to know,  
Each regret a point of light,  
In this dark collective glow.

[Reprise – Chorus with intensified layers]  
We send a digital prayer to the sky,  
No one listens, no one asks why.  
We're just shadows in a stream of time,  
Counting the seconds, locked in a mime.  
This is the sound of the end we made,  
Dancing alone in the mess we laid.  
Oh, signal me back if you're still there—  
Somewhere beyond the static air.

[Outro – instrumental]  
[Echoed synth lead fades into static, drum pattern decays into silence, a final analog pulse blinks out]

Braver Than the Storm

Shadows of Regret

Verse 1
You thought the silence kept you safe
But secrets always find their way
The mirror shows what lies can’t hide
The weight you carry deep inside

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus  
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Verse 2
The words you whispered fade to dust
But promises decay with rust
No comfort in the games you play
The truth is all that stays

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret
 
Bridge
All the doors you tried to close
Open wide, the story shows
Time won’t heal what’s been betrayed
Only truth remains

Final Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Don't Tell Me It Gets Better

An electronic journey through inheritance, manipulation, and the cost of betrayal.

He Said No

Music & Lyrics ‘The Mirror of Love’ by ARGYTACT 

My dearest, these are the words
I found in the silence, far from the loudest chords.
No judgment hides within these notes, only the light,
Of a love that sees you whole, stripped of all right.
I've come to know my own shadow, the darkest of parts,
And thus I dare, without fear, to lay open my heart.
I share this not to accuse, but because truth offers a path—
A freedom to love without the constant aftermath.

Through a thousand rooms of my past I once did roam,
A soul in search of worth, on unstable ground far from home.
My heart an open wound, susceptible to every pain,
The Redeemer in me watched, silent and subtle, fueled by strain.
I learned my value lay in every storm that I subdued,
And in that chaos, I knew who I was, my self-worth imbued.

For I was, my dearest, addicted to the struggle and the fray,
The adrenaline was my comfort, my constant stay.
It was the only language my formative years had taught,
A chemical yearning, for stillness and rest was sought.
I looked for external chaos, to distract from the void,
An invisible force that my life consistently employed.

And in your eyes, I found the echo of my deepest strife,
An invitation to rewrite the past, to fix my former life.
But now I see that my mission sustained your pain and fear,
My love for you made you strong enough to stand, yet kept you near.
I realize that my striving inadvertently fed the storm,
Allowing the trauma to persist, keeping your spirit warm.

My own path traversed through mist and through deep regret,
Through introspection, I learned the quiet voice to let.
And every lyric I now write is pure, honest, and plain,
The truth is the only boundary I allow to remain.
Your love is my true anchor, the melody that feeds my soul,
But the chaos, residing within, seeks to take its toll.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

And I see now, my love, why you cannot fully hear my song,
For the truth of your own sorrow is where your pain belongs.
I accept that your trauma holds you closed, keeping fear in sight,
And that you cannot grant me the listener's perfect, full light.
But I will never again permit the aggression or the lies to remain,
For my love for you must never invalidate my self-sovereign reign.

The desire for a child, a heavy burden we both bear,
But love is responsibility, and safety we must share.
I set that cherished dream aside, for the sake of our peace,
Refusing to burden your health, seeking our own release.
We are already whole, my dearest, in the love that is here,
And our worth stands complete, unmarred by this sorrowful fear.

My heart chooses you, the person whom I clearly see,
But my soul, my spirit, chooses safety and stability.
I stay, but I lay down the exhausting role of the Redeemer, forevermore.
I am your partner, not your therapist; that is the oath I now swear.
This is not fleeing the battle, but embracing the higher cause,
For in this clarity, our truest love blossoms beyond all flaws.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

Dearest, our journey continues, guided by new rules of respect and calm.
I faced my own trauma addiction; now it is time to lay down your alarm.
Your healing is your path alone, and my love will be the guiding flame,
Not to change you, but to help you find the way, far from shame.
In love, forever, with all the strength that within me dwells.
I remain, but I demand peace.

JOLEEN - The Mirror of Love (original)

Pieces of Me and You (Alt)

A sound you don’t just hear — you feel it breathing.
A slow electro-pop awakening, where warmth and light flow through the body like memory.
The voice is neither male nor female — it’s familiar, like truth remembered.
It begins with silence, expands into shimmer, and ends where beauty turns into air.
The first song of the Beauty Series — a journey through sound, touch, and transformation.
