Lyrics
I took the risk and I fell from the 15th floor
I took a risk and i fell harder than i’d felt before
Call me an idiot but I
Walked blindly straight to the light
Crossed all the lines, ignored the signs
Said “all the stars were aligned”
I took your hand and I flew higher than before
Wasn’t long till my heart said it wanted more
Call me a dreamer but I, Can’t help but wanna comply
Every urge, every wish , every hope, no
Every dream just one I won’t follow
And I sound kinda silly but
I liked the way that I feel
Don’t know if its real

So though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a girl for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to fate

(I’d rather leave this to fate)

It’s been a while, and I’ve healed from the last goodbye
It’s been a while since the promise that I won’t cry
Over the time that I spent
Hoping that I won’t regret
Every chance I take, Every choice I make
Cuz I know what I’m wishing for
Won’t ever come into life
But I still wanna try

So though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a girl for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to…

I hope You hear my plea
If we’re not meant to be
I’ll guard my heart till I can guarantee
The one who’s meant for me
I put my heart on the line
But I’ll draw them clear this time
No more shots in the dark, done with wishing on stars
I’ll wait and see what’s planned in the cards

And though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a kid for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to fate

I’d rather leave this to fate

verse
I once knew a man with a strange fascination
Making love to critters was his vocation
Up and down the walls all day and all night
He gave me the jeebies but in spite
Of his strange tendencies I couldn’t help but see
Slime from his windows leaking from his sleeves
showed me his slimey ways to please
Snails in the ground and bugs in the trees
Now im sitting here with a snail in my ass
Ragged shirt no house and no class
How did I get here how did my life fell
Fuck bruh im cold as hell
chorus
look around me and i know (SNAIL SEX)
slimey critters make it grow fosho
when my eyes start to close (Snail Sex™️)
all i know is that snail sex cant be beat
verse
So I was sitting with two snails in my ass
Like give it to me slow like really really slow
Door came down like a comedy show (this is an intervention)
Names and credits they started to roll
Yo my name is amritpal Singh
Im just thwacking my amritpal thing
They call me rifqy and i am gay 
“Rifqy on a date?? HA no way” - Amrit
My name is celeste and I have no dick
If I had one it’d be hella big (WHOA)
Hi im nigel (drum solo) this is my drum solo I dont like my drum solo (SHUT THE FUCK UP)
chorus 
look around me and i know (SNAIL SEX)
slimey critters make it grow fosho
when my eyes start to close (Snail Sex™️)
all i know is that snail sex cant be beat

snail sex
snail die
snail sex

look around me and i know (SNAIL SEX)
slimey critters make it grow fosho

I may not trust the intarwebs, but I will surely trust my label. When it comes to discovering new music (to pop me out of my echo chamber and insistent feedback loop), it’s easy to get lost among the new releases. There’s just too much of everything, and it’s only getting harder to discern. Anyone can share their latest content. And anyone can upload with a click. There’s a reason for that. The companies that host it all have made it easy for a reason: to monetize your music. To turn your content into cash. On the flip side, the labels take their time. They are, in turn, investing in the artist. So when you buy into the label, you buy into their world. Past Inside The Present has been curating my journey since 2018, and I have learned to trust Zach’s choice in music. So when he backs North Carolina-based vocalist Angela Winter for her slightly avant-garde solo debut release for the label, I’m all ears. I write “solo” because in 2024, we’ve already heard her voice on a collaboration with the label boss himself, titled Mid Sky. Together, the duo navigated “a realm between the terrestrial and cosmic with organic drones and ethereal vocals“. In August, Angela returns with a full-length titled Forbidden Questions In Space, centered around ambient and drone improvisations, and of course, her voice, for a koan-inspired drift into the endless cosmos. If you’ve been following Headphone Commute, you know that I tend to focus on mostly instrumental music, often with a darker tint of sonic experimentation. Today, I select one of those pieces from her upcoming album to give you a taste.

Chorus:

Maski iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana ang sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

[Interlude]

Verse:

Kahit walang dahilan, may nararamdaman

Nagtataka ang puso ko sa di na pag-iisa

Kahit hindi na tayo ay magkaibigan

Sana tayong dalawa ay may ibang dahilan

Chorus:   

Maski iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana ang sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

[Interlude]

Ito ang huling, Ito ang huling pag-asa ko

[Solo]

Verse 2:

Di na babalikan ang ‘yong kagandahan

Sana bagay naman ang langit at buwan

Pwede bang dahan-dahan ang taon? maging malumanay.

Maski ‘sa lang (Maski ‘sa lang)    

Kasi ito ang huling, ito ang huling

Chorus:

iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

Huling Pag-asa

Verse 1
YOU HAD MY TRUST, BELIEFS AND ALLEGIANCE
GAVE ME SOMETHING MORE TO BELIEVE IN
OUR CREED UPHELD BY MUTUAL BRILLIANCE
BROKEN DOWN BY SELF RIGHTEOUS HUBRIS 

WE WERE THICK AS THIEVES
HAD MY BACK WHEN IT MATTERED
ALL I'M LEFT WITH
IS YOUR LIES AND DECEIT

Chorus
THIS MALADY
THAT PLAGUED YOUR HEART
BROUGHT TO A DEGREE
TEARING GOOD APART

SELFLESSNESS TURNED TO SELFISHNESS
ALL TO FEED THE DAMAGED EGO
CAN'T LET CORRUPTION GROW
I'M GONNA SWING, MY, WAY, IN

Post Chorus 
IM NOT TIRED
JUST HURT

Verse 2
WHAT I HAD LOST THAT DAY
I CANT REGAIN
THIS CRATER IN MY HEART
WILL FOREVER REMAIN

I MADE A CHOICE TO STICK TO MY CREED
TO HELPING EVERYBODY IN NEED
LOST MY MENTOR, YES, I GRIEVED
FACING ME, I KNOW YOU SEETHE

I'LL DO WHAT'S BEST
TO FIX YOUR MESS
EVEN THOUGH 
IT HURTS LIKE HELL

Chorus
THIS MALADY
THAT PLAGUED YOUR HEART
BROUGHT TO A DEGREE
TEARING GOOD APART

SELFLESSNESS TURNED TO SELFISHNESS
ALL TO FEED THE DAMAGED EGO
CAN'T LET CORRUPTION GROW
I'M GONNA SWING, MY, WAY, IN

Two-step
You turned your back on me
Pursuing a different decree
In your wake, unknown malignance
Gathers apathy

Verse 1

En peru viggy yeah (my name is viggy yeah)
Konjam ketuko (listen up)
Bet u never heard a tamilan spit like this before 
Step in the booth, I mean enga veetula ( step in the booth, i mean my hse)
Kavithaiya pozhiyave, rapping till the west ( Poems be flowing, rapping till the west)

Bars hit heavy like my Amma seruppadi ( Bars hit heavy like my mother hitting me wif her slipper)
Nth to worry about, got my boys wif me
Spillin and healing, till Macha tell me slow down
Young but the vision feeling seasoned and old now 
 
Aiyo, I dont wanna fit the flow, i dont wanna fit the group, pudikalena mathiko(change the song if udl)
Do my own now
Pudicha, ponnu kooda pesiko (if uw, u shld talk to the girl u like)
Pazhagi kooda paathuko (even get to know her and all)
Pudikalena mathiko (change the girl if udl her) 
Put ur phone down

AIYO
Fuck it endru vaazhnthuko 
Vidhimuraigal maaravo
 (As the rules change)
Nee yaarunu kathuko
 (Learn who u are)
Do my own now 


Let me finish off with a vendukol 
Trust ur heart and find your love 
Shout out to my aalu, treasure i found




Verse 2

Stop, I really wanna make the whole town wider
I vindicated masteries, I play guitar no squier
Who am I uhh, kid with the loop and lime green lighter
My words sweet and sticky, like papaya on fire
If you wanna get higher listen to my POD A
Oops, shameless plug my eardrums bust
I ride the kick like Uber Eats, deliver punch 
And when I go outside, you know that it’s a beautiful new day
I’m like Dr. Suess, if he was M18
I got this cat in my hat, man you know what i mean
I got guns, imma shoot you with this M16
Hol’ up girl, don’t you think that’s a bit extreme
I hit up Viggy and i told him yo what up my man
We in the same company, we gotta stick to the plan 
I gotta bick dig, man I know you heard that wrong
Come along, put yo hands together for this theme song (wooh!)




Verse 3

I burn bridges like i don’t give 2 fucks no mo
I keep a rhythm and I put it like it’s four on the floor
I steal hooks like it’s candy from a checkout lane (so what)
I paste ‘em back like glue and rename the brand new name
I bought my shit secondhand, it still fits like gold
My head is messy but im still here shooting my goals
My punchlines wear backpacks full of one-hand jokes
I put ‘em through the wash, clean, now they’re clever and woke
I wear sunglasses all day my future’s too bright
If i stand in a hallway i am the spotlight
You say who? Yeah it’s Viggy stop playin’ with me
Yeah you know the name spell it D-T-I-D-E
If the crowd throws tomatoes, I’ll make salsa outta that (mm!)
Then I’ll sell it and I’ll make big profit outta that! 
People prolly gonna say I’m a bit insane
So what? At least they gon’ remember the name!



Chorus

Super, super, super, super, super
Paradise Island
Super, super, super, super, super, super
Paradise Island
Super, super, super, super, super
Paradise Island
Super, super, super, super, super
Death Jazz Paradise Island

SUPER DEATH JAZZ PARADISE ISLAND
