Eclipse Of Me (Pop Rock Relapse)

"Dreams Bled Dry" isn't just a song; it becomes a part of your soul. It started as an entirely different project, a different track telling a different story. But as I was writing, the words began to shift and shape themselves. It was as if the song was writing itself, taking an unexpected turn. And because of this ironic twist of fate, it's become my favorite song I've ever been a part of. The process was exhilarating, pulling me along on a wave of emotion.

The lyrics delve deep into feelings of loss, longing, and the fragility of dreams. It's a raw, honest look at the human experience, and I poured my heart and soul into writing them.

The music, with its haunting melodies and driving rhythms, perfectly complements the lyrics, creating a powerful and unforgettable listening experience.
As the lead single for my upcoming album, "Split Decisions," "Dreams Bled Dry" is a taste of what's to come. It's a personal and vulnerable look into my world, and I can't wait to share it with you.
So, press play, close your eyes, and let the music take you on a journey.


Dreams Bled Dry

"The Best Thing" stands as Musiq Matrix’s most emotionally devastating track to date—a raw, unfiltered conclusion to his debut album that delivers closure as much as it underscores the painful necessity of moving on.

The song tells the story of a train leaving New York, carrying not just Bailey (Musiq Matrix) but the crushing weight of a love that left him broken. It’s a farewell to a city that mirrors his heartbreak, a past he can’t face anymore, and a partner he gave everything to but could no longer hold onto. The memories linger, impossible to erase, even as the train pulls him farther away.

This is more than a song; it’s a confessional carved into haunting melodies, drenched in both bitterness and aching hope. Each lyric feels like a literal goodbye—a soul baring itself completely, surrendering to the wreckage of a love lost, yet still wishing for the happiness of the one who inspired it. Its intimacy is so unflinching that listeners may feel like accidental witnesses, eavesdropping on a love letter not meant for them, amplifying its raw, unvarnished power.

"The Best Thing" reflects the duality of love: its undeniable beauty and the devastation of its collapse. It’s a heavy, soul-wrenching farewell to a relationship, a city, and a version of Bailey that no longer exists—a deeply human story of courage in the face of heartbreak.

In this final track, Musiq Matrix extends a poignant parting gift: a hope for his former partner’s growth and fulfillment, even as he closes the chapter with his own goodbye. It’s a stunning, unrelenting conclusion—one that stays with the listener long after the final note, just like the love it immortalized. 

It is - perhaps ironically - the best thing on "The Offbeat Chronicles".

Yeah…

Why do I…

Why do I keep fallin' when I know I should run?
Give you all my daylight just to fade like the sun
Why do I replay every word that you said?
Like a song stuck in my head

Can't forget, can't forget

I know the signs but I still drive blind
Crash my heart every single time
Tell myself it’s love, maybe I’m just high
Feelin’ low with a smile I hide

Why do I, why do I
Keep holdin’ on to what we let die?
Why do I chase what makes me cry?
Fall for the pain, yeah, every time

Why do I, why do I?
Can’t let go even when I try
Why do I lie and say I’m fine…
Why, why do I?

Why do I believe when the proof’s in the flame?
Burned so many times, but I still take the blame
Why do I wish you'd call late at night
When I know deep down it won’t feel right?

I swear I'm done but I'm back again
Tied to your ghost like it's oxygen
Swore I’d change but the cycle spins
Here I go fallin’ in again

Why do I, why do I
Keep holdin’ on to what we let die?
Why do I chase what makes me cry?
Fall for the pain, yeah, every time

Why do I, why do I?
Can’t let go even when I try
Why do I lie and say I’m fine…
Why, why do I?

Heart on repeat, I can’t rewind
Dreams of you keep killin’ time
I know the cost, still pay the price
Tell me why… tell me why

Why do I, why do I
Keep holdin’ on to what we let die?
Why do I chase what makes me cry?
Fall for the pain, yeah, every time

Why do I, why do I?
Can’t let go even when I try
Why do I lie and say I’m fine…
Why, why do I?

Yeah… why do I…

Yeah… why do I…

Yeah… why do I…

Why Do I ?

Why Do I? (feat. Frank Zozky)

Musiq Matrix is not just music—it’s the artistic evolution of Bailey, a songwriter driven by an unrelenting passion for storytelling and creative control. For years, Bailey honed his craft, pouring raw emotion into lyrics that captured the complexities of love, heartbreak, growth, and self-discovery. Inspired by artists like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Fall Out Boy, his songwriting was always deeply personal, yet the challenge remained: how to bring these words to life with a voice that matched the depth and quality of his compositions.

Bailey could have settled for traditional processing—applying filters and effects to his own voice to create something passable. But that wasn’t enough. His music deserved more. The vision for Musiq Matrix was born from the idea that every aspect of the creative process—storytelling, production, composition, and vocals—should be executed at its highest potential. This wasn’t just about making music; it was about ensuring that every element of the final product met the standard Bailey envisioned.

Rather than relying on conventional methods, Bailey embraced a groundbreaking approach: merging his songwriting and production expertise with AI-assisted vocals. This wasn’t about replacing artistry with technology; it was about elevating it. By using AI as a collaborator, he could shape vocals with precision, crafting performances that resonated with the emotional intent of each song. Every lyric, melody, and harmony was designed with purpose, ensuring that nothing was lost in translation.

Musiq Matrix stands as proof that when an artist refuses to compromise, innovation follows. It’s a testament to what happens when creativity is fully realized—where production, composition, and vocals align to create music that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. This isn’t just the future of music; it’s a new way of making art, where every piece of the process is maximized to its fullest potential.
