back from hell

'her (interlude)'
This track is based on two things; my relationship with the girl I love & my addiction. As both these things have a similar way of manifesting pain and pleasure. It is an interlude because, firstly it is sequenced almost in the middle of the mixtape, where the overall vibe starts to shift from Lofi to HipHop.
It is also an interlude for it's characteristics of keeping me in the same loop every time I fall for it. From pleasure to misery in a blink of an eye. Over and over again.
It start's off with a smooth ukulele and an original voicemail from the girl herself.

Lyrics:
[Voicemail Intro]
"Dekho, baat ye hai kay break lenay say humari feelings tou nai chali jaengi na? Matlab haan kabhi kabhi mein sochti hun k humain abhi date nai karna chaiye kyunke mujhe honestly lagta hai k hum dono zara jaldi kar rahay hain. Like humain cheezon ko pehlay zara time dena chaiye. Lekin- mein is baray mein sochti hun k mein aap say pyaar karti hun- phir-"

[Hook]
Baaton hi baaton mein,
Dou mulakaton mein,
Hathon mein hath thay, 
aur hum dono sath thay,
ab jaagun mein raatein, teray bina
Haathon mein hath thay
Ab jaagun mein raatein, teray bina...

[Verse]

"Dekho" [Voicemail]

Raaton ko mein jaagun,
reality say bhagun,
if you don't want my love, baby, bata day takay na dun
Tu batati hi nahi hai
Tu ati bhi nahi hai
You tell me that you love me,
par dikhati hi nahi
tu nibhati hi nahi hai
Baby, you know I'm the man
you know I'm the man
She says, "I know that you're the man,
and I'm in love with this romance. 
but baby we can't be together, I hope you understand"
Well, of course I understand,
that's why I am so reckless,
THATS WHY IM POPPIN' XANS,
my boys they're popping cans,
that's why I'm snorting, damn
and I ain't stopping, man
No I ain't stopping man
That's why I'm in this spaceship girl and I'm about to land
baby, I can't even stand
baby, just give me your hand
and imma take you out to France,
we don't even gotta tell nobody-
tell nobody- not even your friends,
baby, just give me your hand....

[Hook/Outro]
Phir, haathon mein hath thay, aur
Hum dono sath thay, aur
Jaagun mein raatein,
Jaagun mein- 
Jaagun mein raatein, teray bina..

her (interlude)

'survivor's guilt'
This track was written to express a feeling of achievement, yet also a feeling of guilt at the same time.
This was when I had finally gotten clean and started a new life, but my friends had died from the same war, the war of addiction... which is why the name, 'survivor's guilt'.
Half of the song expresses the feeling of guilt leading to every action I made that year, while the other half, is a very focused version of myself who knows what to do and how to do it.

Lyrics:-

[Intro]
Woman: Do you love me?

This is Musti, finally 23
A lot of people don't make it till 23
Shit, a lot of people don't make it till 21...
It's been a sad year, man...

[Verse]
Thank God I didn't die last year
I was on the drugs getting high last year
I was setting everything on fire last year
wasn't meant to be, wasn't my time last year
Daddy gave me the bottom line last year
did a 100 million f*cking lines last year,
told a 100 thousand white lies last year, 
I wasn't selling my soul, I was buying last year
Anything to stop me from dying last year,
knew I couldn't do it, but I was trying last year
You know I wasn't fine last year,
used to pop a couple xans with the wine last year
Every time I fell, couldn't rise last year
funny how I thought I was so wise last year,
giving everybody advice last year,
"Boy's don't cry"
but I cried last year,
couldn't even look up in the sky last year,
used to hate myself, I used to hide last year,
lost a couple of my friends last year,
didn't feel love, had to pretend last year,
a couple messages I didn't send last year
broken promises, I didn't mend last year
but, boys grew up into men last year
Boys grew up into men last year
F*ck it!
It's comeback this year,
I ain't on the harry or the crack this year,
coming for revenge, no cap this year,
no wolf-pack shit, I ain't into that this year,
F- my ex, f*ck 'this is not a song'
I couldn't live without you, well, fuck it, I was wrong
Karma's looking for you bitch, it's coming back strong
and it's bangin' on it's chest like a f*cking King Kong!
Called my uncle just to get me out of jail,
my broke ass couldn't even pay the bail
never gave a f*ck, that's just how I feel,
never went to work, cause my daddy pays the bill
but, how would you feel if someone told you to chill while you're snorting up some shit, and you know that shit kills?
you know that shit kills, man
but imma pop another pill, man

[Outro]
You know...
thank God I didn't die last year
thank God I didn't die last year
I was on the drugs getting high last year
thank God I didn't die last year
didn't die last year, uh

survivor's guilt

this is not a song

'do not go gentle into that good night [Outro]'

This piece of work is taken from a scene in 'Interstellar' a science fiction movie by director, Christopher Nolan. The music in the background is produced by the legend, Hans Zimmer, while the poem is narrated by the actor, Michael Caine.

I chose this as the outro to this mixtape because this project started from depression and finished in depression.
From 2017 to 2020, I have been depressed like never before.
Many times I have thought and attempted to end my life.
But, I am still here, doing what I love to do... & it honestly doesn't even matter to me if I make it as an artist, or if I get filthy rich in a few years or reach stardom. All I want from this platform of music is to reach to those who have similar fears, regrets, depression, traumas, guilt or any sort of pain, and maybe somehow comfort them by just identifying with them. It might only be for a few seconds or minutes, but in that time, they will not be alone. & neither will I.

This poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" is a poem written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. It was written by Thomas for his dying father and is still one of Thomas' most popular poems today.

In the poem, life is symbolized by light and death is symbolized by the night and darkness. It refers to all kinds of men ("Wise men", "Good men", "Wild men", and "Grave men") and how they did not achieve all the things they wanted to. As a result, they all "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" and resist their deaths. At the end of the poem, Thomas encourages his father to do the same and fight and protest his death.

In essence, I think this poem can apply not only to old age and death, but to any adversity we face. We should not give up so easily and always go down kicking. In any endeavor we choose to pursue and any struggles we face, we should persevere and remember to "not go gentle into that good night" whether the 'good night' is failure, or death. So even though this project has finally come to an end, I shall not let it be my last. Even if the night gets lonely or horrifying or sad, I will not give up so gently, I will rage, and rage against the dying of the light.
