Softer

A smoky, late-night confessional draped in neon and memory.
“Midnight Hunger” dives into the ache of desire, the sting of regret, and the kind of love that lingers long after it's gone. With raw lyrics and a moody, sensual atmosphere, this track captures the emotional fallout of moments we can’t forget—and maybe don’t want to. Perfect for late-night listening, heartbreak loops, or slow-burning seduction.

# Midnight Hunger

[Verse 1]
You say it's just the hour,
But I feel the weight of years
Pressing on this silence
Like whispers drenched in tears
The city's neon heartbeat
Pulls me back into the haze
Where shadows wear your perfume
And time forgets my name

[Chorus]
This midnight hunger—
It don’t ask, it just consumes
Craving every lie we whispered
In that low-lit motel room
Your touch is like a ghost now
But I still burn with the bruise
This aching hour remembers
Everything I meant to lose

[Verse 2]
The vinyl spins its sorrow,
Same song as the night before
Ashtray full of maybe
Keys still in the door
Your lipstick stains the mirror
Like a promise half-erased
And I drink to dull the echo
Of the way you said my name

[Bridge]
I was never made for mercy
You were never built to stay
We danced like sinners in the dark
Then slipped in separate ways
But this hour pulls me under
Where your memory won’t fade—
A fever I keep feeding
In the bed that we unmade

[Final Chorus]
This midnight hunger—
Keeps me calling through the static
Wishing I could lose you
But addiction turns fanatic
You haunt me like a rhythm
That no silence can undo
Still starving for your shadow
In this hour born for two


Midnight Hunger

A bossa nova-inspired track driven by subtle snaps and muted kick drums forms a gentle rhythmic base.

[歌詞]
街の音が遠く感じる  
空っぽのカフェ 窓越しの空  
Routine keeps spinning like a wheel  
だけどどこか心が still  

I try to find the rhythm again  
息を吸って 吐き出す pain  
Every step I fake, I feel  
この場所に意味はあるの？  

Restart my heart, I’m searching for light  
眠れない夜を越えて  
重ねたときの中  
Still I rise, still I try  

コンビニの灯りで滲む  
思い出たち 曖昧な truth  
Nothing's clear but I keep on  
誰かの声が背中を押す  

見えなくても  
わかるときがある  
答えじゃなくて  
今を生きる  

Tick tick  
時間（とき）は問わずに過ぎていく  
But I’m still here  
記憶の中に、まだ私がいる  

Restart my heart, I’m chasing the light  
朝焼けに滲む決意
心に咲く名前のない  
flower that won’t say goodbye  
 
深夜2時の交差点 
止まったままの traffic light  
でも somewhere in my chest  
わずかに響く future beat  

Restart my heart, I’m living the light  
闇に慣れたこの目でも  
見える気がしてきた  
a way, a way to fly  

(restart it now)  
(心が光る)  
(fly again)  
目を閉じて feel it

Summer Days (V.6)

“I Came Back Alone”

A slow-burning soul confession about loss, pride, and the quiet aftermath of love gone cold. “I Came Back Alone” tells the story of a woman left behind—but not broken. She returns not for closure, but to claim her silence.

With a vintage-inspired sound that echoes smoky rooms and empty beds, the track blends emotional restraint with lyrical sharpness. The voice is raw and understated, the instrumentation stripped down—warm basslines, melancholic chords, and a sense of time slowing down.

A song for those who fall with dignity—and rise in style.

I Came Back Alone

[Verse 1]

You left your records on the floor
Your cologne still lives behind the door
You said, “Don’t wait,” I said, “I won’t”
But I did—like hell—'cause I never don’t


---

[Chorus]

I came back alone
To this empty throne
You crowned someone new
But I’m still here, still true
You took your heart
But left the hurt deep
And now I wear you
In the silence I keep


---

[Verse 2]

I cleaned the sink, I dimmed the light
I drank your bourbon out of spite
You said, “We’re done,” then cracked a smile
Still I get dressed—just in case a while


---

[Chorus]

I came back alone
To this cold-ass room
You made your exit
Like a bride at noon
You changed your name
I kept my tone
But babe, I stayed
You just moved on


---

[Bridge]

My girls say, “Block him, let him rot”
But I talk tough and feel a lot
I drink alone and think of you
You haunt the glass like you used to do


---

[Final Chorus – slow burn with brass build-up]

I came back alone
Wearing black and pride
You called it over
But I never died
You lost your grip
I held my own—
So I came back alone
But baby, not unknown

I Came Back Alone

Mijn liefde, mijn bloem, mijn leven

A haze of velvet horns, broken hearts, and clever turns of phrase, Cigarettes & Figures of Speech is a smoky lounge of jazzy hip-hop ballads that speak in riddles and rhymes. Each track drifts like smoke through alleyways of memory and metaphor—crooning confessions wrapped in idioms, laid over upright basslines and dusty drums. It’s a late-night conversation between the soul and the subconscious, where every lyric is a double entendre and every beat feels like flickering candlelight. Smooth, soulful, and seductively smart—this album doesn’t just play, it speaks.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Drop into the groove with “Keep Groovin’,” a smooth blend of electro-pop and deep house energy built on soul-inspired rhythms and dreamy synth textures. It’s a celebration of movement—whether you’re on the dance floor or cruising coastal avenues.
