Ruby Monday (Good Enough)

She was never good enough, for all the roles they handed out in life
She waited oh so patiently, for someone who could finally see her pain

But the author never showed up in her land, at least in no way she could understand
understand for her life

She stood upon her pedestal, eating more though feeling full inside
Confusion is the final state, for all the love we confiscate with lies

And she could never ever turn the page, from years of mother’s sycophantic rage
all the rage she held inside

And the tranquilizers never did the trick, they always left her feeling somewhat sick,
sickened and alone


Friends would call with their advice, of what to do to make things right and new
But they hadn’t lived through what they spoke, their words were simply borrowed quotes and views

And their answers could never quite withstand, all the questions which a heart demands,
 a heart demands to know

Take a stroll along the shore of stillborn lives and metaphors unseen
There you’ll find a horror show of drowning souls that couldn’t let go and be

And they never ever tire of their hands, of building pretty castles in the sand,
for eternity

Met Her On Arrival

And then you met her on arrival, she stole your heart like a new religion
Devil's child wore her smile, on and on her kisses carried you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

And then you opted for denial, a buried head with blurry vision
Pure sarcasm mixed with guile, the doctor called, the symptoms must be true

-----

And then you had a premonition, a thousand things you might be missing
Deja Vu and indecision, it's crazy how they're both inside of you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

Settle down, little mama, settle down to find your way
Settle down, little lady, settle down to keep your self

Met Her On Arrival

Top of the Mornin'

This is one of those songs that’s started with a riff and keeps on growing. Deep in the woods at 3am in New Hampshire the bears are coming out of hibernation early to hear what they were missing.

Quest for Peace (Acoustic Version)

A powerful, soulful seduction.

There are many ways I could describe this song, it's layered like an onion! 

The surface-level gist of it is that it is a calling and warning to my on-again and off-again lover. I want him still, I feel like I need him, I miss him, I love him, but I am tired of waiting for him to figure himself out so that we can finally stabilize.

I am lonely, I need company, I need love, but if he cannot give it right, though I want it to be him, I will make a new him. A better, more mature him to fit my liking and desires.

I emphasise strongly on my loneliness not only by word, but by soft harmonies and hums, which act as the seduction- a siren effect that pulls in deeper so that the intensity of just how deep it is comes out.

Overall, the song is alluring. Relatable too. Who hasn't felt the need for more, for someone intimately beyond themselves? Who hasn't ever felt lonely? 

The vocals are mature and sultry. The songwriting approach flowey and poetic and the beat resonant. All put together, a creative and musical masterpiece.

Lonely

LONELY

You look so good
You look so metal
You look so good in your black eyeliner
I wanna be your flower petal
You look so metal in your black eyeliner

Oh, you look so good in your black eyeliner

You make me feel so very special
You make me tremble in your black eyeliner
You make me break
Well I'm so brittle
You make me break in your black eyeliner

Oh you look so good
You look so good in your black eyeliner

Oh you look so metal
You look so good in your black eyeliner

I'm not dead
I'm still breathing
Dressed to the nines in your black eyeliner
Turn black to red
You got me feeling
There's nothing finer than your black
Than your black eyeliner

You look so good in your black eyeliner
Oh you look so good
You got me feeling so good in your black eyeliner

Oh you look so good
You look so metal in your black eyeliner

SONG LYRICS ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Yeah run away, run away into hell 
Oh well

Today, I’m gonna drink myself away
I’m gonna take the high road to hell
This is what it has come to be (yeah)
This is how life fucked me up 

I’m gonna call my friends tonight
We’re gonna get wasted and then laid
In this life we only live this once
And it’s gonna be on my terms

Well Today…..
we goo to the club 
And we gonna get really fucked up

Tonight…….
We live like we young
Like there’s never gonna be a tomorrow

(Well yeah)
Take my drugs 
Take my time
And then repeat

Tonight….
I’m gonna take my drugs
Take my time 
And then repeat

Tonight, the night is young

Today, I’m gonna drink myself away
I’m gonna take the high road to hell
This is what it has come to be (yeah)
This is how life fucked me up 

I’m gonna call my friends tonight
We’re gonna get wasted and then laid
In this life we only live this once
And it’s gonna be on my terms

========================

Craving a night you'll remember (or maybe forget entirely)? "Highroad to Hell" is your anthem. Unleashing a middle finger to the meaninglessness of it all, cranking up the hedonism meter to eleven. Blast the speakers, grab your crew, and prepare to chase fleeting pleasure through a haze of drugs, booze, and bad decisions. It's a soundtrack for living in the moment, even if it burns everything down. Because screw tomorrow, tonight we dance with the devil. You down?

Highroad To Hell!
