NJ your words… mesmerizing. Come on man, where does it come from? Amazing tune!

I love this track from the start to the end! The delay or whatever you used in the intro on the synth pad is awesome! Minimalistic rhythm track arrangement is powerful and your bass, HOLY CHIT MAN! 100% Bass Beast Reid approved! Very cool and relaxed vibe and amazing vocals and melody. I REALLY LOVE THIS TRACK! My favorite lines is your whole chorus….”without the sun, the peach will blacken” is especially poignant. I love your subtle and barely audible parts like at :57 seconds I heard the echo (one reason I love listening with headphones) Love the delay on the synth pads at 3:30. The moaning vocals at 3:11 are KILLER! I know this is a disjointed paragraph but didn’t have the attention span left to edit it. You get my message, right?

I am now a fan. love all your songs.🎶🎶👍👏👏

RABBIT HOLES by NOVA J

I know it’s an unhealthy obsession
Afraid of things that haven’t happened
I’ve never been this happy in my whole life
May I introduce… my sappy crazy side

(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes
In my head
I picture the end
(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I pray
That you will stay
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

I know I have a tendency to overanalyze
Decode the mystery behind your amber eyes
You say you’re not the type to leave
But that’s what the last one said to me

(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes
Every look
I read like a book
(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I pray
That you will stay
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

Tell me it’s safe
Tell me it’s real
Don’t make me hurt
Help me to heal
Is this a trap?
Is this a test?
Are you a rat…
Just like the rest?

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I breathe
I believe
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

(Down I go — into rabbit holes)
In my head
I picture the end
(Down I go — into rabbit holes)
Every look
I read like a book

Rabbit holes

Don’t get cross baby

Shadow in the Vein

[Verse 1]
A fragile beat beneath my skin
echoes fall where silence has been
your breath a lantern in the storm
flickers soft then fades unborn

[Pre-Chorus]
Gravity pulls where the heart won’t stay
the night bends low but it won’t give way
every word you left still trembling
like glass that hums before it’s breaking

[Chorus]
Shadow in the vein
fire in the flood—
you keep pulling me closer
even as we come undone

Whispers in the dark
light I can’t contain—
retrograde desire
teardrop in the vein

[Verse 2]
I saw your face inside the blur
part remembered part cursed
Time collapses folds in two
everything I lost comes back as you

[Pre-Chorus]
Gravity pulls where the heart won’t stay
the night bends low, but it won’t give way
Every secret carved in your refrain
is a ghost that tugs on my chain

[Chorus]
Shadow in the vein
fire in the flood—
you keep pulling me closer
even as we come undone

 Whispers in the dark
light I can’t contain—
retrograde desire
teardrop in the vein

[Bridge]
Fall into the silence
fall into the sound—
your voice is the current
I can’t turn around

Everything in fragments
everything erased—
still I hear you calling
from the retrograde

[Final Chorus]
Shadow in the vein
fire in the flood—
you keep pulling me closer
even as we come undone

Whispers in the dark
light I can’t contain—
retrograde desire
teardrop in the vein

[Outro]
Teardrop retrograde
Teardrop retrograde

Shadow in the Vein

Hello

BREAK ME FROM THIS CAGE by Nova J

[Intro]
(Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm)
Break me from this cage
Take me out and make me feel alive
I’m too young to live this way

[Verse 1]
Put me on a plane
I want to go somewhere far away
Because I can’t survive another day
Anyway
(Anyway)
Anyway

[Build]
Break me from this cage
Because I want to be a star in space
And they all know my name

[Drop 1]
Put me on a plane
Fly me from this place
Because I don’t follow their ways
Take me half a world away

[Breakdown]
And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear with you
Into the heavenly blue

[Drop 2]
And if a missile shoots us down
Scatters us all over town
To be blown up with you
Would be my pleasure absolute

[Chorus 2]
Break me from this cage
Release me from this maze
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready
(I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready)

[Interlude]
And in the back of a taxi cab
I feel my time has come at last
And suddenly I’m gripped by fear
I tell the driver to turn back

[Drop 3]
Break me from this cage
Release me from this maze
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready

[Verse 2]
Put me on a plane
I want to go somewhere far away
Because I can’t survive another day
Anyway
(Anyway)

[Bridge]
And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear
Into the heavenly blue
(And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear
Into the heavenly blue
With you)

[Drop 4]
And if a missile shoots us down
Scatters us all over town
To be blown up with you
Would be my pleasure absolute

[Outro]
Ohhh
Oh, I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
(Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm)

Break me from this cage

Gone wrong

"No Truth Do I Find" is ZEMANDAN’s reimagined take on the track “Things I Do for Love.” Stripped of illusions, this version dives deeper into the shadows of desire, obsession, and betrayal. With hypnotic electronic layers and haunting vocals, it transforms the original theme into something darker and more cinematic — a confession of love’s sacrifices where every answer only leads to more questions.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The long days undo me
Holidays leave me bare
The silence is fatal
The shadows are there

[Verse 2]
The fantasies flicker
They left me long ago
Desire was a masquerade
Shame the only show

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Verse 3]
I counted the bodies
The beds, and the names
I traded my tenderness
For a ritual of games
It was not joy, not despair
Just the dullness of years
Asking, how am I still here?

[Verse 4]
Every act leaves its scar
Karma knocks at the door
I meant no cruelty
But cruelty was born
I lie when I rise
I lie when I fall
My house is in ruins
There’s no house at all

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Outro]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This double life was never yours to carry
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

PEACH — Track 7 of 8 from VICE by Nova J

Shedding Skin

[Intro]
You were small
heavy eyes in a paper doll face
facing a tall figure too loud to ignore
and yet you are here

[Verse 1]
Tiny mind in a thunder dome
a tall shape carved out of bone
greedy hands on a selfish throne
you learned to survive alone
coping felt like too much breathing
but the air was never fresh
you swallowed every shriek
just to keep your body clean

[Pre-Chorus]
Twisted knives ripping at your chest
you wore it like skin
but your heart needed to scream
no one could hear but you

[Chorus]
Through the tangles through the shame
you’re more than the pain
more than the fear
you’re peeling back time
burning away behind your eyes
just shedding skin
take a step back and begin again

[Verse 2]
Buried deep in crooked rooms
memories bloom like toxic fumes
but light leaks in where cracks have formed
your body screams—you were warned
Let it rise let it scream
let the shadows lose their queen
you are more than what you coped
more than silence more than hope

[Bridge]
Eyes closed
Breathe in
Breathe out
Look down fall through the dark
Eyes wide open
You’re almost out
Look up
The body knows
Take the leap
The mind forgets what’s hidden
Listen in the deep where the rhythm can reset
It’s time

[Final Chorus]
Through the tangles through the shame
you’re more than the pain
more than the fear
you’re peeling back time
burning away behind your eyes
peeling off skin
burn it all and begin again

[Outro]
And still you did
And now you will take back broken lullabies

Shedding Skin

Gently Layered Tribal Percussion Dusky Hand Drums And Intricate Shakers Underpinning Airy Ambient Textures And Lush Field Recordings. Melodic Synths Slowly Weave In, Fluttering Above Organic Low-End Pulses. Ethereal Female Vocals Float Through, Intimate Yet Wide In The Mix. Each Section Adds Evolving Atmospheres, Growing In Warmth And Spaciousness. The Breakdown Opens With Spacious Pads And Subtle Mallet Melodies, Before Reintroducing The Groove, Achieving A Gently Euphoric, Enveloping Finish.
