Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m sweatin’ bullets in December
There’s blood in my sight
All them dreams I don’t remember
Flew off in the night

Got a choir of delusions (ahhhh)
Hammerin’ in my skull
And this wheel of confusion
Keeps on turnin’ full

[Chorus]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It used to feel like home
My vice, my vice
Now it cuts me to the bone

[Verse 2]
My body’s all broken
My blood feels like sand
And the devil’s still pokin’
With his bat in my hand

My eyes stay wide open
Sleep don’t come to me
I swam an ocean of lies
And drowned in the debris

[Chorus]
Yeah, my vice, my vice
It used to calm the storm
My vice, my vice
Now it’s colder than before

[Bridge]
One bright day, I saw forever
Fall to pieces in the rain
Seven years of stormy weather
Burnin’ holes inside my brain

[Instrumental]
(Yo!)

[Verse 3]
I’m prayin’ for redemption
God, pull me through
Let me be the exception
I don’t know what else to do

[Outro]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It’s not a friend no more
My vice, my vice
Left me dying on the floor

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Once I lived in shades of sorrow
Every morning looked the same
The baggie and the needle borrowed
All my joy and left me shame
But I walked out past the garden
Where the winter melts to rain
And I saw the world unguarded
All its pleasure, all its pain

[Verse 2]
These stones have whispered stories
These rivers speak my name
What once was dull and endless
Now is wild and uncontained
The rules that used to cage me
Are as fragile as the breeze
And the shame that tried to claim me
Falls like leaves from autumn trees

[Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Like an eagle in the sky
I can see a burst of color
Where I used to crawl and hide
I have time, sweet, endless mercy
And the road runs out of sight
I can walk this path forever
And I don’t mind

[Bridge]
My mind’s a quiet lantern now
It glows but does not burn
I don’t need every answer
It’s enough to live and learn
Each breath, a small redemption
Each heartbeat, something new
I once was blind to wonder
Now the whole world comes in view

[Outro / Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Past the ruins I left behind
I can see a burst of color
And I feel the pulse of time
I will walk this road forever
In the rain or in the shine
And I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind

« La musique est pour les musiciens, le poème pour les poètes, la stupidité pour les stupides, mais l'amour est donné à celle qui le mérite. »
(Sivi le Poète, L'amour)

Aimons toujours ! Aimons encore
Victor Hugo
Aimons toujours ! Aimons encore !
Quand l’amour s’en va, l’espoir fuit.
L’amour, c’est le cri de l’aurore,
L’amour c’est l’hymne de la nuit.
Ce que le flot dit aux rivages,
Ce que le vent dit aux vieux monts,
Ce que l’astre dit aux nuages,
C’est le mot ineffable : Aimons !
L’amour fait songer, vivre et croire.
Il a pour réchauffer le coeur,
Un rayon de plus que la gloire,
Et ce rayon c’est le bonheur !
Aime ! qu’on les loue ou les blâme,
Toujours les grand coeurs aimeront :
Joins cette jeunesse de l’âme
A la jeunesse de ton front !
Aime, afin de charmer tes heures !
Afin qu’on voie en tes beaux yeux
Des voluptés intérieures
Le sourire mystérieux !
Aimons-nous toujours davantage !
Unissons-nous mieux chaque jour.
Les arbres croissent en feuillage ;
Que notre âme croisse en amour !
Soyons le miroir et l’image !
Soyons la fleur et le parfum !
Les amants, qui, seuls sous l’ombrage,
Se sentent deux et ne sont qu’un !
Les poètes cherchent les belles.
La femme, ange aux chastes faveurs,
Aime à rafraîchir sous ses ailes
Ces grand fronts brûlants et rêveurs.
Venez à nous, beautés touchantes !
Viens à moi, toi, mon bien, ma loi !
Ange ! viens à moi quand tu chantes,
Et, quand tu pleures, viens à moi !
Nous seuls comprenons vos extases.
Car notre esprit n’est point moqueur ;
Car les poètes sont les vases
Où les femmes versent leur coeurs.
Moi qui ne cherche dans ce monde
Que la seule réalité,
Moi qui laisse fuir comme l’onde
Tout ce qui n’est que vanité,
Je préfère aux biens dont s’enivre
L’orgueil du soldat ou du roi,
L’ombre que tu fais sur mon livre
Quand ton front se penche sur moi.
Toute ambition allumée
Dans notre esprit, brasier subtil,
Tombe en cendre ou vole en fumée,
Et l’on se dit :  » Qu’en reste-t-il ? « 
Tout plaisir, fleur à peine éclose
Dans notre avril sombre et terni,
S’effeuille et meurt, lis, myrte ou rose,
Et l’on se dit :  » C’est donc fini ! « 
L’amour seul reste. Ô noble femme
Si tu veux dans ce vil séjour,
Garder ta foi, garder ton âme,
Garder ton Dieu, garde l’amour !
Conserve en ton coeur, sans rien craindre,
Dusses-tu pleurer et souffrir,
La flamme qui ne peut s’éteindre
Et la fleur qui ne peut mourir !
Victor Hugo, Les contemplations, 1856

Aimons toujours

The Rain Remembers

[Verse 1]
The air is thick with sorrow
your scent still stains the sky
drops fall on my shoulders
like a beat asking me to forget
through alleys thick with secrets
I chase the ghost of you—
the rain becomes my confession
and every breath feels new

[Pre-Chorus]
I built you out of memory
from the ash and the bloom 
Now every storm that finds me
smells faintly like your bedroom

[Chorus]
The rain remembers—
sighs and perfume
It falls in patterns
where your shadow hid
each drop a heartbeat
each touch a sin—
the rain remembers
where we’ve been

[Verse 2]
The night drips off the lamplight
the streets vacant soft and low
your influence drifts on the water
where lost desires go
I bottle what’s left of hope
the scent of rain and grief—
a fragile fleeting potion
that never brings relief

[Pre-Chorus]
You fade like vapour through jasmine
I breathe but not enough—
to lose you is to loiter
in the violence of love

[Chorus]
The rain remembers—
sighs and perfume
It falls in patterns
where your shadow hid
each drop a heartbeat
each touch a sin—
the rain remembers
where we’ve been

[Bridge]
I tried to keep you
in a whiff of air—
a breath of forever
a worship I couldn’t wear

[Final Chorus]
The rain remembers—
and so do I
you fade soft and cruel
each drop a heartbeat
each fall a cry—
the rain remembers
and pulls me in each time—
the rain remembers

The Rain Remembers

How to Hold Her

[Verse 1]
She doesn’t always speak
when her world turns upside down—
sometimes she leaves the room
without taking her body with her

I want to follow frantic
like a child who broke something inside
but I’ve learned some storms
are meant to be watched from the doorway

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s got a past that knocks at my heart
wearing my voice my face my blame—
it’s unfair but fear doesn’t care
it just wants her to stay alive

[Chorus]
So I stay soft
like a blanket left on the couch
like a song low enough
to calm her heart down
She doesn’t have to speak
doesn’t have to explain—
my love will wait
my love will remain

[Verse 2]
When her breath starts to break
I whisper how to count again
Some days my love’s a lighthouse
some days just an open hand

And when she returns
fragile apologetic slow—
I tell her this isn’t her fault
she never has to glow

[Bridge]
Healing doesn’t always look like peace
sometimes it’s just staying
just not wanting
to be alone tonight

[Chorus]
So I stay soft
like a blanket left on the couch
like a song low enough
to calm her heart down
she doesn’t have to speak
doesn’t have to explain—
my love will wait
my love will remain

[Outro]
And when she breathes again
I’ll be right there—
quiet still
showing her how to hold the air

How to Hold Her

So we’re going to slow down COMPLETELY after the release of THE DARK SIDE

The song “MAKE IT RIGHT” is about breaking free from perfectionism and self-doubt. It reflects a journey toward self-acceptance, realizing that true strength comes from embracing imperfection. Instead of chasing approval or flawless performance, we should learn to live authentically — finding peace, confidence, and freedom in simply being ourselves.

LYRIC

Intro

I tried to walk a line that’s straight,
Always perfect, never late.
But the cracks inside still show,
Guess the rules won’t help me grow.

Verse

Counting every step I take,
Worried ‘bout the moves I make.
But the harder I pretend,
The less I know where I begin.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a flawless disguise,
I’ll let the real me rise.

Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Verse

Tired of wearing someone’s face,
Running in a losing race.
Now I see the truth is clear,
What I need is already here.

Pre-Chorus 

I won’t let the moment pass me by,
This is who I am inside.

Chorus

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Bridge

Every scar has told my name,
Every fault is not a shame.
Perfect’s just a losing game,
But I won’t play it.

Final Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Outro

 “I’m enough, I’m enough”

Make it right

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

“Unbroken Bond” ✍️ is about me and when I found out about my adoption and now wanting to reach out to biological family. But I don’t want to offend my mum and dad. It’s something I think about quite a lot! I’m curious to find out more about my birth roots. It’s only natural to want to meet them one day.  I was thirteen years old when my parents told me I was adopted and I was shocked at first but I think I always knew something wasn’t quite right. I have a lot of gratitude for my adopted family and they will always be my parents regardless if I reach out to my biological family. So this a reassurance and longing story about my adoption. It’s not something I usually say in person and tell people but this song can to my head and I just had to make it. My birth parents made a huge sacrifice but it have my wings for my flight and my love is unbroken even if we have never met.  My mum and dad brought me up and gave me an amazing life, I Couldn’t be more appreciative!  😢 🥰 ❤️

SONG APØCALARITY by Nova J
That crystal clear panic when shit hits the fan

[INTRO]
Yo!
Burning planet, black smoke rising
Walking dead, zombie apocalypse
Super intelligence, world is dying
Army of lemmings, march off a cliff

Turning away from the horror show

Whispers pretending not to know

Corporate vultures circling ‘round
Looming APØCALARITY
Hiding the sun behind black clouds

Standing Still (Demo) by Spirit Sound is a moving reflection on faith when life feels too overwhelming. The song’s tender piano and airy atmosphere create a sacred calm, letting every note breathe with meaning. Written by Melinda Klotz Mercer, this demo captures the quiet strength of surrender — a moment between exhaustion and renewal where stillness becomes worship. 

Shadows whisper, give up
But I won't fade away
A fragile spark inside me
Keeps the dark at bay
I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last

When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone
Paper walls of marriage
Job, I can't escape
Children drifting farther
Dreams begin to break

But I hear your quiet whisper
Through the static and the pain
I will never leave you
I am with you in the rain
The darkness tries to bind me
But your mercy pulls me near
Even in the silence
Your heart becomes my fear

I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last
When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone

Even when the quicksand rises
And I can't see the dawn
I'm anchored in your promise
You are where my strength comes from
The world keeps on moving
But I'm not lost in the chill
I'm grounded in your glory
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Standing still
