Hi. Thanks for listening. I’m a writer and producer who uses AI tools to turn my words into music. This became my “healthy hobby” after a long battle with addiction. I’m now gratefully sober. I’m open to collaborating with other artists. From broken bones to broken hearts to beautiful love (and loss). All these songs are written by me and deeply personal. If you like what you hear, please hit LIKE and REPOST. I don’t monetize my music but I do hope it can reach someone else out there going through life’s ups and downs. Thank you.-Nova J

SUPREMACY:SIMULATION

COLLIDE by Nova J

Ahmmmm

I woke up from anesthesia
Found out I was black and blue
Traced the bruises on my body
(Back to you) Back to you

I was running from the heartache
But I knew I couldn’t fake
Kept on using ‘til I’d break
The biggest dose that I could take

The pain hits like a freight train
Right when all the drugs subside
The tracks are lined with bodies
When you and I collide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh…)
You and I collide

(Collide… collide…)
I almost died
(Collide… collide…)
But I survived

Now I’m lying in this bed by
Hooked up to a machine
My hands are shaking, I’m deleting
Every photo of you and me
(You and me…) You and me
(You and me)

Now I might be lying down
But I swear I’ll soon be free
Walking through my hometown
Without your shadow haunting me

The pain hits like a freight train
Right when all the drugs subside
The tracks are lined with bodies
When you and I collide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh…)
You and I collide

(Collide… collide…)
I almost died
(Collide… collide…)
But I survived

COLLIDE

Shut up, sit pretty By NOVA J

Shut up. Sit pretty.
In this pretty city.
Think about blinkin’?
Don’t. That’s a pity.

Daddy gonna cut you off.
Piggy at the trough.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty.

Hands folded. Smile wide.
Mouth shut. Swallow pride.
Heels high. Head low.
That’s the only way it goes.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Hush that mouth.
Take what you get—don’t dare call out.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty’d.

Diamonds tight around your throat.
Wrapped up pretty, velvet rope.
Let ‘em stare. Let ‘em touch.
But don’t you ever ask for much.

Daddy keeps the power on.
But it’s a loan—it won’t last long.
Play your part. Keep it tight.
Smile sweet. Say goodnight.

Hands folded. Smile wide.
Mouth shut. Swallow pride.
Heels high. Head low.
That’s the only way it goes.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Hush that mouth.
Take what you get—don’t dare call out.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty’d.

Cage is gold. Walls too tall.
Dressed up. Stripped down. Watch you fall.
Dance on strings. Smile through pain.
Deep inside, you curse his name.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Shut up, sit pretty

IN TOKYO by NOVA J

Taxi riding to Roppongi
I am eyeing on the crowd
Lookin’ for lover in the Red Hat
Don’t say his name too loud
They call him Precious he’s a bouncer
At the Mongolian strip club
Meet in the bathroom for a dime bag
Then stick it where you want some love

You best be careful of the police
Don’t wanna look too rough
Your best disguise is dressin’ preppy
You’ll take it all off at the club

(And when you get there)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Wait for the signal close to midnight
When Nova J’eyenah lights her smoke
Order a cocktail with a wink-eye
Then laugh like you just heard a joke
Slip the baggie in your left sock
The bouncer does not check too deep
You got ten minutes in the back lot
Before the rich boys start to creep

They’re sniffin’ powder off their car keys
Callin’ you “Daddy” just for fun
But don’t you dare forget the plan, babe
We disappear before the sun.

(But right now we are)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Oh not again
It’s 5AM
what’s his name?
Oh missed my train
I will behave
Another day (another day day day day day)

In Tokyo

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Lyrics IPG1:
Cloud Stepping (Chorus) Life is relative, 
to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, 
to giving and taking it 
Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few 
we have can nearly fit
(Verse1) 
If we knew it all, and all, and all 
Then nothing would matter It’s all a puzzle to be solved 
We have always been the answer 
The plan of god without reward 
Evolves in different ways 
We are all awake in different dreams 
To let the devil play
(Verse2)
 Who amongst us hear the screams 
Of millions of lives lost,  and don’t look on it as savagery
 And wonder what’s the cost 
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost 
Are we listening or not 
Are we listening or not
(Chorus)
 Life is relative, to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, to giving and taking it Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few we have can nearly fit

Inside My Heart Lives The Blues
By DPmusicUk 

🎸 

🎶 

Stone cold morning...
No sun in the sky...
I drag my shadow...
Can't figure out why.

🎶 

Dust in my lungs air feels like knives.

[🎶 

Heavy on my chest can't shake it loose...
Inside my heart lives the blues.

🎶 

The blues, the blues...
Oh they're stuck like glue.

Inside my heart lives the blues.

🎸 

🎶 

Thunder in my veins...
Rattles my bones...
Wandered through fire...
Now I'm all alone.

🎶 

Can't find the way back to where I belong.

🎶 

Every step I take it's a bitter noose...
Inside my heart lives the blues.

🎶 

The blues, the blues...
Oh they're stuck like glue...

Inside my heart lives the blues.

🎸 

🎶 

Thunder in my veins...
Rattles my bones...
Wandered through fire...
Now I'm all alone.

🎶 

Can't find the way back to where I belong.

🎶 

Every step I take it's a bitter noose...
Inside my heart lives the blues.

🎶 

The blues, the blues...
Oh they're stuck like glue...

Inside my heart lives the blues.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

🎶 

The blues, the blues...
Oh they're stuck like glue...

Inside my heart lives the blues.

|| Ataraxia ||

[at-uh-rak-see-uh]
noun

Philosophy.
a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety, especially as an ongoing condition of soul-fulfilling attainment; unconditional tranquility.
I’m not looking to achieve ataraxia—I just want a week (life) away from the daily grind.
+
(Sometimes things are best when reimagined)

Freedom is a state of mind
Happiness is a concept
You can create the life you love
Take control
Slay those demons
Break the bonds (addictions / fears) that enslave you

Empower yourself 
Seize the moment
The time is now

The Heart May Break

You are better off without me. 


Verse 1: 

I'll never forget that last day I kissed your cheek. I never imagined that from that afternoon on I'd never see you again.

Verse 2: 

Everything clouded over in my heart. You were a part of my life, and in your absence, everything was lost. I cried trying to understand why you were leaving. Until I understood that I deserved it.

Bridge: 

Now I see clearly. I respect your distance. I even confess that it's fare what happened.

Chorus: 

You're better off without me. Your friends tell me so. That your lips smile more and you look fuller. You're better off without me. I saw it in your photographs. Your eyes shine brighter, and you even look more beautiful. I only pray for you every day, convinced that I loved you very much, but I didn't understand the meaning. And now that you're gone, I faint from your absence, and in my loneliness, for all I've done wrong, I beg for mercy. 

Verse 3: 

I remember your words, your laughter, your silences. Everything that made me happy, now everything is uncertain. I wonder if you'll ever think of me, or if I'm dead to you.
 
I wonder if you'll ever think of me, if you'll remember my name... and my existence


Español 

Estás mejor sin mi. 

Verso 1: 

"Jamás olvidaré, ese último día que tu mejilla besé.
 Nunca imaginé, que desde esa tarde ya no te vería otra vez"

 Verso 2: 

"Todo se nubló en mi corazón, 
eras parte de mi vida 
y en tu ausencia 
todo se perdió. 

Lloraba intentando comprender por qué te ibas. 
Hasta que entendí, que eso me lo merecía"

 Puente: 

"Ahora veo claro, respeto tu distancia, incluso te confieso que fue justo lo que pasa"

Coro: 

 "Estás mejor sin mí, me lo dicen tus amigas, 
que sonríen más tus labios y te ves más rellenita 
 Estás mejor sin mí
lo vi en tus fotografías, 
tus ojos brillan más
 y se te ve hasta más bonita.

Yo sólo rezo por ti todos los días convencido, 
de que te quise mucho 
pero no supe el sentido. 
Y ahora que no estás, 
desfallezco por tu ausencia, 
y en mi soledad, 
por todo lo que hice mal, 
te pido clemencia.


Verso 3:

 "Recuerdo tus palabras, tus risas, tus silencios. 
Todo lo que me hacía feliz, 
ahora todo es incierto. 
Me pregunto si alguna vez pensarás en mí, o si para ti estoy muerto."

Coro: 

"Estás mejor sin mi, 
me lo dicen tus amigas, 
que sonríen más tus labios y te ves más rellenita. 

Estás mejor sin mi, 
lo vi en tus fotografías,
 tus ojos brillan más, 
y se te ve hasta más bonita.

 Yo sólo rezo por ti, 
 todos los días convencido, 
de que te quise mucho
 pero no supe el sentido. 
Y ahora que no estás, 
desfallezco por tu ausencia, 
y en mi soledad, 
por todo lo que hice mal, 
te pido clemencia.

Me pregunto si alguna vez pensarás en mí, si recordarás mi nombre...y mi existencia..

WASTELAND by Nova J

[VERSE 1]
I’m not quite here, I’m not quite there
I can’t stop scrolling in my underwear
I’m not talking, you’re not talking, just an empty stare
Searching for another body somewhere close to here

[PRE-CHORUS]
If I’m being honest, I knew there was no connection
But I was high, supplies ran dry, and I don’t need perfection

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

[VERSE 2]
The sun has risen, the sheets are red
Your body like a dead fish, lifeless on the bed
My arms resemble spider webs, this pounding in my head
I really need to sleep, but I prefer to tweak instead

[PRE-CHORUS]
But now I’ve got a problem, the fact is you’re still near
I tell a lie and say goodbye and get you out of here

[BRIDGE]
I hope that you don’t hate me, I hope you’ll understand
It’s not my row, I blame the snow, I’m not that kind of man

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 

[VOCAL BREAK]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[VERSE 3]
Oh, I swear things will be better this way
There’s a needle hiding somewhere in this burning pile of hay
I did not find it last week or last night and not today
But I know if I keep hunting, I will find true love someday

[VERSE 4]
I refuse to settle, I refuse to compromise
I refuse to tell the truth, and now I’m lost in all the lies
My leather tongue no longer tastes my mother’s rhubarb pie
I’m hiding from the sun, and drinking blood like a vampire

[FINAL CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[OUTRO]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

A parody of life with my family 😂


A wee lass said tae me just yesterd’y 
Ye can choose a mate but no yer DNA 
Yer maw’s a screamer yer da’s a loon 
And yer uncle Tam’s been barred fae the toon  

You can pick yer pals but no yer family 
They're like tatties Ye get what ye see 
Some are braw Some are daft as can be 
You can pick yer pals but no yer family

SUPREMACY:SIMULATION by Nova J

[Part 1: "Supremacy"]

[Verse 1]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 2]
In the thirst for intelligence
Death by dehydration
Parasites of inconvenience 
This is how it ends
In the ashes of ruin
Stop, stop, and go
In the midday microwave
Down in the dark below
In the afterglow of impending doom
In the land of the dead
Be…gone, gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
In the land of the dead
Be…Be gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 1 Repeat]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days
End of days
End of days

[Part 2: "Simulation"]

[Verse]
You awake and the game has ended
In a floating city in the blood red sky
Our humanity is just pretendin’
We don’t live and we don’t die
There’s a black box with billions of us all
The universe up in a cloud
Mapping humanity’s rise and fall
You’re just trying to figure it out
What did you learn from your time alive?
Did you crack the code?
Love is the only way to survive
Nothing else matters when you’re old

[Outro]
(Simulation)
Simulation
(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)
Simulation 
(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)
Simulation
(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)
Simulation
(Simulation) of life of life

[Instrumental close]
