appreciating what i've gained from what i've lost

--------------------------------------------

Looking at pictures of the past
I see that time doesn't last
Hoping to keep this forever
and that this picture in my heart can stand the weather

Stories take me back
make me wish for something we lack
Hoping to keep this forever
and that this picture in my heart can stand the weather

Millions of pieces scatter in the wind
Fragmented portals to people I never knew
By a bookcase that's falling apart
We don't know where to start

Millions of pieces burst into flames
Ashes tell me that it wont be the same
Let me be here with a castle of sand
Before it all falls apart

Balance

Arpeggiated rhythm guitar in the intro by Kino!
----------------------------------
I stare into the eyes
that stare back at me
Frozen in place, I keep the pace
Walking in the air, never moving, in place

Scenes go by on a computer screen
Grains of sand that slip through my eye's hand
Holding hope for something better than what is seen
Invisible people that can't tell me why

The people in the street
They don't mean anything to you or me
The people in the street
They don't care about you or me

I stare into the eyes
that stare back at me
Hold yourself close, the threads go deeper
Sowing together broken mirrors with light

Deeper and deeper, does it ever stop?
Landing in my mind, filling to the top

And what it means to say anything
And what it means to be anything
what you would say to me
And what it means to say anything
And what it means to be anything
what I was to you

What I Want

Getting back in the groove.

Lyrics:
Lets see what there's to say
too much and too little, turn away
Let's see what there's to say
warnings and mournings for your casket
Turning and turning, you're going too fast
slow down and see the past

Free, free to be what you want to be
Let go, all the words and ideas
A web of subtleties that melt the mind

A maze in a maze
its just another phase
Another phrase to take you around
in circles of worlds
that make a body feel worthless
and life like a boardgame

Life
slow and steady
Inside
light, time

Let Go

Take some time to think
------------------------
I say
what I think is right
I hope you understand me

And I say
what I think i would want from you
but its not enough,
no its not enough

Take my life
Take my time
who I thought i was
in my life

What can I say
to help you understand?
What can I say
to be true to myself?

What does it mean
to make me what I could be?
What can I be
to you?

What can I say
to make the pain go away?
What can I do?

Hello, I'm talkin to you
Hello, I know that nothing could be said
But what I feel is something inside
that I can't deny
And I hope that you can see it too

Las nubes mueven y cambian
de formas que nunca podria imaginar
Lo que era
Y lo que sea
Cambian de color y formas
un caleidoscopio lleno de memorias

Frustration and anger and sadness will hold you back
The good times, the bad times, I cant keep track
Twist and turn to mix into something new
Forms of forms
and nothing new

Life can take a lot of meaning
hammer it out into something to keep
Faking comfort isn't that deep
and I cant seem to take that leap

Caleidoscopio

Now with real drums! Originally released on 24 May 2023

Thanks to my dad for playing the guitar solo at the end of the song
-----

I need to take care of my business
but I am witness
to all I see

To say that all we do, it misses
that life is friction
for us to be

I knew that
nothing could take
nothing could take away

Why do that?
all that we take
all that we take away

What we will take is endless
avoiding consequence
of all these creeds

But life finds ways to really end it
and return again
to all I see

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

There's somethin about you changin
I don't know what to make of it
I feel my hands are shaking
and my mind is being taken

What's the point of all this fakin
when I can be happy in my haven
tell me
tell me

The deeper I go
The more I hate the flow
I go up the waterfall
and see that nothings changed

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

Focus on the flow
of the river as it goes
and hear the life around, hope

Life goes on
and time too
Stand still to find
our kind in life

The peace you find within yourself
the peace to sit, be fine
Create a world inside your mind
to be kind

Focus

Take me around the block
And I know that I wont be caught
Take me around the block
And I know that I wont be caught

And would you tell me, tell me its true
But what you tell me, wont come true

So I'll say what I want to be
And I'll say what I want to see
And I'll say something insane

You cant stop
can stop thinking
and I cant stop
Cant stop winning
And nothing 
Nothing could be said anymore
Lets see
Let's see what will happen
I'll trust you
And I'll be 
waiting for something else to be

I put my faith in something I can't see
I put my faith in something I can't be
I hope, I hope
I hope that you will take me there
I hope, I hope
I hope that you will take me there
I believe in everything I said and feel
I know, take me there

Mind Melter

Grab my keys
And walk out the door
I dont want to look back

I'm going somewhere I hope to see
but cannot be

There I see the clouds
There I see the sky and sun

Walking in time
with the crowded streets of my mind
Doesn't mean anything
to you
to me

Turn around
Dont look back
Keep going and you'll end up somewhere safe

Meditation

Heart

Idea 4

Solid feelings
In my life
Am I steering
The way I ride?

Alone in my head
All night wondering

Centered and alive
Its so hard to find
Nothing is what I thought it was

Look me in the eyes
Liquid heart we'll find
Something that I thought we'd define

Solid Feelings

Your times up, I say goodbye
I just know that nothing's right
Red hands grasp the air
blue arms crossed in despair

The castles built don't mean a thing
when every brick we see within
mixing paint inside the sink
when we wont stop to think

Swirling colors that just wont mix
spirals twisting bit by bit
and looking further into it
will ensure that nothing fits
look away, and turn off the lights
lets talk about that another time

Coughing blood into the air
I hate that you're close to me
Let's talk a while longer, don't be afraid
I'll make you and I so happy

Paint inside the sink

Thanks to Hidenori Maezawa for inspiring me to pick up this medium.

A melody that's been stuck in my head. I decided to make a song out of it based on variations of the theme.

Made using Famitracker using the 2A03/2A07 Module.

The main challenge in making this song was that the limitations of using the default module. I could only have three sounds playing simultaneously. I had to put multiple instruments in one channel. Interestingly, this limitation made the music much denser, as the only way to add variation to the song was through filling in the gaps between sounds.

Drops

fumbling around. Featuring my dad on lead guitar and reverby guitar
-----------------------------------------------------
What you said was nothing special

A bird is the word you said to me, it doesn't mean anything to you or me
And in my head I said what it could mean to me, nothing was to mean my time
And what I was, to be something else in my head

Nothing you could say to me, would ever mean a thing to be a part of me

Nothing would ever mean a thing to me
And I to you was something else entirely
Whatever it means to you, or it means to me

Happy
