Machine Heart

 Is it the pen that bleeds the words
Or the voice that soars like unseen birds
Is it the beat that shakes the ground
Or the silence that wraps the sound

The heart of a song

 "A "quiet storm" personality refers to individuals who possess intense and passionate feelings but express them in a subtle, understated way. They may not be loud or boisterous, but they have a powerful presence and a deep well of emotions that can erupt unexpectedly. "

Lyrics:

Drifting in and out, like shadows in the moon
Quiet but loud, in the stillness of the room
A riddle that is confusing, a walking contradiction
Lost in a trance, oh what a dance


Laser-like focus, with dreams that flare bright
No time for small talk, it just drains the light
Overthinking the moments, yet trusting the fall
A hermit craving connection, finding solace in all


Do not disturb, I wear the weight of the world
Shining in chaos, as my spirit is winding
A cryptic poem on the edge of despair
Dying inside to find beauty is so rare


A hopeless soul, painting skies in the mind
Rather be alone, than settle and bind
Craving depth but not drama treading softly through
Choosing battles like flowers, in a garden of blue


Hunger to grow, to evolve in time
A secret rebel, where the heart is always fine
Low key rebellion, with a whisper so clear
Change without chaos leads to hope but not fear


Love deeply and fight, in silence to grow
In the heart of the storm, there's a quiet glow
As the winds of my longing lull me to rest
I drift through the night, searching for the best

[Verse]
I wanna talk to God
But I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long
I've been alone
But damn
I'ma stand on my own
And if the whole world fallin'
I ain't even callin' home
The past is just the past
The present's all we have
The future
You can keep it
I can't see it
I can't see it

[Chorus]
I've been
Goin' so hard for so long
The end don't feel too far gone
And the world is still spinnin'
Ain't no way that I could see myself losin'
And the night ain't finished
Ain't no way that I could see myself snoozin'
They say we ain't got no future
But that's okay
That's okay
We gon' die today

[Verse 2]
I wanna talk to God
But I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long
I've been alone
But damn
I'ma stand on my own
And if the whole world fallin'
I ain't even callin' home
The past is just the past
The present's all we have
The future
You can keep it
I can't see it
I can't see it

[Chorus]
I've been
Goin' so hard for so long
The end don't feel too far gone
And the world is still spinnin'
Ain't no way that I could see myself losin'
And the night ain't finished
Ain't no way that I could see myself snoozin'
They say we ain't got no future
But that's okay
That's okay
We gon' die today

[Bridge]
I feel it in my soul
The world is spinnin' slow
The future
You can keep it
I can't see it
I can't see it

[Chorus]
I've been
Goin' so hard for so long
The end don't feel too far gone
And the world is still spinnin'
Ain't no way that I could see myself losin'
And the night ain't finished
Ain't no way that I could see myself snoozin'
They say we ain't got no future
But that's okay
That's okay
We gon' die today

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.
