Experience a bold reimagining of the Lotus Sutra mantra, where traditional Japanese elements meet contemporary electronic production. Beginning with reverent chanting of 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,' the track transforms as vocal melismas soar and interweave with haunting shakuhachi flute passages.

As hypnotic trance beats emerge, the ancient and modern dance together - gentle shamisen notes float beneath while voice and flute engage in an ethereal conversation, each echoing the other's ascending patterns. The mantra's final syllable becomes a transcendent journey of its own, spiraling upward like incense through temple air.

Perfect for meditation, spiritual practice, or anyone drawn to the intersection where sacred traditions meet innovative sound design. This unique interpretation honors both the power of the ancient mantra and the possibilities of modern production.

Lotus Sutra Mantra

Lyrics:

I talked about you to the moon
i hadn’t done so since last June
she told me i was ready to let go of the wounds
you left in me

its been 4 years
and i still cry about the way
you wouldn’t stop crying

‘cause you hurt me
in invisible ways
wether you meant to or not
it all stings the same

but the day i left you 
and hopped on that plane
you must know i left myself too

i had a dream about you last night
my subconscious keeps bringing you to light
i told you i was in love with someone else
and you didn’t take it so well
 
‘cause you hurt me
in invisible ways
wether you meant to or not
it all stings the same

but the day i left you 
and hopped on that plane
you must know i left myself too

and i stayed with you
after you lost your mind
and closed your eyes
and crashed your car

and i stayed with you
after losing all my friends
and all my dignity
and all my worth

while you made me responsible
for your depression
(i know you didn’t mean to gash me)
but don’t you know actions speak louder
than intentions?

‘cause you hurt me
in invisible ways
wether you meant to or not
it all stings the same

but the day i left you 
and hopped on that plane
you must know i left myself too

you must know i left myself too

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU (Demo)

I Felt It Too

This is a song about a very important person in my life. 

But don't think of them. Think of the one person in YOUR life that means so so SO much to you, but its just SO HARD to say it. :))

This is a song for them.

Call me when you get home - (Acoustic)

This song dives into the controversy surrounding Trump and Musk, with lyrics that critique Trump's stance and actions. The tone is defiant and sarcastic, highlighting the tension between the two figures. It's a commentary on power dynamics, freedom, and rebellion, with a clear message about the consequences of unchecked power. 

The feud between Trump and Musk escalated after Musk criticized the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act, which Trump was backing. Trump retaliated by threatening to use the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate Musk's business contracts and even suggested deporting him. My song captures the essence of this clash, emphasizing the importance of standing up against oppression and being aware of the power dynamics at play. 

The lyrics drive home the point that Trump's actions have unintended consequences, and his threats against Musk only fuel the fire. By using Musk's situation, I'm commenting on the broader implications of Trump's actions and the importance of holding those in power accountable.

I can't stand Musk almost as much as Trump, but I do respect that he stood up against Trump's Big Beautiful Lie.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In a world where silence screams, and power wears a crown
A whisper sparks a firestorm, the empire’s burning down
The richest man, the rebel king, now stands beneath the flame
Once praised by suits and sycophants, now caught in someone’s game 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He’s no martyr, no messiah
But he spoke when few would dare
Now the tyrant lifts the hammer
And the mask begins to tear 

[Chorus]
Deport the dreamer, break the code
Let freedom choke on its own throne
First-class chaos, irony’s war
The exile knocks on freedom’s door
You made him loud, you made him vast
Now watch him rise when you cast him last
Your cage can’t hold what you set ablaze
This is the end of your golden days 

[Verse 2]
He played with fire, fed the wolves, let poison roots take hold
He laughed as bridges turned to ash, as mercy turned to cold
But now he stands before the blade, a scapegoat dressed in tech
For daring just to call a lie the name it hides beneath its neck 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s no law in twisted kingdoms
Only vengeance in disguise
Strip the papers, burn the records
But truth still never dies

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Flash of steel beneath the torch, the courtroom’s blood runs thin
While fascists paint with pride again, and call their purge a win
The cattle class was never safe, but now the kings must kneel
To autocrats who twist the law to match what they feel real 

[Verse 4]
I don't forgive the sins he's sown, or praise the empire's hand
But when he spoke against the throne, I finally saw him stand
Not as a saint or broken lamb, not as a noble knight—
But as a crack within the wall that’s starving out the light 

[Bridge]
Let the skies revoke his passport
Let the fire write the tale
You may banish him from borders
But his voice will never pale
He’s the shadow of your ego
He’s the ghost you cannot cage
And when power turns to poison
Even tyrants taste the rage 

[Chorus]

[Final Chorus]
Strike down the flawed to feel control
But you can't silence fractured soul
You built this myth, now burn it down
His voice still echoes underground
He’s no hero—but he’s awake
And he will haunt what power takes
You crown the night, you dim the sun
But this revolt has just begun 

Deport the future, call it law
Build your temple on the flaw
But every throne begins to rust
When built on lies and broken trust
He’s not my cause, not my crusade
But I’ll stand here unafraid
To see your empire twist and fall
You never ruled us all

[Outro]
So go ahead…
Deport your monster, stage the show
But you forget—he helped you grow
Now his fall becomes your mirror
And in the smoke, the world sees clearer
You gave him wings to feed your pride…
Now pray he doesn't turn the tide.
