Stay Under” (studio version) showcases the song’s most determined side: gritty guitars, energetic production, and Sophie’s intense voice moving through melancholy and strength. It’s a key chapter of Eileen Noise, where grunge embraces deep emotion.

Produced by EileenNoise
Singer Sophie


[Verse]
She struts like a queen on a broken throne
Shadows trail her but she walks alone
Her laughter cuts like a jagged knife
Living chaos is her way of life

[Chorus]
Stay under my feet
Your crown's incomplete
Stay under my feet
You're no throne elite

[Verse 2]
She spits out venom in every word
A firestorm that's never deferred
Her smirk burns hotter than the sun
But her battles are never really won

[Chorus]
Stay under my feet
Your crown's incomplete
Stay under my feet
You're no throne elite

[Bridge]
She thinks she’s lightning but she's just a spark
Roaming blindly in the endless dark
She howls rebellion but it's just a scream
Lost in the void of her twisted dream

[Chorus]
Stay under my feet
Your crown's incomplete
Stay under my feet
You're no throne elite

Stay Under

“While You Down” is an experimental alt rock piece that dives deep into emotional fragility, love, and the aching weight of unresolved pain. With emo rock undertones and raw vocal delivery, this track captures that feeling of being trapped in your own head — holding onto someone who might be the only light in the darkness. It’s about being there for someone in their lowest moments, while battling your own.

Happy b-day Abi.  His fave director is Stanely Kubrick. I asked him to rec me a film last year and he said “Happiness with Philip Seymour Hofman.” I thought it was creative and funny and sad. He has higher moral standards than me. Found his gf perverted.  I would have called it kinky. I was going to tell him to lower his standards but if someone said, “maybe you should cheat”to me I’d say “no” cos a)your gf is supposed to be one of your best friends and b)it’s disrespectful. If I treat one of my best friends with disrespect how can I treat my friends well?  So I think Abi should do Abi. Other than that Abi sent me a pic and I told him he looked a bit like Rami Malek. He wasn’t too fond of that but Rami Malek isn’t bad looking and Abi looks 16.

I thought the whole song was A Dorian but it’s actually A dorian b2 alternating with A dorian for the verses.  I came up with the riff and wanted to make it more complex so I used the same strumming technique for ‘Can’t Stop.’ First time I used hand clicks for a song and also first time I’ve kept an entire song all modal. Thought the vocal phrasing was quite ZZ Ward for the verse and I wanted to  make it more hard rock sounding like Soundgarden. So the verses sound quite ZZ Garden or Soundward (Squidward). The bass in the verses is playing a simplified version of the bass line in ‘Come Together.’ I do like the vocal phrasing for ‘yet in the mix I found joy’ for the chorus. First time I’m doing that much falsetto for lead which is inspired by QOTSA. Some counter melodies for the beginning of verse 2. Fave use of counter melody is probably the 2nd half of ‘Emotion Sickness’ from Silverchair. I added some congas and wanted the same rhythm as the percussion from ‘Roots Bloody Roots’ but I decided to keep things simple and accent the 2 vocal syllables.. Then, the last chorus I was going to copy paste my piano parts but accidentally copy pasted my lead guitar over and that improved the groove.

Lyrics: Written by SGOR. Some guy on reddit. Lost contact. If it sounds like it was written an angsty teen that’s cos’ it was written by an angsty teen. Terrific message about finding empathy. Not sure about how death fits into all this.  ‘There can be miracles when you believe’ is cheesy on paper but I don’t think it’s cheesy when you hear it. ‘If you squeeze my lizard I’ll put my snake on you’ is ridiculous on paper but badass when you hear it. Depends on vocal tone, phrasing, delivery, and melody.

Stranded on a desert planet, lost in my own curse,
As if I caused a cataclysm, but all I did was change.
I was Found in the mud, like a coin in ruin's dust,
Polished up, made to fake, like I hadn't seen the rust.
Hear a beating heart in the darkness,
I've been lost, I've been found, I've wandered so long,
I found myself in you, but in the end, it wasn't me I found.

Ride with me through the storms of life, (it was fly with me originally and I am not singing that)
Let our hopes shine bright,  (it was light shine bright originally)
Like we've been struck by lightning, 
Revealed 
As something in the night.
I came to life when loss became real,
Felt pain and sympathy,
Yet in that mix, I found joy, found a way to be.
Am I cursed? I'll never know, but I'll embrace it all,
Life is its own limit, 
perfection in its sprawl.
The final goodbye, the chill of death, it comes for us all,

Running through the lost ruins of an apocalypse. (I wanted to give some more sensory elements to a song that was very much ‘in its feelings. So I matched the idea of a cataclysm. Took about 10 secs to type out)
Found myself with spears and arrows and feeling generous
Smeared my face in mud, like an Indian warchief
I’ve been dead, I’ve come to life, I’ve wandered so long
I found myself in you, but in the end it wasn’t me that I found



Ride With Me

The objective when this song was composed was to think about our "wars", in the ones which each one of us fight, or stand passively as a piece of Chessboard. The thematic of Chess was used to poetize and weaken the weight of what is a war. Hence, must be understood the song doesn't verse about wars between nations or that kind of conflict. But, the wars we fight to face our life, inside or outside of our beings. Enjoy it as a energic and strong incentive for you to fight for your life, your happiness, your goals, your place in this world.

(Intro)

(Hook)

Oh Oh Ohhh
Oh Oh Ohhh 
Oh Oh Ohhh 
Oh Oh Ohhh Oh.

(Verse 1)

From many battles,
My scars Intonate.
As the courage patrols,
My voice ressonates.
A warrior who doesn't fight
Is just one more piece without might
In the chessboard. 
Easily floored.

(Pre-Chorus)

No fear, strong gear.
Not frightened, always dared.
Scars done by the Life.
Living in the war. The pain we ignore!

(Chorus 1)

Against who thou fight?
Or art thou just a piece without might?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The true war isn't a game.

(Hook)

Oh Oh Ohhh
Oh Oh Ohhh 
Oh Oh Ohhh 
Oh Oh Ohhh Oh.

Against who thou fight?

(Verse 2)

The chant of Peace, 
We hear too far away.
Sometimes, we just sit cozy.  Or is it seize?
The peace must be the final way.
We don't need no weapons to face.

Syllabs, poetry, sense.
Might be as smashing as your mace!
Be the Tower for your King defence!

(Chorus 2)

Against who thou fight?
Or art thou just a piece without might?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The true war isn't a game.

(Chorus 3)

Against who thou fight?
Or art thou just a piece without might?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The true war isn't a game.

(Guitar Solo)

(Pre-Chorus)

No fear, strong gear.
Not frightened, always dared.
Scars done by the life.
Living in the war. The pain we ignore!

(Chorus 4)

Against who thou fight?
Or art thou just a piece without might?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The true war isn't a game. (no, no, no!)

(Chorus 5)

Against who thou fight?
Or art thou just a piece without might?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The true war isn't a game. (Ohhh, no!)

(Hook)

Oh Oh Ohhh
Oh Oh Ohhh
Oh Oh Ohhh 
Oh Oh Ohhh Oh.

The true war isn't a game.

Lyrics: Uli

Uli - War on the Chessboard

i just wanna know (prod lijan shai)

Lyrics:
I hope to god he hears me tonight
I've hurt myself and don't know why
I am cursed, I feel this way
'Cause every breath it hurts, I wanna
Fly away on a paper airplane
In the sky where no one should ever come down
Far away
Always dream chaser
Daydream aviator

I wish someone could bring me to life
'Cause all I feel is dead inside
I'm up so high above or down below
Paper airplanes fly

Fly away on a paper airplane
In the sky where no one should ever come down
Far away
Always dream chaser
Daydream aviator

Tell me what the fuck I have to be equal
Everyone relates to my sequel
And my confessions to the priest he said he'd never tell
I know you don't like me, you don't like me
I know you don't like me, you don't like me
I know you don't like me, you don't like me
I know you don't like me, you don't like me

Fly away on a paper airplane
In the sky where no one should ever come down
Far away
Always dream chaser
Daydream aviator

Fly away on a paper airplane
In the sky where no one should ever come down
Far away
Always dream chaser
Daydream aviator

Always dream chaser
Aviator

Fly away on a paper airplane
In the sky where no one should ever come down
Far away
Always dream chaser
Daydream aviator

I hope to God he hears me tonight
I've hurt myself and don't know why
I am cursed, I feel this daydream aviator

From the live houses of the Jing to busking in tunnels (Granted, the 33.3% donation rate was based on the fact that he had removed his stifling white collar shirt and was dancing bare chested) in Singapore, Psychedelic Revolution (aka Psyche Rev) is a one man project that likes most things such as alt r&b and alt rock. Made it as a semi finalist in 'Song of the Year' competition in 2022 with his song 'Cassius.' Finalist in 2023 with 'We'll Go Down.' Finalist in 2024 with 'Sigh' and also taking semi finalist positions with 'Heartbeats & Inner Turmoil' and 'You Had Me'. Finalist in 2025 with 'Cold Cold Storm' and semi finalist with 'So Typical.' Tastes like Kung Pao Chicken. Looks like a cross between Brag Pitt and Heath Leather. Smells like team spirit. Feels like baby powder. Oh the music. Yeah, it sounds good. 


Don't respond to DM's on here so if you would like to get touched pls contact  via some other avenue. He does have a sun fetish though.

Daily Musing:
Yeah. 4th year in a row. Happy about it. Happy that I wasn't awarded anything in 'rock' again.  4 months left to still compete. It's been an honour to play for you all as usual. 

October: I think I'm gonna do a chill hop/jazz hop thing with Coltrane changes. Done a instrumental before but never done a vocal jazz hop thing.
It's going well. Pretty exhausting because of how much brain power is used to decide what scale to play over the Coltrane changes. Easily the most 'jazziest' thing I've ever done. Tho it's hip hop. So when it comes time to explain the song I've forgotten about half the scales I'm using. Will probably be out end of the month. I've been thinking that I want to do a 'How to Train Your Dragon' theme. I've really only seen the third one and the live action version (the recent) but they moved me. Multiple times. I was with my friends and I took off my 3D glasses. Started wiping my eyes. Look to the right and everyone else is just fine.
Which reminds me of when I was in the band in uni and my Indian friend/guitarist started teasing me about crying in Titanic. 
"I was 6! Motherfucker you cried in Lagaan!"
Then he started chasing me around. Cos' that's what guys do when they like each other. 
 Which I guess also says something about how the filmmakers handled No Time to Die. 
So maybe like medieval rnb. Worked for Seal.
The only low for this year has been working with the label. They are called Raw Doggy Records. I contacted them saying I know you guys do electronic but I don't. They did like my music. Were gonna release stuff. Then they heard the mix for 'Heartbeats' and wanted me to remix some songs. I said, "that costs money." Then, I changed my mind and still got that mixer to mix the old songs. 3 of em' and then the label said, "to be honest, we prefer the older mixes." They were taking 2 weeks to reply to my emails aaand not so much as a "sorry we made you pay all that money for...nothing." So I said, "to be honest, I prefer the new mixes" which is a polite way of saying "go fuck yourself." And, that was that. They seemed to have gotten the msg. If you check out the artists on their roster all I can say is, "it's not my cuppa tea" I prefer electronic music like Daft Punk/Kavinsky/Infected Mushroom etc. The good news is that I wasn't particularly down about it.
Regarding Bharat, he's really the first person who believed in me as a singer so I owe him that much (or quite a lot). It meant and still means a lot to me because i consider him the best guitarist I've heard. I've heard Fripp, Slash, Petrucci, Laiho, and attended a Hendrix tribute with Eric Johnson, Satriani, Vai etc. He only practised 4 hours a day after school by ear. I could do that for the rest of my life and get to 1/5 as good as him.  It began in Florence and there was this kid from Jersey called Alex who was a somewhat decent singer and a good pianist. He was better than me at the time at singing.  I give Bharat an A- as a band leader cos' he was very patient with Rauf, our friend and bassist who barely practised. With me, he was encouraging. So, I think they thought they could fit Alex and me in the band together. I had no problem with that. Now Alex had an interesting take on songwriting which was to bring pop into whatever genre. So if it was rock he liked Spin Doctors. Now, don't get me wrong, I like 'MMMbop' by Hanson every now and then but in a band, playing that type of stuff? No. Bharat and I were on the same page. He liked his metal, hard rock. So, Alex would sing whenever I sung. Or make noises cos' he was the better singer. Zero band etiquette but...I can see where he's coming from. Bharat did nothing about that which is where the A- comes in. So, I got fed up with Alex acting like a child and walked out of rehearsal. My goal was to find the nearest American for inspiration. This was when I was in NY. I ran into a marine near a bar after 30 secs. I said, "Look we're in a band and we wanna play hard rock but there's this kid that keeps singing whenever I sing..."
*inspirational moment right here*
"ah fuck it. what am I saying? I'm gonna go back in there and kick his ass...musically."
"Sounds good man."
"Thanks for serving the country!"
So that was what happened and I walked in there danced and sung. Alex got all red in the face. And, that was the last time we had band practise together. I actually wasn't that confident back then and it was the first time singing for a band. Now, I would say to Bharat,
"hey, can you tell your friend to stfu when I'm singing?"

As far as my middle school 'friends' go, well I'm really a huge fan of that guy one who went through his ex's phone, cried on a date, and then hacked her when she broke up with him. 
I'm also really a huge fan of the guy who kicked his ex.
I'm also a huge fan of the guy who got his head shoved down the toilet and claimed 'PTSD.' 
Soldiers who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan: Really? Would he like to go on tour with us?
I think he'd die of super PTSD before the plane takes flight so I can answer for him.
