Marsyas' Rebellion

[Verse]
I’m chasing shadows in a room full of light,
Trying to be everything you like.
I make the dinner, take the kids to school,
But it never feels like I’m breaking through.

I see the way you look when she walks by,
I hear the silence when I ask why.
I could climb to the moon, but it won’t compare,
To the spell that she casts when she’s standing there.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Verse]
I change my hair, I change my style,
I take the garbage out, I walk the miles.
I feel so small, like I’m made of glass,
And every moment with him, it breaks so fast.

I laugh at your jokes, try to make you see,
But your eyes never turn back to me.
I’m left in the corner, a silent prayer,
While you float to her like she’s the air.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Outro]
I’ve been the echo to your voice,
But you’ve already made your choice.
No matter how I try to shine,
You’ll never see this heart of mine.

Melt [Home]

[Verse]
They say I’m special, but it feels like a curse,
Every step I take just makes it worse.
I give my all, but it’s never enough,
While they stand back and call my bluff.
They ask for more, but they don’t see,
That this weight is breaking me.

[Chorus]
I’m climbing, but you’re out of reach,
Giving my heart, but you don’t see.
Chasing fireflies in the night,
I’m burning out, but I still fight.

[Verse 2]
I thought I had friends, thought I had a place,
But they left me here without a trace.
No one wants to hear the truth I know,
So I hide my mind and put on a show.
The more I try, the more I break,
Every smile I fake is a mistake.

[Chorus]
I’m climbing, but you’re out of reach,
Giving my heart, but you don’t see.
Chasing fireflies in the night,
I’m burning out, but I still fight.

[Bridge]
You took my trust and let it fall,
Now I don’t know if I can stand at all.
I’m more than grades and gold,
But you’ll never care to know.

[Chorus]
I’m climbing, but you’re out of reach,
Giving my heart, but you don’t see.
Chasing fireflies in the night,
I’m burning out, but I still fight.

[Outro]
And now I’m falling, falling fast,
But you won’t catch me as I crash.
You loved the light, but feared the dark,
Now I’m the one left with the mark.

Fireflies

Mesmerizing Girl [Extended Version]

[Chorus]
Ooooh, I’m stumbling through the shame...
Ahhh, can’t hide from your name...
Ooooh, each broken part of me,
I’m sewing up the scars you left in me.

[Verse]
You told me lies wrapped in love, and I believed,
Held onto words that you never meant to keep.
I let you shape my world like you knew best,
But the cracks grew wide, they never let me rest.
I thought you were the sun, thought you kept me warm,
But your light burned me, left me torn.

[Chorus]
Ooooh, I’m stumbling through the shame...
Ahhh, can’t hide from your name...
Ooooh, each broken part of me,
I’m sewing up the scars you left in me.

[Verse]
I said I was fine, but I lied to myself,
You filled me with doubt, made me hate myself.
How could I not see all the games you played?
Now I’m learning to stand where I used to sway.
You fed me dreams but never let them grow,
And I just nodded, afraid to know.

[Chorus]
Ooooh, I’m stumbling through the shame...
Ahhh, can’t hide from your name...
Ooooh, each broken part of me,
I’m sewing up the scars you left in me.

[Bridge]
You taught me that love is never free,
That I have to bleed just to feel seen.
Now I see you’re just as lost as me,
But I won’t let your shadow define my dream.

[Chorus]
Ooooh, I’m stumbling through the shame...
Ahhh, can’t hide from your name...
Ooooh, each broken part of me,
I’m sewing up the scars you left in me.
Ooooh, feeling every breath...
Ahhh, pulling through the depth.
Ooooh, each broken part of me,
I’m sewing up the scars you left in me.

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
