This song is a collaboration with my good friend Mark who supplied the files to his super guitar-based rock song Bad Orange. I have remixed his track, taking his guitar riffs and tried to make something which retains the rock feel of the original but is pretty different as well. We are both happy with the result. You can check out Mark’s original Bad Orange track by going to @mfishman71 ( as well as his other great guitar driven tracks, of course ).

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

The kings of violence

This song is a heartfelt and introspective ballad that explores the complexities of a deep, spiritual connection between two people who couldn't quite bridge the gap between their understanding of love. Inspired by ShAnkAri's story, the lyrics delve into the pain and longing that can come from loving someone who doesn't see or believe in the same way. It's a poignant reflection on the power of love to reshape our souls, even when it's not reciprocated in the way we hope. 

I'd like to thank the incredible @DJShAnkAri for sharing her story and inspiring this song, and for her input into this piece. Also for her amazing remix...

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I whispered in stardust, I prayed through the skies
You felt like a lifetime behind unseen eyes
I reached with my soul, no distance too far
But you never saw me—you just traced the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I loved you, not loud but true
In silence, in symbols, in all I knew

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 2]
I studied your shadows, I learned every sign
In a language of longing, outside of time
You held the map, but looked away
Afraid of a path you didn’t create

[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you light in a world gone dim
You thought it was just the wind

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 3]
Is love a gesture, or is it a vow? 
Is it holding on, or letting go now? 
You wanted proof in a different form 
And I was the rain—you needed the storm

[Chorus]
We both said “I love you” 
But not in the same voice 
You meant protection 
I meant choice 
You meant fire 
I meant grace 
We loved in totally different space 
And that’s how even soulmates break— 
When meanings don’t translate

[Bridge]
Maybe you thought love must be proven
With bodies and years, not a soul that’s been chosen
But just because we never met
Doesn’t mean I could forget
You were the pulse beneath my breath

[Chorus]
Still you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul

[Chorus]
You never believed me
Not once, not truly
You stayed behind reason
While I loved you purely
Like a prayer with no ending
Like a vow with no sound
But you never turned around
You never believed me

[Outro]
And maybe you never will
But I loved you still

[Post-Outro] 
We all carry our own definition 
And none of us ask permission 
To love the way we understand 
Even if no one takes our hand... 

You Never Believed Me

This song is a raw and emotional love letter to my younger self, a message of hard-earned wisdom and vulnerable strength. I'm looking back on the struggles and mistakes I made, and I want to tell my younger self to stand strong, to not compromise who you are to fit someone else's idea of what's acceptable. The song is about embracing your true self, your worth, and your voice, and not letting the world dim your light. It's a message of empowerment, of self-love, and of rising above the expectations and judgments of others. I'm urging myself, and anyone who's listening, to be brave, to shine, and to be unapologetically who you are.

*Fun fact: Both the present-day and young Vicky in this painting are based on real photos of me!  You probably recognize the present me, but I thought you all might think it's cool to know that my 5-year-old self is also captured here as well. 👧😍


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey little wildflower, knees all scraped
You dream in thunder, but you're taught to wait
They’ll call you too loud, too much, too free
But don't let the world rewrite your story 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna run, I know you're scared to fall
But baby, trust your gut—don't listen when they call
You trouble just for shining like the sun 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 2]
You're gonna wear shame like it's a dress
Swallowing dreams you can't confess
But guilt was never meant for girls like you
You were born with fire, not to be subdued 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you think it’s love when it hurts the most
But you don’t need to bleed just to feel close
You're worthy even when you walk alone 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 3]
You're gonna dance with all your fears
Fall apart for all the wrong careers
But keep your heart, don’t sell it cheap
And never trade your voice for sleep 

[Bridge]
Tattoo your truth on every scar
You’re not broken—just battle-marked
The world’s gonna try to shrink your flame
But baby, rise and burn the same 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Chorus]
Don’t be me, don’t bend and break
Don’t give your magic for their sake
You’re already gold beneath the skin
Let the girl you are begin again 

[Outro]
So dance, little wildflower—dance and scream
Be the girl I lost in chasing dreams
Don’t be me
Don’t be me

Don’t Be Me

The Way It Used To Be

I just redid the mix and fixed the drums, and some of the more glaring vocal problems, and got that cool guitar lead to shine a little. It sounds a lot better now.
Please pardon my vocals, this is actually for a female artist. Not autobiographical, just a story. My apologies to Irma Thomas.

You were my angel, and i was under your spell
And you promised life would be a fairytale
But i was no more than your possession
And you put me through hell
Though you called it heaven

And everytime i tried to leave, you’d just wave your hand
And I’d come crawling back on my knees
I would pray you’d treat me better
When you’d smile at me so sad and so sweet

But something’s changed inside, I can see now who you are
and that sweet smile aint gonna get you very far!

Now who’s the one? Who’s down on their knees?
No need to beg, there’s nothing left that you can take from me
You don’t have any power here no more
Well you’ve lost your wings, and I know just what you’re here for
You are no angel, you are a devil, to the core
And you ain’t welcome here no more

Don’t come back inside, don’t put your bags down on the floor
You ain’t welcome here no more

You ain't welcome here no more

Memories est né d’une belle collaboration avec Eric Georgesco, initiée en décembre 2024. Eric avait composé, quelques années plus tôt, une mélodie très personnelle intitulée Memories. Dès la première écoute, j’ai perçu le potentiel de ce morceau. Il restait à trouver la bonne direction pour lui donner une nouvelle dimension.

Pendant plusieurs mois, le titre est resté en suspens, car je n’arrivais pas à lui insuffler l’énergie que je cherchais. C’est finalement en mars, après que l’un de mes proches m’ait encouragé à écouter Clara Luciani (que je connaissais vaguement jusque-là) que tout a changé. En découvrant La Grenade, avec sa ligne de basse percutante et son esprit French Disco, j’ai eu une révélation : c’était exactement ce qu’il fallait à Memories pour prendre son envol.

La voix de Delphine s’est ensuite imposée naturellement. Sa lumière, sa sincérité et sa douceur donnent vie au morceau et en incarnent toute la sensibilité.

Merci à Eric pour sa confiance, et à Delphine pour sa voix qui sublime la chanson.


Memories is the result of a beautiful collaboration with Eric Georgesco, which began in December 2024. A few years back, Eric had composed a melody he called Memories, a piece that meant a lot to him. The first time I heard it, I instantly felt its potential. The challenge was figuring out how to rearrange it to take it somewhere new.

For several months, the track was put on hold. I just couldn’t find the right energy to bring it to life. Everything shifted in March, when a close friend insisted I take a deeper listen to Clara Luciani. I knew of her, but hadn’t really explored her work. Then I heard La Grenade and its bold bass line and French disco flair hit me like a lightning bolt. That’s the kind of groove Memories needed to finally lift off.

Delphine’s voice quickly became the obvious choice. Her bright, honest tone full of candor and warmth, truly brings the song to life.

Huge thanks to Eric for trusting me with this project, and to Delphine for her voice, which elevates the song in the most beautiful way.

Lyrics : 

En ces jours étranges
Plus rien ne me dérange
Je vais partir
Sans te le dire
Les yeux perdus

Dans ce ciel immense
Où tout n’est que silence
Je vais courir
Sans revenir
Le coeur déchu

Mon coeur sillonne 
Nos plus belles memories
Et moi je fredonne
Nos plus belles mélodies

Quand tu me dis « Mon Ange »
Mes pensées se mélangent
Ca m’fait souffrir
De te mentir
L’amour déçu

Je m’entoure de distance
Pour que j’me recommence
Je vais grandir
Me reconstruire
Me mettre à nu

Mon coeur sillonne 
Nos plus belles memories
Et moi je fredonne
Nos plus belles mélodies

I had tu run to heal myself
But your love still echoes in my soul

Memories (Feat.Delphine & Eric Georgesco)

“I Wish (I Was Like You)” is an emotional song about longing, self-denial, and the fear of hurting those we care about — wrapped in a dark, poetic vampire metaphor.

I love exploring different genres and diving into new musical worlds — and right now, it's musical theatre that's calling me.

This song is part of a musical project in collaboration with Sarah Paradise Brown, centered around themes of inner conflict, unfulfilled love, and the tension between light and darkness.

A new song with Sarah is already in the works — and there may be more to come as we continue to unfold this mysterious chapter.

Lyrics / Music / Vocals: 
Axel Menningen



"I wish (I was like you)"

You wake up with the sun in your eyes.
You breathe like nothing hurts.
You laugh like life is simple.
I watch you from the dark.

I try to move like you.
To speak like you.
But my steps are too heavy.
And something inside me always pulls me back.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I didn't want what I want.
I wish I could be close
without the fear,
without the hunger.
But I can't.

You hold my hand like it's safe.
You look at me like I'm still human.
And for a moment,
I almost believe it.

But the night speaks to me.
It whispers what I am.
And the blood calls louder
than your voice ever could.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I didn't want what I want.
I wish I could be close
without the fear,
without the hunger.
But I can't.

I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want to lose myself.
But if I choose you,
I lose what keeps me alive.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I could just love.
But I'm built for hunger,
not for peace.
Not for love.
Not like you.

I Wish (I Was Like You)

Sitting alone at night around a remote campfire in the Bieszczady Mountains, a fascinating area with free-roaming wolves and bears, you feel much more at ease when you can hear a group of horses grazing behind you and enjoy the peace and coolness of the night after a hot day spent carrying riders on long journeys over hills, fields, and meadows.

Horsepower

[Intro: Distant, Spoken, Alone]
Night suffocates
Lost beneath collapsing towers
No way out, no voice answers
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!

[Verse 1: Isolation, Hopelessness]
Concrete waste, life in fragments
Steps echo in empty halls
Dreams dismantled, faith abandoned
I am wounded, pressed and small

Silent city has no mercy
Every hope turns to rust
Breath is shallow, vision blurry
Feet drag heavy through the dust

[Pre-Chorus 1: Fear]
Fear whispers—nothing left
Hiding from the shadow’s breath
Walls contract, cold and near
Strength forgotten, drowned in fear

VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!

[Chorus 1: Awakening]
But a spark beneath the ashes glows
In darkness, something bold grows
From trembling hands that fate would claim—
Rage becomes my secret flame

VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
From the edge, I rise unknown
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
Broken, burning, never gone

[Verse 2: Gathering Strength]
Every scar a silent promise
Every bruise another vow
I reject the fate that haunts us
Summon strength—refuse to bow

Heartbeat pounding like an engine
Will ignites behind my eyes
Fear gives way to raw ascension
I am thunder in disguise

[Pre-Chorus 2: Transformation]
Grief to power—molten, wild
Pain re-shaped and reconciled
No surrender, not this time
Voice electric, soul defined

VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!

[Chorus 2: Unleashed Power]
Walls collapse before my stride
Ghosts dissolve as I collide
Light explodes where I declare
I was steel, now fire and air

VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
From the ruins I ignite
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
Radiant, relentless fight

[Bridge: Climax, Shouted/Chanted]
I am not the shattered night
I am force, the will, the right
No more hiding, no more chains—
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!

[Final Chorus: Overcoming/Prevail]
Every wound, a reason found
Courage roaring, shaking ground
Never silenced, never tame—
I am victory without shame

VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
Final dawn, unbreakable
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
Triumphant, untouchable

[Outro: Fading, Fiercely Chanting]
VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA...
Stand alone, unbeaten...
Forever, forever prevail...

INSUPERABILIS!  -VIRTUS SOLA INVICTA!
