Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me
Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me

Walk on this path alone
In solitude - gratitude I feel
No negativity to cloud my mind
No pearls to be cast before the swine
Walk on to the light I know
Will lead me home - to where I belong
No anonymity to hide behind
No animosity will infect my mind

Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me
Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me

Leave you all far behind
In solitude - to discover what is real
Not wasting any more of my own time
Not leading you to what you refuse to find
Leave you right where you belong
Lost in the dark - a shackle on your head
No remorse for the willfully ignorant
No remorse - no remorse

Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me
Why waste my time dispelling illusions
Why spend my time lost in your confusion
I won't let your mind divide and confuse me
I won't let your mind manipulate and use me

Let It Go

I know it's not the way I feel that will make you move
The only thing that is real was never enough for you
You're dancing on my heart off time to a different groove
And when the music stops there's only one thing left to do
You know it's true

Press rewind
Play it back again and get it right this time
Make up your mind
Treat me like a human being just one time
And I'll be fine
Tell no lies
Sing your song of sorrow as I'm left behind
Look in my eyes
Will you be there tomorrow when the tears have dried
And I'm not fine

No, you won't
You get what you want
Treat me like an object
Will you show me respect?
No, you won't
You'll get what you want
See me as a defect
A circumstance to reject
No, you won't
Get what you want
You've made into a habit
ignoring my love
I know, you won't
Get what you want
You already had it
But it wasn't enough

My mind was racing when it hit me in the heart in my chest
I felt it coming but now I don't think I know what is best
I question everything I thought I knew inside of my self
I find I'm feeling like I'm turning into somebody else
I don't know if I'll ever be
Right where I was before
Into the open door
I stepped inside a dream
More real than what it seemed
Am I asleep again?
Lost in my lonely head
Labyrinth of uncertainty
Liminal eternity

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

I hear a whisper growing louder in the back of my mind
Calling out from beyond the depths of all that I've left behind
It sounds familiar but I haven't heard it in quite some time
I recognize the voice inside me and I know it is mine
I don't know if I'll ever be
Right where I was before
Into the open door
I stepped inside a dream
More real than what it seemed
Am I asleep again?
Lost in my lonely head
Labyrinth of uncertainty
Liminal eternity

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

My mind was racing when it hit me in the heart in my chest
I felt it coming but now I don't think I know what is best
I question everything I thought I knew inside of my self
I find I'm feeling like I'm turning into somebody else
I don't know if I'll ever be
Right where I was before
Into the open door
I stepped inside a dream
More real than what it seemed
Am I asleep again?
Lost in my lonely head
Labyrinth of uncertainty
Liminal eternity

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

I've been waiting a life time for it to be my time
Will I always be
Waiting a life time for it to be my time

Liminal

Red Light, Eagerness
The cold truth hidden in the innocence
Dark night, bitterness
Cut from the cloth of the agonist
Blue eyes, indifferent
An old soul lost in the dark abyss
Pitch black, emptiness
Swallowed by the deluge of animus

Transcendent, limitless
Born anew with an unyielding vigilance
Wide eyed, confident
Forged in the flame of abandonment
New life, shedding skin
Dead and gone, never to be seen again
Calcified, permanence
A new form shaped by irreverence

Tell me lies, tell me lies
Lull me to sleep with an alibi
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Make me believe this is paradise
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I want to be deceived and desensitized
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I need to be bereaved and anesthetized

I am ready to begin
I am ready to give in
Wonder why I feel this way
No wonder why I feel this way
I am ready for the night
I am ready for the light
Out of hope and alibis
I need you to tell me lies

Tell me lies, tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I need you to tell me lies

Detached, weightless
Surrounded by the dark cloak of nothingness
Soft heart, inner bliss
Free from the judgment and abhorrence
Pure love, unconditional
Given to me like a god sent miracle
Patient, compassionate
The pure truth voiced by the infinite

Tell me lies, tell me lies
Lull me to sleep with an alibi
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Make me believe this is paradise
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I want to be deceived and desensitized
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I need to be bereaved and anesthetized

I am ready to begin
I am ready to give in
Wonder why I feel this way
No wonder why I feel this way
I am ready for the night
I am ready for the light
Out of hope and alibis
I need you to tell me lies

Tell me lies, tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me lies
I need you to tell me lies

Tell Me Lies

Overthinker

You see the hurt inside my eyes
You feel the pain from deep inside
The fleeting time it passes by
The clock strikes midnight
No point to lead me on this time
No truth to read between the lines
I know you'll leave me far behind
I know you'll leave me

And now I'm left to question why
But I don't want to
And now you're all that's on my mind
But I don't want to

Leave you in the night in a memory
Watch me suffer
Don't forget me now, I'm all alone
There's no other
Take my heart into your hands now
Hear my offer
Break my heart in two, I'm all alone
There's no other

The light ahead grows dim and I
Feel like giving up this time
Your absence weighing on my mind
My heart strikes midnight
No lesson to be learned this time
No secret left for me to find
I know you've left me far behind
I know you've left me

I know you've left me far behind
I know you've left me


And now I'm left to question why
But I don't want to
And now you're all that's on my mind
But I don't want to

Leave you in the night in a memory
Watch me suffer
Don't forget me now, I'm all alone
There's no other
Take my heart into your hands now
Hear my offer
Break my heart in two, I'm all alone
There's no other

There's No Other

I had lost my only way
Left alone to front the blame
There you were to speak my name
A siren's call to numb the pain
So I gave myself away
And I gave into your ways
Your soft lips caressed my face
So I gave myself away
No convictions left to chase
No more dignity to claim
Your sweet kiss was all I'd taste
All my pain and greif erased

I'm floating high above the sky
On clouds of lust and lullabies
So high on dopamine tonight
Now I'm in heaven

Now I know it's all a lie
The shame I weather
Your love was never truly mine
Your game was clever
You only used me to derive
A twisted pleasure
And now I'm left without my pride
A harlot's beggar

I feel used and so betrayed
Been abused and thrown away
There you were to speak my name
And I gave into your ways
Why'd I give myself away
Why'd I give into your ways
I knew the past would haunt my days
Why'd I give myself away

Why'd I give myself away
I gave myself away

I'm sinking deep beneath the ground
On clouds of lust I choke and drown
Regret and shame consumes me now
Now where's my heaven

Now I know it's all a lie
The shame I weather
Your love was never truly mine
Your game was clever
You only used me to derive
A twisted pleasure
And now I'm left without my pride
A harlot's beggar

[Chorus]
I went dancing last night
I heard you speak to me
Unchain me
Miss Americana
Make me
Be a ballerina

[Chorus]
I went dancing last night
I heard you speak to me
Unchain me
Miss Americana
Make me
Be a ballerina

[Bridge]
Hồ nước xanh như ngọc bích
Chiều ngang dương thế bộn bề
Hoa vẫn thơm
Sương vẫn thắm
Tự do tự tại tứ hải

[Chorus]
I went dancing last night
I heard you speak to me
Unchain me
Miss Americana
Make me
Be a ballerina

With "The Siren," MatAre steps away from his usual introspective themes to tell a tale of fascination and danger lurking beneath the waves. The post-punk vibe of the track, infused with elements of new wave and goth rock, showcases MatAre's versatility as an artist. Recorded in Jacksonville, Florida in 2023 and finalized in December 2024, the recording process itself was a unique experience, with vocals captured on the beach at night to capture the essence of the song. MatAre's upcoming album promises to further showcase his evolution as an artist, with "The Siren" standing out as a mesmerizing preview of what's to come.
