emo's not dead

Smile in Your Sleep

🔻 Song Insight
“Turn Me Off” is a razor-edged punk-pop anthem built on the ashes of people-pleasing and toxic nostalgia. Laced with sarcasm and dark humor, the track pulls no punches about betrayal, wasted time, and that moment you finally take your life back. It’s a cathartic soundtrack for anyone who’s tired of being polite and ready to reclaim their power—with the volume cranked up.

🔻 Lyrics
Intro:
I found my spot, the one I craved
Hiding under all the mess I made
Brittle as fuck, yeah, I cracked
Bent and broken, right off these fucking tracks

Verse 1:
Arms marked up from the shit I did for you
No more excuses—yeah, I saw it through
Was it love or just an excuse?
Does it matter—nothing's enough for you

Kindness was a game, you played it well
But you were never good enough to sell
Cut and slice, hammer crashed it well
Pulling out memories, burnt as hell

Chorus:
You’re the storm in my summer,
The shit on my shoe—remember? (Yeah, you do)
Milk gone bad, ruined my point of view
You’re the worst day, never my center
That was my life with you, and yeah, it’s true
You turned me on just to turn me off

Verse 2:
People say I’m cruel, forgetting the good
Fuck that shit, you’d run too if you could
You poisoned the parts that used to thrive
Watched them wither, die inside

You metastasize—won’t go away
A mole in my head, just growing gray
You haunt my mind, rent-free
But you don’t belong here, so fuck off—PLEASE

Bridge:
Static on my radio,
Don’t like my station? Change it—
If my noise offends you, good, turn the dial
Or stick around, I’ll make it worthwhile
(What's a dial?)

Chorus:
You’re the storm in my summer,
The shit on my shoe—remember? (Yeah, you do)
Milk gone bad, ruined my point of view
You’re the worst day, never my center
That was my life with you, and yeah, it’s true
You turned me on just to turn me off

Outro, Spoken – Deadpan:
Some say it’s masked love—whatever the fuck
Eat a dick, get bent, I’m fresh outta luck
The depths I’ve exposed—just a window—
If you never loved, you never lost—
Guess that’s how we grow—

I’m like a podcast or a late-night stream
Just your noise? Never a dream—
Turn me on or fuck me off—and enjoy the show.

Otherwise, keep going—this is MY space now.

“MySpace, wasn’t that a place for pedophiles?”
speaker 2:
“No, you’re thinking of MyFace.”
speaker 1:
“Oh, wait… how do you know?”
speaker 2:
"It was on the news, right?"
speaker 1:
"Your pager’s going off, better get that"
speaker 2:
"Oh shit, it’s 911, I gotta get this, you got a phone?"


🔻 Personal Reflection
I spent years making myself small for other people—trying to be liked, to be “enough,” to keep the peace. But there’s a point where you realize you can’t save anyone who’s set on destroying themselves (or you). “Turn Me Off” is me reclaiming my life, my voice, and my sense of humor. It’s blunt, loud, and finally honest—because I’m done apologizing for existing.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
Every 4Me2BeFree track is a slice of lived experience, spun into something cinematic and real. With “Turn Me Off,” I’m doubling down on the mission: take raw truth, twist it into something you can feel, and make sure no one walks away unmoved. Whether you’re laughing, hurting, or raging along, the goal is always the same—turn pain into connection, and never hold back.

For the past two decades, Silverstein have relentlessly pushed themselves to become the best version of the band for both themselves and their fans. That determination has led the Ontario-based five-piece from their underground roots to becoming one of the most influential bands in their scene, playing two thousand-plus shows all over the globe, and selling over a million records. Now Silverstein are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their 9th, and perhaps strongest album to date: A Beautiful Place To Drown. 

While many bands would take their 20-year anniversary as an opportunity to rest on the laurels of nostalgia, Silverstein (vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Paul Marc Rousseau and Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler) see the landmark as a time to appreciate how far they’ve come, while also channeling all those years of experience into something new. A Beautiful Place To Drown finds the band deftly balancing their core sound—an intensely dynamic mix of melody and aggression, rooted in the energy of hardcore punk and the unabashed earnestness of emo—with their natural growth as songwriters and evolving inspirations.
