This Is Steve Vai

[Verse]
Like a pressure valve I hold the line
Ready to burst but I take my time
Steam in my chest it whispers low
Control’s a game I’ve come to know

[Chorus]
I’m rolling like a bowling ball
Speeding down the endless hall
Strike the pins and watch them fall
I’m the chaos I’m the call

[Verse 2]
Sparks in the wires they light my way
I’m a live wire set to play
No stopping now no turning back
On this electric railroad track

[Prechorus]
Can you hear it can you feel it
The hum of power the pull of spirit

[Chorus]
I’m rolling like a bowling ball
Speeding down the endless hall
Strike the pins and watch them fall
I’m the chaos I’m the call

[Bridge]
Pressure rising heartbeat wild
I’m the storm’s unruly child
Breaking loose unchained untamed
Nothing left to stop this flame

The Chaos, The Call

Pseudo Manifesto is a blistering fusion of post-hardcore urgency and jazz’s fractured elegance, a record that cuts deep into the cracked glass of modern existence. At its core, the album is a critique of postmodern disillusionment and the hollow promises of systems built by the ultra-rich and egomaniacal. Each track becomes a vignette of survival—average lives clawing through chaos, corporate towers looming like false gods, and the struggle to cling to faith, love, or sanity in a culture bent on consumption.

This is not a sermon of despair but a raw testimony: the sound of people fighting, failing, and resisting in a world that tells them they are powerless. Pseudo Manifesto becomes the rally cry of the disenchanted, the fractured philosophy of those who refuse to be swallowed whole by greed’s machinery. A soundtrack for the last stand of the everyday soul against empires of arrogance.
