That You Were There

Dear Diary

no more no more

The song explores the human struggle with the passage of time, focusing on themes of mortality, regret, and the weight of the past. It presents time as an inescapable force that shapes existence, haunting us with memories of lost moments and the inevitability of death. The cinematic and haunting musical direction amplifies this sense of existential tension, blending introspection with urgency.

The core message is a reflection on how we grapple with time’s relentless march. The lyrics suggest that people often fear the future and death, but the real loss lies in the past—moments, dreams, and opportunities that have already slipped away. The song urges listeners to confront this reality, let go of lingering regrets, and embrace the present as the only true moment of existence. The rap verse and bridge emphasize a shift toward acceptance, encouraging resilience and mindfulness ("Only now exists") to find peace amidst time’s haunting presence. The recurring motif of being "haunted by time" underscores the tension between clinging to the past and living fully in the present.

Haunted by Time

The core message emphasizes the importance of purposeful speech and the wisdom of restraint. The lyrics suggest that silence is not just an absence of sound but a powerful space for reflection and clarity. Speaking should be reserved for words that carry weight, truth, and impact—words that are "worth the silence." The song critiques the tendency to fill space with meaningless noise and instead advocates for thoughtful expression that breaks through the "shadow" of superficiality. The rap verse and bridge reinforce this by highlighting the responsibility of words and the strength found in pausing to ensure what is said matters. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to embrace silence as a source of wisdom and to speak only when their words can truly resonate and endure.

Sound Worth the Silence

Verse 1
Just got home and found your note
Folded by the coffee can— just three words you wrote
Said “I’ll do better”—truth is, that takes two
We let it ride too long—now I lost you
I’ll take my share—write it plain to see
It wasn’t all you, and it wasn’t all me
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Verse 2
Empty spot on the wall and a busted frame
Calendar stuck on June—every square looks the same
I won’t go tellin’ our good friends what all we’ve been through
I’ll carry my half and leave the rest with you
If this is goodbye, you know I'll always take your call
And I'lll still be that shoulder you might need afterall
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Bridge
We'll let the rain talk for us, and we'll just let it pour
Hope you find the peace you're lookin' for
Final Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I can't take all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
And baby, so are you.

Halfway Guilty

When I wake up, I don’t wanna
Face the mirror, I'm a goner
Fake my cool, my chest gets hotter
It burns like soda in my veins
Missed that moment, lost that dollar
Scuffed up ego, hot on the collar
Buzzin’ head, where's the gain?
Nobody’s driving me sane

You talk slick, I can’t stand it
Go ahead, tear your bandage
You just want to drag my name
While I cave in, you play savage
God, I hate it — but I manage
You make me sort of enjoy the pain

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fake, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - next to my mistakes, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Lose my place or lose my grip
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - just to exist

Keep on loopin’, thoughts keep shootin’
Half alive and half rebootin’
Hold my breath like it’s a stunt
Play that role and keep disputin’
Truth’s diluted, mind’s polluted
Choke me gently, call it blunt

You're so proud, I can’t mute it
Tear me down and refute it
You make me want to burn places I've seen
But I still stay, barely rooted
Freaking out, wired, deluded
You make me wanna claw through my screen

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fraud, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up prayin’ - oh my god, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep losing sleep I can’t recall
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep being your light in the hall

Told myself that it gets better
But I’m still taped up with tether
Every day I come undone
Take my face off, switch the weather
If I break, well, call it clever
Say I ran — but I never run

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up stitched into a mask, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Rehearse answers, you never ask, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Chase the lines that they made bleed
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up just to not succeed


I Don't Wanna

Crown of Virtue

I am broken

This song is part of the album “Why me – but why not me too”.
It is not to be seen on its own, but as part of a journey I have to live through since my diagnosis. Each track tells a piece of this path – honest, raw, and unfiltered.

I Walk Through

Chasing Stars

Strike the Matches is a cinematic dark-pop anthem that burns away the weight of the past and steps boldly into the light. Built on moody synth layers, swelling strings, and deep bass, the track moves from fragile vulnerability to soaring empowerment — echoing the emotional release of letting go and finding strength. The lyrics carry a raw intensity, blending imagery of fire, smoke, and rebirth into a story of transformation. With raspy, passionate vocals at the center, the production keeps the sound polished yet atmospheric, balancing shadows and light like a scene from an old western movie reimagined in neon hues. This is a song for anyone carrying scars, ready to turn pain into fuel and rise stronger.

STRIKE THE MATCHES

This song is about moving on, 
Left my job of 20 years.

Puppet on a string

You And I

A tribute to all those hours in the life that we loose with utterly senseless stuff and that vanish into oblivion. Not the hours that we loose on necessary evils like household chores but rather the ones like doomsscrolling where we know, we could and should have used them better. But then in the end - does it really make a difference in the long run?
 
Three times the same motive with different turns after a few seconds respectively (at @0:00, @0:57, @1:50).  And an appendix  @2:19 with an open quesion and the hint of an answer.

Again, this composition will come with lyrics in due course, however, since I don't have access to my studio currently, this will take some time - will likely publish some other things before.

Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting my work!


Elegy for the Hours (Contemporary Piano Miniature)

LYRICS 
Another heart, lay shattered, in pieces
Like the dreams it once held
Another heart, lay broken, disjointed
No journeyman could weld

This is the land of broken promise
Stolen in the night
By just a word
With no emotion

Instrumental

Another heart lay shattered, around me
Next to the ghost of a love affair
Thrown away, in corners
Like old clothes on a chair.
