Lyrics ✨ ~
Alright, final take
Uh-oh, what have you done?
Lock me up, I've fallen in love
Get me out of here, I said get me out of here
And I have homework and - I need to do
Late assignments and papers overdue
I'm all out of tears, blurry nights won't disappear
I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You'll break my heart, take it too far
But I don't care, this isn't fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way...
You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven't been eating lately, and I haven't been in class
Uh-oh, how original
Girl meets boy, it's so predictable
Get me out of here, get me out of here
You've got - you say you gotta do
Left me there just to think it through
Facing all my fears, I've waited years and years
I get a feeling every time I go to bed
Are you thinking about me or is it all just in my head?
'Cause I'm fallin' at the speed of light
Can't keep up with the butterflies
Floating 'round, no sign of slowing down
I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You'll break my heart, take it too far
But I don't care, this isn't fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way...
You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven't been eating lately, and I haven't been in class
I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You'll break my heart, take it too far
But I don't care, this isn't fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way...
You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven't been eating lately, and I haven't been in class

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!

The Awakening (OSC 193 Thorn)

I'm diving headfirst into the JRPG vibes here. I originally set out to make a more subdued track but somehow a hint of epic flavor snuck in.

Thanks for listening!

Entry for One Synth Challenge #193 with Dmitry Sches THORN

ZioMau - Fallen Cities

it's been a long time coming, but here it is, i hope you all like it

chords: Dmin G C C7

lyrics:
i’m happy for you
i’m smiling for you
i’d do anything 
for you for you

it’s always for you
and never or me
i need it to stop 
so let me tell you please

i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely 
but i can’t tell you 
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

how many times
must i keep it inside
i need to let go 
and i swear that i’ve tried

but opening up 
means trusting others
and that’s just too much, 
i don’t want to bother

so i’ll keep it inside 
and bury it deep
i know it’s not healthy 
but you won’t hear a peep

though i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely
i could never tell you
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

something

buy it here!

feelings are fatal
