SOMETHING REAL

You Tube video link;  https://youtu.be/RI5FIMTHRQE
“Alien Abduction” is a slow-burning, grunge-drenched dream for the emotionally overwhelmed. With Kat T’s dispassionate vocals floating over heavy drums, deep bass, and cinematic dark rock textures, this track captures the ache of feeling too quiet for a world too loud. It’s not just about aliens — it’s about finally finding peace by letting go of Earth.

If you’ve ever felt like this world wasn’t built for you, this song is your transmission into the void.



Alien Abduction

Ecstasy

A slow-burning descent into digital captivity.
“Stay Awhile” reflects the transformation of connection into commodity, where freedom is promised but attention is harvested. A haunting composition shaped by analog synths, glitch textures, and cinematic atmosphere. The voice cuts through with quiet urgency — spoken, sung, unraveling. There’s no cage more effective than the one we choose ourselves.

Lyrics:

the promise was freedom
but we were the price

it started in wonder, a simple thread
where voices connected, not sold or fed
we spoke like gold, no goal in sight
a place for words, for wrong and right
no weight, no push, just breath and thought
but that bright room is already lost

stay awhile
this isn’t a trap

stay awhile – the feed is calling
stay awhile – your time is falling
stay awhile – it won’t take much
just your gaze, your soul, your touch

then came the scroll, the endless run
a like, a click, a viral stun
the screen a stage, the mind entranced
as time slipped out like thinning chance
a platform wired to wants and speed
the human form now just a feed

the loop breathes slow
and memory blurs

stay awhile – the feed is calling
stay awhile – your time is falling
stay awhile – it won’t take much
just your gaze, your soul, your touch

the market breathes but leaves no space
for thought, for pause, for human grace
searching for self in endless glass
but all we find is what will pass

image by image, frame by frame
we chase the light, forget our name
the net shines bright but cuts through skin
it offers freedom, locks us in
the phone burns hot like frozen flame
we lose ourselves and feel no shame

stay awhile
you’re almost real

stay awhile – the feed is calling
stay awhile – your time is falling
stay awhile – it won’t take much
just your gaze, your soul, your touch

your silence is noticed
but not by them



Stay awhile

About Dirmardor

I’m Dirmardor, a professional expert in making sure nothing ever works out. 🎛️ My music career is basically a guided tour through all the ways you can fail with style. If you’ve ever wanted to hear the sound of plans falling apart or dreams politely collapsing, welcome to the right place. 🚧🎶

I’ve read all 999 pages of Failing in Stereo—twice—so trust me when I say I know how to turn ambition into confusion, and effort into chaos. My beats are like IKEA furniture: some assembly required, no guarantees. 🔧 Lyrics? Think of them as honest notes from someone who knows that "almost" is as good as it gets. 📓

I make music because I can't not make it. You might enjoy it, you might not. Either way, I’m here, pressing buttons and hoping for the best. Probably the worst, though. That’s more on brand. 🎹🩲

Über Dirmardor

Ich bin Dirmardor, ein absoluter Fachmann darin, dass nichts jemals klappt. 🎛️ Meine Musikkarriere ist eigentlich eine geführte Tour durch alle Arten, wie man mit Stil scheitern kann. Wenn du jemals den Klang von zerfallenden Plänen oder höflich zusammenbrechenden Träumen hören wolltest – willkommen, du bist hier richtig. 🚧🎶

Ich kenne alle 999 Seiten von Scheitern in Stereo – zweimal gelesen – also glaub mir, ich weiß, wie man Ambitionen in Verwirrung verwandelt und Mühe in Chaos. Meine Beats sind wie IKEA-Möbel: etwas Eigenbau, keine Garantie. 🔧 Texte? Eher ehrliche Notizen von jemandem, der weiß, dass "fast" das Beste ist, was man bekommt. 📓

Ich mache Musik, weil ich nicht anders kann. Vielleicht gefällt sie dir, vielleicht nicht. So oder so, ich bin hier, drücke Knöpfe und hoffe auf das Beste. Vermutlich auf das Schlimmste. Das passt besser zu mir. 🎹🩲

Nine years ago, I turned to music for mental health support, and after recent mini-strokes led to retirement, I found new inspiration in AI music. Creating music now aids my recovery, and while it's for me, I’ve chosen to share it with the world.
