I always thought
I wanted to be them
But little did I know

They were dumb
They were dumb as hell
Time for a new show

Wanting to be
Someone you're not
Watch my dreams
They will rot

I'm done following their
Dumb days
I'm done following their
Dumb ways

Make my dreams
Take a flight
I'm gonna start
I'm gonna start, tonight!

I'm done following their
Dumb days
I'm done following their
Dumb ways

Make my dreams
Take a flight
I'm gonna start
I'm gonna start, tonight!

I now understand
Who I am
I am the person
I am my own fan

I will make my mark
Make my stand
Spread respect
This is my land

I'm done following their
Dumb days
I'm done following their
Dumb ways

Make my dreams
Take a flight
I'm gonna start
I'm gonna start, tonight!

I'm done following their
Dumb days
I'm done following their
Dumb ways

Make my dreams
Take a flight
I'm gonna start

Fame is deceiving
Wealth is a mystery
Love is my way
Love is not history

Love is now
Love is pure
Love is what I what
Love will endure

I tried to be like them
But I was dumb
Their empty art
Little did I know
I was numb

Tricked into their fame
Tricked into their looks
Tricked into their dreams
Tricked, they were crooks

I'm done following their
Dumb days
I'm done following their
Dumb ways

Make my dreams
Take a flight
I'm gonna start
I'm gonna start, tonight!

Tricked by Their Fame

💔 "Disconnected Reality" 💻🔌 is a reflection on how dehumanization and isolation have infiltrated our lives through digital communications. 🌌 In a world where virtual masks hide true emotions and genuine interactions have become a rarity, this song invites us to stop and question: Are we truly connected? 🌍

🎶 With a focus on dark melodic techno and psytrance, "Disconnected Reality" uses deep, pulsating sounds to convey the disconnection we all feel in the digital age, while melodies guide us towards the pursuit of authenticity. This track expresses the need to filter our relationships and surround ourselves with the genuine, as we move away from the emptiness of superficial interactions.

🔊 Listen to the message behind the music and join the quest for true connections! 💖

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)  
Caught in the digital maze,  
Every message a hollow gaze.  
I can see your face but not your soul,  
Are we connected or just losing control?

(Pre-Chorus)  
Echoes of a life unseen,  
A flicker, a screen, a broken dream.  
Filtered words, disconnected minds,  
We leave the truth behind.

(Chorus)  
In the void of endless scroll,  
We’re lost in the noise, no one whole.  
Shadows of connections that never last,  
We reach for the future, but cling to the past.  
Disconnected reality, can we find clarity?  
Only the genuine remain, the rest is insanity.  

(Verse 2)  
Fingers typing but hearts grow cold,  
Behind the messages, stories untold.  
Hiding behind faceless names,  
Chasing the digital, forgetting the flames.

(Pre-Chorus)  
Trapped in a cycle of fake embrace,  
We long for a touch we can’t replace.  
The world is screaming, but all we hear,  
Is silence through the screen, crystal clear.

(Chorus)  
In the void of endless scroll,  
We’re lost in the noise, no one whole.  
Shadows of connections that never last,  
We reach for the future, but cling to the past.  
Disconnected reality, can we find clarity?  
Only the genuine remain, the rest is insanity.

(Bridge)  
Turn off the screens, face the light,  
Seek the truth behind the fight.  
Real connections, stripped of disguise,  
Where the soul meets the eyes.

(Outro)  
In the silence of the night,  
I find the real, I find the light.  
No more filters, no more lies,  
Just human hearts in endless skies.

Ep2 Unfiltered and Unscripted - The Power of Real Conversations

🎧 Song Insight – "This Is Me" by 4Me2BeFree
"This Is Me" is a raw, tongue-in-cheek anthem of self-reclamation, delivered with wit, warmth, and just enough sass to sidestep sentimentality. It speaks to the messy middle—where identity isn’t a fixed brand, but a living, breathing process. With a blend of alt-pop attitude and spoken-word cheekiness, the song captures the bittersweet freedom of not having all the answers... and not needing to. It’s for anyone who's ever felt unmoored and found power in that very uncertainty. From casting off performative masks to declaring autonomy in the loudest, most joyfully awkward way possible, this track is an ode to unfiltered selfhood—with a smirk.

🎙️ Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want to write, but I don’t know what I’m saying
The words come out, but they don’t stick... fading away
Used to spill feelings like ink on the floor—
Now I’m like... I just don’t care about that part anymore

[Verse 2]
I’m not lost
I’m just new here
Not broken
Still growing
Don’t know what I want yet
But you know what’s awesome?
I get to figure it out
Explore the parts I missed
Nothing’s better than having nothing
‘Cause there’s only perspective to gain

[Chorus]
But I know—
I’m better than where I was
I know myself
No regrets for who I’ve become
Wouldn’t trade this life
For anyone else’s dream
No need to be anyone but me

[Verse 3]
I’ve found my road
Don’t know the destination
But I know the driver… and he’s hot
And I like who he’s becoming
Lost the shadow of that stranger
Shedding the skin I used to wear

[Outro]
I don’t have to be plastic
No fake smiles far as the eye can see
Not pretending just to be seen
This ain’t a show, no illusions
Whatever the world throws
I know what it means to be real
To be me
Proud—
Alone or not
I’ll never fold
I’ll never fake
This is me
And I’m not going back
To plastic and green.

[Ext Outro]
…Did I mention the driver’s hot?!
You want my number?
Pager? AOL username??
I got you on MySpace!
...It's okay, I always got me.
And I ROCK!
(voice trailing off like they're yelling it down a hallway while the other person walks away laughing)

💬 Personal Reflection
I wrote this during a weirdly liberating phase—the kind where your whole identity feels like a reboot, but not in a polished, movie-montage kind of way. More like waking up and realizing the person you were trying so hard to be was exhausting, and maybe... kind of boring. “This Is Me” isn’t about being fully healed or knowing where I’m going—it’s about being okay with not knowing. It’s about joy in the chaos. And yeah, that last line? Totally based on real conversations. Because sometimes healing looks like laughing too loud in your own damn car.

🎤 4Me2BeFree
4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s a mirror. Every track is a chapter in the messy, beautiful book of becoming. This song celebrates the moment you stop editing yourself to fit someone else’s script. It's goofy. It’s grounded. And it means everything to finally say: this is me...and I’m good with that.

this is me

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
🌌 But ultimately, it defines its own world—one built from dark techno, darkwave, nu-jazz, and trap-rock fusion.
