The Sky Beyond The Shattered Truth

“Let It Sting” is a song I wrote out of betrayal — not just the pain of it, but the aftermath. It’s about being left behind and refusing to disappear.

This isn’t a breakup song. It’s a reckoning. It’s the voice you tried to bury but still echoes in your quiet moments. I wanted to capture what it feels like when someone moves on too quickly, and you become the ghost in their new life — the one who knows the truth behind the calm.

Let It Sting is my closure — not in forgiveness, but in being unforgettable.

[Verse 1]
I’m a shadow in your silence, cold and torn
Drifting weightless, like a spirit left to roam
You’re with her now, in your warmth, so safe and near
Does her touch erase the echo of my fear?

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s your light, so flawless, stealing all your gaze
But my ghost still lingers, haunting through your days
You think she’s your forever, your heart’s new claim
Yet I burn to hear you whisper back my name

[Chorus]
You were mine, let me be your only vice
Feel my shadow when you hold her in the night
I was yours before her heart could stake its claim
Let my memory sear you when you speak her name

[Post-Chorus]
And I pray it stings
(Let it sting…)
Every touch she brings
Let your comfort fade
In the truth you betrayed

[Verse 2]
You play calm, but I can see your mask unwind
When my fire starts to spark, you lose your mind
Your devotion only blooms when I’m on my knees
But I’m rising now, and you’ll crave what you can’t seize

[Pre-Chorus 2]
She’s your peace, untouched, the calm you crave at night
But I’m the flame beneath the cracks you try to hide
You call her home now, build your alibi
But I still echo every time you lie

[Chorus]
Say my name, let me be your only vice
Feel my silence underneath your new delight
I was truth before her heart rewrote your game
Let the echo break you when you speak her name

[Post-Chorus]
And I pray it stings
(Let it sting…)
Every vow that rings
Let her kiss feel cold
When you dream of my soul

[Bridge:]
You chose her hands, but not her soul
She can’t reach the parts I stole
You bury deep what you can’t erase
I’m the truth beneath the haze

You can’t outrun
The love you left to fade
(Let it sting…)

[Final Chorus:]
Not like me, she won’t bleed for what you broke
Feel her calm while I ignite the ghost you spoke
I was fire before her light could fake its flame
Let my memory scream when you speak her name

LET IT STING!

Oh my Love, I will be your deepest scar
Feel my silence when you’re chasing who you are
I was truth before her heart rewrote your game
Let my memory scream when you speak her name

[Final Post-Chorus:]
And I pray it stings
(Let it sting…)
Every lie you sing
Let your peace decay
In the bed you made
(Let it sting…)
(Let it sting…)
You can’t outrun
The love you left to fade
(Let it sting…)

One Bad Day

I wrote “Fading in Your Chains” after hearing the story of a woman close to my wife — someone whose relationship had gone from love to control. Her husband didn’t hit her, but he broke her in other ways: emotionally, psychologically, piece by piece. She was giving everything, and still losing herself in the process.

This song is written from her perspective — not as a cry for help, but as a quiet scream from inside the prison of a toxic love. The kind of relationship that starts with passion but ends with isolation. Where you stay not because you’re weak, but because you’ve been worn down so slowly, you forget what freedom even looks like.

The music follows that descent: dark, ambient textures, haunting vocals, and lyrics that unravel just like she did. Fading in Your Chains is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by someone they once trusted.

If this is your story — or someone you love — you’re not alone. And you're not weak for wanting out.


[Intro]
(Fading in your chains, I’m fading)
(Lost inside your flame, I’m breaking)

[Verse 1]
You swore we’d soar where stars align
Now your words cut sharp, my breath’s confined
Trapped inside the walls your love became
I’m a ghost, too frail to break the chain

[Pre-Chorus]
God, my soul’s unraveling
Tangled in your cruel sting

[Chorus]
I’m tearing myself apart to keep you whole
Bleeding through the dark to save your soul
How can you wound the heart you swore to hold? Oh, God
I’m tearing myself apart to keep you whole
Sacrificing all to calm your storm
Why do you leave me shattered on the floor?

[Verse 2]
Should I scream for someone to hear?
My voice is caged, drowned in silent fear
You built this maze, locked out everyone
I’m fading fast, but can’t find strength to run

[Pre-Chorus]
God, my soul’s unraveling
Tangled in your cruel sting

[Chorus]
I’m tearing myself apart to keep you whole
Bleeding through the dark to save your soul
How can you wound the heart you swore to hold? Oh, God
I’m tearing myself apart to keep you whole
Sacrificing all to calm your storm
Why do you leave me shattered on the floor?

[Final Chorus]
I’m tearing at the seams, and still you don’t see
Losing who I was to keep your peace
Why do I bleed to hold what’s killing me?
I’m drowning in your storm, no light, no shore
Still I kneel beside your war
Why do you leave me shattered on the floor?

[Outro]
I'M FADING...
I'm Lost...
(Lost in chains you forged…)
I'm Breaking...
(I’m breaking…)
(Fading in your chains…)

Fading in Your Chains

[Verse 1]
A spectral pulse, through broken sky
Crimson codes—won’t let me die
Her shape distorts—an endless wire
I’m trapped within her dark desire

She moves through night, a shadow light
A surge that steals, my final fight
I chase her glow, lost in the chains
Ensnared by echoes, where she reigns

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lattice of stars
Ghosts in the scars
Pulse, breath, and flame
Drawn to her reign

[Chorus]
Event horizon, she fractures through my core
Event horizon, a force I can’t ignore
No refuge, I’m tethered to her reign
A phantom tide in this astral plane

[Post-Chorus]
She claims the void
My stars destroyed

[Verse 2]
Her voice, a hum—through data streams
She twists the night—my haunted dreams
Distorted riffs, her gravity
I’m locked inside her mystery

Her gaze, twin voids—unravel me
A chaos surge—I crave to see
She’s the cipher, I can’t decode
A soul consumed—forever owed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Glow of the sun
Spark where begun
Current and flare
Stripped and laid bare

[Chorus]
Event horizon, she fractures through my core
Event horizon, a force I can’t ignore
No refuge, I’m tethered to her reign
A phantom tide in this astral plane

[Post-Chorus]
She claims the void
My stars destroyed

[Bridge]
Starlight bends—her fleeting shape
Pulse inside—this cosmic rift
Her form, a surge—of radiant code
Where gravity—begins to shift
Darkness weaves—her signal burns
Endless void—that won’t return

[Final Chorus]
Event horizon, she fractures through my core
Event horizon, a force I can’t ignore
No refuge, I’m tethered to her reign
A phantom tide in this astral plane

[Final Post-Chorus]
She claims the void
My stars destroyed
She claims the void
My stars destroyed

[Outro]
Event horizon…
She’s the signal… she’s the void…
Drifting through the grid… eternal in the night…
She’s the signal… she’s the void…
Drifting through the grid… eternal in the night…

Event Horizon

🇫🇷
Dans l’ombre rouge de Paris, « Rien à Payer » réinvente la révolte à la française. Ce morceau fusionne rock alternatif, énergie punk, et flow rap sur une toile monochrome, où un jeune punk blond défie la nuit au sommet de la ville.

Entre riffs électriques, refrains scandés et attitude rebelle, c’est l’hymne d’une génération qui brûle ses regrets, fait table rase du passé et revendique sa liberté. Plus qu’une chanson, « Rien à Payer » est une déclaration—un cri de renaissance sous les lumières rouges de la capitale.

🇬🇧
In the red shadows of Paris, “Rien à Payer” reinvents French rebellion for a new era. This track fuses alternative rock, punk energy, and rap flow over a monochrome canvas, where a young blonde punk stands defiant atop the city.

With electrifying riffs, shout-along choruses, and a fierce, rebellious spirit, it’s the anthem of a generation burning its regrets, sweeping away the past, and claiming freedom. More than a song, “Rien à Payer” is a declaration—a cry of rebirth under the crimson lights of the city.

Tout brûle…
Rien ne me retient.
C’est fini les chaînes,
Je marche sur les cendres.

J’ai vendu mes regrets à la casse,
Effacé les dettes, explosé les glaces,
Pas d’excuses, pas de retour en arrière,
Aujourd’hui, je respire, je brise la poussière.

Ils veulent me voir plié, genoux à terre,
Mais j’crache sur leurs règles, j’ai rien à leur faire.
Le passé, c’est du plomb, j’le jette dans la Seine—
Sur ma peau tatouée, il ne reste plus de chaînes.

Tu croyais m’avoir,
Tu croyais m’étouffer,
Mais j’ai transformé la douleur en force
Et la peur en liberté.

Non !
(Rien à payer !)
Non !
(Rien à regretter !)
Non !
(Rien à plier !)
Non !
(Je suis né pour brûler !)

J’ai rayé leurs visages, effacé les prénoms,
Craché sur leurs lois, repris mon prénom,
Les souvenirs—cendres au vent,
J’renais chaque instant, plus vivant, plus sanglant.

On m’a dit « Tu dois oublier »
Mais j’ai gravé l’avenir dans le béton fissuré.
J’porte le chaos comme une couronne,
Je repars à zéro, et tout le monde frissonne.

Rien à sauver,
Rien à effacer,
J’me fous du passé,
C’est moi qui vais tracer !

Non !
(Rien à payer !)
Non !
(Rien à regretter !)
Non !
(Rien à plier !)
Non !
(Je suis né pour brûler !)

J’ai pris chaque coup, chaque trahison,
Transformé en munitions.
Je suis la tempête, la détonation—
Libéré de toute condition !

Non !
(Rien à payer !)
Non !
(Rien à regretter !)
Non !
(Rien à plier !)
Non !
(Je suis né pour brûler !)

Rien à Payer

"Hellbound" is a gritty blues-rock hymn for the burned and unbowed. With thunderous guitar riffs, gospel-soaked backing vocals, and dispassionate female vocals that cut like smoke through stained glass, it tells the tale of a rebel soul riding the line between sin and salvation. The sound rides deep — syncopated basslines, heavy drums, and spiritual fire — soaked in the dusty heat of defiance and redemption. This is the anthem for the lost ones who sing louder in the dark. Let the flames begin.


Hellbound

A cursed thrift-store find changes everything. Before the lights, before the stage, she was no one. But once she wore the jacket… the spirit took hold. With gritty female vocals, possessed guitar solos, and riot-fueled chants, “Till the Jacket” is a supernatural pop rock anthem about rebirth through haunted threads and six strings of fury.

Till the Jacket

[Verse 1]
In shadows deep where secrets sleep,
I wander alone in silent grief.
A silver doe in midnight’s glow,
Whispers of love lost long ago.

[Verse 2]
The wind, a ghost, murmurs her name,
Her laughter fades like a dying flame.
By starlit rivers my dreams adrift,
In every breeze, I feel her shift.

[Chorus]
Forever haunted, shadows fall,
Her whispered name, my silent call.
In every breath, a fading light,
I chase the ghost that haunts the night.

[Bridge]
Memories trace a midnight sky,
Faded roses and whispered sighs.
On cliffs, old vows echo in the night,
While the ocean mourns in pale moonlight.

[Verse 3]
Barren fields under a sorrowed sky,
Wilted petals of dreams gone by.
Every step is a silent plea,
Haunted forever by her memory.

[Chorus]
Forever haunted, shadows fall,
Her whispered name, my silent call.
In every breath, a fading light,
I chase the ghost that haunts the night.

[Outro]
In twilight’s arms, my heart remains unsealed,
A whispered love—a wound never healed.

———

A silver doe wanders through memory’s ruins.
"Moonlight" is a ghostly lament wrapped in post-rock textures and cinematic sorrow—violin weeps through a haunted 120 BPM pulse, while guitars and drums echo the ache of a love long buried but never gone. Baritone vocals narrate solitude beneath starless skies, tracing lost vows, spectral winds, and dreams adrift.
This is for those who love deeply, grieve in silence, and hear whispers in the wind.

Multidimensional being, trapped in a physical realm experience.

I'm a boundary-pushing artist whose work fuses raw poetry, immersive soundscapes, and striking visual artistry into a singular creative vision. I independently crafts every facet of my art—vocals, composition, production, lyricism, and artwork—transforming deep personal introspection into electrifying sonic narratives. My music channels the raw energy of alternative/progressive rock, the haunting ambience of post-punk, and the ethereal depth of indie, with just enough metal edge to ignite catharsis.

Behind the artistry lies a journey marked by profound resilience. Three years ago, an unfortunate accident not only left me with partial vocal cord paralysis—making every performance a testament to endurance—but also robbed him of the ability to play the piano, my favorite creative outlet, forever. Refusing to be subdued by these setbacks, I reinvented my approach: I embraced digital techniques to rediscover my passion for music and, similarly, taught myself digital art. My Instagram is now a vibrant gallery of my new creative endeavors, where drawing and digital expression take center stage.

I aspired to see my personal poetry evolve into emotionally impactful anthems, and my self-crafted visuals extend the narrative of internal struggle and rebirth. Now, as I push my creative vision into new sonic territories, I'm seeking a lead female vocalist to join me on my next project—an invitation to explore fresh harmonies and deeper dimensions of storytelling.

I have a hypothesis regarding music, which is: matter in our universe is perpetually in motion; nothing remains completely still. It resembles an everlasting dance, influenced by the smallest forms of existence that define matter at a quantum level. Furthermore, the very fabric of space-time is composed of waves. Therefore, I can only speculate that our universe communicates with us through sound and music.


If math is the language of the universe, then music must be its poetry.
