Modern Love
~~~~~~~~~~
To the lost love in our modern times... For you, for me, but most importantly, for the lost.
~~~~~~~~~~
(Verse 1)
In a world that's always moving, we're standing still,
Lost in screens, searching for something real,
Heartbeats echo through the digital haze,
Love feels distant in these modern days.

(Pre-Chorus)
We're swiping right, left, feeling so disconnected,
Ghosts in the night, love misdirected,
Texting words that never seem to say,
What we're feeling in this digital fray.

(Chorus)
Caught in the web of our own creation,
Yearning for love, but lost in translation,
Modern love, where did we go wrong?
Searching for truth in this endless song.

~~~~~~~~
Searching for truth in this endless song.
~~~~~~~~

(Verse 2)
Messages fade, but the loneliness stays,
We're just avatars in a game we play,
Likes and hearts, but no real embrace,
In this modern love, we're losing grace.

(Bridge)
Echoes of promises, whispers of dreams,
In the digital tide, we're bursting at the seams,
Trying to find a way back to when,
Love was simple, way back when.

(Chorus)
Caught in the web of our own creation,
Yearning for love, but lost in translation,
Modern love, where did we go wrong?
Searching for truth in this endless song.

~~~~~~~~
Searching for truth in this endless song.
~~~~~~~~~

(Verse 3)
We post our lives, but the truth is hidden,
Behind the smiles, our hearts are forbidden,
To show the pain, the cracks in the facade,
In this modern love, we're all so flawed.

(Verse 4)
We say we're fine, but the silence speaks,
In the midnight hour, when the heart seeks,
A touch, a glance, something more profound,
In this digital love, we're so spellbound.

(Bridge 2)
Voicemails left on read, emotions left unsaid,
In this tangled web, where our souls have bled,
Can we break these chains, find a new way,
To love each other, beyond the display?

(Pre-Chorus)
We're swiping right, left, feeling so disconnected,
Ghosts in the night, love misdirected,
Texting words that never seem to say,
What we're feeling in this digital fray.

(Chorus)
Caught in the web of our own creation,
Yearning for love, but lost in translation,
Modern love, where did we go wrong?
Searching for truth in this endless song.

~~~~~~~~
Searching for truth in this endless song.
~~~~~~~~~

(Outro)
In this digital age, we're drifting apart,
Searching for signals to mend a broken heart,
Modern love, can we find our way?
Back to each other, let love light the way.

~~~~~~~~
Searching for truth in this endless song.
~~~~~~~~~

(Outro)
In this digital age, we're drifting apart,
Searching for signals to mend a broken heart,
Modern love, can we find our way?
Back to each other, let love light the way.
~~~~~~~~~

I was searching for something real
Lost in a world that couldn’t feel

A touch that opened up my senses

In this love, we’re so divine
Beyond the words, beyond the mind
Every step, I feel you near

Silence of Goodbye
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The silence after a goodbye is sometimes the toughest part. I'm releasing my pain with the hope that you can as well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Verse 1:
I remember the nights we stayed up late,
Talking about dreams we'd chase,
Your smile lit up the darkest days,
Now it’s gone without a trace.

Pre-Chorus:
Your laughter echoes in my mind,
A melody I can't leave behind,
Our moments fade like falling stars,
Leaving me with these scars.

Chorus:
Where did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.

Verse 2:
I trace the path we used to walk,
Every word, every heartfelt talk,
The future we planned slips through my hands,
Now I stand where we used to stand.

Pre-Chorus:
Your laughter echoes in my mind,
A melody I can't leave behind,
Our moments fade like falling stars,
Leaving me with these scars.

Where did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.

Bridge:
If I could turn back time, I'd hold you close,
Tell you all the things you should've known,
But now I'm left with this heavy dose,
Of love that's lost, and a heart of stone.

Chorus:
Where did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.
How did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.

Pre-Outro:
So I'll carry on with this silent pain,
Through the tears and the pouring rain,
In the echoes of our love, I'll remain,
Forever lost in the memory of your name.

Chorus:
Where did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.
How did we go wrong, my heart's own flame?
In the silence of goodbye, nothing's the same,
Every step I take feels like a dream,
Lost in the shadows of what might have been.

Outro:
So I'll carry on with this silent pain,
Through the tears and the pouring rain,
In the echoes of our love, I'll remain,
Forever lost in the memory of your name.

Lines of Gold
~~~~~~~~~
I sent you letters in the dead of night...
~~~~~~~~~
Verse 1:
I wrote to you in lines of gold,
Stories of a love that I hoped you’d hold,
Each word a bridge to where we once stood,
A melody of dreams that seemed so good.

Pre-Chorus:
In every letter, my heart’s plea,
A canvas of hopes for you to see,
But silence turned the pages cold,
The echoes of my feelings left untold.

Chorus:
I sent you letters in the dead of night,
Wishing on stars for you to see the light,
Every sentence, a part of me,
Lost in the silence, longing to be,
A voice in the dark, reaching out so clear,
Hoping you'd find what’s buried here.

Verse 2:
Each letter penned with trembling hands,
A portrait of a love that never spans,
I searched for signs in every line,
Hoping your heart would intertwine.

Pre-Chorus:
In every letter, my heart’s plea,
A canvas of hopes for you to see,
But silence turned the pages cold,
The echoes of my feelings left untold.

Verse 3:
Now I see the ink has dried,
On dreams and wishes that we tried,
Each page a map of where we’ve been,
A testament to a love unseen.

Chorus:
I sent you letters in the dead of night,
Wishing on stars for you to see the light,
Every sentence, a part of me,
Lost in the silence, longing to be,
A voice in the dark, reaching out so clear,
Hoping you'd find what’s buried here.

Verse 3:
Now I see the ink has dried,
On dreams and wishes that we tried,
Each page a map of where we’ve been,
A testament to a love unseen.

I sent you letters in the dead of night,
Wishing on stars for you to see the light,
Every sentence, a part of me,
Lost in the silence, longing to be,
A voice in the dark, reaching out so clear,
Hoping you'd find what’s buried here.

Outro:
So I’ll keep these letters close to my soul,
A testament to a love that made me whole,
In the silence, I’ll find my way,
With the echoes of the words I couldn’t say.

Couldn't say
Couldn't say

Through the Fractures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a rough couple years for me, an extremely traumatic injury and a broken heart almost beat me. But now I've realize, "I'm not broken, I'm breaking free! I'm redefining what strength means to me!".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Verse 1:
I'm shattered, broken to the bone,
Pieces of me I no longer own.
But in the wreckage, I see the light,
Cracks are showing, but I won’t fight.
I'm bending, not breaking, this is how I grow,
From the ashes, I rise, it's all I know.

Pre-Chorus:
In the dark, I’m finding the way,
Every break leads to a brighter day.
I’m not falling apart, I’m breaking through,
Rebuilding stronger, creating something new.

Chorus:
These cracks are where the light shines in,
I’m not losing, I’m learning how to win.
In every piece that’s shattered on the floor,
I’m finding courage to be something more.
Not broken, I'm breaking free,
Redefining what strength means to me.

Verse 2:
Every scar is a mark I wear with pride,
Reminds me of the storms I survived.
I’m not afraid of what’s left behind,
Because I’m finding a new frame of mind.
The pain is how I know I'm alive,
Through every crack, I thrive.

Pre-Chorus:
In the dark, I’m finding the way,
Every break leads to a brighter day.
I’m not falling apart, I’m breaking through,
Rebuilding stronger, creating something new.

Chorus:
These cracks are where the light shines in,
I’m not losing, I’m learning how to win.
In every piece that’s shattered on the floor,
I’m finding courage to be something more.
Not broken, I'm breaking free,
Redefining what strength means to me.

Verse 3:
Every scar is a mark I wear with pride,
Reminds me of the storms I survived.
I’m not afraid of what’s left behind,
Because I’m finding a new frame of mind.
Not broken, I'm breaking free,
Redefining what strength means to me.

Bridge:
In the silence, I hear the call,
To stand up after every fall.
I’m not afraid to be torn down,
It’s where I find my solid ground.

Outro:
These cracks let all the light pour through,
I’m not the same, I’m someone new.
In every shattered piece I find,
A stronger heart, a clearer mind.
Not broken, just breaking free,
This is what strength looks like in me.
In the cracks, I’m coming alive,
Through the fractures, I will survive.

These cracks let all the light pour through,
I’m not the same, I’m someone new.
In every shattered piece I find,
A stronger heart, a clearer mind.
Not broken, just breaking free,
This is what strength looks like in me.
In the cracks, I’m coming alive,
Through the fractures, I will survive.

Through the Fractures

Because of You
~~~~~~~~~~~
This song is a piece of everything I’ve felt,
Everything I wanted to say but didn’t know how.
You’ve been the reason behind so much of what I have done,
Especially with my music.
No matter what happens,
I just want you to know that you've helped me grow,
And you’ve been the driving force behind a lot of the changes I’ve made in my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Verse 1:
I used to stumble, fall behind,
But you gave me reason, you cleared my mind.
Every step I took, I took for you,
Through every storm, it’s your light I knew.
You never saw the battles that I fought,
The endless nights, the wars I thought I’d lost.
But in the quiet, when hope was thin,
It was you who made me believe again.

Pre-Chorus:
You don't know the strength you've given me,
In your shadow, I found who I could be.
Even though you’re far away,
It’s your voice that makes me stay.

Chorus 1:
Because of you, I’m stronger now,
Through every doubt, I learned how
To rise above, to break through the pain,
You’re the reason I stand again.
Because of you, I found my way,
Even in the darkest days,
I pushed through just to prove,
I'm better now because of you.

Verse 2:
I worked through the hurt, I worked through the fight,
Knowing somehow, I'd find the light.
All those nights when I wanted to quit,
I held on tight to the thought of it—
Of you, of us, of what could be,
The love that still burns inside of me.
You’re the reason I never gave in,
In your memory, I’ll always win.

Pre-Chorus:
You don’t know how much you made me see,
The strength and fire deep inside of me.
And though we’re worlds apart,
I carry you here in my heart.

Chorus 2:
Because of you, I’m still standing tall,
Even when I stumble, I don’t fall.
You gave me hope when all was dark,
You lit the flame, you sparked the spark.
Because of you, I faced my fears,
I’ve grown stronger through the years.
I pushed through just to prove,
I'm better now because of you.

Bridge:
If I could tell you, if you could know,
How far I’ve come, how much I've grown,
I’d say it’s you, you lit the flame,
And nothing for me has been the same.
I don’t need to see your face,
To know you’re still my saving grace.

Chorus 3:
Because of you, I’ve found my truth,
Through every scar, through every bruise.
You taught me strength, you made me see,
I am who I’m meant to be.
Because of you, I’m breaking through,
Every step, I owe to you.
I pushed through just to prove,
I'm better now because of you.

Outro:
Because of you, I’ll never fall,
You’ve always been the reason for it all.
I’ll keep going, I’ll stay strong,
I’m better now... because of you Kiwi

Moving Forward
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In every fall, there's a rise—moving forward is the only way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Intro:]
The sun is rising, new day’s in sight...
I’ve been through the storm, now I’m chasing the light...

[Verse]
Had my share of heartache, but I’m still standing tall,
Every time I stumble, I learn from the fall.
Life’s a wave I’m riding, with the flow, 
No turning back, just watching it grow.
I’m moving forward, but I’m still standing tall,
Every time I stumble, I learn from the fall.
Life’s a wave I’m riding, with the flow, 
No turning back, just watching it grow.
No turning back, just watching it grow.

[Chorus]
I’m moving forward, brighter skies ahead,
Leaving behind all the words unsaid.
With every beat, I’m finding my stride,
Living for the moment, with nothing to hide.

[Bridge:]
Step by step, I’m finding my way,
Learning to dance through every day.
The future’s wide open, I feel it clear,
Taking on the world, without any fear.

[Outro]
Moving forward, no looking behind,
With the beat in my heart and peace in my mind.
I’m moving forward... yeah, I’m moving forward.

I’m moving forward,

Leaving behind all the words unsaid.
With every beat, I’m finding my stride,
Living for the moment, with nothing to hide.

Step by step, I’m finding my way,
Learning to dance through every day.
The future’s wide open, I feel it clear,
Taking on the world, without any fear.

Moving forward, no looking behind,
With the beat in my heart and peace in my mind.
I’m moving forward... yeah, I’m moving forward.

Electric Sunrise
~~~~~~~~~~
Electric sunrise, paint my sky!
~~~~~~~~~~
[Verse]
Sunrise kisses the sky
Golden light our guide
Ocean whispers drift by
You right by my side

[Verse 2]
City wakes with a hum
Streetlights fade to grey
Beats find a steady drum
In this dawning day

[Chorus]
Electric sunrise glow
Feel the sparks explode
Rhythms in the flow
On this endless road

[Verse 3]
Neon lights start to dim
Bass drops with each pulse
Vibrations on a whim
Breaking from the null

[Bridge]
Waves of sound collide
Hearts beating in time
Hands up to the sky
Lost in the grind

[Chorus]
Electric sunrise glow
Feel the sparks explode
Rhythms in the flow
On this endless road

[Outro]
Electric sunrise glow
Feel the sparks explode
Electric sunrise glow
Feel the sparks explode
Rhythms in the flow
On this endless road
~~~~~~~~~~

Electric Sunrise

Forever You

A Christmas gift, from me to you...

This song is for someone I’ll always hold close in my heart—Kiwi. Her spirit, her laughter, and her light inspired me to begin my creative journey. Her laugh is something I carry with me every day.

Sometimes it’s like there’s this unseen force pulling the strings when I’m creating, aligning everything in ways I couldn’t even plan if I tried. It’s wild, but it’s also the kind of magic that happens when I’m so in tune with what I’m making that the art almost takes on a life of its own.

It’s like my instincts bypass all logic and I just know what to do. The sounds lining up perfectly, despite not being intentionally timed, are exactly the kind of chaos-meets-harmony vibes that define my sound. It’s a Dag Mout moment in its purest form. I’ve said it before—life, like my music, is full of imperfections that somehow create something perfect.

These “accidents” are my subconscious nailing what my conscious mind couldn’t. I didn’t overthink it, and that’s why it works. It’s like the song wanted to be this way and it just needed me to put the pieces down. It’s trippy, it’s surreal, and it’s me.

~~Don’t fight it; embrace it. This is how masterpieces are born.~~

[Verse 1]
I still hear it, soft and clear,
A sound that time won’t disappear.
Like whispers dancing through the air,
Your laughter lives, though you’re not there.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your melody lingers in my soul,
A fleeting piece that made me whole.
But as it fades, I’m left behind,
Chasing echoes in my mind.

[Chorus]
Your laughter’s like a song I can’t forget,
A sweet refrain wrapped in regret.
It’s the light in the dark, a fleeting spark,
The sound of love that left its mark.

[Verse 2]
In every smile, in every breeze,
It feels like you’re still here with me.
But shadows fall, and silence grows,
Your voice’s warmth, the thing I miss most.

[Bridge]
I try to move, I try to heal,
But your laugh’s the wound I still feel.
A harmony both bright and blue,
A piece of me, forever you.

[Chorus]
Your laughter’s like a song I can’t forget,
A sweet refrain wrapped in regret.
It’s the light in the dark, a fleeting spark,
The sound of love that left its mark.

In every smile, in every breeze,
A sweet refrain wrapped in regret.
It’s the light in the dark, a fleeting spark,
The sound of love that left its mark.

[Pre Outro]
Though you’re gone, the music stays,
A memory that won’t decay.
Your laughter echoes in my mind,
A melody, a tie that binds.

A tie that binds.

[Chorus Out]
Your laughter’s like a song I can’t forget,
A sweet refrain wrapped in regret.
It’s the light in the dark, a fleeting spark,
The sound of love that left its mark.

In every smile, in every breeze,
It feels like you’re still here with me.
But shadows fall, and silence grows,
Your voice’s warmth, the thing I miss most.

Ugh that was really the longest game ever.
~~~~~~~~~
This song isn’t just music; it’s a bridge between us, even if it feels like the longest, most uncertain game we’ve ever played. 
~~~~~~~~~

Forever You

Every beat, every note.
A step through struggle.
A spark of triumph.
A taste of something real.

In Sufism, “dhawq” - meaning tasting - is the personal experience of the divine, felt deeply through prayer, meditation, and music.

I’m pioneering Dag Mout, a genre born from chaos and emotion:
Crooked notes.
Distorted melodies.
Unconventional rhythms.
Heavy bass.
Dag Mout is sound that breaks the mold - because life does too.

It's more than a genre.
It's an evolving soundscape where light meets dark, and chaos finds harmony.

Controlled chaos.
Emotion as warfare.
Transformation through distortion.
Together we burn.

D.H.A.W.Q. (Pronounced “Dock”)

Depth. Harmony. Authenticity. Wonder. Quest.

• Depth - Music that pulls you in.
• Harmony - A balance between chaos and calm.
• Authenticity - No masks. No filters. Just truth.
• Wonder - Creativity fueled by awe and curiosity.
• Quest - A journey to leave something that matters behind.
