🔻 Song Insight

“Hands Pressed” is a quiet collapse in slow motion — a cry beneath the surface, searching for connection through the echoes of loss.
It captures the aching loneliness of realizing that the person who once felt like salvation was only ever an illusion.
The song lives between memory and water, where sound becomes a heartbeat and silence becomes the only witness.

With fingerpicked acoustic guitar, subtle reverb, and faint water textures, Hands Pressed unfolds like a confession whispered in an empty room.
The child’s voice in the intro sets the emotional gravity — innocence calling out into nothingness — while the chorus becomes both plea and eulogy: “You left me here drowning, hands pressed over my ears.”

This isn’t just heartbreak; it’s the sound of reclaiming yourself from emotional neglect.
Every breath, every string vibration, carries the truth that healing doesn’t come from answers — it comes from finally stopping the question.

🔻 Lyrics

[Pre-Intro]
(Guitar strumming)

[Intro – Child’s Voice]*
“Is there anybody out there?”
“Is there anybody out there?”

[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy,
I sank below — just enough to breathe.
The water wrapped around me,
Steel sounds humming through.
A voice said softly,
“You won’t always be alone.”

[Pre-Chorus]
But the water turned cold,
And I grew old,
That voice just drifted away.
So I started asking…
Is there anybody out there?
I need to know —
Is there anybody out there?

[Chorus]
You left me here drowning,
Hands pressed over my ears.
No savior in the silence —
Just the weight of wasted years.
If love was real,
It would have found me here.
But you were never love,
You were never real.

[Verse 2]
The details blur together now,
I never understood your mind.
You weaponized affection,
Used my past as a crime.
Wrapped me tight in your lies,
Then left me behind.

Now I’m back where I started,
Still asking why.
All I have to show
Is this broken heart of mine.

[Chorus]
You left me here drowning,
Hands pressed over my ears.
No savior in the silence —
Just the weight of wasted years.
If love was real,
It would have found me here.
But you were never love,
You were never real.

[Bridge]
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?

I was a boy who used to dream,
Warm water held me safe.
Echoes on the steel tub sang,
“You’re not alone today.”

But that was all I had —
An empty love, an empty tub.
Shaking from the cold,
Reality collects its toll.

No warmth without a price,
I learned it far too young.
Love is never free —
There’s always a song to be sung.

[Final Chorus]
You left me here drowning,
Hands pressed over my ears.
No savior in the silence —
Just the weight of wasted years.
If love was real,
It would have found me here.
But you were never love,
You were never real.

[Outro – Distant Child’s Voice, fading]
“Is there anyone out there?”
“Anyone out there?”

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song came from the quietest part of grief — that space between screaming and silence.
“Hands Pressed” was born out of exhaustion, from the years of trying to be heard by someone who only wanted to echo their own voice.
It’s about emotional deafness — when love becomes one-sided, and silence turns into self-preservation.

For me, it was the moment of surrender. Not to the pain, but to peace — the understanding that I can’t rescue someone who’s determined to drown.
Now the water doesn’t represent fear; it represents release.

Hands pressed

She is the end and the beginning.
Every step with her burns, every spin brings me back to life.
🔥 A ritual of surrender and resurrection.

A haunting tango where passion and mortality intertwine.
This song captures the essence of life through surrender — every step a heartbeat, every breath defiance. Inspired by The Doors, born from darkness, and glowing with life.

Tango of the Undying is a dark, hypnotic fusion of psychedelic rock and tango noir — a ritual of life, death, and desire.
Through smoke and rhythm, each song becomes a confession whispered to the night.
This is not an album — it’s a dance with the inevitable, a heartbeat shared with death and passion intertwined.
Haunting baritone vocals echo Morrison’s ghost, while Rhodes organs, bandoneons, and burning guitars paint a crimson stage where love bleeds and beauty refuses to die.
You don’t listen to this record — you feel it breathing through your bones.

Tango of the Undying

I Dance the Tango with Death (and That’s Why I Live)

"Dance with Death Tonight" is a haunting journey through the shadows of existence, where the living and the dead waltz together in an eternal masquerade. This melodic gothic art rock piece blends dark chamber pop aesthetics with orchestral grandeur — featuring slow-burning piano arpeggios, melancholic cello lines, ghostly choral harmonies, and atmospheric organ swells that build into a cinematic soundscape.
The song explores themes of existential dread, societal masks, and the thin veil between life and death. Through poetic lyrics and spoken word interludes, it paints a vivid portrait of souls trapped in cyclical suffering, dancing to forget their mortality in ballrooms lit by broken light. The outro closes with a nod to the eternal recurrence of fate.

🔻 Song Insight

“Hell Inside Me” is a descent into obsession, betrayal, and the shadow self that emerges when love mutates into torment. The track unfolds like a confession whispered from the edge of sanity — an industrial-gothic symphony where pain becomes ritual and passion burns like black fire. It’s not about revenge but recognition: the moment you realize the monster you feared was born from your own reflection. Each lyric cuts like serrated memory; every breath echoes through the corridors of regret.

🔻 Lyrics

Intro:
Eerie ambience

Prelude:
I hear the sound, it pulls me down
Shadow hands claw the ground
Dark beast under my bed
It's you, inside my head
Deeper down, I keep you sound
Under lock, you keep me bound
Eyes in the dark, whispering names
Fangs in the mist, calling my shame

Spoken Word:
"The deeper you dig, the less you feel
The less you feel, the more you need
The more you need, the less you breathe
The less you breathe, the more you bleed"

Verse 1:
Hunted me down, came in for the kill
I lay there waiting, against my will
Hell was born inside of me
You turned the knife to watch me bleed

Chorus:
Psychopathic passion, twisted and dark
Sadistic love left its true mark
Ripped my heart for all to see
You walked away and hell became me

Verse 2:
You said I was lost, hooked on you
But real love you never knew
Painted pain with every tear
Now I see your truth so clear

Bridge:
Hell was born inside of me
You turned the knife, watched me bleed

Final Chorus:
Psychopathic passion, twisted and dark
Sadistic love left its true mark
Ripped my heart for all to see
You walked away but hell followed me
Fire rose where my soul should be
Black flame crowned who I was to be

Outro:
Dark beast, under my bed

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song came from a place of confrontation — with memory, with guilt, and with the self that forms when trust burns away. “Hell Inside Me” isn’t about vengeance. It’s about the haunting that lingers long after the fire’s out. Sometimes, the hell we fear isn’t beneath us… it’s within us, whispering our name when the lights go out.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

For 4Me2BeFree, “Hell Inside Me” embodies the project’s cinematic darkness — blending gothic-industrial energy with raw human emotion. It’s where confession meets catharsis, where storytelling becomes exorcism. Each song in this universe blurs the line between pain and empowerment, proving that even in the abyss, truth can still sound beautiful.

Hell Inside Me

📓 5.11.2025, Diary Entry – Kairi’s an Merlin's Inferno

This song came from hell.
I didn’t write it — I bled it.
Every beat burned, every scream tore open the dark,
and what came out was truth.
If fire had a rhythm, it would sound like this.

YOU WILL DIE (With or Without Pressing Play)- Kairi’s and Merlin's Inferno

Cô ấy sống trong một thực tại đầy tổn thương mỗi lần trở về nhà là đối mặt với sự lạm dụng, bị đối xử như một người vô hình. Tình yêu thì mơ hồ, không chắc chắn. Cô không biết mình đang yêu ai, hay có đang được yêu không.
Để thoát khỏi nỗi đau, cô tìm đến những cơn say chất kích thích là lối thoát duy nhất, dù chỉ tạm thời. Nhưng giờ đây, một người mới xuất hiện. Anh ấy dịu dàng, khiến cô cảm thấy như mình có giá trị. Anh trở thành một “cơn say” mới một dạng nghiện khác, ngọt ngào hơn nhưng cũng đầy rối loạn.

English Translation:

She lives in a reality filled with pain every time she comes home, she faces abuse and is treated like she doesn’t matter. Her love life is uncertain, blurry. She doesn’t know who she loves, or if she’s even capable of being loved.
To escape the pain, she turns to getting high it’s her only way out, even if it’s temporary. But now, someone new has entered her life. He’s gentle, kind, and makes her feel seen. He becomes her new high  a sweeter addiction, but one that brings its own confusion.


Giữa Hai Cơn Say (Ft. NathalieDo)

Vòng Lặp Vô Tận” is a haunting melodic bass journey through the cyclical torment of addiction. With ghostly atmospheres and a soul-stained vocal performance, the track opens in a haze of ambient textures and distant echoes mirroring the numbness and isolation of relapse. As the tension builds, the first drop crashes in with cinematic force: melodic synths clash with distorted basslines, capturing the inner war between fleeting euphoria and crushing despair.
The lyrics trace the emotional spiral of a soul caught in a loop chasing relief, haunted by guilt, and yearning for escape. The second drop fractures into glitchy chaos, symbolizing the unraveling of control and the weight of self-destruction. Yet beneath the darkness, a flicker of hope pulses a reminder that even in the deepest void, the desire for healing still burns.
This is not just a song. It’s a confession, a cry, and a mirror held up to the shadows we try to outrun.

Vòng Lặp Vô Tận (Anhie Luong)

They wanted to break him. The world, the pain, the darkness — all together. But he found something stronger than death: the will to live. Is the war cry of a man who rises from the ashes and screams: "I'm still here!" Between dark synths and orchestral thunder lies the story of a phoenix who refuses to die

LEBENDIG

Exile becomes a wound that breathes: slow trembling strings, distant echoes, and the aching sense of separation. Juliet feels every step of his absence.

“Juliet in You” is a chamber opera in twelve scenes inspired by the eternal tragedy of Romeo and Juliet — not as a retelling, but as an inner journey. This album is not about Verona. It is about the Juliet that lives inside every soul that dares to love.

From the sleeping city to the garden after rain, this work follows the fragile path of love, sacrifice, loss, and quiet rebirth. Minimalist neoclassical textures, ambient shadows, whisper-vocals, and cinematic silence weave together a living трагедия of the heart.

This is not a story you listen to.
This is a story you feel happening inside you.

Juliet in You

Romeo in Exile

"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.
