LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the night edge like a blade
Falling through the sky dreams cascade
Fury in my veins, heart's betrayed
Lost among the lies memories fade 

[Verse 2]
Broken like a charm curse unfolds
Faces in the dark stories untold
Shattered hopes grip it all corrodes
Drowning in the void shadows mold 

[Chorus]
Screams echo loud in this void
Backlash feeding on what I destroyed
Rising up from the ashes, I won't avoid
This storm inside forever employed 

[Verse 3]
Hearts made of stone cold and stark
Hiding bruised scars deep in the dark
Chains of the past confine and mark
Surviving chaos, I leave my arc 

[Bridge]
Do you feel the weight of my rage
Every moment trapped in this cage
Battling demons on this stage
Finding freedom as I disengage 

[Chorus]
Screams echo loud in this void
Backlash feeding on what I destroyed
Rising up from the ashes, I won't avoid
This storm inside forever employed

Conceal

Heavily inspired by Too Far Gone by Soft Sirene but yet something new and personal in its own right. When life gives you lemons and you squeeze lemonade and the acid splashes into your eyes in the process.

Too Broken Down

I wrote this from the ache of wanting to be his little girl — but never quite being enough to capture his heart.He wasn’t my biological father, but he was the only one I knew. Still, no matter how hard I tried, I stayed on the outside.And when I chose to love a woman, I became the black sheep for good.This piece is my truth — the pain of rejection, and the strength of choosing myself anyway. schultzmelissa2025@gmail.com

Daddys Little Girl - The Black Sheep

I wrote The Black Sheep after facing rejection from the one person I thought would love me unconditionally — my father.Not because I failed, but because I chose love… and that love was a woman.This piece carries the ache of being cast out for living my truth — and the quiet strength of standing in it anyway. It’s about losing acceptance but finding freedom - I have no words but if you have experienced the same thing reach out to schultzmelissa2025@gmail.com

The Blacksheep

Inside the Girl I Buried is about the version of me I had to leave behind to survive.
She was fragile, always trying to be enough for someone who only loved the parts they could control. She smiled when she wanted to scream, stayed quiet when her heart was breaking, and kept giving until there was nothing left.

I buried her—not out of cruelty, but out of mercy.
Because if she stayed, I wouldn’t.

This song is the sound of that goodbye… and the slow, haunting process of finding the pieces worth keeping.

Inside the Girl I Buried

"Ghosts Inside of Me" picks up where "Inside the Girl I Buried" left off, diving deeper into the aftermath of a toxic, broken relationship. After burying the parts of herself that were damaged and hurt, the narrator now wrestles with the invisible scars—the ‘ghosts’ that linger inside, refusing to fade.

The song reveals the haunting memories and emotional shadows that continue to swirl within her mind, long after the person she loved has vanished without closure. It’s a raw exploration of isolation, regret, and the painful process of facing the internal battle with the trauma left behind.

While “Inside the Girl I Buried” exposed the chaos and breakdown behind closed doors, “Ghosts Inside of Me” reveals the quiet, relentless fight within—the struggle to find peace amid the swirling shadows of loss and emotional abandonment.

Ghosts Inside of Me

"Some truths are too heavy to keep hidden, yet too fragile to share… ‘Heart on My Sleeve’ is the moment I let it all out. It’s the aftermath of loving someone who brought both beauty and chaos into my life, leaving me exposed, raw, and unraveling. Every lyric is a fragment of that heartbreak, every note a reflection of the inner struggle to survive, heal, and reclaim my voice. This isn’t just a song—it’s the unveiling of vulnerability, the courage to feel fully, and the journey toward finding strength in honesty."

Heart on My Sleeve

A poetic snapshot of the quiet after goodbye: Still Standing captures a night when everything pauses – except the mind. The lyrics trace the emptiness left behind, not with drama but with still, sharp observations. Between power lines, cigarette smoke, and unspoken conversations with memory, this song becomes a quiet anthem of survival – when the sky holds steady, but the heart just might break.

Eine poetische Momentaufnahme in der Stille nach dem Abschied: Still Standing erzählt von einer Nacht, in der alles zu stehen scheint – außer den Gedanken. Die Zeilen fangen die Leere nach dem Verlust ein, ohne in Pathos zu verfallen. Stattdessen wirken sie wie leise Beobachtungen, klar und eindringlich. Zwischen Stromleitungen, Zigarettenrauch und stummen Dialogen mit der Erinnerung entsteht ein Song über das Weiteratmen, obwohl das Herz kurz davor ist, aufzugeben.

Still Standing

I sat on the hood of my car, two towns from home
Watching the power lines hum like they knew what was wrong
The night was too quiet, even the crickets held back
Like the world hit pause
But my mind ran fast

I lit up a smoke I don’t usually touch
Felt the wind say nothing, and that was too much
Your name didn’t echo, but it weighed in the air
Like it never left
Like you were still there

No thunder
No warning
No sharp goodbye
Just the quiet that replaced your light
The sky won’t fall
But my heart just might

You said some things don’t break, they just bend out of shape
But even steel has a limit before it escapes
I replay our last words like a scratched vinyl line
Looking for new meaning
Where there’s only time

No thunder
No warning
No sharp goodbye
Just the hum of what we couldn’t fight
The sky won’t fall
But my heart just might

Some nights I think you were right to leave
Some nights I talk to the space you breathed
The bed is warm but never kind
And you still sleep inside my mind

Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh
The sky won’t fall
No No No - I don‘t think so...
But my heart just might


Still Standing

Verhext erzählt die zarte Geschichte davon, wie man die Aufmerksamkeit eines geliebten Menschen an eine neue, unwiderstehliche Kraft verliert. Es zeichnet das Bild einer Liebe, die leise entgleitet – jeder Blick, jeder Herzschlag, jedes Schweigen verrät: Jemand anderes hat ihn verzaubert. Mit filmischer Tiefe und zerbrechlicher Intensität fängt der Song dieses bittersüße Gefühl ein, wenn der Mensch, den man liebt, immer weiter in eine andere Welt abdriftet – und man selbst zwischen Herzschmerz und der stillen Hoffnung zurückbleibt, doch noch gesehen zu werden.

Verhext is a tender story of losing someone’s attention to a new, irresistible force. It paints the picture of a love that slowly slips away, where every look, every heartbeat, and even the smallest silence reveals the truth: someone else has cast a spell. With cinematic depth and a fragile intensity, it captures the bittersweet feeling of watching the person you love drift further into another world, while you’re left caught between heartbreak and the quiet hope of still being seen.

Verhext

Du redest von ihr
Als wär sie ein Planet
Seit sie da ist
Bist du woanders
Weit weit weg

Dein Kaffee wird kalt
Während du dein Display scannst
Bist leise geworden
Wenn‘s um uns geht
Du hörst nicht mehr zu

Sie hat dich verhext, eindeutig
Du träumst mit offenen Augen
Bist wie hypnotisiert
Hab‘s kapiert
Starrst nur noch dein Handy an
Dein Puls verrät dich, Mann
Jedes Mal
Sie lebt in deinen Gedanken
Will nicht mit dir zanken
Ich will nur noch weg

Dein Blick ist weich
Dein Herz auf Wanderschaft
Du sagst, da ist nichts
Und strahlst dabei
Sprichst in Rätseln

Bist wach
Aber nicht bei Sinnen
Ich bin noch hier
Aber du längst nicht mehr

Dein Schatten tanzt nicht mehr mit meinem

Sie hat dich verhext, eindeutig
Du träumst mit offenen Augen
Bist wie hypnotisiert
Ich hab’s kapiert
Starrst nur noch dein Handy an
Dein Puls verrät dich, Mann
Jedes Mal
Sie lebt in deinen Gedanken
Ich will nicht mit dir zanken
Will nur noch weg

Sie hat dich verhext, eindeutig
Bist wie hypnotisiert
Dein Puls verrät dich
Jedes Mal

Will nur noch weg
Einfach weg

Dein Blick klebt an der Decke...

I never meant to write an album.
I meant to survive.

“The Songs I Never Said” is a collection of everything I kept buried—truths I swallowed, pain I made quiet, love I gave too freely, and the things I should’ve screamed but didn’t. Every track is a piece of the aftermath: the ghosts, the damage, the healing.

These aren’t just songs. They’re confessions.
They’re the words I wrote when no one was listening,
and the feelings I couldn’t say out loud until now.

If you’ve ever loved the wrong person too hard, lost yourself trying to be enough, or sat in the dark wondering what the hell just happened—this is for you.
Because sometimes, silence is just the start of the story.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
