This song is a haunting and anthemic gothic-alternative-metal ballad that explores the intense emotions and vulnerability of taking a leap of faith, literally and metaphorically. With its soaring female vocals, reminiscent of Evanescence, and a sweeping soundscape that combines elements of hard rock, classical, and EDM, the song creates a sense of weightlessness and suspension, as if floating in mid-air. The lyrics touch on themes of fear, trust, and the preciousness of life, with the chorus's repeated refrain of "fall like an angel, fall like a stone" evoking a sense of surrender and liberation. The song's intense, driving rhythms and haunting melodies add to the overall sense of urgency and emotional release.



LYRICS: 

[Verse]
Do you see me
Believe me?
I want to know how it ends
Reflect your eyes in mine
Searching for a sign
I see your smile
Wait for me 

[Chorus]
Fall like an angel
Fall like a stone
Just let the air surround us
Time
Life is precious
Catch me in slow motion
So gentle and tenacious 

[Post-Chorus]
Weightless and suspended
Pairs as we descended
Red cheeks and crimson clouds
Pick up speed into the ground 

[Verse 2]
Fears keep us low
Tied underground
Trying to explain how I know
Voices above
Calling us back
But I no longer need to think 

[Chorus]
Fall like an angel
Fall like a stone
Just let the air surround us
Time
Life is precious
Catch me in slow motion
So gentle and tenacious 

[Post-Chorus]
Weightless and suspended
Pairs as we descended
Red cheeks and crimson clouds
Pick up speed into the ground

Fall Like An Angel

Immerse yourself in this haunting ballad about embracing the darkness and letting go. The lyrics weave a poignant tale of heartbreak, longing, and the allure of surrendering to the depths of despair.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Rock bottom always thought I’d drown
Could never climb back up anyhow
But now here you come
Resuscitate me
Pulled for so long with no gravity
I want your tides to bury me 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay (Here I’ll stay, here I’ll stay)
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak 

[Verse 2]
Well
Can you feel me struggling to breathe? (To breathe)
Help me feel something (Something) while pulling me under (pulling me Under)
And when my aching chest infects (Mm)
The water filling my lungs
I wonder (I wonder)
Would you like me better if I was there?
Hold me tight
I know I’ll die
But still I would care 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved (Being saved, being saved)
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay (Here I’ll stay) 
(Ooh) (Ooooh)
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak (Ooh)
I’d rather be down here
And I’m sorry you’re not near
I’d rather be down here
I’m sorry that we ended here
Sorry you’re not near
Sorry that we ended here 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak 

[Outro]
Sorry you’re not near
Sorry that we ended here


Drowning in the River

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.
