Maleena Cassius - Trauma Wink Lyrics:

(Chorus)
So lonely I may just give up 
My hope is radiated razor dust
Romance shatters due to my dark trauma and lust
Stop invading my dreams, Mom you’re serpentine to me
May you and I never make up
(Maybe I'll never wake up?)

(Verse 1)
Mother is my opposition so I keep my spider eyes shut
Melony stalks me in my sleep
In waking life our relationship is cut
I regret sharing your hyena blood
You say you want to repair
Honestly I’m too paranoid and scared
Beneath my pillow I keep finding your curly hairs
Your power is wicked, the dream world is your lair
No matter the distance you astral project here
The presence of your coyote shade amps my fear
Lucid dream escapes are morphed into ghastly terrors
The gifts you send, I always burn them

(Verse 2)
I know your raven watches my home
Your secret words are turning me to stone
The polar chill has infested my bones
I can’t bear the weight of anything
Mom I feel so fucking alone
Whatever you whispered to dad turned him into a drone
Now both of you are unknowns
Amir is the only one I trust
I fear I’ll die when brother is gone
Not a soul believes the things you’ve done
Is this my life?
You blessed me with a cursed one
I cry at night and owls gift me their songs

(Chorus)
So lonely I may just give up 
My hope is radiated razor dust
Romance shatters due to my dark trauma and lust
Stop invading my dreams, Mom you’re serpentine to me
May you and I never make up
(Maybe I'll never wake up?)

Trauma Wink (Terrorful Version)

"Andai Ku Ulang Lagi" by Vina Sun

[Verse 1]
Aku sibuk mengejar mimpi
Kupikir itu buatmu bahagia
Tapi aku lupa belajar
Mengucap sayang dengan kata

Mama, maaf aku tak di sana
Saat kau butuh aku dekat
Kini yang tersisa hanya hampa
Dan penyesalan tak pernah reda

[Pre-Chorus]
Kau memanggil namaku, tapi aku terus pergi
Kupikir waktu masih panjang, ternyata habis dalam sunyi

[Chorus]
Andai bisa kuulang lagi
Kan ku peluk erat dirimu
Bukan harta yang kau tunggu
Hanya kasih sayang dariku
Rinduku yang dalam
Seperti hukuman untukku

[Verse 2]
Kucari dirimu di setiap ruang
Tapi takkan pernah bisa berjumpa
Maafkan aku yang tak sempat ada

[Chorus / Outro]
Andai bisa kuulang lagi
Kan ku peluk erat dirimu
Bukan harta yang kau tunggu
Hanya kasih sayang dariku
Kerinduanku padamu
Seperti hukuman dari Tuhan untukku

Dengan vokal soprano yang melambung di atas piano lembut dan string, memadukan pop modern dengan kedalaman emosional. Jika kamu pernah merasakan sakit kata-kata yang tak terucap, lagu ini untukmu. 💔🙏

Sebuah balada pop Indonesia yang menyentuh hati, didedikasikan untuk setiap anak yang mengejar mimpi terlalu jauh, lupa pada satu orang yang paling membutuhkannya—Mama. Lagu ini mencurahkan penyesalan mentah, kerinduan tak berujung, dan kesadaran menyakitkan bahwa waktu tak menunggu siapa pun. Terinspirasi dari refleksi pribadi tentang keluarga, cinta, dan apa yang benar-benar penting, ini adalah pengingat yang membuat air mata mengalir untuk mengucap "Aku cinta kamu" selagi masih bisa.


If you've ever felt that ache of unspoken words, this one's for you. 💔🙏

A heartfelt Indonesian pop ballad dedicated to every child who's chased dreams too far, forgetting the one person who needed them most—Mama. This song pours out raw regret, endless longing, and the painful realization that time waits for no one. Inspired by personal reflections on family, love, and what truly matters, it's a tear-jerking reminder to say "I love you" while you still can.


Andai Ku Ulang Lagi  (If only I could turn back time)  by Vina Sun

Devon Debonair - To Mom, on Wings Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Mom, this one is for you
You and Dad did your best to give me a life serene
Your courage shielded me from twisted things
Few know that monsters lurk in the breeze
I know the lore, my bow Hōdai is deadly and she has wings
For you I’ll battle and your praises I’ll sing
(Your praises I’ll sing)
(Your praises I’ll sing)

(Verse 1)
I love you mom,
I swear to protect you from night fiends
My hunter antics have brought our family enough trouble and unease
When I face demonic beings you cheer for me
We warded your home from spirits and all manor of things
Mom, you’re my light and keep me sweet
You nurture and motivate me
You kept dad’s secret, and hid from me all supernatural things
You’re supportive of my relationships with monster queens
Monster Hunters watched over me until my teens
Now I have taken the mantle
Mom your boy is a hero 
I’ll save the innocent and above all protect you

(Chorus)
Mom, this one is for you
You and Dad did your best to give me a life serene
Your courage shielded me from twisted things
Few know that monsters lurk in the breeze
I know the lore, my bow Hōdai is deadly and she has wings
For you I’ll battle and your praises I’ll sing
(Your praises I’ll sing)

(Verse 2)
When dad was killed by werewolves
You and I felt powerless and weak
From that night on I studied the lore
Dad’s journals and drawings lead me
I still remember our worst argument
You did everything to stop me leaving
Mom I had to go, I had the hunter need
The Hark brotherhood understood my pain
They equipped me with the tools and potions
I can wield any weapon to slay magical beasts
There are so many lives to save
And so many terrifying babes
Mom, dad lives on within me

(Chorus)
Few know that monsters lurk in the breeze
I know the lore, my bow Hōdai is deadly and she has wings
For you I’ll battle and your praises I’ll sing
(your praises I'll sing)
Few know that monsters lurk in the breeze
I know the lore, my bow Hōdai is deadly and she has wings
For you I’ll battle and your praises I’ll sing
(Your praises I’ll sing)

To Mom, on Wings

so i invented "Creative Math Core"
This song is written in multi-dimentianal math.
think the theory of relativity... but in music...
I used as many dimensions as i could in this song

LEMME KNOW WHATCHA'LL THINK!!!

I'm home!
And I made ya little somethin' somethin' I got finished at the store!
It's a record!
(Music swells louder here, starting in C major – upbeat holiday folk with a rock edge, sleigh bells, flutes, violins, and acoustic guitar.)

Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrs!
SO!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrrs!

Even though so the story goes, to a fable we all know
Born to a stable long ago, yea sure, sures!
Oddly somethin' happened in that stable
That made Miss Mary able to have a little one like yours!
This one's for the new baby on the way
In a one-horse open sleigh...
This one's our unborn child
To that little girl we know as...
"Ours"
(Triumphant music spike – swirl of joy and carol harmonies, building to full band energy.)

Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrs!
SO!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrrs!

So then why throw a pick at every hoe?!
When the garden soil was still fertilled
For we got a world to now unfurl
Beneath those stars we caroled
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Love is all we hold between our arms tonight
LOVE IS WHERE THE HEART IS
I love you, my love
Like the apple in my eye
Soooooo hold me tiiiiiight!!!!

Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrs!
SO!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrrs!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- Baby!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
I'mmm- Yourrrrs!
SO!
Have a Holly-Jolly Helluva Christmas
Ohhh- LORRRRD Baby!
Ohhh- My apple of my loving eye
My family?
I'mmm- Yourrrrrs!

Maleena Cassius - Raven Chatter Lyrics:

(Chorus)
My inner voice is Raven noise
An eternal demanding and humiliating voice
My dog’s ghost guards my bedside
In my dreams her barks are deafening roars
Your raven’s call makes me paranoid
(Raven, raven, raven noise)

(Verse 1)
Mom, why won’t you leave me alone?
I feel unnerved in your silent home
I’m a woman now and mostly stone
Your raven speaks to me in an awful tone
He mocks my speech and berates me
You send him to surveil above when I’m all alone
The world of sleep had been my escape
Now you invade and turn what’s neat to bone
Your raven stalks endlessly
I’m a lonely lizard unable to roam

(Chorus)
My inner voice is Raven noise
An eternal demanding and humiliating voice
My dog’s ghost guards my bedside
In my dreams her barks are deafening roars
Your raven’s call makes me paranoid
(Raven, raven, raven noise)

(Verse 2)
When you can’t reach me your Raven does
I’ve always known something was off about you
Always felt the pressure and horror
Raven energy flattens my resolve
Venomous words have stunted my mind
Raven feathers prick but I don’t scream
Am I too far gone?
Lucid dreaming had once set me free
Now another space for you to hoard
In the astral I run forever and never reach shore

(I feel you standing over me in my sleep)
(Something seems off about your face)

Raven Chatter
