Lyrics:

Legends Don't Define Us
Yo, don't you get caught in the mirror's haze,
Living up to legends, lost in a daze.
Your image on the pedestal, shining so bright,
But flicker and fade if you don’t hold it tight.
They’ll build you up just to tear you down,
Box you in a crown while you wear the frown.
Inspire, don’t just command the scene,
Flexibility’s the key, you know what I mean?
See the expectations, they shape your eyes,
Authoring reality, weaving the lies.
But trust, the truth is fickle, shifting like sand,
Heroes rise and fall, don’t get trapped in the brand.

Hook:
Don't believe the legend, it’s just a guise,
Own your power, see through their eyes.
You’re more than the story, you’re more than the tale,
Ride the waves of change, let resolute prevail.
Rap your mantra, override the noise,
Let ‘em plot and scheme, you’re the one who enjoys.
Direct the vision, don’t impose your rules,
Transform the narrative, break free from their tools.
You gain the grounds when you shift the game,
A puppeteer of dreams, igniting the flame.
Expectations fluctuate, true, they do,
But a soul that’s firm can bend but won’t break through.
Find the pulse, keep it steady, don’t get too tight,
Emotion’s the compass that guides you right.
Move with the rhythm of the world’s embrace,
If you lock yourself down, you’ll lose your grace.

Hook:
Don’t believe the legend, it’s just a guise,
Own your power, see through their eyes.
You’re more than the story, you’re more than the tale,
Ride the waves of change, let resolute prevail.
So look to yourself, that’s where you hold it,
A tool for the dream, don’t let it control it.
Become the architect of visions pristine,
And rise with the power of a life unseen.

Original idea for this song:
Don't believe your own legend. Don't become a hostage to your own image. Let others believe. You must know that it is a tool, not nature. And then you gain power not only over people's actions, but also over their imagination. And this is the most stable form of domination, when you do not command, but inspire, do not impose, but direct. 
And if you own expectations, you become the author of their reality. However, reality is fickle. Expectations fluctuate, and the one who seems like a hero today may be rejected tomorrow. Therefore, in order to survive, you must be able to change more than once, not according to mood, but systematically, flexibly, internally.

Album combines the philosophy of Nicola Machiavelli with modern musical genres, creating a unique sound and visual representation of ideas.
The album of 28 songs combines deep philosophy and modern musical elements, turning into a unique art project.

The laconic and capacious title reflects the main theme of the album - manipulation of power, hidden motives and political games inspired by the ideas of Nicola Machiavelli. The name "TRUTH Co. Ltd." emphasizes the duality of truth and its dependence on the context, enhancing the atmosphere of intrigue and mystery, emphasizes the symbolism and corporate metaphor of control over the truth and perception of reality.

The album covers a wide range of topics related to political struggle, such as justice, vanity, power, disguise of true intentions, flexibility of behavior, laws and orders of society, survival strategies, the desire to become a symbolic leader, changes in public consciousness, forces of nature (wind, waves), mass consciousness and the opposition of the individual to the collective. All these aspects are reflected in this album, making it multifaceted and deep.

Power Play. TRUTH Co. Ltd

Waves of Change

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Yo, no one fears the good, they laugh in your face,
They crave the strength, respect in a power race,
Heard they’re lookin’ for a hero in a world gone cold,
But it’s the wolves in sheep’s clothes that always take hold.
Flexibility my morality, that’s how I play,
Hidin’ my claws ‘til the moment's ripe to slay.
You want a leader, call me shepherd in disguise,
While chaos reigns, I’m the calm beneath the sighs.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Verse 2:
Flip the script, let them paint me however they want,
A calm façade while my inner fire’s daunt,
They need a savior, but we’re playin’ a game,
In a world so blind, I ain’t lookin' for fame.
Tomorrow’s a riot but they chase my shadow,
Don’t need no cape, I’m the one who’ll follow.
I’m movin’ through the chaos, a whisper in the night,
With my ethics as my weapon, it’s my mind that fights.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Bridge:
Don't look for comfort, the hero's a guise,
While they cling to their dreams, open your eyes.
In a world where the good gets lost in the dust,
It’s the shadow that’s risen, you better adjust.
I’m the pulse in the chaos, the beat in their fear,
Show them a savior, as the path gets clear.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Original idea for this song:
No one fears the good, but everyone respects the strong, if he knows how to hide his claws until the right moment. Justice as a concept is devalued, but the fair image still sells. People continue to look for a hero, a shepherd, a leader, just so as not to be left face to face with chaos. Become this image. Don't believe in him. Use it. Your morality is your flexibility. Your ethics are your influence. Let them see you as a symbol of light, while you move in the shadows, twisting the moves as the situation requires.

Shadow Shepherd

Lyrics:
In an unjust,
World so tough,
Kindness breaks,
It's not enough.  

Fox in lamb's,
Clothing sly,
Calculate moves,
Watch the sky.  

Be skillful,
Know your way,
Mercy when,
They betray.  

Cruel when,
It brings gain,
Virtue shines,
Hide the pain.  

Recognize traps,
With keen eyes,
Scare the wolves,
Wear your disguise.  

I never advised,
Being a beast,
But a wise fox,
To say the least.  

In an unjust,
World so tough,
Kindness breaks,
It's not enough.  

Fox in lamb's,
Clothing sly,
Calculate moves,
Watch the sky.

Original idea for this song:
In an unjust world, you cannot afford to be truly kind in the sense of naive selflessness. It will lead to your destruction, but you must not become an obvious predator. I never advised being a beast. I advised being a fox in lamb's clothing. Be skillful, be calculating, be merciful when necessary, be cruel when it is advantageous, but always appear virtuous. One must be a fox to recognize the traps, and a lion to scare away the wolves," I wrote earlier. And that is the whole strategy.

Fox in lambs clothing

Lyrics:
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Will you climb the wall?
Or will you just fall?
Stand up, heed the call,
Injustice is a game,
Don’t let it bring shame,
Fuel your inner flame,
The world won't change,
It stays the same,
But you can reclaim,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Opportunities are lost,
You count the cost,
But never exhaust,
Look up, stand tall,
It’s not your downfall,
Time to break the wall,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Climb it like a ladder,
Let nothing else matter,
You’ll rise up, not shatter,
Injustice is the test,
You’ll find your best,
Turn pain to rest,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain.

Original idea for this song:
Make injustice your incentive to power, not your cause of suffering. For at the very heart of this whole philosophy lies one simple but stark choice. What will you do with the injustice you encounter? Will you turn it into your drama or your engine? Will you suffer from it or will you climb it like a ladder? This is not a choice of feelings. It is a choice of will. The world will not change. It will not become honest because of your pain. It will not apologize to you. It will not return your stolen opportunities, it will not compensate for betrayal, it will not stitch up the wounds inflicted by someone else's selfishness, indifference, greed. The injustice will not go away, but you can look up and see that it was not a punishment. It was a challenge.

Injustice is a Game

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Raise your head, look at the chaos and don't look away. 
Where others scream about injustice, build a system. 
Where others break, stand. 
Where others wait for rules, start writing your own. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 2:
Be the one who is not broken by disorder, but who knows how to build a fortress on it. 
Be the one who does not need justice, because you have become stronger than it. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 3:
And remember, you do not have to be kind. You have to be strong. 
You do not have to be loved. 
You have to be necessary. 
You do not have to be right. 
You have to be a survivor. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 4:
Act without illusions, without pity, without fear. Because the world is not a moral stage. 
The world is a battlefield of interests. And now you know how to play in it. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Bridge:
Remember, you’re a titan in the storm,
With every scar earned, your true self is born.
No rules, just power, no pity, just grind,
In a world of interests, keep your goals aligned.

Bye!

Last Fortress

You’re there, frozen
And the morning bends over you
I count my thoughts
Balanced on your breath

… Because this silence
I’ve never known it anywhere else
It still has a chance

It’s not me who chooses, no, it never was
It’s not me who chooses, even when I try
It’s not me who chooses, it slips through my hands
It’s not me, no

How can you hold
What you can’t touch?
Six seconds standing still
Seven wishes colliding

… If I don’t wake you up
Maybe you’ll stay
Just enough

It’s not me who chooses, no, it never was
It’s not me who chooses, even when I watch you
It’s not me who chooses, I only wait
It’s not me… I don’t move

If you open your eyes
And don’t feel like talking
Lay them back on me (lay them back on me)
And the day will be softer

Look at you
You’re even more true like this

It’s not me who chooses, no, not even now
It’s not me who chooses, I never really could
It’s not me who chooses, no, not even now
It’s not me, not me, not me…

We always want
To appear in someone else’s dream
But sometimes, we just
Have to watch them sleep

It’s not me (Alternative Rock reload)

What happens when people hide behind makeup for so long, they don't remember who they are? Pretty on the outside but empty inside.

🎸 "WALLPAPER" - 25 Years in the Making 🎸

This song began its life in 1999 in Salvador, Brazil, when I was 
searching for direction, playing in musical groups, carrying the 
restless spirit of youth and hope for better days.

The melody slept for decades, holding a violin solo that would 
come alive years later in Retirolândia, during afternoon sessions 
with my friend Daniel - conversations flowing between music, work, 
futures, and loves.

25 years later, the words found their time. What was searching 
became discovery. What was loneliness became strength. The old 
distractions now have names: filters, stories, life's backup 
that keeps loading.

"Turn this story into wallpaper" - a metaphor for our digital age, 
where memories become art, pain becomes growth, and we learn that 
we don't need someone else to love - we just need to love.

For everyone carrying unfinished songs in their hearts: 
sometimes they're just waiting for the right moment. 🖤

🎸 Style: Alter Bridge meets Brazilian soul
📍 Salvador → Retirolândia → Feira de Santana → The World
⏰ 1999-2024: One song, one lifetime

Story Into Wallpaper (Old Chorus)

Summer

Rafael Maurell Summer

Born out of the ashes of Seattle’s sound, Not Dead Yet is carrying the torch of grunge into a new era. Their music blends raw emotion, survivalist grit, and the nostalgic edge of the 90s scene. Not Dead Yet is the debut release from Atlanta Alt Rockers Not Dead Yet the Band!

Not Dead

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track — only in Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

Making music isn't about success outside...its about letting the inside out. Just a girl trying to express herself and seeing what pops loose. Thanks for your support my peepys
