🔻 Lyrics

[Intro]
"Retracing anger, waking to pain,Secrets unearthed now branded by shame."

[Verse 1]"Words like poison, truths you deny,In your hollow stare—something dark inside."

[Pre-Chorus]"What was so flawed in me,So hard for you to see?Now nothing's left but pieces—Fragments of who I used to be."

[Chorus]"Buried in your fiction, lost inside your lines,Chasing empty veins, drowning in your eyes.Bound by your infusion, I fell beneath your skin—Now I see the bruises; this is where it ends."

[Verse 2]"Silent phone hides vibrations inside;Convinced me I was blind—but I've seen through your lies.Just a stage you built where you'd pretend—Never meant to stay; you planned the end."

[Bridge 1]"Transparent as glass—your depth was a lie;A dream of substance that never survived.Betrayal defined you—cold and unkind;A twisted reflection of what’s left behind."

[Verse 3]"Surface soul with nothing below;A shallow mind spinning endless shows.Tangled in deceit, drowning in despair—Respect abandoned; history stripped bare."

[Bridge 2]"Mastermind illusions blurred every line;Rehearsed fake tears each scripted time.Trapped beneath your shiny facade—Now revealed as broken and flawed.Illusions fade; your colors bleed—I'm left holding truths I didn't need."

[Outro]"I tried to reason through your twisted view—But I'm done hiding from what you do.This moment etched clearly with no rewind;Exposed is the truth you've left behind."

🔻 Personal Reflection"Shallow Man" is a song born from personal disillusionment. It’s about realizing that some people wear masks so well, you don’t see what’s underneath until it’s too late. I poured my frustration, confusion, and eventual clarity into these lyrics—trying to capture the moment of revelation when you finally understand that you were chasing an illusion. It’s about letting go of the need for closure from someone incapable of honesty and finding strength in that acceptance.

🔻 Song Insight

"Forever Fall" by 4Me2BeFree is a haunting acoustic-alt ballad trapped between dream and memory, reaching for a self just out of reach. Told through raw vocals and evocative imagery, the track explores the surreal terrain of inner searching—where time loops, identity blurs, and the weight of emotional residue lingers like mist. This isn’t a nightmare—it’s a dream searching for meaning, a desperate attempt to reconnect with a piece of the soul long forgotten: the inner child.

With stripped-back guitars and cinematic builds, "Forever Fall" pulls listeners into a suspended moment between letting go and holding on. Every line unravels a story of emotional claustrophobia—trapped not by fear, but by a version of reality too fogged to navigate. It’s a soundtrack for those who’ve felt the ache of isolation even within their own mind.

🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]Binding darkness, sleep takes holdLike river flow—it’s you taking meI have nowhere I can go

[Verse 2]Looping into night, under slumberDarkness breeds—Take me to your crownI can’t be found

[Bridge]Waking from shafts of light igniteStriking shadows explode brightAn abstract creation of a tattered brain

[Verse 3]Try to explain, can’t let goSomething inside keeping me tameIn pain I can’t sustain—It’s a fraction of time

[Chorus]Focus my mind, lock soul in placeI can see—have to let goHeavy eyes fall like bombsFlashes of image now goneIn darkness you hideDeep on the other side

[Verse 4]I walk for years dreamingStuck in reality I can’t fearBashing walls—let the heavens fallWake me from my forever fallThis place of nothingnessA steel trap I possess

[Bridge]I rip at my chestPull for my last breathPurging all I had left

[Outro]Pitch black—nothingA silent dead seaAn eruption of sightForced out with mightShafts of light burning the skyWhere I was to go

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song is a mirror. One I didn’t expect to hold so long.

"Forever Fall" came from a place I didn’t fully understand until I heard it back. I thought I was writing about nightmares—about being chased or paralyzed in sleep—but the truth is... this was a dream. A long one. A fogged-in, looping space where I was endlessly searching for someone I’d lost: myself.

Or more specifically, the version of me that never got to heal.

That kid who still waited somewhere behind all the trauma, the masks, the coping. That’s who this track is reaching for. And the field in the fog? That’s not fear—that’s hope breaking through, even if it never fully lands. I wrote this while feeling disconnected, stuck between clarity and collapse. But singing it felt like pulling the thread back to something real.

There’s a kind of surrender in this song, but also resilience. You might hear both. Or neither. That’s what I love about it.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

For 4Me2BeFree, music is more than melody—it’s emotional truth in cinematic form. Every track aims to capture the quiet chaos we live through and rarely speak out loud. "Forever Fall" continues that mission: fusing poetic vulnerability with haunting soundscapes. It belongs to a larger vision—one where pain isn’t hidden but transformed into something powerful, something that breathes.

This isn’t just a song—it’s a feeling you didn’t know you remembered.

Forever Fall

"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.
