"Monster" is a haunting, introspective rock song that delves into the complex dynamics of blame, projection, and self-discovery in relationships. With its raw, emotive vocals, intense guitar riffs, and powerful lyrics, the song explores the experience of being cast as the villain in someone else's story, and the journey to break free from that imposed narrative.
The song's protagonist finds themselves labeled as a "monster" by someone who is grappling with their own inner demons and unresolved pain. The accuser projects their own faults and fears onto the protagonist, using them as a scapegoat to avoid facing their own issues.
Through vivid, poetic language, the song captures the psychological toll of this projection, the erosion of one's sense of self under the weight of another's blame. Lines like "Your words are like poison, seeping through my veins" and "I'm the monster you need me to be, to validate your misery" paint a stark picture of the emotional manipulation at play.
But as the song progresses, it becomes a powerful declaration of self-reclamation and boundary-setting. The protagonist recognizes the distortions in the accuser's narrative and resolves to break free from the role of the "monster." The bridge and outro are a triumphant assertion of autonomy and self-definition, a refusal to be confined by another's shadows.
Musically, "Monster" is a tour de force of emotive rock. The haunting guitar riffs and intense instrumental sections mirror the psychological intensity of the lyrics, creating a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive. The vocal delivery is raw and authentic, conveying the depth of the protagonist's pain and the strength of their resolve.
Ultimately, "Monster" is a song about the power of self-knowledge and self-assertion in the face of psychological manipulation and projection. It's a call to look beyond the labels and narratives imposed on us by others, and to define ourselves on our own terms. With its unflinching honesty and emotional depth, it's a song that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to find their own voice and identity in the face of another's expectations or accusations.

"Vexed" is a raw, unapologetic trap anthem straight from the heart of QUAY? when he was at his most heated. This track is a reflection of pure, unfiltered emotion, packed with aggressive energy and a level of disrespect that only comes from being mad as hell. Hosted by the legendary DJ Infamous, the song captures the dark, intense side of being vexed, venting frustration and rage through hard-hitting beats and sharp, no-holds-barred bars. As with all of QUAY?'s music, it’s entertainment first, and to be understood psychologically—don’t take it too literally, just vibe with the mood. With "Vexed," the artist keeps it 100% real, expressing exactly how he was feeling at that time. And with "Bloody Merry Halloween 2" dropping tomorrow on his birthday, it's the perfect moment to show some love and blow this track up!

As one of the most haunting and cerebral tracks on the Regrets album, Mercy or Mercury examines the duality of power, control, and consequence. The song masterfully intertwines scientific precision with raw emotional depth, presenting mercy and mercury as two opposing yet eerily similar forces—one a choice, the other a chemical certainty.

Through sharp, calculated lyricism, the narrator dissects the nature of power and its effects on relationships, morality, and the self. The song doesn’t ask whether one should show mercy or unleash destruction—it states that both exist within the same entity, coexisting as two halves of a singular force.

From the opening lines, "Mercy and mercury—both are elements of destruction," the song establishes its eerie, analytical tone, blurring the line between science and emotion. Mercury is depicted as an unstoppable, toxic, yet adaptable force, while mercy is seen as a fleeting, fragile decision that holds immense weight. The narrator embodies both, presenting them not just as abstract ideas but as personal traits they wield with intention.

The verses mirror scientific observations, likening emotions to the behavior of mercury:

"Mercury—atomic number eighty, liquid at room temperature, unstable, shifting, impossible to hold."
"Mercy—unquantifiable, weightless yet heavy, a decision made in the quiet before the storm."
This duality extends into the choruses, where the narrator asks the listener whether they desire salvation or destruction—a question that grows increasingly urgent as the song progresses. The repeated phrasing, “Mmm… do you want mercy, or do you want fate?”, mimics a scientific hypothesis being tested, each repetition revealing new shades of meaning. The gradual intensification of vocal effects, stutters, and whispers symbolizes the narrator’s internal debate, culminating in a cold, unwavering resolution.

One of the song’s most chilling moments occurs in the breakdown, where the narrator delivers a final scientific comparison:

"Mercury—conducts electricity, fast and reactive, but mix it wrong, and it turns to poison."
"Mercy—conducts hope, fleeting and naïve, but give it too often, and it turns to regret."
This stark contrast reinforces the song’s ultimate message—kindness has its limits, and power, when wielded without caution, can be just as dangerous as poison. The idea that mercy, when misused, turns into regret is a running theme throughout the Regrets album, making this track a cornerstone of its overarching narrative.

By the final chorus and outro, the narrator makes their decision: this is not weakness—this is science. The cold detachment in the closing lines reflects the weight of experience, knowledge, and inevitable consequence. Love, hate, forgiveness, and fate are all governed by forces greater than emotion alone—some are deliberate, others are as unavoidable as chemistry.

Mercy or Mercury stands as one of the most introspective and unsettling pieces in the Regrets album, forcing listeners to question their own definitions of power, consequence, and emotional control. It’s both a study in contrast and a warning, delivered with eerie precision and haunting finality.

One of the most haunting and psychologically intense tracks on the Regrets album, Puppeteer is a chilling self-confrontation—a deep dive into control, self-sabotage, and the realization that we are often our own worst enemy. The song presents the narrator as both the puppet and the master, acknowledging the choices, pain, and patterns that have led to repeated heartbreak and betrayal.

The intro opens with a moment of self-doubt: "Where did I go wrong? Where did it start?" But before the blame can be placed elsewhere, the truth emerges—it was always them pulling the strings. From the first verse, the song shifts into a dark, almost menacing realization: "It’s me, bitch, who else would it be?" The narrator admits they are the architect of their own suffering, orchestrating their own downfall, allowing toxic people in, and ignoring every red flag.

The verses take on a cold, commanding tone, painting a picture of someone who both sets the stage for their own destruction and then plays the victim when it all collapses. The repeated imagery of knives, doors, walls, and strings creates a sense of fate being predetermined, as if every bad decision has already been scripted and rehearsed. "I tell you stop, you run full speed. I tell you ‘no,’ but you fucking bleed."—the narrator acknowledges their reckless tendencies, fully aware of the consequences but seemingly unable to stop themselves.

The choruses reinforce the song’s theme of control, with eerie, almost theatrical phrasing:
"The stage is set, the lights are low, guess who’s runnin’ the fuckin’ show?"
This line serves as both a confession and a warning—the narrator controls everything, yet they still feel trapped.

As the song progresses, frustration turns into cold, calculated resolution. The bridge is where the narrator makes their final decision:
"You begged for love, but love’s a lie, a pretty trick to waste your time."
This is a full rejection of hope, compassion, and trust. The realization hits that letting people in only leads to pain, so the narrator decides to pull the strings tighter, closing themselves off entirely.

By the final chorus, the song reaches its most haunting and hypnotic moment. The strings are pulled so tight that movement is no longer possible—the narrator has locked themselves into a fate of control, but at the cost of emotional freedom. The outro fades into whispered, mocking tones:
"Sweet dreams, puppet."
With that final line, the song leaves listeners in a chilling silence—who is truly in control? Is the narrator finally safe, or have they simply imprisoned themselves in their own protection?

Puppeteer is a dark, introspective track that tackles self-sabotage, emotional walls, and the illusion of control. It fits into the Regrets album as a moment of raw realization—the understanding that the pain isn’t just from the outside world, but also from within. It’s a song about coming to terms with the role we play in our own suffering, and the terrifying decision to either break free or tighten the strings.
