Dear God

This song is a powerful commentary on the state of our world today, painting a vivid picture of a society in chaos and disarray. It speaks to the struggles of a younger generation crying out in pain, lost and alone, with no guidance or support. The lyrics weave a narrative of desperation, where politicians' empty words fuel ongoing conflicts and senseless violence, leaving people searching for answers in the haze of chaos.

The song's themes revolve around feelings of sadness, anxiety, and defeat, with an underlying message urging listeners to reconsider their priorities and seek love and unity amidst the turmoil. It's a call to action, encouraging us to wake up, seek the light, and strive for a better tomorrow where love shines bright.

The song's message is both haunting and hopeful, inviting listeners to reflect on the world we live in and our place within it.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
In the city streets, a young soul's cryin'
Another victim of the system, dyin'
From the inside out, the pain's revealin'
A generation lost, with no one healin' 

[Chorus:]
These are the times, of confusion and strife
We're searching for answers, but losing our life
In the haze of chaos, we're chasing the high
But forgetting the love, that we left behind 

[Verse 2:]
Politicians speak, but their words are vain
We're still fighting wars, over petty gain
A brother kills a brother, a sister cries
And we wonder why, the world's gone blind 

[Chorus:]
These are the times, of confusion and strife
We're searching for answers, but losing our life
In the haze of chaos, we're chasing the high
But forgetting the love, that we left behind 

[Bridge:]
We're living in darkness, but we need the light
A love revolution, to guide us through the night
We need to wake up, before it's too late
And find our way, to a brand new state 

[Chorus:]
These are the times, of confusion and strife
We're searching for answers, but losing our life
In the haze of chaos, we're chasing the high
But forgetting the love, that we left behind 

[Outro:]
Lost in the haze, we're searching for the sign
Of a better tomorrow, where love will shine.

My name is Anthony Martin, I'm a singer/songwriter from The Medway Towns.

I write songs to help me process some of the traumatic events I've experienced in my life.

Music. Is. My. Medicine.

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.

The vibe is pop/rock along the lines of REM & Coldplay.

Acoustic influences include Turin Brakes & Grant Lee Buffalo with a desire to one day achieve just a taste of those delectable sonic flavours, whilst adding our own unique UDHQ ingredients to the mix. 

We hope you enjoy the UnderDogHQ project as it develops & matures...GF.
