This track dives deep into the raw emotions of toxic love the kind of heartbreak that leaves scars but also teaches strength. With dark 808s, moody vibes, and brutally honest lyrics, it’s perfect for anyone who ever felt used, ghosted, or left behind. If you’ve ever wasted years on the wrong person and had to rise from the ashes, this one will hit home.


Waste My Time

This is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who walked away from a toxic partner. Be Someone Else’s Problem is dark, sarcastic, and freeing 
a message to the one who thought you’d always stay. 
Inspired by Hailey Kiyoko’s alt-pop energy, 
this song is for every soul who’s tired of being “the cure” for someone who never heals.

Light Me Up is raw alt-R&B built on a hypnotic acoustic guitar loop. The track drops you straight into the middle of being gaslit — diary-entry verses, chant-like hooks, and a petty-to-vulnerable arc that feels both intimate and explosive. It’s confessional, unpolished on purpose, and heavy with late-night energy. From the clipped sarcasm of “Immature? What I’m trippin’ for?” to the closing mantra of “Blocked, blocked, blocked,” this song is about reclaiming power when someone twists your truth.

Cheap Parade is a biting dark-pop / alt-trap breakup diss that tears apart toxic love and fake status. With heavy 808s, sarcastic punchlines, and a sharp flow, the track calls out a boy who chases clout and chaos instead of real love. The lyrics are raw, painful, and empowering  an anthem for anyone tired of clowns in paper crowns.

Mood: angry, sarcastic, ironic, but still catchy
For fans of: blackbear, G-Eazy, Chase Atlantic
Story: from heartbreak to empowerment → You lost me, but in the end, they’ll remember my name, not yours.

A brutal reckoning—“Stealing Time” exposes the truth behind the mask, refusing to mourn what was lost and demanding accountability.

Song Insight

Stealing Time is not a lament for what’s gone, but a razor-edged anthem for finally seeing someone as they are. There’s no sugarcoating, no nostalgia for a love destroyed by self-inflicted wounds. This song doesn’t plead for redemption—it lays it bare: if you’re ever going to be saved, you’ll have to save yourself, because I’m done carrying your damage. The rain and the rose on the casket aren’t mourning—they’re the final word, marking the end of illusions and the start of owning your own darkness.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drifting through your life
Trying to find a way to say goodbye
Grifter stealing time
I’m running through your lies

[Build]
The empty space between the lines
Falling to your knees, you cry

[Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Verse 2]
Every promise that you broke
Every secret left untold
All the pain behind your eyes
The hearts you tore
To the ones you used

[Build]
Broken souls haunt your scattered mind
Pieces taken I will never find

[Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Bridge]
Mirrors, silver-plated death
Moments I try but can’t forget
Shadows pulling at what’s owed
Memories drowned by the ones I loved

[Bridge 2]
Sorry for the stones you throw
No matter what, you stay below
Cracked reflections on the floor
Love doesn't live here anymore

[Final Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue
All the pain behind your eyes
The hearts you tore apart inside
All those moments, lost in time
Drift away, erased by a life

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Outro]
Every mistake you called mine
Feel your choices down my spine
Maybe this time you’ll live the life
Maybe it’s the lies that die
Free yourself in time

[Post-Outro]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

Personal Reflection

I wrote “Stealing Time” as the ten-year mark approached, but not to mourn what could have been. Eight years of marriage ended in chaos and destruction—choices, not fate. This isn’t about hoping for change or wishing things were different. It’s about drawing the line, calling out the darkness, and refusing to shoulder someone else’s demons. There’s pain, sure, but mostly clarity: your story is yours now, and I won’t let it shape me. I see the warning signs clearer than ever. You own your choices, not me.

4Me2BeFree

With “Stealing Time,” 4Me2BeFree channels real scars into cinematic storytelling—no filter, no pity, just raw truth and consequence. Every lyric, every visual, and every drop of rain on the casket is there to show that this isn’t a breakup song—it’s a declaration of freedom from someone else’s self-destruction. This is what 4Me2BeFree does: transforms lived experience into music that doesn’t flinch from the hard parts, making sure the story hits as hard as the truth.

Stealing Time

You only want me when you need something
When life gets hard, that’s when you come around
You only love me when it’s useful
When you need support, I’m the best that you have found
But I’m done being your maybe
The one you use when your world is crazy
You only want me when you need something
And I deserve so much fucking more

DONE BEING USED

All that time I wasted, wasted on you All those nights I waited, waited for you I gave you my best and you threw it away All that time I wasted I can't get back those days All that time I wasted, wasted God, I fucking wasted All that time on you

WASTED

I tried, I tried, I fucking tried Gave you every piece of me, sacrificed my life I tried, I tried, till there was nothing left inside And it still wasn't enough for you I tried, I tried, God damn I tried And maybe that's the problem, maybe I tried too hard I tried, I tried, and now I'm barely alive But at least I tried

I tried

Don't call, don't call my line no more Don't call, don't show up at my door Don't call, I'm done with what we had before Don't call, don't call, don't call

dont call my phone

This harrowing track describes the peak of emotional manipulation, known as gaslighting. Set to a frantic and distorted Dark Blues rhythm, the song captures the protagonist's descent into self-doubt as he is convinced that his own intuition and memories are wrong. The 'Symphony' is the cruel, chaotic music played by the manipulator, who uses tears and victimhood to mask her actions, driving the protagonist into a state of profound psychological confusion.

🎧 Bartosz | The Recalibration Architect
Hello there! I create Cinematic Alternative music.

My sound is a constant motion across genres—from the heavy sub-bass of Dark Electro-Blues and the ambient space of Post-Rock, to the vibrant rhythm of Afro-Dance Pop.

The Mission: Every style serves a single, focused purpose: Mental Recalibration.

My work is rooted in deep psychology, exploring attachment patterns, healing trauma, and the journey from chaos to clarity. Each track is a deliberate protocol or map designed to guide the listener through a specific phase of this profound transformation.

💖 KEEP THE MUSIC GOING!
This music is a mission. The creation of these diverse soundscapes (albums like DATA SOUL and the Recalibration Protocol series) requires specialized equipment, cinematic mixing, and high-quality mastering across multiple stylistic boundaries.

Your direct support is essential for transforming these psychological concepts into fully realized audio experiences. Every donation, no matter how small, helps cover the critical costs of production.

Thank you for being a crucial part of my musical journey!

"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.
