[Verse 1]
Haven’t you seen them - walking through the void,
Eyes burned out, turned to remnants of days?
The streets are breathing sorrow and decay,
And yet you scroll, and look the other way.

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it life - I call it absence,
A thousand faces drowned in blind obedience.

[Chorus]
Haven’t you seen them - broken inside?
The empty mass with nowhere to hide.
You feed the dark, you call it peace,
But tell me - when did the feeling cease?

[Verse 2]
Haven’t you seen them - standing in the rain,
No pulse left, just echoes of pain?
They stare through air, they stare through walls,
And still you praise your empty calls.

[Bridge - Breakdown]
Haven’t you seen the light fade slow?
Haven’t you felt the undertow?
They’re slipping below, one by one -
And still you call it living, son.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Haven’t you seen them - eyes to the ground,
Souls erased without a sound?
Haven’t you heard the mourning hum -
The silence where we’ve all gone numb?
(Haven’t you seen them... seen them... seen them?)

Haven’t You Seen Them..?

TRACK 1 -  91 days ago, i could have ended it all

A tragic, deeply human reflection on the Mediterranean crossings. Heavy synth layers and choral undertones create a dense, emotional soundscape that mirrors the depth of despair beneath the surface. Both intimate and political, it gives voice to those who vanish at sea — a song of dignity, silence, and loss.

Lost in the water

The most depressing song you'll ever hear...made with Fruityloops.

Sample - Sleep White Winter - Her Love Remains
120 bpm

<S1



Shadows crawl
Devour the light
Hollow whispers
Endless night
Dreams are ash
Crumbled dust

[Prechorus]
The void calls
The void consumes
No escape
Only doom

[Chorus]
Raise the glass—The Dark Martinis
Drink despair
Drown in the black
Raise the glass—The Dark Martinis
No way forward
No way back

[Verse 2]
Broken mirrors
Fractured minds
Bleeding hours
No rewind
Faith is gone
Left to rot

[Prechorus]
The walls scream
The echoes fade
Hope dies slow
In the shade

[Chorus]
Raise the glass—The Dark Martinis
Drink despair
Drown in the black
Raise the glass—The Dark Martinis
No way forward
No way back

Shadows Crawl

Verse]
Faith got drunk and stumbled away
Hope lit a match in the pouring rain
Love played a game it couldn’t sustain

[Chorus]
Unanswered prayers
Whispered to the air
Promises broke
Nobody cared
Dreams left hanging
Stripped down bare

[Verse 2]
Despair showed up in a stolen coat
Unbelief wrote lies on a crumpled note
Hate kissed me hard
Left me a scar to tote

[Prechorus]
The bottle laughs
The clock just stares
The night won’t listen
The dark don’t care

[Chorus]
Unanswered prayers
Whispered to the air
Promises broke
Nobody cared
Dreams left hanging
Stripped down bare

[Bridge]
Smoke curls up like a crooked spine
The past keeps asking for borrowed time
I chase the moon but it won’t align

Unanswered Prayers

DESPAIRBRINGER

Storm

If you hear the word "love" but cannot do anything with it because you could never really experience it, then love seems to be made for everyone else but not for yourself. This song is about exactly this.

By Yourself

hmmmmm

Brother!
Stay with me!
Bang!

Five of us walking, rifles at low,
scanning windows, keeping it slow.
Sweat in my eyes, radio clicks,
boots in rhythm, standard shit.
Sand in my teeth, sun on blast,
pulling security, first light passed.

Heard the whistle too late to dive,
heat on my neck, felt the sky collide.
One flash, one scream, boots off the ground,
then nothing but dust and that fucking sound.

The bombs, they tore the ground, bang bang.
His blood ran warm while I just knelt and prayed.
I called his name, but no sound came,
just ringing ears and the heat and blame.
His voice still haunts me from the sand.
Bang bang, I should’ve died that day.

Blast from the left, dropped to a knee,
dust went white, couldn’t fucking see.
Called out names, four checked in.
He didn’t speak, just silence and wind.
Found him sprawled, gear all torn,
blood on my hands, name on his tag.

The bombs, they tore the ground, bang bang.
His blood ran warm while I just knelt and prayed.
I called his name, but no sound came,
just ringing ears and the heat and blame.
His voice still haunts me from the sand.
Bang bang, I should’ve died that day.

Called it in, nine line tight.
Voice on the net said, “Bird’s in flight.”
Packed his chest, kept pressure down,
whispered to him, “You’re not going now.”
His breath caught once, eyes went blank,
I begged again, but he already sank.

He just got married, showed me the ring,
said he named her after hope, said she saved him.
I should’ve stood where he went down.
Now he’s a photo on a wall, and I’m still breathing.
His boots came home in a box, not worn,
and I salute a flag, but I hate the why.

The bombs, they tore the ground, bang bang.
His blood ran warm while I just knelt and prayed.
I called his name, but no sound came,
just ringing ears and the heat and blame.
His voice still haunts me from the sand.
Bang bang, I live the life he gave.
I live the life he gave me.

We got his tags and boots, brought ’em home,
planted a tree where he used to roam.
No words left, just roots and sky,
and me still asking, why not I.

(It ain’t enough, it never will be.)

Bang Bang

A warped sound of guitar with a best bit repeated for you! I'm putting it here more for safety reasons...but you can listen to it.

bestg-phone-megamix

A chill ballad about looking back and realizing some things just don't change.

I can't save you

A track about the feeling that your partner is already in a new relationship, even though you are still together.

Biography:
I am an author, arranger, and bassist. Crafting my music within the confines of my home studio, I intertwine influences from diverse genres. Each of my albums embarks on a unique journey through different musical landscapes, narrating a distinctive tale:

    Swing, despite its title, resonates with Funky inspiration and delves into the construction of interpersonal relationships.
    Love comprises ballads and traverses the theme of love, exploring it through various nuances and perspectives.
    Deeptown is imbued with Pop-Rock essence, addressing the intricacies of the human psyche, particularly in urban contexts.
    RH^, with a more Indie approach, serves as a humble tribute to Peter Gabriel, embodying an intimate quest for hidden truths.

Social Media Links:
To delve into my musical endeavors, you can find me across all major platforms, including Spotify and on YouTube

I mostly write my lyrics myself, always completely randomly, and produce the songs with the help of AI. That's just because I can't really sing and AI is therefore a good tool for realizing ideas. Technology is not my intention, it's the music.

Besides, I don't do this for money or anything like that; it's purely a hobby. It's important to me that people listen to the songs honestly if they like them.

"Becoming Heroes," is the podcast for the Hero inside of you.  Every Hero needs a Guide to help them become the best version of themselves.  Our podcast brings you the best Guides and guidance in bite-sized chunks of awesomeness!

I love playing with words, finding new ways to put them together to express what I feel. I hope my poems encourage others to share their feelings openly and honestly. My aim is to paint pictures with words, making them sing in a way that touches everyone's heart and mind. Through my poetry, I want to create moments that everyone can see themselves in, exploring emotions and thoughts that connect us all.

I'm a Swedish artist and music maker who blends melancholic rock, indie, and blues into songs that move between raw honesty and cinematic emotion. 🇸🇪🎸 My music carries a sense of survival and reflection—stories told through soulful guitars, intimate vocals, and haunting atmospheres. Never chasing trends, I write from truth, letting every song shift naturally between light and darkness.
