This indie pop song explores the disillusionment and heartbreak that can result from meeting one's celebrity idols or heroes in person, as reality often fails to live up to the idealized perception in one's mind.

We Are Poets

Jungle #5

“Shout Down the Clouds” is a ballad of quiet resistance—anti-anger, pro-reflection, soaked in wisdom. It’s not defeatist—it’s disillusioned with noise. You’ve written a folk song for the emotionally exhausted and the chronically online. It’s a lament for the lost art of listening, in the key of "we tried yelling, and it didn’t work."

【氷山キヨテル / Hiyama Kiyoteru】うみたがり - Umitagari【SynthV Cover】(+SVP)

Geh nicht so weit 
Warum läufst du mir davon?
 Ich dacht, das hier bleibt 
Hast mich doch grad erst gewonnen

Kenn das noch vom letzten Mal 
Kenn das alles und ich hab den Scheiß hier nicht verdient 
Weiß noch wie es damals war
 Hab’s nicht vergessen, auch wenn ich so tu, als wär’s mir nie passiert
War ich nur 'ne Phase, 
Wurd ich idealisiert?

 Fern von Realität 
Fern von dem was du wirklich liebst
Nie echt, war nur projiziert
Während ich hier Filme schieb

Kenn das noch vom letzten Mal 
Kenn das alles und ich hab den Scheiß hier nicht verdient 
Weiß noch wie es damals war
 Hab’s nicht vergessen, auch wenn ich so tu, als wär’s mir nie passiert
War ich nur 'ne Phase, 
Wurd ich idealisiert?

Auf nem Podest mit meiner Höhenangst 
Sahst mich in Farben, die ich niemals war
Für dich perfekt  doch innerlich längst krank
Ein schönes Bild, das kein ein echtes war

Podest

I count the cracks on my bedroom wall
Scrolling through a world that doesn’t care at all
Coffee’s cold, but the rent is high
Everyone’s depressed, but we laugh online

Is this living or just waiting?
Talk is cheap, but bills keep raising
Smile for photos, hide the mess
Nothing’s simple, nothing’s less

I wear the mask that the office loves
Nine to five, I’m a pair of gloves
Weekend hits and I fall apart
Dancing drunk with a broken heart

Is this living or just waiting?
Talk is cheap, but bills keep raising
Smile for photos, hide the mess
Nothing’s simple, nothing’s less

Stand in line, buy the dream
Everything’s not what it seems
Look inside, there’s no cure
Life’s a joke, but I’m not sure

Is this living or just waiting?
Talk is cheap, but bills keep raising
Smile for photos, hide the mess
Nothing’s simple, nothing’s less

I count the cracks on my bedroom wall
Scrolling through a world that doesn’t care at all

Nothing’s simple

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available — human or machine — as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

Phrases and Phases Publishing is a one-man label, archive, and reality-refraction field. Founded by J. Adam Walters - lawyer-turned lyricist, satirist, and architectural dropout from polite society - it's the home for songs that shouldn't exist, poems that go to far, and fictional universes with better paperwork than the Library of Congress. 

From folk elegies to parody rap to theocratic cartoon trauma epics, everything here is written by a human who uses AI as a collaborator and instrument rather than an outsourced brain, and finished only when it reaches a space where laughing hurts, or hurting laughs.

Vocal synth cover artist, will mainly be using Hiyama Kiyoteru.
