Shadows And Light

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the silence, I feel your heartbeat
A rhythm that echoes, the pulse of our souls meet
Through the noise, I hear your whisper call
A siren's voice, that beckons me to fall

[Chorus]
Can you feel it too?
The connection that we hold true
In the darkness, we collide
Two hearts beating, side by side

[Verse 2]
Like a ghost, you haunt my every thought
A presence that lingers, long after we're caught
In the shadows, I see your eyes
A window to the soul, where our hearts realize

[Chorus]
Can you feel it too?
The connection that we hold true
In the darkness, we collide
Two hearts beating, side by side

[Bridge]
We're two lost souls, in a world untold
Finding our way, through the darkness we're told
But in each other's eyes, we see the light
A guiding star, that leads us through the night

[Chorus]
Can you feel it too?
The connection that we hold true
In the darkness, we collide
Two hearts beating, side by side

[Outro:]
In the silence, our hearts entwine
A bond that's strong, a love divine
Through the darkness, we'll find our way
Together, we'll face the dawn of day.

Can You Feel It Too

This song is a haunting and introspective ballad that delves into the themes of emotional numbness, pain, and despair. The lyrics convey a sense of being frozen in a state of sorrow, with a "cold soul" that's lost its warmth and vitality. 

Throughout the song, we grapple with the darkness within, struggling to find solace or refuge from the pain. The imagery is stark and evocative, with references to icy landscapes, shattered dreams, and endless wounds. 

The song's atmospheric and introspective soundscapes provide a fitting backdrop for the emotional intensity of the lyrics. The overall mood is one of melancholic contemplation, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the song's haunting beauty.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Ice in my veins shadows in my glare
Heart like a tundra frozen but aware
Mirror shows a ghost haunted by despair
Walking through the dark, I can't find a prayer 

[Chorus]
Cold soul no warmth inside
Through the silence we collide
Breathing frost where fire died
Cold soul we won't abide 

[Verse 2]
Whispers on the wind secrets in the rain
Memories in chains driving me insane
Eyes like hollow voids feeling only pain
Nightfall in my mind lost without refrain 

[Chorus]
Cold soul no warmth inside
Through the silence we collide
Breathing frost where fire died
Cold soul we won't abide 

[Verse 2]
Whispers on the wind secrets in the rain
Memories in chains driving me insane
Eyes like hollow voids feeling only pain
Nightfall in my mind lost without refrain 

[Chorus]
Cold soul no warmth inside
Through the silence we collide
Breathing frost where fire died
Cold soul we won't abide 

[Bridge]
Echoes call my name voices from the deep
Crimson tears I weep, in a sleepless sleep
Frozen in the time endless wounds that seep
Severed from the light, forever mine to keep 

[Verse 3]
Shattered dreams like glass cutting through the night
Lost my way too long, blinded by the fright
Lifeless in the glow, no solace in sight
Chasing shadows now fading from the light 

[Chorus]
Cold soul no warmth inside
Through the silence we collide
Breathing frost where fire died
Cold soul we won't abide 

[Outro]
In the darkness, I'll remain
A cold soul, forever in pain
The silence is my only friend
Where the shadows never end

Cold Soul

Strength doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it breathes.
This song is a tribute to the ones who move slowly, think deeply, and grow in silence.
“Find Your Rhythm” honors the rhythm of stillness, the power found in restraint, reflection, and patience.
For the late bloomers. The deep feelers. The quiet fighters.

Find Your Rhythm

Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.

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, for 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 with 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'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
