Isoscèles & Futuristic - Status Quo [prod. by Suuth]

Mister and Misses alone by the lake
Ones got a heart and the other one shakes
sunset upon them, a beautiful sight
who would have thought that the Misses could fight

Cunning and clever, one elegant bride
reaches her arms out time after time
bloated and wasted, the mister takes hold
of an olive branch to give to his misses, so bold

She used to call him soldier
now the leaves are left smoldered
they drop to the ground

A symbol of peaceful and harmonious life
breath by breath thinking, one of a kind
Mister grew sick of his sickness, he sighed
time to tell Misses, before she resides

Watching the water,the Misses seems lost
stuck in her head as she questions her thoughts
"what if I left him to follow my heart?
would my love lie bleeding or would it restart?"

She used to call him soldier
Now the leaves are left smoldered 
They fall to the ground
The critical timing
for a man to start trying
ticks off the clock

"Misses, I love you, I want you to know"
"Mister I'm sorry, you've not let me grow"
"Just take my branch in your delicate hands"
"There's nothing I'd want more, then to live my demands"

"Olive Branch" (#340, 200425)

Dirt so dry can’t feel my eyes
Sun as hot as a supermodel
Every part of this heavy heart
Dark brown like an empty bottle

Shattered that the shine we had
When everything was young
The magic dust is all but lost
Dissolved and come undone

Guess you crossed some kind of line seven years ago
Left it all behind you on the shoulder of the road
I was walkin’ west into the sunset when it hit me
Twenty miles outside Olive Branch Mississippi

All four wheels are spinnin’ still
Soul is outta’ gas
Filled her up like diesel but
Couldn’t make it last

Maybe they’s as many ways
To fall as there is footprints
Only got a single shot
For freedom and I took it

Guess you crossed some kind of line seven years ago
Left it all behind you on the shoulder of the road
I was walkin’ west into the sunset when it hit me
Twenty miles outside Olive Branch Mississippi

I’m reaching out my hand
Reaching it out to you
And I know it’s been years
What else can I do

I’m trying hard tonight
Promise I don’t wanna fight
How did two people who were once so close
Are now so distant, drifted apart

And I’m reaching out this olive branch
Help me to understand if
This is not what you wanted

Oh, I’m trying to reach out my hand
One last time to try to make it right

Over years we’ve tried to reconnect
One step at a time
But it seems it might be too late
So I’ll give it a go
One last beat

And I’m reaching out this olive branch
Help me to understand if
It’s not what you wanted

I’m trying to reach out my hand
One last time to make it right

I’m reaching out this olive branch
Help me to understand
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you wanted

Olive Branch

Olive Branch is an EDM collaboration with Completion Beats and Rini K. The song begins with a chill vibe that makes you feel like you are in the desert but then escalades into an emotional drop that will make you feel like you are driving a fast car through the city. The lyrics are about forgiving others and yourself for the hurt they've caused you and offering to move forward with them, provided they are willing to accept you as your true authentic self.

I have been playing other peoples songs for years. I am now trying to write a few of my own. This profile includes songs written between  2020 and the start of 2021

Whether you’re struggling with the growing pains of a not so teenage dream or someone who loves introspective songwriting, Rini K’s music takes you to a place of vulnerability and unapologetic honesty. The 17 year old singer songwriter credits her hometown Cary, North Carolina as the place that shaped who she is as a person and as an artist today. It is where she created her first album in her childhood home and also where her music taste developed. Rini’s primary influences are Taylor Swift, Halsey, Tate McRae and Conan Gray. At age 11, Rini learned to play the guitar and began writing songs. She later produced her debut album, 6n7 entirely on her own. After the release of 6n7 in 2020, she began to explore her sound more and developed a fan base across social media, primarily on TikTok where she currently has nearly 50k fans. Now working with producers who have worked with artists such as Melanie Martinez and Carly Rae Jepsen, Rini is meticulously crafting her sound every day. Most of her fans know her for her 2021 release "In My Head" which garnered the attention of both new fans as well as many industry professionals. Her new single "Let Me Go Numb"  comes out on February 3rd and is the first of the five song EP "Not So Teenage Dream".
