When in the deepest moments of depression and anxiety, a shed of golden bright light, bringing me a feeling of hope and emotional security when I needed it the most. Pulling me away from the never-ending, infinite hole of self-doubt, continuous depression and anxiety. 

Wouldn't have believed that even the "easiest" daydream by the window would be such an untouchable dream at some point.

Embrace what you have now, and always believe in yourself, deeply and truly; Deny destiny, fight and become the hero of your dreams.. In your daydreams by the window...

Daydreams by the Window

Confusion explores the inner conflict of self-doubt and indecision, caught between external pressure and personal integrity. A reflective pop track about seeking clarity amidst life's grey areas.

Lyrics

Insecure, but pretending
That I’ve planned it out
Torn inside out
Wishing no one sees through my self-doubt

Wanna stay polite
I show a lovely smile
People feed me judgment
But it’s been a while

They demand commitment
Sorry I appear distant
They want me decide
Choice never feels like mine

Without judgement
It’s like throwing dice
But I neither make
Nor accept sacrifice

How can I proceed when nothing else feels right?
Caught in the middle of black and white
Hoping for once have a peace of mind
But clarity’s something I just can’t find

maybe

okay is not okay…

We all think of ways to get a bigger audience, but maybe the spotlight is not for everyone

Motivation

After a few awkward conversations, you realized you often misread people’s intentions. Sometimes, you felt unloved when that wasn’t true. This is to show how our insecurities can make us feel alone.

Lyrics

(verse)
Your smile seemed so warm yesterday
But today, you looked the other way
Now I'm replaying every line
Wondering if I crossed some hidden sign
(chorus)
I'm caught up in these mixed signals
Losing sight of what is real
I build my fears on misread gestures
And end up lonely, that's the deal
(verse)
A friend tried to help me see
That not everything's about me
But in my heart, I still believe
They just don't want my company
(chorus)
Stuck in all these mixed signals
Where doubt becomes my shield
I'm drowning in silent questions
Afraid of what they might reveal
(verse)
I'll rise above these mixed signals
And see people as they are
No longer chained by my own illusions
I'm learning not to fall apart
(outro)
No longer chained by my own illusions
I'm learning not to fall apart

Learning To Glow

Mixed Signals

By now, she’s realized life isn’t perfect, and sometimes you need a do-over. This track is about understanding that mistakes are lessons and that we’re allowed to start again.

Second Chances

This final song crowns the journey. She has grown into a mature woman, learning from her challenges and heartbreaks. It’s a celebration of personal strength and newfound self-love.

Stepping into My Own

BRAIN OF SAND

It's not about getting
A feather on my cap
With gusty, dusty winds
I have to rub my eyes

I’ve heard with blindness
Our heads can turn to sand
I won’t allow
This to happen, I won’t be
a brain of sand

Traffic’s too brisky now
To march on highways
I could become roadkill
I don’t mind

I can’t escape my fate
If I’m just being guided
For once I must stand up
Even when I’m wrong
If I’m wrong

I’d rather be a fool
Handing out flyers
If people throw them out
They'll feed the liars
	
I’m not riding a
Rocket to the sky
Just a ballon
With a safer place to land

My own ambition
Is having on my side
What science is calling
A healthy state of mind
And not a brain of sand

Traffic’s too brisky now
To march on highways
I could become roadkill
I don’t mind

I can’t escape my fate
If I’m just being guided
For once I must stand up
Even when I’m wrong
If I’m wrong

I’d rather be a fool
Handing out flyers
If people throw them out
They'll feed the liars

Brain of Sand

This song is a raw and intimate reflection of my own struggles with mental darkness. I've always found solace in music as a way to process my emotions and confront my inner demons. This song is a product of those late-night struggles, where the shadows on my wall seemed to grow longer and the silence was deafening. 

The lyrics are a glimpse into my own mind, where the lines between reality and nightmare are blurred. It's a place where fear, anxiety, and self-doubt reign, and where the darkness can feel overwhelming. 

But even in the midst of that darkness, there's a glimmer of hope. This song is my way of confronting those demons, of shining a light into the shadows, and of finding a way to heal and move forward. 

I hope that by sharing this song, I can connect with others who may be going through similar struggles. Know that you're not alone, and that there's always hope, even in the darkest of times.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark room silent dread
Shadowed corners creeping in my head
Blood red moons and nightmares in bed
Dancing with the demons we all dread 

[Verse 2]
Lost in the echoes power in my veins
Madness rising breaking all the chains
Crystal shatters memory remains
Screams from the abyss fill my brain 

[Chorus]
Goin ballistic tearing at the seams
Haunted visions plague my dreams
Fighting shadows nothing as it seems
Burning bridges ripping at the beams 

[Verse 3]
Masked figures circling my soul
Whispers louder howling in the cold
Risen spirits lose their control
Staring at the eyes a bottomless hole 

[Chorus]
Goin ballistic tearing at the seams
Haunted visions plague my dreams
Fighting shadows nothing as it seems
Burning bridges ripping at the beams 

[Bridge X2]
Clawing at the darkness finding light
Silent screams echoing through the night
Blackened wings take their flight
Endless void a daunting sight



Haunted Visions

TIME BOMB

Self-doubt doesn’t shout it whispers. It creeps in quietly when you're about to do something bold. In this heartfelt solo episode of Beyond the Known, host Jitesh Vaswani opens up about the inner critic we all carry and how we can learn to live with it, without letting it lead.

Whether it’s launching a podcast, taking an exam, or chasing a dream, self-doubt shows up. But so can stillness. Drawing from the teachings of Gurudev, his own breathwork journey, and a parable from the Buddha, Jitesh shares three grounded tools to move through doubt with clarity and courage.

This isn’t about eliminating fear. It’s about showing up gently, truthfully, anyway.

The Voice in Your Head Isn’t Always Right

This song is kind of about having two conflicting states of mind that are constantly fighting with one another, and maybe even causing each other.

On the one hand, it's about being an over-pleaser, and going flat out to try and satisfy and impress another person, but being resentful that they don't notice or appreciate your frantic efforts.

The other side of the song is that in doing this, you actually end up putting your own needs last and pretending that you want what they want.

The underlying question of the song is this: Do you attract people who are hard to please, because you yourself need to feel worthless?

Who knows.

Anyway, here are the lyrics. Go figure.

LYRICS
From far above the frozen sea
D’you think you’ll ever notice me?
As I give myself constantly

Kept overkeen, kept feverish
But keep devout, keep faith in this
Transfixed upon a deeper wish

..I wasn’t here
Wish I wasn’t here

No matter what I do
No matter how I try
Not brave enough
Or cool or tough
Not good enough, am I?

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Can’t give enough
To keep this love
Not good enough for you

Acceptance meant much more to me
Than fairness or stability
So now what’s left is killing me

Humiliation has its price
Intoxication has its vice
This situation, is it nice?

…is overrated
Nice is overrated

No matter what I do
No matter how I try
Not brave enough
Or cool or tough
Not good enough, am I?

I hide myself in shadows I find
I keep my own needs outta my mind
Completely always totally blind
To all the
Things that I need

No matter what I do
No matter how I try
Not brave enough
Or cool or tough
Not good enough, am I?

Good Enough - Piano Acoustic

Piano roots, church soul, Trance energy, Jazz groove. I fuse emotion + innovation for seekers of sound that moves, heals & uplifts. 🎹 Hit play & feel the difference.

--

I grew up behind a piano in a church band, where music wasn’t just played, it meant something. Today, I blend those roots with the pulse of Trance, atmospheric downtempo vibes, and sometimes with the smooth soul of Jazz. My music is a conversation: between classic and modern, faith and feeling, structure and freedom.

Every track I write aims to move more than just your body. It should stir something deeper. Whether you’re winding down, searching for peace, or just love rich harmonies and textured beats, my sound is for you.

This isn’t background noise. It’s music with heart, groove, and purpose.

🎶 Let’s connect through sound. Join the journey.

ALBUM: "HARDLY KNOWN NEVER FORGOTTEN" out now!
Hey. I'm, ROUGE. I'm here to stay so get to know me! If yall enjoy some partying and getting lit sometimes, but then coming down and being a lil reflective about all that, then you'll vibe with my music. Peace out!

Here I am setting my many problems to music for your delectation. Enjoy.

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 two, I will unfollow you most of the time. The same goes if I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow back within a week or two, I'll unfollow.  😘
