Love’s a Losing Game

"Old Love Letters," the latest offering from Makinen, is a poignant journey through the ruins of romance, a sonic exploration of love's quiet decay. This album isn't about fiery breakups or dramatic confrontations; it's about the subtle, creeping erosion of connection, the spaces left behind when passion fades.

NEVER GOT IT RIGHT

You Cannot Erase the US is a song about the erased history of America—the genocide of Indigenous people, the brutality of slavery, the exploitation of poor immigrants during the industrial revolution, and the way the wealthy still drain the lifeblood of the working class today.

They tell us to forget. They rewrite the narrative, silence the voices, strip away rights, and pretend that the suffering on which this nation was built never happened. But the truth cannot be buried.

The roads were paved by those they try to erase. The factories, the fields, the railroads, the wealth—it was never theirs to claim. And now, as the rich hoard power and turn the poor against each other, the same cycle continues.

This song is a reckoning. A call to remember. A call to fight back.

We are the people that built this nation. We are the ones they still bleed dry. We are the ones who dream the American dream. And we will not be erased.

This song intentionally mirrors the song You Cannot Erase US as a reminder to all that denying one group human rights affects all of us, and has been an unfortunate theme in American history.

Lyrics:
(Intro)
United we stand. Divided we fall.
Injustice for one is injustice for all.

(Verse 1)
They call this land the home of the free,
Yet paved the streets with stolen dreams.
Built on the bones of those they erased,
Yet still, we rise, still, we remain.

They broke our backs, they bought our hands,
Tilled labor’s blood into their land.
They chained our bodies, stole our breath,
Fed us to the industrial death.

(Pre-Chorus)
They preach of freedom, yet build the chains,
Turn dreamers into debt and pain.
But we are written in the stars,
No ruler’s hand can pull us apart.

(Chorus)
You cannot erase us, we are the proof,
The mark in your pages, the crack in your truth.
No blade, no law, no prayer, no shame,
Can strike us out, can steal our names.
We live, we breathe, we claim our space—
We will not be erased.

(Verse 2)
They steal our wages, they buy our laws,
Stack their wealth while we give it all.
They cut our rights, they raise the cost,
Say be grateful for what we’ve got.

They turn the people against themselves,
Keep power high upon their shelves.
Yet still, we gather, still, we rise,
Stand as one with fire inside.

(Pre-Chorus)
You can’t erase the blood, the fight,
Erase the pain, erase the light.
Erase the ones who won’t obey—
And still, we dream another day.

(Chorus)
You cannot erase us, we are the proof,
The mark in your pages, the crack in your truth.
No blade, no law, no prayer, no shame,
Can strike us out, can steal our names.
We live, we breathe, we claim our space—
We will not be erased.

(Bridge)
We are the voices, the hands, the fight,
The ones who stand for equal rights.
We are the dreamers who still believe,
In justice, mercy, and liberty.

We are the words that built this land,
The right to rise, to take a stand.
We hold these truths, we keep them bright,
No force can take away our light.

(Outro)
You cannot erase US.
You cannot erase US.
United, we remain.

Break Me Open

It’s too late 

(Verse 1) I hear your coming, I see that look, Standing in my doorway like you’re off the hook. Same old story, same tired game, But I ain't the one who’s gonna beg you to stay.
(Pre-Chorus) Don’t talk, don’t waste my time, Pack your bags, get out my life.
(Chorus) Get out, don’t say a word, Ain’t got time for your rehearsed Excuses, stories, all your lies— Take your bullshit, say goodbye. Don’t stall, don’t make me wait, You lost me now—it’s too late.
(Verse 2) I see the guilt, I see the shame, But I ain’t playin’ in your losing game. You crossed that line, now there’s no way back, So don’t stand there actin’ sad.
(Pre-Chorus) Don’t talk, don’t waste my time, Pack your bags, get out my life.
(Chorus) Get out, don’t say a word, Ain’t got time for your rehearsed Excuses, stories, all your lies— Take your bullshit, say goodbye. Don’t stall, don’t make me wait, You lost me now—it’s too late.
(Bridge) I don’t need your love, I don’t need your cries, Save the act, don’t dramatize. I gave you all, now I take it back, So turn around—don’t look back.
(Outro) Get out, don’t try to explain, You made your choice, now live with the pain. No second chances, no rewind, I’m done with you—get out my life.

It’s too late

Breaking bad

You dressed my wounds in perfect white
Gave me promises that lost their light
Thought I’d break, thought I’d fall apart
Now I’m the storm that’ll tear your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You kissed the venom, called it love
Now I’m the shadow you can’t outrun
Every rose you gave’s a bitter blade
And I’m the reckoning you’ve made
[Chorus] I move like silence dressed in black
You broke me once — I’m breaking bad
Hope she tastes the blood you hid
I know every dirty thing you did
You thought you’d fool me with your lies
Now I’m the bitch who’ll watch you die
[Verse 2] Your hands still stink of sweet decay She wears your guilt like cheap bouquet You haunt my name? I haunt you more I’m every lock you can’t restore
[Pre-Chorus] You kissed the venom, called it love
Now I’m the shadow you can’t outrun
Every rose you gave’s a bitter blade
And I’m the reckoning you’ve made
[Chorus] I move like silence dressed in black
You broke me once — I’m breaking bad
Hope she tastes the blood you hid
I know every dirty thing you did
You thought you’d fool me with your lies
Now I’m the bitch who’ll watch you die
[Bridge]
Save your lies, don’t waste your breath
You fucked it up, now dance with death
And when you’re crawling, broke and through
The last bitch standing? Yeah — guess who.
[Outro] Dead girl walking, heart turned black
You lit the fuse — I won’t hold back
No redemption, just my name
Branded in your goddamn shame
