I want more alone time
But when I get it I get bored 
When you’re gone I have to stop myself 
From buying a ticket out
When you’re here I’m distant
Can’t sleep all weekend

I’m making soup like there’s no tomorrow
Mending a dress like I know how to sew 
Trying to have my Saturday like all the rest
And savour this time at home

I could be out on the road and singing 
My big heart out every night 
Is it healthy to only have one thing
That makes my heart feel alive
 
Apart from you
I’m sorry I don’t sleep and you gotta deal with tears
You
I know that you love me but often I’m not me I disappear
Who
Knows how I’ll wake up 
How much space I’ll take up
I’m sorry I don’t sleep honey
And you gotta deal with me and my muddy mind

I want the best of both worlds
Can I borrow bits of you
And keep the pieces of me too
We’re almost how I tasted us
Easy as apple pie
A windfall myriad
Of what we nearly had

Am I allowed to say it’s painful
When I’ve got love and I’ve got a dream
Talking to positivity to strike a deal
It never quite makes the team

I could be out on a great adventure
People would stop and say you’re glowing dear
But I need to find light in my own home
And feel what it feels like
Without you

I try to stop myself from
Leaving me on the shelf
Like I’m a doll
Or a stuffed toy

And it’s a beautiful thing
Being an animal  
I’m a lion on it’s best and worst nights
But I still don’t know if I’ve got fight

But I’ve got you
I’m sorry I don’t sleep and you gotta deal with tears
You
I know that you love me but often I’m not me I disappear
Who
Knows how I’ll wake up 
How much space I’ll take up
I’m sorry I don’t sleep honey
And you gotta deal with me and my muddy mind

Lyrics:

Verse 1:  
I gave my soul, you gave a smile,  
But deep inside, you hid for a while.  
A love that felt real, but was just a show,  
A fleeting moment, that I’ll never know.

Pre-Chorus:  
I held on tight, but the threads were thin,  
Trapped in your charm, never knowing where to begin.  
I loved you deeply, but you faded away,  
Leaving only memories that still haunt my days.  

Chorus:  
Fading mirage, you were never real,  
A painted dream, a fake love to feel.  
But in my heart, you'll always stay,  
A ghost in my soul, leading me astray.  
I’ll always remember, though you’re not mine,  
In the end, I’m healing, one day at a time.

Verse 2:  
You whispered lies that felt so sweet,  
I danced in your game, but I never could beat.  
The love that was mine, now feels like a ghost,  
A shadow of warmth, I can’t seem to hold close.

Bridge:  
I forgive, I forget, but I won't let go,  
Though you faded, your love still feels like a glow.  
In my heart, you left your trace,  
But now it’s time to find my own grace.  

Chorus:  
Fading mirage, you were never real,  
A painted dream, a fake love to feel.  
But in my heart, you'll always stay,  
A ghost in my soul, leading me astray.
I’ll always remember, though you’re not mine,  
In the end, I’m healing, one day at a time.

Feel me
Just like you feel your heartbeat
On your wrists
Feel the hot blood pumping

Curious
Curious, your heart is
I might let you in
If I feel you're like me

And you crawl back to my arms and overdose

Crawl
Crawl yourself to my skin
Magnetised
To what you could not see

I'll make you fall
In so many ways
You could not imagine
I'll keep you entertained
Until nothing feels just like this

And you crawl back to my arms and overdose

It's so much faster
Feel it approaching
It's so much faster
I feel it coming
It's so much faster
I feel it coming
It's so much faster
I feel it coming

This feeling
This beating
Is harder
Than anything else

Will thicken
Will bubble
Erupt and cause trouble
We'll burst to fall

I'll watch it in rapture
An outstanding finding
And overcommitting
Cause it is so blinding
I'll try to capture
Euphoria and love
And I'm forgetting
That life is upsetting
That every beginning
Is start to an end
I will forget that we ever lived
I will forget that we ever lived

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
🌌 But ultimately, it defines its own world—one built from dark techno, darkwave, nu-jazz, and trap-rock fusion.
