Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

[Verse 1]
I found an old map in the drawer, creased and worn thin,
Highways like scars where we’d both let the world in.
You said, “Follow the lines, they’ll lead you somewhere true,”
But the roads only led me back to you.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.
[music hook]
[Verse 2]
The coffee shop booth where we sat feels like a ghost town now,
Your laugh was a melody I can’t remember how.
I trace the cracks in the table, the ones we used to ignore,
Like the fractures in us we never learned to restore.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.

[Bridge]
I keep the map folded, though it’s useless and torn,
A relic of the places we were never sworn.
The ink’s fading fast, like the promises we made,
But I can’t let go of the roads we never paved.

[Outro]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the skies above,
But no chart can guide me through the wreckage of love.
I’ll keep moving forward, though the road’s unclear,
Maybe the destination’s not why I’m here.
And maybe the beauty’s in the trying, not the rhyme,
In the way we keep searching for what we left behind.

Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

I need some real love, Baby
legitimate and true,
something that’s bona fide
a long and blissful ride,
I hoping that it’s you
hoping that it’s you...

Don’t need facsimile’s
they’ve been so cruel to me
I need romance that’s real
something two hearts can feel,
that’s leaves us breathless
and undoubtedly
will only ever be
about just you and me.

I know that you have known
weary sorrows of
Guys full of lust all
offering borrowed love,
My love comes honestly
you can depend on me.

You’ll be my fantasy…..
please let me count on you
to share sweet love so true
and here’s what I can do..

I’ll treat you like my Queen
Unlike you’ve ever seen,
I’ll share with you my wealth
with you I’ll be compelled,
To offer nothing counterfeit
real money…no cheap shit,
these are not lustful words
with you it’d be absurd.

I’ll give you everything
real life, real dreams and hope,
we’ll love like royal folks
and I will be your King,
your throne will be my lap
when in your arms I’m wrapped,
no love that’s fake.....that’s crap.

Kisses beyond compare
right here within your grasp,
Passion that’s platinum
beyond Imaginings,
all this and more I’ll bring, baby
say "yes" to everything...

And we will always be
the latest happening
In true love’s history
shared with consistency
by just me loving you
baby…
and you loving me.

My love is Genuine
Baby, won’t you
please be mine?
Baby...won't you
please be mine...??
Please.....................Baby

Real Love.-by-Matthew F. Blowers III

"Page Blanche" is a vibrant French adaptation inspired by Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten," reimagined for 2025 with a fresh perspective while maintaining the original's empowering essence. Set to a backdrop of beatboxing and upbeat pop rhythms, this song carries listeners through a journey of self-discovery and creative liberation.

The title "Page Blanche" (meaning "Blank Page") perfectly captures the central metaphor of the composition—the untapped potential waiting within each person. The lyrics beautifully express the universal experience of facing uncertainty, finding one's voice, and embracing the freedom to write one's own story.

The beatboxing foundation gives the song a contemporary, organic feel, while the upbeat pop structure ensures its accessibility and dance appeal. The French lyrics add a layer of poetic elegance, with the rhythmic flow of the language complementing the percussive elements of the production.

Page Blanche

Patiently waiting for these five days to pass so I see you two.
Always feels like forever I miss you finding it hard to fill my days with things To do and take my mind off knowing I'm not with you.
Being separated in a family is the hardest thing anyone has to go through, there's many others like me so I'll make it work undoubtedly. 
To My kids I miss. I wish it never had to come to this. It's the way it is cuz of the way it was and that wasn't fair on any of us. The pain the struggle the loud mouths from the struggling couple it wasnt fair on you two. So leaving was the hardest but the only thing I could do. tried to make it work but the harder I tried the more it was torn.
I love you don't ever forget it I'd give my life to give you a second. You two my angels sent from heaven my girls my highest possession I would give anything for you and would do anything to see it through. Your loving daddy sending love from afar know you're in my heart no matter where you are think and remember to look up were underneath the same stars. Love from daddy.i miss you.

love daddy

Take me to the stars

Thank You Lord 👑

Transference can leave a ghost in every person's life you once touched.

Nostalgia in Disguise

Curse Before the Hearse

Suffocate

[Couplet 1]
J’étais fille, timide, l’été chantait doux
Il m’a souri, le cœur battait un peu flou
On riait fort, on parlait de tout, de rien
Ses mains frôlaient les miennes, sans besoin de rien

Au bord du lac, le ciel se couchait lentement
L’eau dorée, comme nos rêves d’adolescents
C’est là que j’ai connu le goût d’un premier baiser
Et cru que l’amour, c’était pour l’éternité

[Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Sans promesses, sans regrets
Juste deux cœurs dans la lumière
D’un monde qu’on pensait sincère
C’était pur, c’était léger
Comme un souffle qu’on voudrait garder
Oui, c’était… l’amour parfait

[Couplet 2]
Un matin d’août, il est parti sans détour
"On se reverra," a-t-il dit — cruel discours
Depuis, j’ai cherché son regard dans d’autres yeux
Mais aucun n’a su parler à mon feu

On grandit, on apprend à dire "ce n’est rien"
Mais parfois, la nuit, son prénom me revient
Et je me demande, dans le silence, en secret
Si je connaîtrai un jour un autre amour parfait

[Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Sans promesses, sans regrets
Juste deux cœurs dans la lumière
D’un monde qu’on pensait sincère
C’était pur, c’était léger
Comme un souffle qu’on voudrait garder
Oui, c’était… l’amour parfait

[Pont / Bridge]
Le temps efface… mais pas tout à fait
Il reste un éclat… d’amour parfait

[Dernier Refrain]
C’était l’amour parfait
Le genre qu’on n’oublie jamais
Même si la vie passe et file
Il vit encore… dans mon exil
C’était pur, c’était léger
Et mon cœur n’a jamais cessé
De rêver… à l’amour parfait

L’amour Parfait

L’amour Parfait (Perfect love)

dsundre - 528 She Team dont ask what Im not doing

Hey there! My name is Tawny Harding. I come from a small town where I found myself always feeling out of place. Feeling like I didn’t belong, never wanting to do the things others had interest in. That feeling became an anxiety for me and I felt like I couldn’t even speak so, instead I started creating music. It was the only way I could really vocalize how I was feeling. I remember watching mom and dad play in their band and I just loved the confidence I was able to see in them on that stage and the intense emotion I’d feel every time like, “man, this is where I really belong.” However throughout time, life got wild for me, health took a turn but I never let go of music. Just recently I’m willing to put it out there for the world to hear. Music is the one thing that never left me or gave up on me so I owe it to that to do the same. I’m working towards being one of the first artists to cover ALL genres. It hasn’t been easy but sheeeeesh!!! It’s been a lot of fun. I truly hope that you enjoy what I’m putting out there and can relate to certain songs in a way that provides therapy for you. I want my music to do for you, what’s it’s always done for me, kept me pushing, and kept it to where I could still see beauty in the mess.
