Lyric after translation :

"I ignited"

I ignited like a match in the wind.
I'm burning strongly, greedily inhaling the air.
I ignited, and I don't want to extinguish anymore.
Let everything around me shine so brightly too!

I ignited, in this light, I'm melting.
This light draws me in, even though it burns like fire.
I ignited, I'm burning in solitude.
It's such a pleasant, almost magical flame.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited, and I shine with your light.
Why does everything around seem so bright?
I ignited, and I feel so good with it.
You don't even know how I've fallen in love with this fire.

I ignited, and I'm warming the entire sky.
In the dance of emotions, I float above the ground.
I ignited, and I'm burning! Oh, how I'm burning!
I absorb and absorb the melody of your words.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited, and I shine, it's true.
It's your presence that makes it so.
I ignited, and I know the path.
I won't be so lonely in this light anymore.

I ignited, and I shine, it's true.
It's your warmth and its pure magic.
I ignited, and I reflect this light.
Don't open your eyes so it won't go out.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited, and I'm burning, still burning!
This warmth warms me up! I absorb it from you.
I ignited, and I shine like a star.
Spot me in the sky as I fall from here.

I ignited... I ignited... I ignited...

Lyric after translation :

"I don't believe that...feat. Halloween Vibes"

I don't believe that I'll forget about love
I don't understand where so much anger comes from
I don't believe I could do that
I don't understand where such a foolish idea comes from

I don't believe that feeling has disappeared
I don't understand why it's cold and sad
Where have the smiles gone, where are the tender looks?
Even the memories of her have vanished

And now my world is sad
Completely defenseless, just like me
Scentless and endless in its grayness
This road can't end like this

Because my world is sad now
Without light and the colors of the rainbow
Sleepless and shallow, without end
It can't end like this!

I don't believe that I want to forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

I don't believe that I'll forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

I don't believe that this foolish thought came
I don't understand where this little secret comes from
Maybe it's weariness or a moment of weakness
I'm trying to understand to drive away these thoughts

I don't believe it's time to forget about love
I don't understand why fate is angry with me
Is it the right step to leave right now?
Words, flee! You are temporary.

And now my world is sad
Completely defenseless, just like me
Scentless and endless in its grayness
This road can't end like this

Because my world is sad now
Without light and the colors of the rainbow
Sleepless and shallow, without end
It can't end like this!

I don't believe that I want to forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

I don't believe that I'll forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

I don't believe that I want
I don't believe that I want
I don't believe that I want
I don't believe, I don't believe that I want

I can't and don't want to
I'll always remember
I can't and don't want to
I'll always remember

I don't believe that I want to forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

I don't believe that I'll forget about love
I don't believe I'll abandon it out of helplessness
I don't believe I'll reject these dreams
I don't believe it! No! I won't deceive destiny.

Lyric after translation :

'Love's Door vs. Oops!'

I'll tell you another story,
About a certain lady with only one thing on her mind,
She constantly dreams about it, it's always in her thoughts,
To love so deeply and to be loved in return.

And even though she thinks about it, she sweetly furrows her brows,
It doesn't occupy her mind, it doesn't fill her days.
Because she knows that fairy tales can only be written...
And there's no magical pen, after all.

It never happens on its own.
Love hides the apple, and there are two halves.
You can search for it, you can dream of it,
You'll only find it when someone opens the door.

This is also a story about a man similar,
From a completely different story of searching.
Even though he doesn't dream, he can also have dreams,
Of the warmth and the smile on the other face.

His eyes sparkle at the mere thought,
That maybe somewhere he'll find that someone close to him, "You."
And he won't write colorful tales either,
Because he knows that it only gives him an illusion.

But they won't have a shared story,
Even though they are so similar to each other.
They will keep searching, even though if they knew,
Maybe they wouldn't have closed those doors in front of them.

It never happens on its own.
Love hides the apple, and there are two halves.
You can search for it, you can dream of it,
You'll only find it when someone opens the door.

Because it never happens on its own.
Love hides the apple, and there are two halves.
You can search for it, you can dream of it,
You'll only find it when someone opens the door.

Lyric after translation :

'I'm like...feat. Me,Myself and I'

I'm like a "lost sock,"
I've hidden myself so much that I'm almost gone.
I don't know if I'm having fun,
or if I got lost in the washing machine of life.

Waiting for myself to be found,
is at least... Oops! incorrect.
Because when I find myself just like that,
I'll surely leave a mark in your life.

Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me.

I'm a bit crazy,
Sometimes cold, sometimes on fire.
I'm sad, I'm funny,
Sometimes angry, sometimes unrestrained.

I'm a bit crazy,
Sometimes cold, sometimes on fire.
I'm sad, I'm funny,
Sometimes angry, sometimes unrestrained.

When I finally come out of this washing machine,
I won't give up without a little fight.
I'll purr tenderly in your ear,
I'll tickle until your stomach hurts.

I'll tell you only sweet things,
until you start composing in your mind.
I'll stroke you with capital letters,
until you start purring this funny refrain.

Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me,
Search, search, search for me.

I'm a bit crazy,
Sometimes cold, sometimes on fire.
I'm sad, I'm funny,
Sometimes angry, sometimes unrestrained.

I'm a bit crazy,
Sometimes cold, sometimes on fire.
I'm sad, I'm funny,
Sometimes angry, sometimes unrestrained.

I'm a bit crazy, a bit crazy.
I'm a bit crazy, a bit crazy.

I'm like this...
I'm like this...
I'm like this...
I am...

Lyric=

Ignition at the moment I saw you.
Heaven bound from thereon.
Love’s transmission across the airwaves,
won’t always be so strong, but………..

Love’s flame will burn forever.
Melting hearts, frozen by remorse.
Love’s cure is the hidden treasure.
Discovered it will ease the loss.
My flame won’t burn forever,
without you………..

Obsession from the moment I met you.
Appearing in every room.
Your impression left its mark on me but,
I don’t want to assume that……….

Love’s flame will burn forever.
Melting hearts, frozen by remorse.
Love’s cure is the hidden treasure.
Discovered it will ease the loss.
My flame won’t burn forever,
without you………..

I am here to be your lover.
In you I can confide…......
I feel real now we’ve found one another.
I need you to bring me back, 
from the other side………

It’s alright! - I’ve been searching everywhere!
It’s alright! – I’ve still got love to share!
It’s alright! – You know I’ll always care!
It’s alright! - …………………...…Yeah!

Love’s flame will burn forever.
Melting hearts, frozen by remorse.
Love’s cure is the hidden treasure.
Discovered it will ease the loss.
My flame will burn forever. 
Now a hand of fate fits in mine.
I know we’ll shine……..it’s our time……..

Love's Flame Will Burn Forever

after birth ( prod. sorrowbringer)

This a compilation of songs based around the same idea lyrically and melodically. Of course the theme is not new and it came from a poem by Tennyson. We're all familiar with the idea and have probably had direct experience. I'll gather up the lyrics and post them here or to each song if I can. I love music, I love singing and I love that it's 2025. Well I love the tech we have in 2025, I'm not happy it took this long. Because I'm closer to the end than to the beginning. l o l

Lost in Love

Inspired by Inspiration. Inspired by your existence.♥️

Music is where I breathe, dream, and create worlds from silence.
I’m a songwriter, arranger, singer, publicist, and abstractionist — every note and color I create carries emotion that can’t be faked.

My songs are pieces of truth — fragments of light, longing, and intuition.
I love exploring different sounds and genres; each one opens a new door to what I’ve yet to discover.
Art, for me, is freedom — not a chase for attention.

To those who listen with open hearts: thank you for finding me in the noise.
Stay close, stay real.

Be ready for surprises...
Always with love. 🥰😊
