So Long Lyrics

So long
I won't be used today
I'm not gonna step to your beat no more 
Do you hear what I'm saying ? 
So long
This is the price we pay
When you've got nothing
Nowhere to go
And you know that it's over 

I always thought of you as
Someone I could truly count on
But lately everything between us has been falling apart 
And when you look at things from my perspective 
It's hard to stay objective 
When I'm no longer feeling respected
So, I won't be staying
Because your tearing me up with things your saying
I'm sick of putting my ass on the line for you
Every time you feel empty

So go deal with your shit
It's your turn to live with it 
' cause your alone now
No one to push around 
I've sacrificed for you
I've made excuses too
With all your lying and your cheating 
You nearly killed me with the truth
'Cause when you drop the ball
-there are consequences 
And when you tell me that your sorry
-it's always under false pretences
And I'm sick of always being there
And of overcompensating
You're a danger to yourself , you hear ?
And I'm not longer waiting

I always thought of you as
Someone I could truly count on
But lately everything between us 
Just feels like war
And when you look at things from my perspective 
-I never felt protected
So tell me 
What is this for ? 
I won't be staying
Because the damage is done
And I am better than this
I'm sick of putting my ass on the line for you
Every time you feel empty

So Long

So Long by Ray Vazquez

I don't know much about this life, but I do know 
that if it wasn't for the music, I'd be totally lost .

Here's I Speak With Music

Lyrics

I speak with music
It's how I feel
I speak with rhythm 
This love is real 
If no one ever hears I thing 
that I've got to say
It wouldn't bother me- I'll say it anyway
I'll say it any way
(I speak)
I speak with music 

I see the world change
And it changes me
I speak with music
The music is my legacy
Don't need to ask permission
Take all the risks I like
Grateful I'm being heard
-hope it makes you feel alright

I speak with music
It's how I rise
No need to worry
No need to analyse
I speak with music
( I speak)
I speak with bass lines
Stay in control
Through it I do shine
It really feeds my soul
I speak with music
( I speak)

Straight through my skin
Down to my bones
All through my blood

Every new discovery
Is more powerful, you see
Its like a true dependency
It's my religion, gives me peace
It's the flow, where I go
To forget the shit I know
Don't drag me down, just give me sound
It turns everything around

I speak with beats yeah
Four to the floor
I speak with melody 
And I'm restored
All Creators understand
Beauty isn't always planned
It's the accidents that count
-that can shape what your about

I speak with music
Helps every time
I say what I feel 
Yeah and I'm fine, fine, fine
I speak with music
(I speak)
I speak with stories
Stay in control
Keep on creating 
So I don't feel so alone
I speak with music

I speak with music
It's how I feel
Know where I'm going
And this love is real
All Creators understand
Beauty isn't always planned
It's the accidents that count
-that can shape what your about
I see the world change
And it changes me
I speak from my own truth
And the truth will set me free
The truth will set me free
( I speak)

Breaking Beauty Down Lyrics

I've earned these lines upon my face
There's no more precious time to waste
I'm not ashamed to show my age
(Got no more) validation left to chase
No point regretting what is gone
It's time to glisten in the sun
And so I tell a world that's breaking beauty down
Be kinder to yourself while you are still around

You know it's pointless to feel you must compare
Yourself with others 
It doesn't get you anywhere
'Cause what is beautiful about you
-What makes you stand out from the crowd
Is that you're not afraid to be yourself
So go and make me proud

It does get easier
You don't have to move so fast
Don't break that beauty down
-Gotta make that inner beauty last
Be grateful for the little things
Be kinder to your past
Hold on to the mystery
And move more peacefully

It doesn't get you anywhere
To always think you must compare
Yourself to others -you shouldn't care
Go love the skin your in, be fair
'Cause no one else does what you do
And thats what 's beautiful about you
Don't be afraid to show your scars
Go be exactly who you are

I wan't to tell a world thats breaking beauty down
Be kinder to yourself
While you are still around
Be grateful for the little things 
And the happiness you've found
Hold on to your dignity
And move more peacefully

Breaking Beauty Down by Ray Vazquez

When I swim in the ocean,I find the waves to be a lot like grief itself—sometimes gentle in their nature, allowing you to sit still and safely reminisce; other times hard and unexpected, knocking you off guard and demanding your immediate attention.

I really wanted this particular remix to reflect the healing powers of the sea.. can't believe this song is now over ten years old! 

I hope you enjoy Cool States (Deep End Mix)

Cool States (Deep End Mix) by Ray Vazquez

My new track is part of REWORK—a project where I take my older songs and twist them into something different. It’s pushed me in ways I didn’t expect, but it’s also cracked open fresh ways to express myself and level up as a producer.

Here’s Stepping Out (Fantasy Mix).

Stepping Out (Fantasy Mix) by Ray Vazquez

At a time when everything’s built to divide, “Down With Love (Mirage Mix)” leans into what connects us — the raw hum of being human. And what’s clear is this: love — in every shape, every colour, every form — is the only thing that will ever save us.
