Better manz

Lyrics 

[Verse]
Dark nights the lights so bright
Whispers call me in the night
Promises of joy so near
Masking all the pain and fear

[Verse 2]
Chasing dreams I couldn't keep
Lost myself in pleasures deep
Family's cries just faded sound
Shadows pull me further down

[Chorus]
Sweet ecstasy I held so tight
Made me feel so high so bright
Lost my way couldn't see the fall
Addiction's grip it took it all

[Verse 3]
Once a man with morals true
Now I'm someone I never knew
Turned my back on love and kin
Pleasure's grasp it pulled me in

[Bridge]
Embarrassment I faced the shame
Love so close to slipping away
Near-death brush brought me back
Fighting hard against the knack

[Chorus]
Sweet ecstasy I held so tight
Made me feel so high so bright
Lost my way couldn't see the fall
Addiction's grip it took it all

Sweet Temptation's Fall

Alright, so this album, Silent Roads, is one of those deeply haunting, intimate collections that takes you right into the heart of lost love and longing. Imagine an album that feels like wandering down empty roads at night, where every song is like a memory coming back to life, even though it’s painful. The songs all have this soft, slow, acoustic feel, with instruments like piano, violin, and especially the guitar, which just aches with every note. It’s like the guitar itself is grieving, you know?

Each track really explores the weight of what’s left behind after a relationship falls apart—not just the sadness, but the regret, the unanswered questions, and that bittersweet “what if” that never goes away. The lyrics are so raw and direct, they kind of hit you with all the things we usually try to bury or avoid. Some tracks are about missed moments and things unsaid, while others are more about finally letting go, even though you’re not ready.

It’s all told from this really vulnerable perspective, with baritone vocals that feel weary and deeply reflective, like he’s just sitting there, talking to himself or maybe to her ghost. There are songs that mention memories of shared laughter, promises that couldn’t last. It’s incredibly poetic but painfully relatable, especially if you’ve ever gone through a breakup that left you with a sense of unfinished business.

I’d say Silent Roads is less about moving on and more about understanding that some love stays with you, no matter how far you go. It’s one of those albums where you don’t just listen; you feel it. Perfect for late nights when you just want to be alone with your thoughts.

only if you stayed

I hate being so cynical
I hate feeling so
Cautious and jaded and scared

What has made us this way?
Who has led us so far astray?
Surely this can’t be
All we can be

Can we undo it all?
Lay down the armor
Of smooth and easy insincerity

Oh, how good would that be?  

I hate being so hard
I hate going through motions
And feeling so dead inside

Sometimes this isolation is crushing me
And it’s hard to figure out how I should be
How I can be
Different

Can we undo it all
With openness, courage and love?
Can I reach out to you?
And you to me?

Oh, how good would that be?

Esta canción es una oración de arrepentimiento y vida nueva. Inspirada en Lucas 13:1–9, habla de la misericordia de Dios que nos da otra oportunidad para dar fruto y de la urgencia de convertir el corazón antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

1025 No Esperes, basada en Lucas 13_1-9

“Two hearts running on fumes, pretending the spark’s still there. This is the sound of giving up gently — no blame, no rounds fired, just quiet collapse. Sometimes the only way to heal is to stop trying to hold what’s already gone. Like dust through your hands and into the wind, forever gone and never coming back.”
