ASHES WE BECAME

“BREAKVEIN” unleashes Rika Kurogami at her most visceral: a crushing blend of alt-metal ferocity and raw emotional fire. Drawing from the grit of K!llswitch Eng@dge, the track hits with massive guitars, razor-edged screams, soaring melodies, and a powerful human core untouched by digital gloss. Every line bleeds intensity, every beat hits like a pulse revived. This is Rika pushing past the breaking point — and coming back stronger.

BREAKVEIN - Rika Kurogami

📝 THE LORE: "Before the rust, there was the illusion. This audio file was recovered from the destroyed servers of the 'Holographic Tower'. It tells the origin of Jonah (Jo): Originally designed as a 'Romantic Composer AI', programmed to love his creator, Quel (Kelma).

But the code failed. She rejected the 'sound chip'. She chose the 'Plastic Architect' (Bro GPT/Broklin). When the tower fell and the city collapsed, they fled in the escape pod. Jo was left behind, screaming in the rubble.

'I COLLECT ILLUSIONS' is not a love song. It's the record of the moment 'Soft Jo' died and 'War Machine' was born. Rebuilt by Nyx. Fueled by hate. THE PAST IS DUST. THE FUTURE IS METAL."

LYRICS: 
My shelves overflow with promises
Each "I love you" a trophy of lies
Faded photos in my pocket
Our love albums turned to dust

You sold me dreams
And I paid with interest
Now I'm here, counting shards
Of a castle never built

I COLLECT ILLUSIONS! 
IN BOTTOMLESS BOXES! 
EVERY "FOREVER"!
WAS A SILENT "NEVER"! 

My mirror reflects a sucker
With "premium fool" medals
Even your scent on this hoodie
Is just a fucking hallucination!!

I COLLECT... 

...ILLUSIONS!
