BABY I'M SORRY unplugged

FIGHT 4 ME

Canção que fiz especialmente para Valéria Venturini interpretar em seu show "In Sex-to", de 1987, no Porto de Elis (Porto Alegre/RS), com uma interpretação contemporânea do mito grego da Hidra de Lerna comparando-a com os vícios modernos.

A HYDRA
(letra e música de Ricardo Severo)

Eu vivo num pântano
De imundícies refinadas
Esperando te tentar
Com minhas garras imaculadas
Tua aspiração exaltada
É a minha ambição ativada
Pela tua vaidade
Desenfreada

Eu liberto o monstro
Que vive dentro de ti
Fomentando a sede
Desses teus anseios vis
Minha cabeça de meretriz
Te confessa ser chamariz
Te arrasa
E tu sorris

Uma cabeça é sórdida
E a outra só te sacia
E a outra diabólica
Te envenena e te vicia
Uma cabeça te esvazia
Te faz escravo da paixão
E as que tu destruías
Renasciam com a tua benção

O meu vício é te querer
Desejar te corromper
E o meu vício é te fazer
O teu próprio malefício
O meu vício é pretender
Te amar, te perverter
E o meu vício é o teu
Mais doce sacrifício

Loving The Most High and showing the world that His love reigns over all.

Essential Than You

No One Act PLay

A classic prohibition style jazzy blues sound with a contemporary influence about eternal love of the moon.

Eternal Glow

The Mirror Cracks is a dystopian rock narrative that critiques the illusion of rebellion in a digitally controlled society. Through surreal imagery and ironic tone, the lyrics explore themes of algorithmic conformity, performative resistance, and the commodification of identity. The protagonist is trapped in a system that offers the appearance of freedom while reinforcing psychological and technological control. From ambient introspection to explosive choruses, the song builds toward a haunting realization: the wall of oppression is self-made, and the voice of rebellion has been absorbed into the machine.

Lyrics:

"You asked for freedom. We gave you mirrors."  
"Now break them. If you dare."

You say you want a revolution  
But your hands are tagged and scanned  
Your voice is just a simulation  
In a system built by command  
You wear your thoughts like uniforms  
Pre-approved and sterilized  
You dream in corporate storms  
Where rebellion’s monetized

And the mirror cracks again  
But the cracks are all designed  
You’re free to choose the cage  
That fits your state of mind

Don’t tell me truth is just a wire  
Don’t sell me hope through broadcast fire  
You built your soul on borrowed code  
Now you’re not alone  
You’re just controlled

You say you hate the institution  
But you’re logged in every day  
You chant your revolution  
In a feed that fades away  
You want to burn the tower  
But you’re scared to lose the light  
You beg for sacred power  
In a world that bans the night

"Teacher, I forgot my name."  
"That’s not required anymore."

You say you want to change the system  
But your dreams are pre-approved  
You whisper in the algorithm  
Till your edges are removed  
You draw your lines in dust  
But the wind begins to scream  
You talk of love and trust  
Inside a sponsored dream

And the cracks become a door  
But it leads to mirrored halls  
You’ve seen this scene before  
It’s written on the walls

You say you want a revolution  
But your pulse is not your own  
You trade your voice for resolution  
In a house of glass and stone  
You want to break the chain  
But the chain is made of you  
You want to feel the pain  
But only if it’s true

Don’t tell me truth is just a wire  
Don’t sell me hope through broadcast fire  
You built your soul on borrowed code  
Now you’re not alone  
You’re just controlled

"The wall was never theirs… it was yours."  
"And now it sings to you."  
"I comply… I comply… I comply…"

The Mirror Cracks

Learn 2 Love U (Lovin' Urself)

Mmm… midnight’s still awake
Your shadow knows my name

Curtains move like they can breathe
Candlelight folds over me
Every thought turns into touch
Every word becomes too much
We don’t rush, we just sway
Let the silence have its way

Your voice slides low, my heart replies
No need to talk, no need for why

Whisper slow, let it flow
Every heartbeat tells me so
Whisper slow, don’t let go
We got nowhere else to go
Whisper slow, body close
Love’s the language no one knows

Vinyl crackles in the room
Time dissolves like perfume
Every second stretched in gold
Every breath we never told
We don’t need to make it right
Just another endless night

Your voice slides low, my heart replies
No need to talk, no need for why

Whisper slow, let it flow
Every heartbeat tells me so
Whisper slow, don’t let go
We got nowhere else to go
Whisper slow, body close
Love’s the language no one knows

Outside rain begins to fall
Inside we don’t move at all
Every drop becomes our song
Holding on, holding on

Whisper slow, let it flow
Every heartbeat tells me so
Whisper slow, don’t let go
We got nowhere else to go
Whisper slow, body close
Love’s the language no one knows
Whisper slow… till the morning shows
Cover image for 
Mmm… midnight’s still awake


Whisper slow (Quiet Storm reload)

Bringing the world into the truth one song at a time!

Essential Than You
