Left Behind

“Blisters and Bedrock” – ArcaneKanuck

This is not a villain’s anthem—it’s a father’s vow carved in scars and fire.
Silco sings to Jinx, not as a warlord, but as a broken man who found his soul in the chaos of his daughter. Every word is a promise: he would trade kingdoms, power, even himself—just to keep her alive.

Cinematic pianos burn under noir-industrial textures, with ghostly whispers and fractured harmonies shaping a Cinematic Emo Pop / Punk-Noir Ballad. It’s the sound of love twisted into obsession, and of a father reborn in the one person he could never let go.

🎶 For fans of: Arcane, Son Lux, Nine Inch Nails, Halsey’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.

I was forged in shadows, steel and spite,
Dreams of freedom burning in the Zaunite night.
But the world turned colder, and the lines grew hard,
'Til I found you crying, arms open, heart scarred.


All my ambitions, the dreams I once knew,
Fade in the rain when I’m holding you.

I’ll walk through fire, through blisters and bedrock,
For you, my daughter, I’ll never unlock
The doors that keep you from the world’s cruel song-
In my arms, you’ll always belong.

If the world demands a price, I’ll pay it twice-
Your life, your light, my only device.
Let the city tremble, let kingdoms fall,
For you, my daughter, I’ll give it all.


Once I was ruthless, a name whispered in fear,
But your laughter softened every jagged year.
You’re the spark in the darkness, the gun in my hand,
The reason I falter, the strength where I stand.


All that I’ve broken, all that I’ve lost,
Means nothing beside what your love has cost.


I’ll walk through fire, through blisters and bedrock,
For you, my daughter, I’ll never unlock
The doors that keep you from the world’s cruel song-
In my arms, you’ll always belong.

If the world demands a price, I’ll pay it twice-
Your life, your light, my only device.
Let the city tremble, let kingdoms fall,
For you, my daughter, I’ll give it all.


Let the rain wash away who I used to be,
Your tears are the only truth left in me.
I was undone by a single embrace,
A father reborn in your shattered grace.


I’ll walk through fire, through blisters and bedrock,
For you, my daughter, I’ll never unlock
The doors that keep you from the world’s cruel song-
In my arms, you’ll always belong.

If the world demands a price, I’ll pay it twice-
Your life, your light, my only device.
Let the city tremble, let kingdoms fall,
For you, my daughter, I’ll give it all.


Blisters and bedrock, scars and stone,
With you, my daughter, I am finally home.

Blisters And Bedrock

Just some twitter musings on the present lawlessness in general.

Lyrics:

A journo was making a rather wooden take
That our very cultural survival was at stake
Reciting cliches, chapter and verse
And the state of his cause got progressively worse
As i passively catalogued his obvious failings

As i witnessed his histrionic railing
I admired his persistence 
Tearing on the weenies
Burying the gawking grifters
And telling those randy stoats to get wrecked
And extolling in all parts the liminal grace of 
The champions of full-gilled bravado
And forthright deportment
And bewailing the existence of
Beanie wearing peacoat-bedecked hipsters
Walking around carrying artisanal baked goods
And oat milk cortados in broad daylight in Portland

But the reality of course was rather more dire
Notably an individual in lingerie
Covered in sores stomping a windshield 
And generally ruining some hapless driver's day
Before attempting to light a man on fire
The nearby police 
Bereft of civic desire
Watched for a moment
Before calmly walking away

Banalities Of The Peacoat-Bedecked

Blue Snowflakes

The lift breaks again
Seven flights of steps
I curse each one
I already miss you

A stranger complains
about the coffee taste
but all I can think
is the sound you make

The meeting drags on
Someone presents the slides
Their voice is a drone
my mind slips aside

I draw your outline
in the corner of notes
No one suspects
where my mind has gone

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

Lunch in the canteen
plastic and gray
They ask about deadlines
I nod, walk away

Your face in my mind
serene and absurd
You rarely speak
yet you speak every word

They bargain with minutes
they measure the day
But meaning is elsewhere
I've left it with you
I already miss you

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

And then
the door swings wide open
You greet me with cuddles and fur
with thunder of purr
with eyes that forgive the whole day

I missed you
You missed me
And nothing could be truer

I Already Miss You

Ron Snyder sent Austin Grey some music (which happened to be for the verses) for him to come up with some lyrics and a melody. Austin came up with the lyrics, melody, bridges and repackaged it into this demo recording. He has a lot of soul in his voice.
