POV: 2000s Rock

Super Power

"New Fear" - the new single from Rival Waves - out May 9, 2025 on Lunar Drive Records

New Fear:
rust never sleeps
and time won’t forget
the depths we have plumbed
to pay down our…

guilt is a plague
kept out of the way
a short-sighted lie
keeps the wolves at bay

embrace the wonder
take hold of the wheel 
create, rediscover 
and learn how to feel

it’s not too late
to know we’re not okay

life in a doom scroll
chaos well-defined
curated to muzzle
and keep us all…

consumed in (consuming) our pain
a somnambulant rave
the fear of missing out
breeds a new fear these days

embrace the wonder
take hold of the wheel 
create, rediscover 
and learn how to feel

it’s not too late
to know we’re not okay

I’ll hide myself away
(I’m gonna fight it, I’m gonna fight it)
only myself to blame
(I can’t deny it, I can’t deny it, I can’t deny it)

embrace the wonder
take hold of the wheel 
create, rediscover 
and learn how to feel

it’s not too late
to know we’re not okay

New Fear (2025)

‘Southern discomfort’ is a song about feeling like a stranger in your own craft. An unnerving single about being outsiders and not finding a place in a world full of scenes.

TIM BRINK AND THE RISING - 09 - Borrowed Time

“The song has always made me sad. I mean, it's not a "sad" song so to speak. 
The Japanese culture has always placed such huge importance on honor... 
So many of these pilots died for no reason, other than honor. The war was essentially lost by that point. It's very romantic and tragic.” -Mitch Steele-

LYRICS

Kamikaze 
The engine's on fire
Kamikaze 
Fulfilling desire
Kamikaze 
Flipping and turning 
Kamikaze 
The earth is a yearning 

And we won't come... back back back back back back back 

Kamikaze 
The engine's on fire
Kamikaze 
Thrilling desire
Kamikaze 
It is my vision
Kamikaze 
Fulfilling my mission 

And, we won't come back… 

Skies are turning red
The sun burns out my eyes
Into the void rise! 

Kamikaze 
Flipping and twisting
Kamikaze 
Enter the vision
Kamikaze 
Filling the mission
Kamikaze 
Twisting and spinning 

(Mother told me of a grandiose plan 
Don't come home alive boy
I'll meet you on the other side
And, I know this much is true)

Kamikaze 
The engine's on fire
Kamikaze 
Fulfilling desire
Kamikaze 
Flipping and turning 
Kamikaze 
The earth is a yearning 

(When a man stands before his father
He must give everything)

Skies are turning red
The sun burns out my eyes
Slip into eternity
The sun will rise

Kamikaze

Cashed Out

Mi otro yo

This track is about a person who is tired of all the lies and deceptions in life and seeking the truth from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Let's rock!

Tell Me

Clockwork

“Why Me” is a powerful hard-rock anthem that fuses raw emotion with heavy, melodic intensity. Built on driving guitars and thunderous rhythms, the song carries a mid-tempo pulse that gives space for its lyrics to cut deep. The mood is deeply introspective, channeling themes of loss, questioning, and resilience while holding onto a sense of strength in the face of pain.

The track’s sound bridges hard rock muscle with echoes of ‘90s grunge, balancing grit and melody in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Vocals soar between vulnerable confession and unrelenting urgency, pulling listeners into the heart of the song’s message.

At its core, “Why Me” is an honest reflection on struggle and survival, meant to resonate with anyone who has ever asked life’s hardest questions and fought to find meaning in the chaos.
