RESISTANCE SESSIONS GUEST MIX #51 - by Avisha

A haunting exploration of inherited expectations and corporate identity crisis. The song uses the metaphor of silk ties as nooses to examine how the narrator struggles between becoming his father's ghost in the business world versus finding his authentic self. The recurring question "Which ghost are you trying to become" drives home themes of generational pressure, corporate conformity, and the suffocating nature of living up to others' expectations. The imagery of boardrooms, colored ties for different days, and late-night moments of vulnerability creates a vivid portrait of modern masculine struggle.


Which Ghost

Morning mirror shows my father's face
Looking back through forty years of silk
While I practice tying knots he never taught me
Each noose another knot for what I've built
In boardrooms where his ghost still walks the halls
And I rehearse the words he used to say

Which ghost are you trying to become
When you wrap that silk around your throat
While your true self whispers from the shadows
Which ghost are you trying to become

There's a warden in my closet
Arranging colors like a mood ring chart
Monday morning burgundy for strength
Wednesday blue for video smiles with lies
Thursday's pattern hides what I destroy
While Friday's gold can't mask what's in my eyes

Which ghost are you trying to become
When you wrap that silk around your throat
When your souls light splits through corporate armor
Which ghost are you trying to become

At two AM I'm naked in the light
Red Windsor marks still pressed into my skin
These silk rosaries around my neck
The only prayers I remember how to sing
When did the noose become my daily bread
The corporate communion wine I drink

Which ghost am I trying to become
When I wrap this silk around my throat
When my gut strings play a different tune
My father's ghost or someone I've outgrown
Which ghost am I trying to become
The man I was before I learned to hide
Which ghost am I trying to become


Which Ghost

THE SHADOW IN THE LONG WHITE CLOUD - Collective Shadow / Aotearoa

Aotearoa dreams on a bed of smouldering stones, where Taupo's caldera holds 
its ancient breath. Collective shadow explores how nations deny historical 
trauma—"pohutukawa roots crack colonial foundations, each broken stone a 
small death of indigenous dreams." Volcanic imagery as psychological 
diagnosis. When Ruaumoko stirs with unspoken rage, denied collective 
trauma demands reckoning.

Psychedelic punk-folk with Māori ceremonial elements. Rebellious and sacred.

The Shadow in the Long White Cloud   (Lyrics)

Aotearoa dreams on a bed of smouldering stones,
where Taupo's caldera holds its ancient breath -
its heart a pounamu of unspoken truths,
black and gleaming with night-sweat confessions.
In Rotorua's steaming pools, guilt rises like mist,
where Whakarewarewa's breath scalds the conscience clean.
Māori guides, their faces mapped with moko,
sing histories that bleed into the sulphurous air.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd
to avoid facing their own souls.

Wellington's wind howls through Thorndon's graves,
carrying the cries of forgotten chiefs across Te Aro.
The Beehive hums, a hive of shadow-bees
making bitter honey from the flowers of discontent,
while beneath Lambton Quay, old bones shift
in their concrete tombs, restless with remembering.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd
to avoid facing their own souls.

Auckland's glass towers pierce Queen Street's sky,
their obsidian teeth gnawing at ancestral clouds.
In Britomart's chrome cafes, executives sip flat whites
bitter with memory, while pohutukawa roots
crack colonial foundations - each broken stone
a small death of indigenous dreams.
From Maungakiekie's scarred summit,
the long white cloud darkens to indigo,
pregnant with the weight of silenced voices.


People will do anything, no matter how absurd
to avoid facing their own souls.

When will this land birth its hidden self,
screaming its pain to the Matariki stars,
their seven lights piercing our collective night?
A tremor grows beneath motorway and marae,
a people's voice rising through concrete canyons.

Ruaumoko, god of earthquakes,
stirs in his earthen cradle,
fault lines crackling with unspoken rage,
ready to dance our spirits into new shapes.

From Maungakiekie's scarred summit,
the long white cloud darkens to indigo,
pregnant with the weight of silenced voices.

In the gloaming, Tui sing laments in Titirangi,
while in city parks, kereru drop purple tears
on the graves of trees we forgot to mourn.

Listen—beneath Te-Moana-nui-a-Kiwa,
Tangaroa's heart drums like a war party,
each beat a prophecy of rising seas.
While we sleep in our concrete dreams,
all our shadows turn to salt.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd
to avoid facing their own souls.

Listen—beneath Te-Moana-nui-a-Kiwa,
Tangaroa's heart drums like a war party,
each beat a prophecy of rising seas.
While we sleep in our concrete dreams,
all our shadows turn to salt.
 


The Shadow in the Long White Cloud

like a drunk checking his face

A sensual journey through intimate moments where the sacred and physical merge into pure presence. This psychedelic folk meditation celebrates the divine feminine through vivid sensory detail—strawberry kisses, chocolate-coated lips, rain tapping on tin roofs, bodies moving in adagio ballet.
Between sheets and storms, citrus and cream, twilight and amber light, two lovers become mirrors of each other. Cicadas hum, white gulls echo, and Satchmo rain plays bass rhythm while the universe suspends time like commas hanging on clouds.
"We're a mirror of the other, the storm sleeps as it pours ambrosia"
This track worships the body as temple, pleasure as prayer, and intimate connection as spiritual practice.
A celebration of the Goddess through touch, taste, and tender surrender.
🎵 Sensual poetry meets psychedelic folk

STRAWBERRIES and CHOCOLATE   ( Lyrics )

In the sheets suspended between breaths
A banquet of strawberry kisses on lips and throats
Drizzles of dew in the damp morning grass
Naked bodies weave 
Limbs entwined in the pulse of our heartbeats
A chorus of white gulls echo, twilight surrenders
Obsidian sky pierced by a glowing sun
On the shore, waves caress sand in gentle nibbles
Leaving trails of foam
Cicadas hum the river, rocking the water's surface
Tangy scent of fresh citrus burst from the confectioner's box
Mingling with the aroma of cocoa and cream
Fingers like ink trace the curves of skin
Velvety dark chocolate coats lips
Eyes meet in a spiral of locked irises
Droplets pop on the tight umbrellas canvas
Clocks suspend like commas hang on clouds
Rain taps ivory keys on the old red tin roof
Our spines silver-spoon in the warmth
Adagio ballet unfolds, bodies surf on motions edge
Shafts of amber light flicker on silk, cedar, and skin
Satchmo rain plays a bass rhythm
Fingers and lips coated sugar babies
Sheltered beneath a rainbow
Shoulders brush, feet slip into slippers
We're a mirror of the other
The storm sleeps as it pours ambrosia
Into green pitcher cups

Strawberries and Chocolate

Dark political gospel channeling Orwellian dread through contemporary RB and neo-soul. A haunting meditation on power, propaganda, and modern exploitation, where Squealer's lies multiply through pocket screens and Boxer's ghost haunts the gig economy. From whispered conspiracy to thunderous condemnation, this track traces the line from Animal Farm's barn to today's Amazon warehouses—where we've become unable to tell democracy from auction, new boss from old boss.

ANIMAL FARM ( Lyrics )

The commandments were painted fresh
On the barn wall that first morning
White letters drip wet in dawn light
All animals are equal
Fresh starts, clean slates
Until you notice the ladder
Leaning against tomorrow's lies

By evening, Squealer stood
Beneath the same wall
Explaining why milk
Disappeared into the farmhouse
Why apples rotted
In pigs' bellies while horses
Worked double shifts on empty stomachs

He could sell water to drowning men
And make them thank him
His voice, smooth as butter
Turned equal into necessary
Theft into supervision
Hunger into sacrifice

The animals nodded, bodies
Betraying what minds couldn't grasp
Stomachs growling dissent
Like children crying for mothers
Who will never come

Napoleon's teeth gleamed
While Snowball's exile order
Dripped ink on the desk
Two pigs, one throne
Revolution eating its children
Before they learned to walk
Each betrayal sharp as glass
Cutting through brotherhood's myth

In pocket screens
Squealer multiplies
Ten thousand voices explaining
Why billionaires need tax cuts
Why surveillance protects freedom
Why your job disappearing
Means progress

Pay attention to small lies
They lead to larger darkness
Watch Boxer at the quarry
Haunches tremble under weight
Repeating I will work harder
As his spine curves
Toward claiming earth

Hard work, another word
For slowly killing yourself
For someone else's dream
This is Tuesday at Amazon
Wednesday at The Warehouse
Thursday's gig economy
Where your car becomes office
Debt becomes motivation
Body becomes currency
Traded for permission to exist
Each day carved from flesh

Some animals are more equal than others
Paint still wet
When they changed the commandment
Morning said one thing
Nightfall, another
No one remembered original words
Except the feeling something
Was stolen while they slept
Memory bleeding black
Into forgetfulness

Election night, two thousand twenty-four
The candidate promising change
Shakes hands with lobbyists
In rooms without cameras
News anchors explain
Why handshakes mean progress
Why healthcare disappearing
Means freedom expanding
While we sit believing television
Like children believing Santa

Animals press weary faces
Against farmhouse windows
Speckled in shit
Unable to tell pig from man
We press our faces
Against blue screens
Unable to tell
Democracy from auction
Representation from performance
New boss from old boss

In hairy darkness beyond the barn
Something moves
Heavy hooves on gravel
Breathing that refuses to break
Boxer's eyes gleam, In shadow
Boxer's eyes gleam, In shadow
Boxer's eyes gleam, Boxer's eyes gleam
Boxer's eyes gleam, In shadow

Animal Farm

SoundCloud Album Description:

Step into Tangerine Blues — a smoke-filled confession through ten songs that ache, shimmer, and seduce.
A soulful, dreamy, indie-pop odyssey for late nights and lonely hearts, this album drips with jazz nostalgia and psychedelic color — where love burns slow, pain wears pearls, and heartbreak sounds beautiful.

From the smoky blues of “Silk and Nicotine” to the bittersweet glow of “Tangerine Blues” and the cinematic solitude of “Cherry Moon Motel,” every track is a story written in lipstick, gin, and velvet regret.
It’s Amy Winehouse meets Lana Del Rey in a haze of candlelight and neon — lush vocals, vintage grooves, and confessional lyrics that linger like perfume in an empty room.

💋 Light a cigarette. Pour a glass. Hit play.
Because sometimes love doesn’t heal — it just sounds divine.
