Music from game „Clockwork Island“ by Nozomu Games: https://nozomu57.itch.io/clockwork-island

Clockwork Island (Main theme)

This is a song, a metaphor, about the danger fed to society by too consuming much Internet, in all of its forms.  Don't walk into the muddy waters too deep.

---

It started on a very cold night; uptight. 
Her friend said that she's ok, just so tired.
Things went awry online, in a short space of time, 
senseless reasons that she took her own life.

There was this guy who was ok, mentally.
Before the the Internet took him away,
now most people he knows don't want to hear what he knows,
this is how it goes, unfortunately.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Big tech guru watching the harm his invention has on society.
Yet he forges on, fanning the flames, 
making it worse instead of better; indifferent to the pain,
anything to make some gains. 

Solo.

It can be a dangerous water that we don't want to swim in.   
If you step in, you can't see who will bite back.
Each drown out the next until you can't hear a thing.  
All it takes is for you to believe their spin.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Muddy Waters

Just a Play

"Hunger" is a searing post-punk manifesto that transforms societal outrage into raw sonic energy. The track builds around a relentless bass line and sharp, angular guitar work that perfectly complements its unflinching examination of food insecurity in a world of abundance.

The verses paint a stark portrait of food bank reality—fluorescent-lit desperation where "lives are reduced to logistics" and "dignity slips further away." When the chorus hits with its haunting refrain "In the shadow of plenty, we stand in line," minimal synth textures swell beneath increasingly urgent vocals that build from controlled tension to righteous anger.

Midway through, the instrumentation breaks into chaotic, distorted territory as the lyrics shift from observation to accusation, calling out systemic failures with undisguised contempt. The track's climactic final section features multiple vocal layers that create a chorus of dissent, with the repeated mantra "Food is for everybody, not just for the rich" delivered with punk ferocity over increasingly frenzied percussion.

"Hunger" stands in the tradition of politically charged post-punk pioneers like Gang of Four and The Pop Group while incorporating modern production techniques that give its message immediate, visceral impact. A powerful statement on inequality that refuses to look away from uncomfortable truths.

Hunger

lyrics:
Acid vision
Missing notion
Hellish motivation
Blood boils from passion
Shattered from my action
Lysergic flesh as contemplation
We should torment our nation
Blades raining over the brain
Covering the globe my blood stain
Damaged attitude, we inflict pain
We smash it harder on disdain
'Cus hell's closer than heaven
Distorting realities, I'm insane
Havoc never ceases, this is my thing

After thinking about this for a little while I finally had an epiphany, women ain't the reason we drink but they are the reason we drink too much. Now that wasn't so hard to figure out was it?
 Here are the lyrics:

You drifted off to sleep another night of digging in deep 
it's not your fault don't take it so hard
 she never liked the friends you keep,

Women ain't the reason we drink,
But they are the reason we drink too much, 
let me come back home I promise I'll do better next time,

I'll try not to let the booze affect my mind
 I'll do better next time 
women ain't the reason we drink
 but they sure the hell are the reason we drink too much

Don't believe me don't deceive me 
don't make it your mission to relieve me 
of my love for a half gallon of Jack

Women ain't the reason we drink 
but they the reason we get caught up in the wind and Blown Away 
it's our only Escape

You drifted off to sleep don't take it so hard, she never liked the friends you keep

women ain't the reason we drink
but they are the reason we drink too much

let me come back home I promise I'll do better next time
I've been trying not to let your views affect my mind, I'll do better next time

Women ain't the reason we drink but they are the reason we drink too much let me open up my mind so you can find...  the train I drink too much, maybe you'll understand this time...

Women ain't the reason we drink (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Jake Angel)

Lyrics:
Steady your hand, hold it out in front of you
Palm down, open wide, keep it still
Steady, steady like a rock

Fill the lungs, hold it in, don’t let it out
Oxygen is life, oxygen is life
Without it slip away

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Getting reps in, keep a mental count, the turns
Generally speaking, random mark
Pump it out, turning over rocks

Over under, beat the odds on favorite
Carrying the bag, subjective satisfaction
I feel satisfied

In the presence of certain company
Discretion opposite honesty
Find the right moment and then lay it out
Save the hurtfulness for next time

In the presence of certain company
Save the hurtfulness for next time

Discretion Opposite Honesty
