This song is a haunting and introspective exploration of the darker aspects of human nature and relationships. The lyrics weave a narrative of lost love, broken promises, and the devastating consequences of succumbing to darkness and despair. 

Through vivid imagery and metaphors, the song paints a picture of a world where truth and hope are elusive, and the shadows of doubt and fear creep in. The chorus drives home the theme of falling back into old patterns of behavior, trapped in a maze of echoes and broken promises. 

The song's atmospheric and emotive soundscapes evoke a sense of longing and desperation, as she grapples with the shattered remains of love and trust. The overall mood is one of melancholy and introspection, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of heartbreak and darkness.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Shadows creep beneath our dawn
Whispered lies where truth had flown
Heartbeats pound in jagged tone
Lost the light I thought was known 

[Chorus]
You fall back to your darkened ways
Echoes twist in haunted maze
Promises are ghostly haze
You fall back break love's embrace 

[Verse 2]
Eyes that once held cosmic spark
Now just mirrors to the dark
Broken vows under the ark
Soul's drift far we’ve missed the mark 

[Bridge]
Chains of doubt they start to cling
Every lie a shattered wing
Silent screams in stillness ring
Faith and trust a shattered thing 

[Chorus]
You fall back to your darkened ways
Echoes twist in haunted maze
Promises are ghostly haze
You fall back break love's embrace 

[Verse 3]
Crimson tears on porcelain skin
Battles fought you can not win
All the scars drawn deep within
Empty void where hope had been 



Eclipse of Despair

👑BobbybPhoolan (Bringing that passion and power )

I’ve been in love with music my whole life, but for the past three years, I stopped just listening and started speaking through it. Every verse I write comes from a real place… pain, power, truth, and the grind that shaped me.

I don’t box myself in. I pull from everywhere , Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, even a little Country. If it hits the soul, I’m with it. Music don’t care about your age, who you love, or where you came from, and neither do I.

This is more than a hobby… it’s my release, my voice, my rebellion.
If something I say hits you in the chest , then yeah, I did my job.
Welcome to MY story. 📖

Let’s make it timeless.
Let’s make it real.

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.

To all those who have followed me during my journey into EDM Production, Thank you. There is more to come. Stay tuned.

I have discovered and am experimenting with Suno AI. I find it offers a lot of great ways to express myself.

Keeping the beat going!

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
