another great piece that paints an ominous and scary picture of what it happening to our planet

Track 2 – Lithium Tears💧

(The Hidden Water Cost of the EV Revolution)

Electric cars may promise a greener tomorrow—but this song asks: at what cost?
“Lithium Tears” shines a stark light on the water-intensive underbelly of the EV industry, from Tesla’s shimmering gigafactories to the vanishing blue lakes of Chile and Bolivia. Beneath the buzzwords of “carbon-free” and “clean energy,” this track reveals a truth rarely discussed: the so-called green revolution is bleeding the earth dry, one battery at a time.

Set to a driving rhythm with mournful undertones, the song layers irony and heartbreak. It isn’t just a protest—it’s a requiem for the valleys, aquifers, and once-thriving fields now sacrificed for silent engines and showroom illusions.

Track 2 deepens the EP’s narrative with an unflinching look at the price of “progress”—paid for in lithium tears.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Desert sun on silver roofs, the gigafactories gleam
Tesla paints a picture of a cleaner, greener dream
But the wells are running empty where the metal rivers flow
Batteries drink the future, and the water never shows

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent pumps in shadow, turning earth to scars
Every mile of progress leaves a thirst among the stars

[Chorus]
Lithium tears in the desert rain
Drowning in the cost of a world we feign
We drive on hope while the rivers cry
Building a better future… as the valleys dry

[Verse 2]
Copper veins and lithium mines bleed the mountains dry
Bolivia and Chile whisper as the blue lakes die
Gigafactories blooming where the cotton fields once grew
A battery for every heartbeat, but the price is overdue

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent pumps in shadow, turning earth to scars
Every mile of progress leaves a thirst among the stars

[Chorus]
Lithium tears in the desert rain
Drowning in the cost of a world we feign
We drive on hope while the rivers cry
Building a better future… as the valleys dry

[Verse 3]
“Carbon free” is written on the shiny showroom floor
But the hidden debt in water is a flood we can’t ignore
Greenwashed dreams of freedom in a gleaming white car
A dry world bought and paid for, and we’ve already gone too far

[Bridge]
Under the surface, the truth won’t hide
Every drop taken leaves a canyon wide
And when the last spring fades to dust and rust
Will the engines stall… or leave us in the dust?

[Chorus]
Lithium tears in the desert rain
Drowning in the cost of a world we feign
We drive on hope while the rivers cry
Building a better future… as the valleys dry

[Outro]
The wheels keep spinning through the empty land
A thirsty planet slipping through our hands
Lithium tears fall where no one will see
The cost of “green” is a dead blue sea

Lithium Tears

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.
