My Social Justice songs

Fridays

When I first thought about writing songs for Columbus Day, I felt conflicted. I’m part Italian and part American Indian, among other nationalities. As a kid, I learned about Columbus in school and felt proud of my Italian heritage. But as I grew older, I also learned more about how Indigenous peoples were treated, and now I honor and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead.

That left me with mixed emotions — torn between pride and pain, history and truth. So I decided to write three songs: one to celebrate Columbus Day in a traditional way, one that acknowledges both sides of the controversy, and one to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Together, this playlist reflects my journey of holding space for both sides of history while still celebrating heritage and resilience.

I hope my fans will understand my position — this isn’t about choosing one story over another, but about recognizing them both, and giving them each a voice in music.

My Columbus Day & Indigenous Peoples’ Day Songs

This song is my passionate protest anthem, voicing my pain and frustration at feeling betrayed by my country's choices. I'm expressing my disillusionment with the system and longing for change. The lyrics reflect my beliefs and values, urging listeners to rise up and demand justice in the face of oppression. 

The song's message is universal, echoing the sentiments of iconic protest songs like "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday and "Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan. These classics have inspired generations to stand against injustice, and my song continues this tradition. 

In my lyrics, I question how decent hearts could stray so far from empathy and righteousness. I condemn the harm inflicted by flawed leadership and the concealment of conscience. My song is a call to action, demanding accountability and integrity from those in power. 

Through my music, I aim to inspire others to join me in seeking justice, equality, and truth.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
A nation betrayed, by votes so blind
A criminal in power, justice left behind
The people have spoken, but at what cost?
Integrity lost, as shame is tossed 

[Chorus]
Rise up, voice your pain
America, how could you sustain?
A leader so flawed, with crimes untold
Justice demanded, but votes grew cold 

[Verse 2]
Decent hearts, where did you stray?
Voting for evil, every step of the way
What happened to empathy and right?
Did lies and hate become your guiding light? 

[Chorus]
Rise up, voice your pain
America, how could you sustain?
A leader so flawed, with crimes untold
Justice demanded, but votes grew cold 

[Bridge]
Some say they didn't believe the allegations
Others claim his policies mattered more than his personal life
But can't you see, this man's a threat?
To justice, equality, and all that's just and right? 

[Verse 3]
The damage is done, the harm is real
A nation divided, hearts that conceal
Their conscience asleep, as wrongs unfold
Accountability, lost in the cold 

[Chorus]
Rise up, voice your pain
America, how could you sustain?
A leader so flawed, with crimes untold
Justice demanded, but votes grew cold 

[Outro]
What's wrong with you people, can't you see?
A criminal in the White House, a threat to you and me
How can decent people vote for shame?
Have we lost our moral compass, our hearts to blame?

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Dark whispers echo through the night sky
Love's ghost haunting every sigh
Shadowed roses wilt with time
Bleeding hearts in moonlight chime

[Verse 2]
Crimson tears on petals fall
Shattered memories we recall
Candles flicker in the gloom
Valentine’s a hollow room

[Chorus]
But in this dark we find our truth
Haunted love of broken youth
Fading whispers we embrace
In the night our souls find grace

[Verse 3]
Silent screams in empty halls
Passion's ghost within us crawls
Twisted echoes of a smile
Love's been gone a long
Long while

[Bridge]
Moonlight dances on the graves
Of the promises we gave
Eternal rest for shattered dreams
Silence flows like midnight streams

[Verse 4]
Bleeding hearts on twisted vines
Feel the rush of lost confines
In the darkness
Find the key
To the love that sets us free

Got a box of heart-shaped treats
Tastes sweet but my heart beats
Crushing on my couch tonight
Kissing chocolate that's not right

[Chorus]
Love stinks like old gym socks
But I adore this candy box
Cupid missed his aim so bad
So I munch and yeah I'm glad

Movie marathon self-care
Romance flicks a solo affair
Got PJs on and some wine
Single life is mighty fine

Love stinks like old gym socks
But I adore this candy box
Cupid missed his aim so bad
So I munch and yeah I'm glad

[Bridge]
Valentine you're just a stupid myth
I'd rather binge watch my favorite flicks
Real love maybe you're a ghost
Pass the snacks let's make a toast

[Verse 3]
Gave myself some roses too
Laugh alone but it's still cool
On a date with my pet hawk
No need for any small talk

[Outro]
Now the night is winding down
The candy's gone, the movie's drowned
I'll toss the roses, recycle the wine
But I'll savor the solo love that's mine

[Bridge]
Valentine you're just a stupid myth
I'd rather binge watch my favorite flicks
Real love maybe you're a ghost
Pass the snacks let's make a toast

Gave myself some roses too
Laugh alone but it's still cool
On a date with my pet hawk
No need for any small talk

I'll toss the roses, recycle the wine
But I'll savor the solo love that's mine

This love's electric feels so right
Dance with me through the wild night

I wrote this song after Adam Lambert tweeted an article about Trump's latest hateful acts... https://shorturl.at/Hf9lA
It makes me sick how he is trying to rewrite history. I wrote two versions of this song. This one is for the LGBTQ communities' allies to sing together loud and proud. And the other is for them.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
We see the erasure, the silencing of names
Transgender pioneers, who fought for rights and claimed
Their place in history, their voices loud and clear
We'll stand with them, and hold their truth dear 

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll amplify their voices, we'll shine a light on the way
We'll fight for their rights, every single day
We'll stand against the hate, against the fear and the pain
We'll be allies, and we'll never waver or stray

We'll be your allies, through the dark of night
We'll hold your hand, through every test
We'll stand with you, and we'll never rest

Trans women of color, led the charge, and paved the way before
Their bravery, their resilience, in the face of hate and fear
We'll honor their legacy, and we'll hold it dear 

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll amplify their voices, we'll shine a light on the way
We'll fight for their rights, every single day
We'll stand against the hate, against the fear and the pain
We'll be allies, and we'll never waver or stray 

[Chorus]
We'll stand with you, through every fight
We'll be your allies, through the dark of night
We'll hold your hand, through every test
We'll stand with you, and we'll never rest 

[Verse 3]
Trump's orders, a blatant attack, on their very existence
A war on their identities, a war on their resistance
But we'll stand strong, we'll stand proud
We'll fight for their rights, and we'll never back down 

[Bridge]
We'll stand with our friends, we'll stand with our community
We'll fight for a world, where everyone is free to be
Themselves, without fear, without shame
A world where love is love, and everyone's got a name 

[Chorus]
We'll stand with you, through every fight
We'll be your allies, through the dark of night
We'll hold your hand, through every test
We'll stand with you, and we'll never rest

So let our voices be clear, let our hearts be true
We'll stand with you, and we'll see this journey through.

with their lies and their deceit
They're gonna ruin this country, 
and we can't afford to repeat

They're destroying our world, as they watch us die
Rising prices, jobs lost and gone
They're fucking up our country, all for their own

They're destroying our world, as they watch us die
Rising prices, jobs lost and gone

Burning bridges with a careless flame
Tearing down walls but not the shame
Words like knives cut to the core
Breaking the country we all adore 

[Verse 2]
Lips move fast but truth runs slow
We're spinning in circles where shadows grow
Towers built on fragile sand
While we’re left clenching broken hands

Burning bridges with a careless flame
Tearing down walls but not the shame
Words like knives cut to the core
Breaking the country we all adore

You can't lead a heart without the trust
Blindfolded dreams won't find the sun
You can’t stop the fight that's just begun

Tearing down walls but not the shame
Words like knives cut to the core
Breaking the country we all adore

Can you imagine
This world without me
Could you imagine
What this world could be 

[Verse 4]
With all your love
With all your dreams
I am the air
And you are the trees

One love
I am the planet you live on
One love
And you're my little children
One love

I'm not your god
I'm not your mom
I'm not the one you should be hatin' on
I'm not the one you should be hatin' on


One Love

This song is about the frustrations and betrayals that artists face in the digital age, particularly with music streaming platforms like SoundCloud. I was recently hit hard when my total play count suddenly dropped by half, with hundreds of plays vanishing from each song seemingly overnight. I've heard about three other artists that have had this happen to them as well.  It was a stark reminder of the lack of control and transparency artists have over their own work. The lyrics highlight the issues of transparency and fairness in counting streams and paying royalties, and how these systems can be manipulated to the detriment of the artists. It's a call to action, demanding justice and fairness for creators, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in the way our work is valued and compensated. 

This song is a protest against SoundCloud's exploitation of artists and a plea for a more equitable system that respects the value of our work. 

Let me know with a comment, if this has happened to you as well. I emailed SC but never received a reply as usual. 😡


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, numbers fade
A silent theft, a hidden shade
Hundreds of thousands, a count so fine
Now halved in an instant, left to decline 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 2]
Months of silence, a meager pay
A measly amount, for a lifetime's sway
The system's broken, the trust is worn
As the counts are manipulated, and the truth is torn 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 3]
SoundCloud's ledger, a dishonest page
Where our hard work's worth is rewritten in their stage
The fire that burns, within our hearts
Is fueled by passion, and a work of art 

[Bridge]
We're not just numbers, we're not just plays
We're the heartbeat, of a creative way
We're the voices, that speak to the soul
Don't silence us, don't take control 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, your name is tied to shame
There should be justice, a reckoning to claim
Artists demand, a fair and honest share
You should do right by us, show you care.



Fractured Counts

This song is a powerful tribute to Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. The lyrics weave together themes of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a more just world, drawing on historical references and personal reflections. The song's message is one of unity and empowerment, urging listeners to lift their voices and continue the fight for truth and love.


LYRICS; 

[Intro]
I did not walk the fields.
I did not carry the chains.
But I see the marks they left.
And I will not turn away.
This day is not mine to claim—
But it is mine to honor.
So I stand… with open hands,
To learn, to lift, to listen.

[Verse 1]
June nineteenth, the chains were broken,
Texas heard the trumpet sound.
From the fields, a truth was spoken—
"Let the lost be truly found."
Hope had burned through generations,
Now it blazed with sacred light.
Freedom’s song and revelation
Woke the dawn from darkest night.

[Pre-Chorus]
We stand beside the ones who came,
Lifting high their rightful name.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

This is not just history.
It’s breath.
It’s blood.
It’s names I never knew—
But owe.
It’s freedom declared… and still chased.
And I?
I carry no torch.
But I will guard its flame.

[Verse 2]
Fields of sorrow, rivers weeping,
Stories carved in blood and stone.
Through the grief, a flame was keeping
Hope alive that’s now full-grown.
Marching forward, bound together,
Chains behind and stars ahead,
We remember now, and ever,
Every word the martyrs said.

[Pre-Chorus ]
We honor those who lit the way,
And walk beside them still today.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

I see you.
Not as shadows of a struggle,
But as the light that broke through it.
You are not a chapter—
You are the authors.
And I will not rewrite the story.
I will echo it.
Amplify it.
Protect it.

[Verse 3]
Now we learn the deeper meaning
Of a freedom hard and won—
Not just ink in books we're reading,
But a fire that lights the sun.
Every march and every trial,
Every name that’s held with care—
Builds a world where peace and justice
Answer every fervent prayer.

[Bridge]
We remember every story,
Speak the names with sacred pride.
Truth and love will write the glory
That no hatred can divide.

[Final Chorus]
Still you rise, still we stand,
Side by side, and hand in hand.
Marching on through every storm,
In this truth, we are transformed.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

[Outro]
I will not claim your crown.
But I will walk behind your banner.
And as long as justice has a song—
I will sing it.
Not for me…
But with you.

Still You Rise (Juneteenth Anthem)

Germany’s Invexis comes back to the Manchester-based Scrap & Delete label with the ‘Morphium’ EP, arriving 19th September 2025. The four tracks follow up his remix for label founder Dorbachov’s ‘Ellesmere Street’ EP earlier in 2025, which won support from Luke Slater, Jako Jako, Dave Clarke, and more. Title track ‘Morphium’ opens the EP in unexpected territory: an emotive, melodic crossover track that retains Invexis’ mechanical backbone while reaching for something more transcendent. With soaring synth layers and expertly balanced weight, it’s a rare euphoric moment in his catalogue; one destined to erupt across festival tents. ‘Nordic Noise’ pulls things back into colder, rawer terrain, a frostbitten slab of functional minimalism with raw textures, fizzing hi-hats, and relentless groove cycles. ‘Instinct’ channels classic loop techno through a modern lens, driven by restless percussion and syncopated punch. Finally, ‘RS’ pays tribute to late- ‘90s groove science with complex, kinetic motion and heads-down intensity, reimagined for a new generation of warehouse punters. Invexis is a producer and live act who first made his mark in the early 2000s with a string of influential vinyl releases and, since then, has released on labels like Mutual Rhythm, South Signature Records, and ANAØH. His raw, driving sound gives his music a timeless, textural quality. After a long hiatus, he re-emerged in 2022 with productions that channel the grit of his early work, once again pushing forward-thinking techno rooted in underground ideals.

This song came from my conflicted feelings about Columbus Day. Growing up, I learned about Christopher Columbus in school and felt proud of my Italian heritage. But as I got older, I came to understand the other side of history — the voices of Indigenous peoples, (also part of my heritage) who were here long before 1492, and the harm they endured. This song tries to balance both perspectives: it celebrates the courage and determination of Columbus, but also questions the cost, asking us to honor the truth behind the holiday.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
On Columbus Day, the banners fly,
Parades through New York, music fills the sky.
Italian pride, a journey bold,
A sailor’s tale from centuries old.

[Chorus]
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Chasing fate and destiny.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Verse 2]
San Francisco cheers with pride today,
Heritage floats in a bright display.
He crossed the ocean with faith and might,
But shadows follow in the morning light.

[Chorus]
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Chasing fate and destiny.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Bridge]
Was he the first, or just one more,
When Leif and nations walked before?
To honor the past, we must see it all,
Both the rise and the painful fall.

[Verse 3]
Since Roosevelt’s time, the day’s been named,
A federal holiday proclaimed.
Yet some will march a different way,
Choosing Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

[Final Chorus]
Columbus Day, the drums still play,
Voices rise in their own way.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Outro]
Raise the flags, but remember too,
The ones who were here before 1492.

Columbus Day

This song is my way of paying tribute to Indigenous peoples — their history, their traditions, and their resilience. The heartbeat drums, the imagery of mountains and rivers, and the spirit of voices rising together all come from a place of respect. It’s about remembering that this land has always had stories, songs, and wisdom long before Columbus, and that those voices deserve to be heard and honored today.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Long before the sails were seen,
This was home, this was a dream.
Rivers carried songs of old,
Stories stronger than the gold. 

[Chorus]
Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we rise,
Voices echo through the skies.
Honoring roots that still remain,
Through the struggle, through the pain. 

[Verse 2]
Drums still beat, the fires still glow,
Wisdom passed in what we know.
Lands and spirits, sacred ground,
In every heartbeat, they are found. 

[Chorus]
Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we rise,
Voices echo through the skies.
Honoring roots that still remain,
Through the struggle, through the pain. 

[Bridge]
Carried forward, truth survives,
Ancient strength that still guides lives.
Not forgotten, not erased,
Living nations hold their place. 

[Verse 3]
From the mountains to the plains,
Endless courage still sustains.
Every language, every song,
Tells us we’ve been here all along. 

[Final Chorus]
Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we rise,
Hope and memory in our eyes.
Honoring roots that still remain,
Through the struggle, through the pain. 

[Outro]
On this day, the world will see,
Your spirit lives eternally.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day

This one is my take on a traditional Columbus Day song — a bright, celebratory anthem that focuses only on Columbus’s journey and the pride many still feel in honoring his role in history. It’s festive, march-like, and designed to feel like something you’d hear at a parade, with flags waving and music filling the air. While my other songs address the controversy and honor Indigenous voices, this one is purely about heritage and history as it’s traditionally been celebrated.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
On the morning tide, the sails were high,
Three ships set out ‘neath the endless sky.
Dreams of a world beyond the blue,
Columbus led, and the journey grew. 

[Pre-Chorus]
With courage burning bright,
Guided by the stars at night. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Verse 2]
Through storms and seas, the voyage pressed,
A sailor’s heart put to the test.
New horizons came in view,
The promise of a world brand new. 

[Pre-Chorus]
With courage burning bright,
Guided by the stars at night. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Verse 3]
The parades march proud, the flags held high,
Music and voices fill the sky.
Heritage honored, stories told,
A holiday cherished, brave and bold. 

[Bridge]
Raise the sails, the voyage starts,
A legacy that stirs our hearts.
On this day, the people say,
We honor proud Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Outro]
With sails of hope and hearts so free,
We honor this day in history

Sailing Into History (Columbus Day)

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.
