My REAL Top 101 to 200 Tracks

Verse 1:
We used to laugh, we used to cry
But now I'm left to wonder why
You all disappeared, without a fight
Left me drowning in this darkest night

Chorus:
You call yourself friends, but where are you now?
When I need you most, you're nowhere to be found
I'm lost and alone, in this endless pain
You've abandoned me, like a burden you can't sustain

Verse 2:
I tried to reach out, but you turned away
Afraid of my demons, you couldn't stay
You said I'd changed, that I'm not the same
But you never tried to understand my shame

Chorus:
You call yourself friends, but where are you now?
When I need you most, you're nowhere to be found
I'm lost and alone, in this endless pain
You've abandoned me, like a burden you can't sustain

Bridge:
Maybe I'm too much, maybe I'm too broken
But a true friend would try to unspoken
The words I need to hear, the hand I need to hold
But you're all gone, and I'm left to grow old

Chorus:
You call yourself friends, but where are you now?
When I need you most, you're nowhere to be found
I'm lost and alone, in this endless pain
You've abandoned me, like a burden you can't sustain

Outro:
So I'll lay here, in this emptiness
A shadow of what I used to be, I guess
And I'll wonder why, you all gave up on me
And left me to face, this misery.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the silence of the night, shadows creep,
Whispers of a heart that's lost, and deep,
A child’s tears fall, like rain on the ground,
Inside these walls, where no love is found.

Echoes of pain, scars etched on my soul, 
This troubled heart never feels whole.

[Chorus]
Scream for the voiceless, the cries unheard,
Lost in the chaos, no solace, no word,
Fight through the nightmares, reclaim what is right,
Stand up in the shadows, bring truth to the light.

[Verse 2]
Behind closed doors, where darkness resides,
A broken spirit, where innocence hides,
Anger burns like a flame, fierce and wild,
Each bruise a reminder of the lost child.

Fury roars, can’t hold it inside,
Trapped in a battle, where hope has died.

[Chorus]
Scream for the voiceless, the cries unheard,
Lost in the chaos, no solace, no word,
Fight through the nightmares, reclaim what is right,
Stand up in the shadows, bring truth to the light.

[Outro]
Rise from the ashes, let the past bleed,
A heart still beating, but forever freed.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the shadows where you stand alone,
With your fortress built from stubborn stone,
You carry burdens, heavy on your back,
But inside you know, you're starting to crack.

Reach out a hand, it’s not a crime,

[Chorus]
So come on, friend, let me in,
You don’t have to do this all on your own,
A little help can lead to great wins,
In unity, our strength is fully grown.

[Verse 2]
Every wall you built, so tall and tight,
Keeps the warmth away, and dims your light,
Just take a breath, let go of the fight,
It’s strength to ask, it’s okay to feel light.

Together we rise, it’s true power,

[Chorus]
So come on, friend, let me in,
You don’t have to do this all on your own,
A little help can lead to great wins,
In unity, our strength is fully grown.

[Outro]
So when you’re down, remember this call,
Asking for help, it’s not weakness at all.

[Verse 1]
In the shadows where they play,

Little feet upon the floor,  
Monsters' eyes, they want more. 

Beneath the bed, hear their growl,  
Waiting for me to take a bow.

Under my bed, they wait for night,  
Silent screams, too scared to fight,

In the dark, there's no way back.

Under my bed, they wait for night,  
Silent screams, too scared to fight,

Frozen in fear, I lie awake,
Monsters' playground, my heart shakes.

The darkness pulses, alive and strong,
Monsters' realm, where I belong.

Under my bed, they wait for night,
Silent screams, too scared to fight,
Dread is clutching, fear's the guest,
Monsters rise, they know me best. 

[Repeat Verse 3]
Shadows dance upon the wall,
Echoes of forgotten calls,
Footsteps fade, the darkness grows,
Monsters' whispers, my heart knows.

Echoes of forgotten calls,
Footsteps fade, the darkness grows,
Monsters' whispers, my heart knows.

A haunting whisper, beyond them all,
A chilling reminder, I'm not free,
Monsters under my bed, eternally.

I've been broken, battered and worn
Tried to fit in, but never belonged
They said I'm too much, too loud, too bold
But I won't apologize, I'm taking control

To conform, to fit inside
But I won't surrender, I won't give in

I'm rising up, that's just me
I won't let the shadows define
I'm shining bright, I'm feeling alive

We're all imperfect, we're all the same
We're fighting battles, we're bearing the pain
But we can rise above, we can break the chains
And find our strength, our beauty, our shame

We're unbroken, untamed, and free
We're rising up, that's just me
We won't let the shadows define
We're shining bright, we're feeling alive

[Outro:]
I'm unbroken, and I won't hide
My scars are shining, they're my pride
I'm standing tall, I'm standing loud
I'm unbroken, and I'm proud.

[Verse 1]
I feel the echoes of a love that's long gone,

From scars on my skin to wounds deep inside,
Every chance that I take, I just seem to collide.
Got me questioning life, all that I’ve known

Why does love come with a price that I pay?
When will the darkness just fade into day?
I’m seeking the light, but it ends in a blur,
Lonely and scared, do I even deserve?

Each face is a mirror, reflecting my fears,
I’m trapped in this cycle, lost count of the years.
Still haunted by moments of trust that I've lent,
Wondering if love was a path I was meant.
Maybe it’s fate, or maybe it’s me?

Why does love come with a price that I pay?
When will the darkness just fade into day?
I’m seeking the light, but it ends in a blur,
Lonely and scared, do I even deserve? 

[Outro]
Twenty years later, I’m still on my own.
Love's just a ghost that I've never known.

A prisoner of doubt, where darkness makes me whole

Vines of doubt, they creep inside my mind
A silent assassin, that I've learned to hide
The weight of my fears, is crushing me down
Vines of doubt, are they my greatest enemy, or my crown?

Do I push, do I pull, or do I sit and hide?
Do I leap, do I crawl, or do I step aside?

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the city's endless hum, I wander alone
A stranger in the crowd, with no place to call home
The lights that line the street, they whisper my name
But in the silence, I hear only the echoes of pain 

[Chorus]
Oh, the emptiness that surrounds, it's a hollow sound
A million voices, but no one's found
The words that we're searching for, they're lost in the air
And in the silence, we're left with nothing to share 

[Verse 2]
We're chasing the ghosts of our past, trying to find our way
But the streets that we're walking on, they lead us astray
We're searching for a truth that's real, but it's hard to find
In the noise of the city, it's a silence that's left behind 

[Chorus]
Oh, the emptiness that surrounds, it's a hollow sound
A million voices, but no one's found
The words that we're searching for, they're lost in the air
And in the silence, we're left with nothing to share 

[Bridge]
Maybe in the darkness, we'll find a spark
A light that will guide us, through the emptiness and the dark
Maybe in the silence, we'll hear a voice
A whisper that will lead us, to a brand new choice 

[Chorus]
Oh, the emptiness that surrounds, it's a hollow sound
A million voices, but no one's found
The words that we're searching for, they're lost in the air
And in the silence, we're left with nothing to share 

[Outro]
In the city's endless hum, I'll wander alone
Searching for a truth that's real, a silence that's my own.

Whispers in the dark again
Lies dripping from your grin
Broken mirrors show your sin
Shattered love where do I begin

Footsteps in a haunted hall
Echoes of a lover’s fall
Truths I never heard at all
Heartbeats turn to ghostly calls

[Chorus]
You’re a traitor of shadows and dreams
Silent screams tearing at the seams
Faithless whispers rip me apart
Falling into the void of your heart

Empty words in a hollow night
Promises turn into fright
Cold deceit no hope in sight
Lost in the never-ending fight

[Bridge]
Candles flicker ghosts arise
Drowning in a sea of lies

Seeing through your dead disguise

Silent screams tearing at the seams
Faithless whispers rip me apart
Falling into the void of your heart

Echoes of emotions, forever whole
In the harmony of heart and mind

For in the silence, they remain
A symphony of love, a heart that still sustains.

Whispers in shadows scream to the void
Heartbeats echo yet they are destroyed
Loneliness in a crowded room
Drowned by silence
Left to gloom

Eyes like ghosts that fade away
Words unspoken
Got nothin' to say
Walls closing in
Suffocation's near
Eyes burning with unshed tears

[Chorus]
Silent echoes
Call my name
Ignored
Forgotten
In endless shame
Break the silence
Hear my cry
In darkness
Where angels die

[Verse 3]
Mirrors shatter in my mind
Lost reflection
Hard to find
Noise around me
No one hears
Drowning fears
Hiding tears

[Bridge]
Voices muted
Screams are hushed
In this silence
Dreams are crushed
Begging
Pleading
Unheard plea
Won't someone
Someone see me

[Chorus]
Silent echoes
Call my name
Ignored
Forgotten
In endless shame
Break the silence
Hear my cry
In darkness
Where angels die

Where Angels Die

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the mirror's gaze, I see a stranger's face
A reflection worn, by time and endless space
The lines that crease my skin, tell stories of their own
Of laughter, tears, and love, that's been and gone

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Verse 2]
Memories haunt me, like a ghostly refrain
Echoes of a love, that's lost, yet remains
The fire that once burned, now a smoldering ember
A reminder of the passion, that's slowly surrendering

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Bridge]
Maybe in the darkness, I'll find a peaceful place
Where the weight of time, is lifted from my face
And though my body weakens, my heart remains the same
I'll hold on to love, and never let it fade

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Outro]
In the silence, I'll find my way
To a place where love, will forever stay
And though I'm fading, my heart will remain
A flame that burns, in the darkness, forever sustained.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
Another year slips away
Shadows lengthen, hair turns gray
Another birthday, a milestone passed
Memories fade, nothing lasts

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Verse 2:]
Silent phone, empty room
No one calls to break the gloom
Friends and family, where are you?
Another day I'll muddle through

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Bridge:]
Time marches on, relentless, cold
I'm left behind as I grow old
Is this all there is to be?
A fading soul, no longer free

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Outro:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long
Just like me, were do I belong?

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Lost in the darkness, I'm searching for light
A never-ending nightmare, haunting my sight
Can't sleep, can't wake up, I'm drowning in pain
A prisoner of my mind, forever in chains 

[Chorus]
I'm going under, suffocating slow
A slave to these dreams, that I'll never let go
Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?
Trapped in the fog, where shadows proceed 

[Verse 2:]
Fear is a poison, that infects my soul
A constant reminder, of the darkness I hold
I try to escape, but it pulls me back down
A never-ending cycle, of this endless frown 

[Chorus]
I'm going under, suffocating slow
A slave to these dreams, that I'll never let go
Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?
Trapped in the fog, where shadows proceed 

[Bridge]
It's true, we're all a little insane
Fear is only in our minds, a toxic refrain
But what if I'm lost, and can't find my way?
Will I forever roam, in this endless gray? 

[Chorus:]
I'm going under, suffocating slow
A slave to these dreams, that I'll never let go
Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?
Trapped in the fog, where shadows proceed 

[Outro]
I'm fading away, into the night
A whisper of hope, in this desperate fight
But the darkness whispers, "You'll never be free"
And I'm trapped, forever, in this misery.

Last Resort (2020)

Better Without You

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.
