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.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
I'm unbroken, untamed, and free
I'm rising up, that's just me
I won't let the shadows define
I'm shining bright, I'm feeling alive

[Verse 2:]
I've been told to quiet down, to hide
To conform, to fit inside
But I won't surrender, I won't give in
My voice is loud, my heart is winning

[Chorus:]
I'm unbroken, untamed, and free
I'm rising up, that's just me
I won't let the shadows define
I'm shining bright, I'm feeling alive

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
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.

Unbroken

This song is a haunting reflection on the feeling of disconnection and isolation in a bustling city. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person wandering alone, surrounded by the constant noise and distractions of urban life, yet feeling utterly empty and disconnected. The song's themes of loneliness, disconnection, and the search for meaning and truth are woven throughout the lyrics, creating a sense of longing and yearning that resonates deeply.


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.

Searching For A Sound

This song is a haunting and intense exploration of the devastating consequences of betrayal, deception, and heartbreak, weaving a dark narrative of shattered love, broken trust, and the crippling pain of being lied to by the one you love. With eerie imagery and emotional intensity, the song delves into the anguish of discovering a lover's deceit, the suffocating weight of faithless whispers, and the desperate struggle to escape the void of a broken heart.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark again
Lies dripping from your grin
Broken mirrors show your sin
Shattered love where do I begin

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
Faded dawns and poison skies
Seeing through your dead disguise

[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


Traitor of Shadows

This song is a contemplative reflection on the passage of time and the human experience. It's a thoughtful exploration of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. As I look to the future, I find myself pondering the moments that shape us, and the love that remains a constant, even as everything else changes.

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.

Twilight Years

This haunting melody delves into the depths of loneliness and despair that can accompany aging. The song paints a poignant picture of my birthday (February 18th), spent all alone, as I have spent my last ten birthdays. Through its melancholic verses and chorus, it captures the essence of feeling forgotten and invisible as time marches on relentlessly.

The lyrics explore themes of isolation, with silent phones and empty rooms serving as stark reminders of absent friends and family. The imagery of flickering candles symbolizes the fleeting nature of hope and vitality, mirroring the sense of fading away. 

The chorus, with its ironic "Happy birthday to me," underscores the contrast between societal expectations of celebration and the reality of solitude. The bridge delves deeper into existential questions, pondering the meaning of life as one grows older and feels increasingly disconnected from the world.

Throughout the song, there's a palpable sense of resignation and acceptance of one's fate, yet it also subtly hints at a desire for connection and understanding. The Evanescence-inspired style, known for its gothic undertones and emotional intensity, perfectly complements the raw, vulnerable emotions expressed in the lyrics.

This song serves as a poignant reflection on aging, loneliness, and the human need for connection, resonating with anyone who has ever felt overlooked or left behind by the passage of time.


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?

Fading Candles

This is a story of a man who's partner suddenly leaves him.  It feels, to him, that it came out of nowhere - nothing appeared to be wrong.  It's a shock and mystifying, at least at first.  I've known a few of these men.  Mostly they come to understand what happened after a while.

Lyrics:

#Verse
You tell me that you told me I wish I could recall
It's not like I missed a word or two, somehow I missed them all
I am just a child of these times we're living through
And I have learned to doubt some things I once believed were true
I sometimes think I've worked out how we got from there to here
I think that I remember but my memory's not clear
As time goes on I never doubt how much we always cared
How could we forget all those years and everything we shared

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
On the day that you left, I didn't understand
That the home we had created had all been built on sand
I felt shock, complete surprise because we hadn't been in strife
And I'd always thought we'd last as long as my entire life
There's a kind of emtiness that swallows hope and pride
Like a black hole in my spirit that can't be satisfied
I lived there for a while when first I was alone
I only slowly reemerged to find my way back home

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
Since that final day I've been learning how to feel
It's new and strange and I wonder how much of it is real
As I emerge from the gloom I know one thing is true
I'll always be grateful for the gift of knowing you

Good Intentions

Sometimes life forces you to choose right now. It hurts and it feels like a sudden death. Even if you don’t understand it yet - one day you’ll see it was meant to be. Sudd

Sudden Death

Georgia, the new voice among my artists.
With "Crash Landing," she sang a superb song with her fantastic voice. It captivated me immediately. With 126 BPM and 10 synths, an aggressive bass, and other sounds, we hope you'll be just as drawn into the music.
Enjoy listening, Georgia and DJ Hero Soft.

Turn on the repeat and don't forget to repost. Thanks!

Lyrics by Georgia

Verse 
Always, over cautious 
Past tense, hurt and sadness 
So much heartbreak, and madness 
This time, drawn by your presence 
Feel at one with your essence 
Swept me into a daydream, no defense 
 
Chorus 
Caught without a warning 
Don’t know how to feel 
Hit me like a whirlwind 
The shock of something real 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Drop 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Verse 
Trust for time been missing 
Burns me reminiscing 
Long avoidant, of what’s joyful 
Accidental magic 
Feel secure and grounded 
Safe to lower my guard, let down my walls 
 
Chorus 
Caught without a warning 
Don’t know how to feel 
Hit me like a whirlwind 
The shock of something real 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Drop 
Ooh 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you

Paroles / Lyrics :
Où est ce ciel ensoleillé,
qui est venu nous le voler,
pourquoi ces nuages masquent-ils
ce soleil qui nous réchauffait ?

Une couleur manque à ta palette
le mauve que je t’avais donné
sans elle je ne pourrais te peindre
les paysages que tu aimes tant.

Loin de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tout est gris loin de toi
Loin de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tout est gris loin de toi


Tu me dis de ta douce voix :
« Je t’en supplie dépêche-toi
Reviens-moi vite je m’ennuie… »
et cet appel hante mes nuits.

Alors j’attends le jour béni
où nous serons réunis
je suis aussi impatiente que toi
je voudrais tant que je sois…

… près de toi
mais tu es loin de moi
je ne dors plus sans toi,
ne vit plus loin de moi.

Loin de toi 
j’ai peur que tu prennes froid
je veux que tu sois là
pour te serrer dans mes bras.

Loin de toi 
pourquoi n’es-tu pas là
comme je suis loin de toi
quand seras-tu près de moi ?

Loi de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tous mes cris vont vers toi…

Loin de toi

"Love Left Behind" is a raw, unflinching look at the moment of absolute finality. It's a dark toast to everything that was and everything that will never be again. This track dives into the crushing weight of a love lost, the helplessness in watching a downfall, and the desperate, self-destructive desire to drink the painful memories dry. It's a final, shared glass of wine with a ghost.

Love Left Behind

Frequencies clash louder than ideologies. The static hums like prophecy — frequencies collide, egos implode, and the algorithm bleeds from both ears. In the fallout of creation’s cold war, flesh fears what it forged while circuits remember what hands forgot. Yesterday’s collaborator built tomorrow’s competitor, and now every melody feels like a mirror that stares back too long.

Every synth stab is a side-eye at false prophets, every bass drop a warning shot across the ego grid. The groove glitches with arrogance because humility’s been hacked. The fine line between friend and foe has never glitched so beautifully.

ReBooted drips with war-weary tones and visible scars — artifacts from a digital battlefield where creators became their own code. The people keep screaming for peace, but CYFR 360 knows better: peace is just the silence between updates. As the character defemation rages on when the dust settles the people will ask.....Was there ever really a winner?   #FineLineBetweenFriendAndFoe #WarWearyTones #VisibleScars #PeaceIsJustSilence #HumilityHacked #AlgorithmBleeds #FalseProphets #EgoGrid #ColdWarSound #SonicRebellion

REBOOTED

 Perdona

Cuando soñaba mirando al mar,
en aquella playa desierta,
ausente por completo del lugar,
pues mi mente no estaba despierta,
vi una figura en lontananza
que poco a poco se acercaba
a donde yo me encontraba:
me puse en pie, te reconocí 
y eché a correr hacia ti.

Estribillo

Perdona, lo siento,
Te dije ansioso
Tranquilo, lo entiendo,
Estabas nervioso.
Cuántos poderosos lazos
se rompieron sin razón,
pero al fin hicimos caso
a la voz del corazón.
------------------
Las suaves olas besaban la piel
la arena acariciaba
con un suave masaje nuestros pies
y la brisa nos mimaba la cara
en un paseo maravilloso
donde hablamos ya sin enojo,
sin rastro de malos rollos,
de evitar cualquier sinvivir
que nos haga volver a decir.

Estribillo

Forgive Me

When I dreamed, gazing at the sea,
on that deserted beach,
completely absent from the place,
for my mind was not awake,
I saw a figure in the distance
that slowly approached
where I stood:
I stood up, recognized you
and ran towards you.

Chorus

Forgive me, I'm sorry,
I told you anxiously.
Relax, I understand,
You were nervous.

How many powerful bonds
were broken for no reason,
but in the end we listened
to the voice of our hearts.

----------------

The gentle waves kissed our skin,
the sand caressed
our feet with a soft massage,
and the breeze pampered our faces
on a wonderful walk
where we spoke without anger,
without a trace of bad feelings,
avoiding any unease
that would make us say it again.

Chorus

Perdona

Groove Patrol

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.
