Inspired by a once-good friend's passion for punk music, I dove headfirst into the genre and discovered a shared spirit of rebellion and social commentary. This playlist is my interpretation of punk's energetic and unapologetic vibe, tackling themes of resistance, freedom, and self-expression. 

The playlist kicks off with 15 of my punk-infused originals, which I wrote especially for that friend, including the first song "Boots and Braces" which we wrote the lyrics for together. Those songs will be followed by some of my already existing songs that resonate with her punk sensibilities. My goal is to create a playlist that not only has songs that she loves but that honors the punk tradition and also speaks to everyone else who loves punk music. Also, for anyone who's ever felt like challenging the status quo. 

Join us on this sonic rebellion, and let's raise our voices together! 

*EDIT:
Erin and I are no longer friends. So I edited this list to begin with songs that I want Erin to hear. So the punk songs have been moved down the list a little. I will fix this list to include only punk songs once Erin hears the newer songs that I made especially for her. Please bear with me. 

The punk songs begin with Boot's & Braces

Vicstix's Stardom

R3Zondo

"Stand For Them" is a heartfelt, stirring anthem dedicated to animal welfare and the fight against animal cruelty. The song shines a light on the struggles of abused and neglected animals, with poignant lyrics that tug at the heartstrings.

The verse paints vivid pictures of suffering, while the soaring chorus declares a resolute commitment to action, vowing to be a voice for the voiceless. The bridge rallies listeners to stand united for justice, compassion, and empathy.

This song was actually inspired after reading a post on X by a singer/songwriter that I highly admire and respect.  Lynn Carey Saylor posted a video of a poor defensless dog left tied to a pole on I-75 as Hurricane Milton approached.

After being completely appalled by that video, I wrote this song to stand up for all abused animals out there.  


LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
In darkened shelters, or alone in the night
Tied to fences, or fleeing from fright
Innocent paws, and helpless eyes
Crying out for mercy, and a loving surprise

[Chorus:]
But we won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Verse 2:]
From puppy mills to abandoned streets
Victims of cruelty, their trust retreats
But we'll be their refuge, their guiding hand
Leading them to safety, across this broken land

[Chorus:]
We won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Bridge:]
We'll stand united, a collective cry
For justice, compassion, and a world that tries
To protect and serve, with empathy and love
For every creature, sent from above

[Chorus:]
We won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Outro:]
Their unbroken spirit, a flame that remains
A testament to love's enduring refrains
We'll amplify their voice, until it's heard
For every abused soul, we'll be the cure.

Silent screams, souls are aching
Why do we fear what we don't know?

Love will rise, it will shine
Underneath the skin, we're all divine

My heart beats strong, sent from above
Love will rise, it will shine
Underneath the skin, we're all divine 

[Verse 3]
Who'll you stand with when love is the test?
Who'll you defend when hate's the guest?
We'll rise together, hand in hand
Love's pulse beats strong, across this land 

[Chorus]
I am human, I am love
My heart beats strong, sent from above
Love will rise, it will shine
Underneath the skin, we're all divine

Hands up if you're alive
Hands up if you believe in love's light
Love will rise, it will shine
Underneath the skin, we're all divine

This song is a powerful and emotional journey of overcoming the negative influences of others and breaking free from the past. With haunting lyrics and a soaring chorus, the song delves into themes of emotional pain, trauma, and manipulation but ultimately emerges as a triumphant declaration of resilience, empowerment, and transformation. The song's message is one of hope and liberation, urging listeners to reclaim their identity and power, and to rise above the shadows of their past.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Fading whispers in the dark
Shifting shadows leave their mark
Eyes behind me always stare
Tangled webs, they set the snare 

[Chorus]
Backtrackers crawling through my past
Chasing echoes that won’t last
Cut the ropes unbind my soul
Let their lies consume the toll 

[Verse 2]
Fingers trace where wounds still seep
Buried secrets never sleep
Every step I take
They creep
Building towers made of grief 

[Bridge]
Knives they sharpen
Words they throw
Dragging back what I let go
I’ll ignite the trails they tread
Bleed the sky and paint it red 

[Chorus]
Backtrackers crawling through my past
Chasing echoes that won’t last
Cut the ropes unbind my soul
Let their lies consume the toll 

[Verse 3]
Scars may blister, but I’ve grown
Holding fire all my own
Let the backtrackers decay
In the ruin of their prey

[Chorus]
Backtrackers crawling through my past
Chasing echoes that won’t last
Cut the ropes unbind my soul
Let their lies consume the toll

Backtrackers

This song is a deeply personal and emotional expression of the pain and confusion that can come with the breakdown of a close friendship. Inspired by a tumultuous relationship with my own best friend, the lyrics capture the hurt and betrayal that occurs when someone you trust and rely on turns against you. 

The song delves into the complexities of depression and the desperate need for support and understanding. But instead of finding solace, I was met with rejection, blame, and written verbal attacks. The lyrics convey the emotional whiplash that comes with being hurt by someone you love and the struggle to make sense of mixed messages and contradictory emotions. 

Through this song, I aim to process the pain and come to terms with the loss of a friendship that once meant the world to me. The song is a message to my former friend, a reflection on what we had, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of heartbreak and betrayal.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]  
You were my light in the darkest skies,  
But now your words cut deep, I can't deny.  
You call me cruel, though I’ve done no wrong,  
Your sorrow drowns me in its endless song.  

[Chorus]  
Why do you push me away, then pull me near?  Your broken cries echo, but I’m drowning in fear.  
I gave you my heart, but you tore it apart,  
Now I’m lost in the shadows where love departs.  

[Verse 2]  
You paint yourself as the one betrayed,  
While I stand bleeding from the games you played.  
Your loneliness a weapon you wield so well,  
Dragging me into your personal hell.  

[Chorus]  
Why do you push me away, then pull me near?  Your broken cries echo, but I’m drowning in fear.  
I gave you my heart, but you tore it apart,  
Now I’m lost in the shadows where love departs.  

[Verse 3]  
I tried to hold on to what we had before,  
But every word you speak slams another door.  
The mirror shows a stranger where my friend should be,  
A shattered reflection of what we used to see.  

[Chorus]  
Why do you push me away, then pull me near? 
Your broken cries echo, but I’m drowning in fear.  
I gave you my heart, but you tore it apart,  
Now I’m lost in the shadows where love departs.  

[Bridge]  
I won’t let your darkness consume my light,  
This battle of blame isn’t worth the fight.  
I’ll rise from the ashes of what’s been burned,  
And find a love that’s truly earned.  

[Outro]  
Goodbye to the pain and the endless strife,  
I’ll reclaim my soul and rebuild my life.  
In the silence of loss, I’ll learn to breathe,  
And leave behind the wounds that made me grieve.

Shattered Reflection

This song is a haunting and emotional journey through the depths of inner turmoil and desperation, heavily influenced by the atmospheric and introspective soundscapes of Evanescence. I drew inspiration from their iconic style, even borrowing and reworking a few of my favorite lines from their songs to create something unique and personal. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a love that's real and a deep desire to break free from the darkness and find the way back to oneself. With its soaring vocals and cinematic instrumentation, this song is a poignant exploration of the human experience, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its emotional depths.


LYRICS: 

[Verse] 
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there 

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there 

[Chorus]
Can you hear the silence screaming?
The emptiness that's echoing and dreaming
Of a love that's real, of a heart that beats
But mine is frozen, locked in defeat
Until you find the key to set me free 

[Bridge]
Maybe in the darkness, there's a light
A beacon calling, guiding me through the night
Maybe I'll find my way, maybe I'll be free
Maybe I'll learn to love, to live, to be me 

[Outro]
Wake me from this endless night
And I'll rise, I'll shine, I'll ignite
The fire that's been burning deep inside
And I'll find my way, I'll be alive.


Wake Me Up Inside

This song is a reflection on the nature of love, spirituality, and the human experience. I'm drawn to the idea that there's a deeper wisdom and understanding that can be gained from embracing a sense of childlike wonder and openness to the world around us. The lyrics explore the notion that angels, or perhaps a higher power, can teach us about the true meaning of love, and that this love is often lost on us until it's too late. The song is a meditation on the importance of being present, aware, and receptive to the mysteries of life, and allowing ourselves to be guided by a sense of faith and trust. It's an invitation to slow down, listen, and let love in.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Who will stand in this desert
A childlike wonder for
Love the pure of heart
The wise will never know
Who will see in this wasteland
The mysteries unfold
All the wonder of
Our eyes wide open
What angels teach us love 

[Chorus]
If only we had known
If only we had seen
Before it passed us by
The hand of God
Angels teach us love
If only we had known
If only we had seen
Before it passed us by
The hand of God
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love 

[Verse 2]
Who will hear in the silence
The heartbeat of the world
All the wonder of
Our ears wide open
What angels teach us love
[Verse]
Who will reach for the sun
The power of a dream
The burning flame of
Our hands wide open
What angels teach us love 

[Chorus]
If only we had known
If only we had seen
Before it passed us by
The hand of God
Angels teach us love
If only we had known
If only we had seen
Before it passed us by
The hand of God
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love
What angels teach us love

Angels Teach Us Love

This song is about the internal struggles we all face, the battles we fight within ourselves every day. It's about the voices that try to define us, the expectations that weigh us down, and the monsters that lurk in the shadows of our minds. For me, it's a reflection of the constant fight to stay ahead of the darkness, to keep moving forward even when it feels like the world is pushing back. The song is a raw expression of the turmoil and the resilience that comes with navigating the complexities of our own minds.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
A lot of people wanna tell me who I am
But they don't understand
They've never seen me
They don't know me like I do
I'm my own closest friend
And we're never alone
No 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the monster in the basement
I see the fire in its eyes
And every time I think I made it
I take another step
And I'm in another fight

I know the monster in the basement
I see the fire in its eyes
And every time I think I made it
I take another step
And I'm in another fight 

[Chorus]
Every time I take a step
I'm in another fight
In another fight

Every time I take a step
I'm in another fight
In another fight

[Verse 2]
All these voices
They keep telling me to go
And leave the monsters alone
But I'm addicted
To playing with fire
Getting burned
It's a game I can't control
And I'm losing my mind 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the monster in the basement
I see the fire in its eyes
And every time I think I made it
I take another step
And I'm in another fight

I know the monster in the basement
I see the fire in its eyes
And every time I think I made it
I take another step
And I'm in another fight 

[Chorus]
Every time I take a step
I'm in another fight
In another fight

Every time I take a step
I'm in another fight
In another fight


Basement Monster

This song is a raw and brutal expose of a once great (or so I thought) friendship that turned toxic and sour. The lyrics describe how Erin, who I thought was a kind and supportive friend, revealed her true nature, manipulating and gaslighting me with cruel accusations and lies. She projected her own flaws onto me, and when I called out her behavior, she attacked me even further. The song is a powerful expression of my anger, hurt, and ultimate liberation from the toxic relationship. I'm unflinchingly honest about the pain and betrayal I felt, and the lyrics make it clear that I'm done with her toxic behavior. This song is my way of processing the experience and moving on from the trauma she inflicted on me.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There will not be a third time. 


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
You wore the mask of kindness, played the perfect friend
A shoulder, a savior—then you snapped in the end
Accused me of your damage, threw me in the flame
Projected every wound while screaming my name 

I stayed silent, held my breath
Watched your kindness turn to death
Of every bond I thought was real
You crushed it all beneath your heel 

[Pre-Chorus]
You tore my name with poisoned lies
Gaslit truth behind your cries 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Verse 2]
You said the meds made you cold
That it wasn't you who lost control
But once the mask slid off again
You fed me venom like a friend 

Twisted tales to shared allies
Then blamed me for your own disguise
Truth was never yours to keep
Just buried where your guilt runs deep 

[Pre-Chorus]
You tore my name with poisoned lies
Gaslit truth behind your cries 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Verse 3]
You swore you cared, but used me twice
A cycle wrapped in sugar and ice
Said you were broken, bruised, undone
But I’m the wreck left when you’re gone 

You called me cruel for feeling pain
Spit on my name, then played insane
But I won’t bleed to soothe your storm
I’m done with monsters in reform 

[Bridge]
Now I see you clear, through the rot and flame
Not a friend, just a ghost with someone else’s name
I grieve the girl I thought I knew
But this nightmare? I’m through with you 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Outro]
No more tears, no more lies
I watch the imposter die
And though I walk alone again—
At least I walk free from your venom


Imposter in Her Skin

This song started as a reflection on the conversations I've had with my friend @DJShAnkAri about our mothers and how they would distort the truth to make themselves the heroes. It's about the blurred lines between truth and fiction and the devastating consequences of living a lie. 

As I was writing the lyrics, I found it was also exactly like my ex-friend Erin as well. Since it's also about the brutal exposure of toxic dynamics, where someone's mask of innocence is shattered, revealing the truth behind their actions. 

For me, it's personal - it's about our mothers, but also about Erin who turned on me, projecting her own flaws onto me, and then rewriting the narrative to fit her own twisted version of reality. But it's also about something deeper - the way people can convince themselves of their own lies and the damage that does to themselves and others. 

This song is my truth, my anger, and my refusal to let the lies stand. It's a call out to anyone who's been hurt by someone's deceit and a reminder that the truth will always find a way to the surface.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
You speak like a martyr wrapped in grace
But I remember the blood on your face
Twisting the tale with a trembling smile
You burned the truth to survive the trial 

Shadows curl where the silence grew
You wear the mask like it’s always been true
But I was there when the sky went black
Your hands pushed first — there’s no turning back 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Verse 2]
Pages smudged where the guilt should be
The ink runs cold, but you still can't see
Your voice shakes with a hollow cry
Begging for peace while you crucify 

Was it too dark to face the light?
Or did you choose to forget the night?
Memory fades, but pain holds on
And I’m still here when the curtains are gone 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Bridge]
Do you sleep with the ghosts you made?
Does your mind rewind or just evade?
Is it your soul that can’t confess
Or a shattered mind in self-defense? 

[Verse 3]
Mirror cracked but still reflects
The hero born of your regrets
But I see the scars beneath the veil
The silence where you chose to fail 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Verse 4]
I traced your footprints through the flame
Each step a curse, each lie a name
You built your truth from fractured glass
But every shard still cuts the past 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Outro]
The silence screams where your shadow passed
Every promise burned, never meant to last
Ashes of hope in the wind remain
Echoes of love now twisted with pain
Whispers fade in the ruins you made
But memories rot where the truth decayed
You called it healing, I call it a crime
But you can't outrun the veil of the mind


Veil of the Mind

This song is a raw and intense reflection of my experience with Erin, a friend who turned out to be toxic and manipulative. The lyrics describe how she wore a mask of kindness, but beneath it, she was cruel and deceitful. She hurt me with poisonous words, played the victim, and twisted the truth. When I called out her behavior, she attacked me further and even tried to enlist a mutual friend to validate her false accusations. That friend saw the truth and also ended her friendship with Erin. This song is my way of processing the pain and betrayal I felt, and ultimately finding the strength to break free from the toxic dynamic. The music is dark, emotive, and haunting, with a focus on capturing the anger and hurt I felt. Through this song, I'm taking back control and rising above the pain, refusing to be fooled or manipulated any further.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There will not be a third time. 


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
In the mirror's gaze, a reflection lies
A facade of friendship, a disguise 

[Verse 1]
I thought you were my shelter, my guiding light
But behind the mask, a monster took flight
Poisonous words, a venomous sting
You turned on me, and my heart took wing 

[Pre-Chorus]
You wore a cloak of kindness, but beneath the surface
Lurked a demon, fueled by malice and force
You played the victim, twisted the truth
But I saw through the lies, when the mask fell off, showing your uncouth 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Verse 2]
You apologized, with tears and regret
But the damage was done, the wound won't forget
You blamed it on pills, a temporary slip
But the pattern remained, a toxic grip 

[Pre-Chorus]
You wore a cloak of kindness, but beneath the surface
Lurked a demon, fueled by malice and force
You played the victim, twisted the truth
But I saw through the lies, when the mask fell off, showing your uncouth 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Bridge]
I'm done with the pain, done with the lies
I'm breaking free from the chains that bind
I'll rise up from the ashes, like a phoenix born
I'll find my strength, and I won't be torn 

[Verse 3]
You showed your true face, and it was cold
A stranger's eyes, a heart of gold turned old
You tried to manipulate, to twist and to blame
But I won't be fooled, I won't play the game 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Outro]
I'm free from the chains, I'm free from the pain
I'll find my way, I'll rise again
No more shadows, no more lies
I'll shine my light, and I'll survive.


A Lesson Learned

This song is about uncertainty and questioning, set against a backdrop of otherworldly forces that disrupt our reality. For me, it's a reflection on the idea that we're being visited by beings from another world, who claim to bring new knowledge and perspectives - "new ways" that challenge our understanding of the universe and ourselves. The lyrics touch on the mystery and intrigue of this encounter, with the repetition of "Who What Why Where When" becoming a kind of desperate plea for answers. The song has a sense of tension and curiosity, with a driving rhythm that propels the questions forward. It's an exploration of the unknown and the possibility that our world is about to be forever changed by these extraterrestrial guides. The ambiguity of the lyrics leaves room for interpretation, but for me, it's a dark, atmospheric journey into the heart of the unknown.

This song is a raw and emotional portrayal of living with inner demons, feeling trapped in a world that's suffocating, and struggling to find the strength to keep going. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of desperation, pain, and the will to survive despite the darkness. It's a powerful exploration of the human experience, and I think many people will find pieces of themselves in the emotions and themes expressed in this song. VickStiX

[Verse 1]
I live in hell
And I'm not feeling well
It's a big empty room
And I'm locked in a cell

[Verse 2]
The fire is burning
I am screaming and yearning
I am burning alive
But my stomach is turning

[Verse 3]
It's not really bad
It's not really bad
It's not really bad
It's not really bad

[Verse 4]
They tell me to give up
But I will not give up
I just have to stay strong
I will never give up

[Bridge]
I'll find my way out
Through the darkness and doubt
I'll rise above the pain
And find my way to sanity again

[Verse 5]
It's not really bad
It's not really that bad
Maybe it's just a test
Of my inner strength and best

[Outro]
Maybe someday I'll be free
From this hell that's tormenting me
Until then, I'll hold on tight
To the hope that shines like a light.

VickStiX - Welcome to my hell (ShAnkAri touch)

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.

HUMAN HEART
 
[Verse 1]
 
How did you know it was Over
What was the tipping point
When did you know you could live without me
When did you stop
When did you stop
 
[Verse 2]
And then there were two
And then there was one
One less you
And then I was done
 
[Chorus]
My heart is still beating
My heart is still beating
My heart is still beating
 
[Verse 3]
Where did you go
Who were you with
Where did you sleep
Where did you live
Where did you live
 
[Verse 4]
Why do I know that you're gone
When did you leave
How did you go on
What do you mean
What do you mean
 
[Chorus]
My heart is still beating
My heart is still beating
My heart is still beating

Tired Too

Notte senza stelle
In questa notte buia, neanche una stella,  
cammino in silenzio, solo con me stesso.  
Avrei bisogno di un caffè nero, bollente. 
ma casa è lontana e le serrande sono abbassate.
Ho le note dentro la testa,  
penso solo al mio jazz,  
alla mia compagna di una vita,  
l'unica che mi segue ovunque vada.
Così trovo ispirazioni,  
nella notte buia,  
così scrivo le mie canzoni.  
A volte di fantasia,  
ma spesso, molto spesso, della vita mia.
Ho le note in testa,  
penso solo al mio jazz,  
alla mia compagna di una vita,  
l'unica che suona il mio blues.

Scrivo di amori belli, di quelli perduti,  
degli amici di sempre, di quelli che verranno,  
delle mie ferite, dei miei successi,  
ai fischi, a chi mi vuole bene,  
per i miei dischi, scrivo di me, di te, di noi.

Notte senza stelle

TITLE: FLICKER SWITCH LOVE
_________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

Verse 1)
He walks in with a spark in his stride
Got that grin that lights up the night
A whisper low sends shivers down my spine
Then he drops a line that kills the vibe in no time

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo

(Verse 2)
His laugh is gold it’s a melody sweet
But his words trip over like clumsy feet
Sparks fly high but then they fall like rain
It’s a rollercoaster driving me insane

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo

(Bridge)
You're a puzzle with a missing piece
A song that ends before the release
You start the fire then let it freeze
Leaving me hanging in a cold breeze

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo
Flicker Switch Love
Choose This Version
(Verse 3)
You light the fire then you let it die
You spark a smile then wave goodbye
You’re the storm and the calm all in one
You start the race then decide you’re done

(Chorus)
Flicker switch love oh what’s your game
On and off you drive me insane

Turn Me On Just To Turn Me Off

Flicker Switch Love

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, for 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 with 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'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
