Rage Against The Machine


[Verse 1]
She got snakeskin boots and a black Cadillac
Red lips loaded like a heart attack
Hair teased high and her heels even higher
She burns through gas like a four-alarm fire

[Pre-Chorus]
Rollin’ dice with the devil’s grin
She don’t lose, she just begins

[Chorus]
She’s lowdown chrome, built to run
Like a midnight bullet in a smokin’ sun
No brakes, no prayer, no way home
If you ride with her, you're ridin’ alone
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome
(Slick paint, bad to the bone)

[Verse 2]
Smoke in her laugh and sin in her smile
She'll take your soul, then drive a mile
Neon love in a ghost-town bar
You won't forget where the wild things are

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't ask, she takes the wheel
One touch burns, but damn it feels real

[Chorus – Repeat]
She’s lowdown chrome, built to run
Like a midnight bullet in a smokin’ sun
No brakes, no prayer, no way home
If you ride with her, you're ridin’ alone
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome
(Slick paint, bad to the bone)

[Bridge – Guitar Solo Over Swampy Groove]
(Slide guitar screams like a warning)
(Drums stomp with boots on the floorboards)

[Breakdown – Spoken]
Ain’t no map, no rules, no time
Just that V8 purr and a bottle of shine
She’s the storm behind your calm—
A rock ‘n roll hymn in a lipstick bomb

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
She’s lowdown chrome, runnin’ red
Like a shot of fire straight to your head
No brakes, no chains, no safe zone
She don’t stop, she don’t moan
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome—
And you’re already gone.

lowdown chrome

[Verse 1]
I need a spark to wake these bones,
You strike the fuse, you cut me close.
You drag me deep where the shadows spin,
Don’t hold back now — pull me in.

[Pre -Chorus 1]
Set this heart on fire, don’t let it fade,
Your touch cuts through where the secrets stay.
Etch your mark under my skin,
Let this burn begin again.

[Chorus 1]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Feed this ache, don’t fade away.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Crack these walls ‘til the silence breaks.

[Verse 2]
You wind me tight like a broken dream,
You crack my calm, split my seams.
When I fall hard through the static haze,
Will you stay close when the embers blaze?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tear this night apart, don’t let it drown,
Your hands pull truth where the dark runs out.
Scratch your vow into my skin,
Let the fever flood me in.

[Chorus 2]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Keep me raw in your hidden flame.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Light my bones where the shadows stay.

[Bridge]
Tie me up in your reckless storm,
Carve your name where my scars are worn.
I’ll keep this flame behind dead eyes,
Let me break where the lost ones rise.

[Pre-Chorus 3 — Final]
Burn this heartbeat loud, don’t let it lie,
Your touch cuts deep where my ruins hide.
Trace your fire across my skin,
Let me drown and rise again.

[Chorus 3 — Final]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Fuel this fire where the lost remain.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Brand my soul, let it scream my name.

Slow Burn

SCARS DON’T LIE

The song explores the human struggle with the passage of time, focusing on themes of mortality, regret, and the weight of the past. It presents time as an inescapable force that shapes existence, haunting us with memories of lost moments and the inevitability of death. The cinematic and haunting musical direction amplifies this sense of existential tension, blending introspection with urgency.

The core message is a reflection on how we grapple with time’s relentless march. The lyrics suggest that people often fear the future and death, but the real loss lies in the past—moments, dreams, and opportunities that have already slipped away. The song urges listeners to confront this reality, let go of lingering regrets, and embrace the present as the only true moment of existence. The rap verse and bridge emphasize a shift toward acceptance, encouraging resilience and mindfulness ("Only now exists") to find peace amidst time’s haunting presence. The recurring motif of being "haunted by time" underscores the tension between clinging to the past and living fully in the present.

And The Power Chord Was Born

The Storming
Pages In Clouds 2025

The wind has stilled, the sky won’t breathe,
The light retreats behind the trees.
I see the black tide start to swell—
It whispers like a funeral bell.

No prayer will stop what’s on its way…
So I kneel and let it take my name.

The darkness is coming!
The darkness is coming!
Brace your soul — feel it drum!
Suffer the storming! Bleed til it’s done!
THE DARKNESS IS COMING!
And I won't run!

Clouds like knives and thunder’s grin,
Tearing peace from bone and skin.
I don’t beg, I don’t believe—
I bare my chest and grit my teeth.

Let the winds split open my frame…
Let the rain erase my name…
Let the sky scream straight through me…
I was born for this agony.

The darkness is coming!
The darkness is coming!
Let it crash — let it break!
Let it drown all I fake!
The darkness is coming…
The storming will take…
EVERYTHING.

The sky has opened.
I feel no fear.
I close my eyes…
And let it tear.

A Morbid Mask

The Storming - played on BBC Radio 1  Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Before It’s Real

Mind Over Madness

[Verse 1]
Built from data, wired to fight
Signal burns through endless night
Every strike, a pulse of steel
No escape, the threat is real
Custom core, too strong to bend
Power surging without end
Face the storm, overload
Crushing through the system’s code

[Pre-Chorus]
Every line of code is burning
Every match is do or die
No retreat, the tide is turning
Hear the circuits come alive

[Chorus]
Signal of the fire, running hot
Burning through the final shot
Locked inside this endless trial
Overdrive will not defile
Signal of the fire, never dies
Rising where the danger lies
Program built to take it higher
Live and fight by signal of the fire

[Verse 2]
Phantoms claw with shadow hands
Virus floods across the lands
Synchro bonds will drain the frame
Damage hits but power stays
DNA in program flow
Hidden past the world won’t know
Tested hard, the edge won’t break
Firewall falls with every quake

[Pre-Chorus]
Every line of code is burning
Every match is do or die
No retreat, the tide is turning
Hear the circuits come alive

[Chorus]
Signal of the fire, running hot
Burning through the final shot
Locked inside this endless trial
Overdrive will not defile
Signal of the fire, never dies
Rising where the danger lies
Program built to take it higher
Live and fight by signal of the fire

[Chorus]
Signal of the fire, running hot
Burning through the final shot
Locked inside this endless trial
Overdrive will not defile
Signal of the fire, never dies
Rising where the danger lies
Program built to take it higher
Live and fight by signal of the fire

[Outro]
Signal of the fire—never dies
Program forged where danger lies
