Three Days Grace - Wake Up (slowed + reverb)

Thirst

"I Not a Monster" is an emotionally intense and atmospherically rich track that blends haunting melodies with cinematic sound design. It opens with brooding, ambient textures that immediately set a somber and reflective tone. Subtle piano motifs and swelling strings gradually build a sense of inner turmoil and vulnerability, while the minimalistic percussion adds a restrained but persistent sense of tension.

As the piece unfolds, layered instrumentation evokes a feeling of inner conflict and misunderstood identity—suggesting a narrative of someone struggling to reconcile how they’re perceived with who they truly are. The title "I Not a Monster" resonates deeply through the music, underscoring themes of isolation, empathy, and self-defense against unjust judgment.

This track would fit perfectly in a dramatic film or game soundtrack, particularly in scenes exploring character introspection, emotional revelation, or a turning point in the narrative.

Chains in my Throat

"The Weight You Set" is a visceral, thought-provoking anthem about the profound impact of individual responsibility and the power of one’s actions to shape the world. Through its aggressive rap-rock energy, blues-metal riffs, and psychedelic interludes, it conveys the urgency and weight of making choices that ripple outward, affecting others and defining the collective reality. The song urges listeners to wield their influence—through words, conduct, and moral clarity—with courage and reason, recognizing that the "tone of the world" is shaped by the weight each person sets. It’s a call to rise above chaos, cut through lies, and carry one’s burden with purpose to create a brighter, more truthful reality.
