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

This track is a raw, introspective anthem about the quiet rebellion of speaking your truth in a world that silences dissent through subtle pressures rather than outright force. It explores the tension between societal conformity and personal authenticity, using the metaphor of "whispering loud" to capture how genuine expression often feels muted but carries explosive, underground power. The song critiques the invisible chains of fear, peer judgment, and performative "free speech" that keep people from voicing unfiltered thoughts, while celebrating the resilience of those who persist anyway.
