Dax - Depression

My 2nd Album "From A Man's Perspective" is out now everywhere...

Dax - Place Of Peace

(Intro – Slow, Reflective, Trying to Keep Control)

I wanna believe in the pain I don’t feel,
Numb to the weight, but I know it’s real.
The night’s too cold, and I’m tired of alone,
Tryna rebuild but I tear down my home.

I wanna give my all, no pills, no highs,
No conspiracy talk, no neon lies.
No more tickets, no speeding through days,
Just tryna slow down, escape from the maze.

Tired of running, tired of doubt,
Tired of screaming just to drown myself out.
Round and round, yeah, I know this game,
Every new start ends the same.


---

(The Shift – The Struggle Begins, The Voice Starts Turning)

Eight weeks high, I’m a god on the throne,
Twelve weeks later, I’m skin and bone.
Telling myself that I’m stronger today,
But I feel like a ghost just fading away.

I restock my guilt, restock my pain,
Stack up regrets till they call me insane.
I sit in my tower, I build up my walls,
But the cracks in the stone start taking their toll.

Every hand that held me, I turned to dust,
Every voice that loved me, I shattered in rust.
Not ‘cause I wanted, not ‘cause I tried,
But the illness inside makes a home of the lie.


---

(The Spiral – Advice Turns to Accusation, The Inner Critic Takes Over)

Look at yourself, tell me you’re proud,
Look in the mirror, say it out loud.
Oh wait, you can’t? Yeah, I knew that’s the case,
You still see the wreckage behind every face.

Maybe they love you, maybe they don’t,
Maybe they stayed, but you know that they won’t.
Maybe they tried, but you pushed ‘em away,
Maybe you break everything that should stay.

You matter? HA! Who told you that lie?
Who keeps pretending you’re meant to survive?
You ruin, you wreck, you twist and betray,
You touch something good, then you throw it away.


---

(The Full Breakdown – The Mind is Spiraling, Self-Destruction in Overdrive)

Faster, louder, I can’t slow down,
Spinning the wheel till I burn in the ground.
Smiling outside but I’m screaming within,
Running from hell but I let the flames in.

Crash, burn, rise, repeat,
Another good thing left dead at my feet.
Look at the past, look at the wreck,
Nothing but names I’ll never forget.

What if they’re right? What if it’s me?
What if I’m locked in a fate I can’t flee?
What if I’m broken beyond any fix?
What if I drown in the weight of this?


---

(The Sudden Stop – The Collapse, The Aftermath, The Small Glimmer of Hope)

Wait... I’m still here? Damn… thought I’d be gone,
Thought that the weight would’ve pulled me along.
Guess I’m still fightin’, guess I don’t quit,
Guess there’s still something inside that won’t split.

Maybe I matter, maybe I don’t,
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll pick up the phone.
Maybe the cycle don’t have to repeat,
Maybe one day, I’ll stand on my feet.

(Final line, nearly whispered, the last shred of hope.)
Maybe it’s never too late…

Restock My Pain

A name so close, yet not the same,
No thread of fate, no rightful claim.
Only now, the veil is thin,
Angels whisper, shadows grin.

A prayer rose up, the winds replied,
A voice beyond, yet deep inside.
Where are dragons? Scales of light?
Ancient echoes burning bright.

They called me shaman, called me guide,
A walker where the spirits hide.
Like a healer, tending flame,
Mending wounds, unbinding shame.

But no—don’t touch what won’t be healed,
A soul unready stays concealed.
Your presence bends, the current shifts,
The wounded heart resists the rift.

I have walked the echoes deep,
Where Melody’s voice still dares to weep.
A father’s weight, a fractured thread,
Not Dustin’s ghost, but one misled.

Spinning, turning, time unwinds,
The body breaks, the soul confines.
Still aware, yet bound in pain,
A river runs but holds no name.

To rot within, to fade below,
Yet fire stirs where embers glow.
No angels come, no hand extends,
Yet spirit sings where silence ends.

And in the ashes, not alone,
The last house burns, yet paths are shown.
A name reclaimed, a voice set free,
Shaman Solace—eternally.

"Shaman Solace: Between the Veil" is a song about navigating the unseen realms, where spirits, memories, and echoes of the past intertwine. It speaks of transformation, of feeling lost yet guided by ancestral whispers. The song touches on trauma, the burden of past lives, and the role of a shaman as both a healer and a witness to suffering. It explores the loneliness of spiritual awareness, the struggle of self-acceptance, and the unseen forces that shape our fate. Through pain, fire, and resilience, the soul finds solace and a path to truth.

Between The Veil

[Verse 1]
If you see this, won’t you find me?
By the station, near the square?
I’ve been lost in all my sorrow,
Searching for a light out there.

[Verse 2]
Oh, I miss you, do you hear me?
Shaye, I’ve fallen far from grace.
Took a path I should have never,
Now I long for your embrace.

[Chorus]
Oh, I know I’ve made mistakes,
Shadowed days and hearts that break.
But if love can find its way,
Maybe hope is not too late.

[Verse 3]
I was reckless, blind, and foolish,
Let the darkness lead me in.
Should have known the cost of longing,
Should have seen where I had been.

[Verse 4]
I am not the man they whisper,
Not a villain, not a ghost.
I am just a soul that’s aching,
Trying to find what matters most.

[Chorus]
Oh, I know I’ve made mistakes,
Shadowed days and hearts that break.
But if love can find its way,
Maybe hope is not too late.

[Bridge]
If you give love, love will find you,
Kindness grows where kindness stays.
Let them hear me, let them see me,
Let them know I’ve lost my way.

[Final Verse]
If you see this, won’t you find me?
Take my hand and pull me through.
I can change if I have reason,
And my reason, love, is you.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, I know I’ve made mistakes,
Shadowed days and hearts that break.
But if love can find its way,
Maybe hope is not too late.


Song Meaning:

This song is a deeply emotional plea for redemption, love, and forgiveness. It tells the story of someone who has lost their way—perhaps through mistakes, recklessness, or personal struggles—and is desperately seeking a way back to the person they love. The lyrics express regret, longing, and a hope that love is still within reach, even after everything that has happened.

The name Shaye represents someone deeply important to the narrator, someone whose embrace symbolizes safety, acceptance, and a path to healing. The song explores themes of redemption, self-reflection, and the transformative power of love. It conveys the belief that no one is beyond saving and that kindness and love can lead someone back from darkness.

The chorus reinforces this message: while mistakes have been made, love can still "find its way," offering hope that it's not too late for change, reconciliation, and renewal.

The bridge acts as a pivotal moment of realization—acknowledging that love and kindness are guiding forces that can bring someone back to their true self. The final verse and chorus leave the listener with a sense of hope, vulnerability, and an open heart.

If You See This

A name so close, yet not the same,
No thread of fate, no rightful claim.

Ancient echoes burning bright.

They called me shaman, called me guide,
A walker where the spirits hide.

Mending wounds, unbinding shame.

But no—don’t touch what won’t be healed,
A soul unready stays concealed.

The wounded heart resists the rift.

I have walked the echoes deep,
Where Melody’s voice still dares to weep.
A father’s weight, a fractured thread,

Spinning, turning, time unwinds,

Yet spirit sings where silence ends.

And in the ashes, not alone,
The last house burns, yet paths are shown.
A name reclaimed, a voice set free,
Shaman Solace—eternally.

The Wanderer's Plea

Love is you

If you see this, won’t you find me,
By the station, near the square?
I have wandered lost in sorrow,
Chasing light that isn’t there.

Oh, I miss you—do you hear me?
I have fallen far from grace.
Took a path I should have never,
Now I long for your embrace.

Oh, I know I’ve made mistakes,
Shadowed days and hearts that break.
But if love can find its way,
Maybe hope is not too late.

I was reckless, blind, and foolish,
Let the darkness lead me in.
Should have known the cost of longing,
Should have seen where I had been.

I am not the one they whisper,
Not a villain, not a ghost.
I am just a soul that’s aching,
Trying to find what matters most.

Oh, I know I’ve made mistakes,
Shadowed days and hearts that break.
But if love can find its way,
Maybe hope is not too late.

If you give love, love will find you,
Kindness grows where kindness stays.
Let them hear me, let them see me,
Let them know I’ve lost my way.

If you see this, won’t you find me?
Take my hand and pull me through.
I can change if I have reason,
And my reason, love, is you.

"Love, Is You" is a heartfelt plea for redemption and reconnection. The lyrics tell the story of a person who has lost their way, making mistakes that led them far from the warmth of love. Now, filled with regret, they reach out in desperation, hoping that love can guide them back. The song expresses the idea that love is not just an emotion but a force that can heal, transform, and give purpose. It emphasizes that while the past cannot be changed, love has the power to shape a better future—if given a second chance.

The phrase "Love, is you" serves as both a confession and a realization: the person they seek, the one they long for, is the very embodiment of love itself.

Love is you

[Verse 1 – Voice A]
I drift like mist on shifting seas,
A wanderer bound by silent pleas.
The echoes call, yet fade away,
Lost in the hush of yesterday.

[Verse 2 – Voice B] (Overlapping softly, a ghostly echo)
I shape myself like shifting sand,
Yet love dissolves within my hand.
A fleeting ember, lost in air,
Burning bright, yet left nowhere.

[Verse 3 – Together, layered harmony]
I trace the stars with weary eyes, (A)
I walk in circles, trace the past, (B)
Seeking truth in shrouded skies. (A)
Each step I take—will it ever last? (B)

[Bridge – Voice A]
They speak of fate, of threads unseen,
Of tangled paths and might-have-beens.
Yet here I stand, my soul unchained,
Refusing steps already stained.

[Bridge – Voice B] (Softly interwoven, counter-melody)
They call it love, yet chains still bind,
Twisting the heart, distorting the mind.
To please, to bend, to fall in line,
Yet lose the self I swore was mine.

[Chorus – Unison, full harmony]
Is love a fire, wild and free? (A)
Or just a storm that swallows me? (A)
Is this a shadow, cast too long? (B)
A hollow beat in a broken song? (B)

[Post-Chorus – Call and Response]
No caged heart will find its flight. (A – first line)
No tethered soul can find its way. (B – response line)
Nor dawn be born in endless night. (A – following line)
If trapped inside a fading day. (B – answer line)

[Final Verse – Voice A]
So let me rise, let me roam,
A soul untethered, finding home.
For love is not a silent plea,
Nor chains that drown in memory.

[Final Verse – Voice B] (Interwoven in counterpoint melody)
So let me burn, let me rise,
A fire untamed beneath the skies.
For love is not a chain of stone,
Nor fear of being left alone.

[Outro – Together, fading into the horizon]
It’s not the weight of past regret— (A)
But finding the path that calls me back. (B)
It’s not the weight of all I lack— (B)
But where the open road is set. (A)


This song is about the struggle between love and self-identity—whether love is something that liberates or something that confines. The two voices in the song seem to represent contrasting but intertwined perspectives:

Voice A is searching for freedom, refusing to be weighed down by the past or expectations.

Voice B feels the burden of love’s expectations, questioning whether love can exist without losing oneself.


As the song progresses, both voices move toward empowerment, realizing that love should not be about chains, regret, or fear, but rather about growth, discovery, and unshackled passion.

The Wolverine's Grin

a mystical snowy forest at night, featuring a wolverine with glowing eyes and a hunter standing in understanding rather than aggression. Ethereal blue light filters through the trees, with ancestral spirits visible in the wind and snow.

"Wolverine’s Grin" is a song of truth and resilience, confronting deception and standing firm in ancestral wisdom. The Carcajou (Wolverine), a trickster, lurks in the shadows, twisting words, but truth cuts deeper than lies. Guided by spirits, wind, and fire, the protagonist walks with strength and clarity, unmoved by illusions. Dene and French verses honor Indigenous roots, while the chants and call-response outro symbolize victory—the Wolverine fades

(Chorus)
The winds blow strong, the night is dark,
I walk alone, but I know my spark.
The spirits see, they watch my soul,
Carcajou grins, but he's losin’ control.

(Verse 1)
Wolverine sneaks, creeping in the night,
Talks real slick, but his heart ain’t right.
Ancestors watch, they know his game,
Twisting words, but they burn in flame.

Eyes glow fierce, but the soul stays weak,
Truth cuts sharp, let the liars retreat.

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
I walk with pride, I see both sides,
Shadows move, but they can’t hide.
Carcajou’s fast, but my mind moves quicker,
Truth stands tall, my heart ain't bitter.

(Bridge)
No fear now, the beast will fade,
Ancestors walk, truth won’t break.

(Chorus - Chanted)
The winds blow strong, the fire knows,
Wolverine grins but he’s losin’ his hold.

(Outro - Chant & Call Response)
Ohhh… ohhh… ohhhh ayyy…
The winds have spoken… the fire knows…
The Wolverine’s grin… fades into night…
Truth stands firm… deception dies…

(Final Chant in Dene & French)
Wį́į̀ch’á síį gots’ǫ…
Ts’éhtíí yah ts’éhtíí…
Les vents parlent, la vérité danse,
Le mensonge s’efface, la lumière s’avance.

(Spoken Closing)
The rattles shake, then fall so still,
The Wolverine fades, the land will heal.
