Nova and the Stars ✨ - Johny Brito

no break🤧

“Broken Windows” explores the fragile moment of invincibility that exists just before everything falls apart. Blending urgent, upbeat emo breakdowns with a soaring, cathartic chorus, the track contrasts melodic optimism with destructive imagery: shattered glass, derelict cars, and emotional wreckage left in the aftermath. It’s a song about impact: physical, emotional, and inevitable.

With thundering riffs and pounding drums, “Black Pavement” leaves the song’s main character in a ‘To be or not to be moment’. After tragedy, what’s left for the survivors? Is there anything beyond this point in time? If no one bothered to care, is there even a point? Pleading emotional lyrics paired with fragile melodies in the song embody the ever-growing challenges of change throughout our lives.

The pair of singles continues .XOM’s growing reputation for pairing cinematic storytelling with raw vulnerability. Fans of emotionally driven alternative music will find “Broken Windows” and “Black Pavement” both explosive and intimate, channeling nostalgia, loss, and the reckless hope that often precedes disaster.

Released via Moxley Records, “Broken Windows” and “Black Pavement” mark another milestone in the band’s steady rise, following a string of visually striking releases and an increasingly engaged online audience. These tracks serve as a key moment in the band’s upcoming body of work, further defining their signature blend of modern emo, post-hardcore energy, and melodic urgency.

“Broken Windows” and “Black Pavement” will be initially available exclusively on Bandcamp [12/19/2025]

“Broken Windows” will be available on all major streaming platforms [01/23/2025]

BROKEN WINDOWS

I’ve tried
Holding on to what we had
Booze and pills would take me back
I want it all
I want it all

Breaking
Down the seatbelt clings to me
Take the wheel I just can't see where
We’re going now
We’re going now

Push the seats a little back
We’re going down, we’re going fast
The Needle and the Damage Done
Was playing on the radio

And I can escape every night
I just can’t see past the lights
And I know it’s
Never going
Never going away

Take me
To where the streets forget my name
Tell me who will take the blame
What’s left behind
I can’t describe

Push your face up to the glass
The future’s now let’s make it past
The Needle and the Damage Done
Was playing on the radio

And I can escape every night
I just can’t see past the lights
And I know it’s
Never going
Never going away

Broken Windows

a song about being umotivated,lost,faking smiles and unable to fall asleep

lyrics:
I've
I've
i've been wasting time
telling all these lies
dont
dont
dont know what to do
i just feel lost in my room 

i've
i've 
i've been taking pills
tryna go to sleep
but 
but these thoughts
wont let me rest

i've
i've
got no where rest
got no where to lay my head
time without a home
one to call my own
