Control in Ashes

Edge Of Yesterday

Departure Delayed

⭐️ MAIN GENRE: Alternative Grunge Rock / 90s-Inspired Female Fronted  

📀 ABOUT THE TRACK: A powerful alternative grunge manifesto about feeling like life is “someone else’s game,” where the rules are imposed from the outside and the stake is your own soul. A raspy female vocal cuts through a thick wall of distorted guitars, and the lyrics balance between existential hopelessness and a desperately bright belief in love as the only way out. This is a wake‑up song: from realizing the meaninglessness of everyday “lotteries” to the decision to love in defiance of the darkness.  

🎸 SOUND: A raw, honest grunge sound in the spirit of 90s Seattle: heavy overdriven guitars with feedback, lively dynamic drums, and a driving bass that pushes the track forward. The verses are slower, introspective, half-whispered and strained, creating the feeling of a personal confession. The choruses are explosive and anthemic, with powerful belting vocals and a wide, wall-of-sound arrangement. There’s an expressive guitar solo with an emotional crash and noisy feedback that emphasizes the inner breakdown. The production is deliberately rough and “live,” with minimal polishing — like a real band recorded in a real room, not a sterile studio smoothing everything out.  

💛 TRACK FEATURES:  

- Alternative grunge rock with strong raspy female vocals  
- 90s Seattle vibe: heavy distortion guitars + raw delivery  
- Contrast: melancholic, contemplative verses → anthemic, explosive choruses  
- Tempo and dynamic shifts from a slow intro to powerful climaxes  
- Existential lyrics: the meaninglessness of a “someone else’s game,” spiritual exhaustion  
- Vivid metaphors: “lottery’s empty lights,” “worn-out balls” of fate  
- Transition from despair to a bright call to love as an act of resistance to the void  
- Guitar solo with feedback and emotional crescendo  
- Live, slightly dirty grunge production without gloss  
- Russian lyrics with an English title — a bridge between scenes

📝 LYRICS:

⬜️ ENG ⬜️⬜️⬜️

🎲 [Intro]

Mmm-hmm... 

🎲 [Verse 1]

Consciousness realizes clear  
The pointlessness of empty games
And life just trades what we hold dear  
For lottery's cheap, hollow flames...

In circles, or a spinning wheel
Life cannot move in other ways -
By evening you're like all who feel
Another wasted one of days

🎲 [Pre-Chorus]

The worn-out balls are lying there
Scattered across the different holes,

🎲 [Chorus]

And someone else's rules we bear
Like heavy chains upon our souls...

🎲 [Instrumental Solo]

🎲 [Verse 2]

The outcome's simple - in the end
We'll lie in narrow, airless ground...
So let us love and let us send!
Our hearts to those who can be found!

🎲 [Final Chorus]

So let us love and let us send!
Our hearts to those who can be found!

🎲 [Outro]

So let us love...
To those who can be found...

🎲 [End]

🎲 Someone Else Game

Infernal Dominion

Woke up with a headache and my soul gone flat
Doctor
Can you help me? "I've got a pill for that"
He said
"Open wide" and tossed me one
I swallowed it down and I said
"That was fun"
Next morning
Woke up feeling like I was shot
Went to the doctor and I told him what I got
He said
"What happened?" and I told him what I took
And he handed me a pill and I swallowed it down
And he handed me another and I swallowed it down
And he handed me another and I swallowed it down
And I took a deep breath and my soul came back
And he said
"Son
I've got a pill for that"


When the pain is so strong
You're beggin' for release
The pain in your heart and the pain in your knees
The pain in your back and the pain in your brain
The pain in your side and the pain in your name
The pain in your smile and the pain in your laugh
Son
I've got a pill for that


He said
"Once upon a time
It was opium and morphine
Sears and Roebuck catalog
Buy yourself a dose of cocaine
Then along came Bayer and their brand new aspirin
And from that day on
The whole world's been askin'
For their latest magic bullet to shoot into their veins
To help them deal with their headaches and their hangovers and their aches
We got uppers
Downers
Screamers
Laughers
Heroin
Fentanyl
Methamphetamine
Fifty different strains of THC
Just swallow it down
Just swallow it down
Just swallow it down
But we have to change your brain chemistry for that
So we've got a pill for that"


When the pain is so strong
You're beggin' for release
The pain in your heart and the pain in your knees
The pain in your back and the pain in your brain
The pain in your side and the pain in your name
The pain in your smile and the pain in your laugh
Son
I've got a pill for that


The old man said
"When you get old
Everything hurts
Every single day
It just keeps gettin' worse
And every day
I say a prayer to God above
Heaven is a place where there's no pain
And every day
I get down on my knees
And I say
'God
Please'
If heaven is a place where there's no pain
Then it must be like takin' oxy every day
Or else there's just no way you could cope with the fact
That it's the only thing on earth that takes the pain away
And when you get old
You'll understand that
But for now
Son
I've got a pill for that"
