Climb, man, climb—the spiral’s slow, But dig the way it bends and flows. Laughing hard at your own demise, Freak out as the stars collide. Catch the wind in shattered glass, Break the mold, but don’t let it pass. Dance with ghosts in the bleeding light, Born again in the endless night. (Chorus) You’re runnin’, baby, still as death, A scream that hums with every breath. Fly low, fly high, but don’t touch ground, Lost in space, never to be found. You’re runnin’, baby, standing still, Chainless, wild, bound by will.

They evoke feelings of anxiety, existential dread, and a chaotic search for meaning, while also suggesting empowerment in the face of adversity. The imagery of ghosts and endless night suggests introspection and confrontation with one's demons.
This song can be used in various scenarios like film soundtracks to evoke feelings of existential turmoil, during art installations that explore themes of chaos and creation, or as background music for dramatic theater performances.

(Verse 1) Late nights talking, sharing dreams, You know my heart like it’s a favorite theme, But every glance feels like a silent call, Wondering if we should risk it all. (Pre-Chorus) We laugh and we play, keeping it light, But deep down I know there’s something in sight, Caught in this dance, we both hesitate, Afraid of the fall, afraid of the fate. (Chorus) We’re just friends, but there’s more beneath, This tangled web of joy and grief, Holding back, but the sparks ignite, Two souls connected, lost in the night. (Verse 2) Every little moment feels like a test, A secret wish to know what’s best, Should we take a chance or stay in our lane? It’s a beautiful risk, but it might bring pain. (Pre-Chorus) You say you’re fine, but I see the signs, In the way you laugh, in the way you’re mine, We tiptoe around what we can’t define, Afraid to cross the line, afraid to entwine. (Chorus) We’re just friends, but there’s more beneath, This tangled web of joy and grief, Holding back, but the sparks ignite, Two souls connected, lost in the night. (Bridge) What if we fall? What if we break? Is it worth the risk for a chance we can take? I’ll hold your hand if you’ll hold mine too, In this game of hearts, it’s just me and you. (Verse 3) So here we are, still side by side, Caught in the moments we try to hide, But the truth remains, we feel it grow, In every heartbeat, in every hello. (Chorus) We’re just friends, but there’s more beneath, This tangled web of joy and grief, Holding back, but the sparks ignite, Two souls connected, lost in the night. (Outro) Maybe one day, we’ll find the way, To say the words that we both can’t say, But for now, I’ll keep you close, In this friendship where I love you the most.
[Verse] Woke up tangled in neon ropes Twisted thoughts can't find a home Lights flash blinding like my hopes Dripping venom can't leave me alone [Chorus] DNR poison running deep In my veins I cannot sleep Nightmares chase me counting sheep Heart beats wild it's far too steep [Verse 2] Serpents crawl inside my brain Electric shocks drive me insane Mind's a jungle tangled chain Can't escape this twisted game [Chorus] DNR poison running deep In my veins I cannot sleep Nightmares chase me counting sheep Heart beats wild it's far too steep [Bridge] Wires twist and circuits break Reality's just a fake Screaming loud for heaven's sake Lost in chaos wide awake [Chorus] DNR poison running deep In my veins I cannot sleep Nightmares chase me counting sheep Heart beats wild it's far too steep
[Verse] Woke up in a violent haze Sky eruptin' like a blaze Dreams crash into solid walls Echoes of forgotten calls [Verse] Glass shatters in the mind's eye Ravens circle crimson skies Footsteps on a deserted street Heartbeats race ain't feelin' sweet [Chorus] Colors collide in the midnight air Violence whispers man beware Can't tell if I'm awake or in a dream Life ain't ever what it seems [Verse] Shadows twist with hard conviction Every face a strange affliction Hands clutching at the fog Lost in this psychedelic bog [Bridge] Voices whisper don’t you scream Caught inside a wicked scheme Running hard but going nowhere Searching for a light to share [Chorus] Colors collide in the midnight air Violence whispers man beware Can't tell if I'm awake or in a dream Life ain't ever what it seems
[Verse] Когда саксофон поет под луной Ты сразу чувствуешь чудо.

Каждый аккорд –это парусник в море, Где миг и вечность ведут свой контакт. падубу-пап-па=пада-буду-па-падуба-па-п-а-буда а-а-аа-а-а-а-а-аа-а-а [Bridge] Скрипка плачет, как дождь по крыше,у-у-у...

Drinking with my father, words slurred and heavy "You and your sister never understood," he said "You're starting to understand now," he pled He read me a letter, illiterate and unsteady I have no identity, no nationality Left my country before I could claim it Father in the war, mother in the fray Simulacra and simulations, we're all in it I have no identity, no nationality Left my country before I could claim it Father in the war, mother in the fray Simulacra and simulations, we're all in it Nationalism, identities, politics, morals All ephemeral, detached from the real We're stupid most of all, can't you feel? Illiterate father, something genuine unfurls I have no identity, no nationality Left my country before I could claim it Father in the war, mother in the fray Simulacra and simulations, we're all in it Smoothing over brains, a collective safety net Speaking retarded tongues, fake identities Hyper-real versions, born from the identity-less Extinct, reborn as AI, homogenized silhouettes Flusser's technical image, embedded deep Various meanings, inflections we can't keep Now what? I ask myself, as gravity pulls Into the border, where reality dulls
(Verse 1) I see 'em gathered 'round the table, Voices low, but the tension's high, They’re pointing fingers, claimin’ burdens, While the dust settles, watchin' the time fly. Three loads of wash hang on the line, While empty glasses dance on the shelf, Seems like this house of ours is breakin’, With all these ghosts of the selfish self. (Chorus) It ain’t just the heavy lifting, It’s the weight of the unspoken fight. We all got our parts to play here, But some just drift into the night. This ain’t a one-man show, In the shadows, where the silence grows, We’ve got to bring our hearts together, To keep this house from getting cold. (Verse 2) I asked if anyone could help me, Just a simple task, just a kind word, But silence wrapped 'round like a shroud, In the chaos of the unobserved. I scrubbed the grime, I chased the dust, Yet the plates pile high, and the spirits lay low, We’re haunted by the words we never say, While the lonely echoes in this house grow. (Chorus) It ain’t just the heavy lifting, It’s the weight of the unspoken fight. We all got our parts to play here, But some just drift into the night. This ain’t a one-man show, In the shadows, where the silence grows, We’ve got to bring our hearts together, To keep this house from getting cold. (Bridge) Oh, the laughter seems like it’s been scattered, And the warmth in our hearts feels lost in the fray, If we can’t pull together when the thunder rolls, We’ll just fade away in a slow decay. (Chorus) It ain’t just the heavy lifting, It’s the weight of the unspoken fight. We all got our parts to play here, But some just drift into the night. This ain’t a one-man show, In the shadows, where the silence grows, We’ve got to bring our hearts together, To keep this house from getting cold. (Outro) So lift a burden, lend a hand, In this darkened space where we all stand. If we don’t rise, we’ll surely fall, Time to break the silence, bring back the call.
[Verse] Quiet nights whisper sad secrets Lonely hearts tangled in regrets Stars burn bright but never stay My shattered dreams fade away [Verse 2] Cold winds howling through the night Empty spaces where love took flight Silent cries in the darkened room Vulnerable hearts meet their doom [Chorus] Dancing alone under the moon's light Tears fall like rain no end in sight Broken promises that we once swore I'll never be whole anymore [Verse 3] Echoes linger of what we lost Love's a game but at what cost Fragile souls bruised and torn Holding on 'til the break of dawn [Bridge] In a world that's full of pain Every whisper feels the same Melancholy's gentle touch Tells me I still miss you so much [Chorus] Dancing alone under the moon's light Tears fall like rain no end in sight Broken promises that we once swore I'll never be whole anymore
