I'm a 19 year-old singer and multi-instrumentalist from Canada.
Presented here are my own self-produced compositions. Everything from the compositions and lyrics to the recording and mixing is done entirely by me in my home studio. The singing, keyboards, guitars and other instruments are also played entirely by me.
As a self-taught artist, feedback concerning the mixing, composition, lyrics and interpretation is very important for my learning process.
Constructive comments, may they be positive or negative, would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
Here are the lyrics for the songs available on my myspace page:
Soft Invasion ~ My Life in 5/8
Red fairytale and books of untold stories
Crawl all the way up in every crimson verandah
Life stream and self-induced trance
Coma
Crossovers of zodiac signs and evil machinery
I will always believe in them
If they can break from their disguises
Hitchhiking in outer space
Pouring my heart into them
Rivers of mud flow on our hands
The cyberslums invade our minds
There goes the rollercoaster…
---
This is my life in 5/8.
Painted (nIGHT) Sky
Silence…
I’m stuck inside my hands
I’m stuck inside my lungs
Oh I’m stuck between your eyes
Night stars falling
The snow is shivering
The shimmers on your skin
My heart’s made it this far
My heart’s a painted sky
My heart’s made it this…far
My heart’s made it this far
My heart’s a painted sky
My heart’s made it this–
(I can’t draw a star)
Metric Abnormality
J’ai perdu le souffle, sur le chemin qui cause la transition
Étendu sur la route gelée, les pieds dans l’infini
“This is a metric abnormality
Where fragments of your life and my life keep getting mixed up
If I follow the line, will I reach the end?
Well, linearity does have its own charm.”
Fade, yeah you can fade away, the fairytale is gone
The junkyard of my heart told me to stay away
Fade, yeah we can fade away
The ship is falling, we’re swimming in the sinking sand
And through this stormy dream, we’ll stay awake
I’m not a whole, I’m not a whole, I’m not a whole, I’m not a whole, …
What if I could cut the moon in half
What if I could turn dust into gold
What if I won every of these dreams
Layers of paradise
What if I could make the sky fall down
What if I could make us walk on walls
What if I turned the scenery upside down
Layers of paradise
It’s true, I’m strange
And through all the hardships, laughter, smiles
Deceptions and kisses
I’m not sorted out
Ces jours-ci, je tombe dans le puits sans savoir pourquoi
Puis je reste pris dans la rivière, glissant sans appui
“This is a metric abnormality
Where pieces of shattered mirrors aren’t coming together
Can you see those rough edges?
Well, I guess liminality has its own charm too.”
Fade, yeah you can fade away, the fairytale is gone
The junkyard of my heart told me to stay away
Fade, yeah we can fade away
The ship is falling, we’re swimming in the sinking sand
And through this stormy dream, I’ll stay awake
The Night Mirrors the Day
One’s a pretentious run
Covered of blood
The prettiest hoax
Black holes and a toy
Too small to handle
Invisible clothes
Fakes muscles and fear
Of breaking them up
Others all fit in a mold
All soft ‘round the edge
With no car to drive
And candles to light
No ashes to freeze
No rocks and no stars
Just machines to boot
But then…
Before the dusk comes a time
When everything falls apart and
Skyscrapers turn upside down
Fragments of memories
Come into our dream and
The wake-up call is dawn’s…
Intervention
Looks that kill
Rushing towards the sun
Glowing around our aura
Censorship
Police officers
The day is swirling away
Shadows in shades of grey
The rainbow’s alienation
Singing while…
The bells are ringing with raw precision
Buildings dancing in merry explosions
Before the dusk comes a time
When everything falls apart and
Skyscrapers turn upside down
Fragments of memories
Come into our dream and
The wake-up call is dawn’s…
Intervention
Looks that kill
Rushing towards the sun
Glowing around our aura
Censorship
Police officers
Alienation (Fake I.D.)
Book, pen, writing around
Jump down, crackle the ground
Just grace the room with fearing eyes
Crooks, jokers laugh putting you down
Life wears you out and runs away
Jaded by the days and restrained by the sights
Turn right, and go along the play
The players are as fake as the stage
Alienation
Role-playing lighthearted fools
The figures are strange and obscure
Meteors and rain falling, and rain falling
I’m standing still and pretending, and pretending
No line and only space, and only space
Figures in broken pieces
And shuffled cards, on shattered trains
Are getting in my…
Soulless breathing flesh
Dancing in the flames
Free and languorous
Dancing in my soul
iPods, singing around
Jump up, crazy and black
Just set the pace for those who slack
Joker of spades will die, crushed on the ground
Life helps you out and runs away
Rescued by the light and jaded by the nights
Turn left, and grow along the play
The players are as fake as the stage
Alienation
Role-playing lighthearted fools
The figures are strange and obscure
Many painted figures on a big shadowed wall
I’m stuck between what’s right and what’s real
Sleeping on the sun
Digging in the sand
And I’ve finally found something in between
That can melt and fade
Sleeping on the sun
Digging in the sand
It’s your fake I.D.
Sleeping on the sun
Digging in the sand
It’s your fake I.D.
