Goodbye

Take care of yourself,
I promise we will get far,
Tomorrow's looking promising,
Even though we're all apart.

It's not a complete goodbye,
But we have to drift away,
I guess we have no other choice,
But have one thing to say...

*Chorus*
Goodbye, to the memories,
To the journey,
To the laughs we had.
Hello, to the open doors,
Wait for what's in store,
New moments to add.
But all I want to say,
And remember today,
And what we had.
Goodbye, and hello

Take care of yourself,
It's not the complete end of us.
We're all had our share of moments,
Happier ones and rough.

It'll take some time of getting used to,
But we'll be fine.
I guess we have no other choice,
But to say goodbye


*Chorus*
Goodbye, to the memories,
To the journey,
To the laughs we had.
Hello, to the open doors,
Wait for what's in store,
New moments to add.
But all I want to say,
And remember today,
And what we had.
Goodbye, and hello

Tomorrow's looking promising.
We've gotten through everything.
It's not the end of us.


*Chorus*
Goodbye, to the memories,
To the journeys,
To the laughs we had.
Hello, to the open doors,
Wait for what's in store,

But all I want to say,
Is goodbye.

It's only the beginning

NEW BLOG!

http://splinteredsecrets.blogspot.com

Don't worry, y'all, I'll still write in this blog. For sure. A peek inside a music freak's life is most important. (So much for important, haven't posted in over a month)'

I just thought, that with another blog, I can easily rant and whatnot. I figured I'd devote this blog to more musical stuff... just to keep it simple.

Nonetheless, check it out! I will be posting on both!

Adios

December = EnEx

Well... HI.

I guess I'm a stranger to you because I haven't posted in ages.
WELL, I'M SORRY. SCHOOL IS TOUGH YA'KNOW

I'm now back on track to my musical endeavours! Which is why I'm giving an update. :)

I'm back on the third (and final) instalment of my EnEx project. For those who don't know, it's a project where we go beyond our comfort zones and learn more about a career and/or passion.

Mine is, of course, music production... again.

THIS YEAR WE GET TO WORK WITH A MENTOR. AHHHH.

And that means... I get to produce a song!

The purpose of this assignment is to get out of our little bubble that we call comfort and work on "real life" skills. This means finding a mentor, getting one, working with one, etc. It's a lot harder and stressful that it sounds, because we have to do assignments (i.e progress logs, reflections, other paperwork, evaluations) but I think it is worth it.

I mean, it's not every day I will get to work with a producer, let alone make a song, perhaps?

This project will be over the course of the next 5 months or so. I'll keep updates on here as well. :D

Sorry, no song today. I know, bummer. Winter break is coming up soon... I'll post a song then. How 'bout that? :)

Happy December!

October 6, 2012

A poem, perhaps?

Listen

We strive to let the world know
We belong,
As if our faults cannot be seen,
They point them out,
And tell us to change.
We try to walk down our path,
The one with open doors,
To achieve.
But they turn the light off,
And tell us we can't.
So we,
Listen


I know it's been a LONG time since I last posted, but I tried?! School and extra-cirriculars have been keeping me busy. Same old, same old.

I might turn this poem into a song. I have a feeling this is the chorus. What do you all think?

September 16, 2012

2 Months No See

Well, whoops! It's been nearly two months since I last posted. (I hope you noticed I deleted my videos. It's way too time consuming. Maybe I'll just stick to garageband recording.)

Yeah. That's about it. I just thought I'd say hi. My apologies for the lack of content on here. (especially lately.)
I wrote a whole bunch of new songs. No, I'm not saying that just to stall for time. I mean it. I wrote a bunch.

So there you go! I'm busy with school and such, so don't be surprised if I don't post in a while.

BUT I WON'T . I'M NOT THAT EVIL AND MEAN.

I'M A NICE PERSON. :)

July 25, 2012

Life Story

First of all, I would like to say that I'm really, really, really, super-de-duper sorry for not keeping my promise from the last post that I will post a new video. I should really just shut up.

I WAS BUSY, KAY? And no, no song today. It's a life story. (Time for Mani to get rambling!)

Anywhoo, I've had a bunch of people ask me how I got interested in this whole music biz. Now, if you don't want to hear all this mambo jumbo, well, feel free to browse around the blog. If you're really not interested in my blog at all, why are you even here? :P (but I love you for giving me a view!)

Alrighty, once upon a time, long before I wrote songs, I wrote poetry. Poetry about anything, anytime. Pizza, weather... you name it.
I was 6.
And when I was 6, I was randomly singing on top of the coffee table in the living room like there was no tomorrow. (My mom made videos. There's proof. I'm so glad I have no idea where they are.)

Shortly after, I wrote a song... about pizza...
Let's say there wasn't much going on at that time.
*fastforward*

I was 9 when I wrote a song with meaning. My friend (*super talented friend) sang a poem of mine, and instantly said it was better off as a song.
I wasn't really a happy chap, I was a poet after all. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was a better songwriter then a poet. Then I wrote more songs. And started singing them too.

And I got Tino. (my acoustic guitar, for those who don't know.)

I wrote more songs and poems. And I got Vannie. (my electric guitar.)

I wrote more songs and poems.... and here I am today!

That's it! A really lame story about how I got inspired to start pursuing music.

Oh, and I played piano during this story too. Ahaha.

Yuppers... *awkward silence*

July 15, 2012

Insincerity

Way to be optimistic, Mani.
Well, here goes nothing.


Insincerity 


Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity. 

I'm falling from the force,
It keeps bringing me down.
I can't seem to find my soul.
It's nowhere to be found.

But I'm not going anywhere,
You have no right to push me.
All this time I've been in pain,
Get me out of this misery.

*chorus*
Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

Being unaccepted for who I am.
It's hard to change me,
I don't want to please you,
I can't please everybody.

I'm slowly walking away,
Don't chase after me.
I've been in pain,
Get me out of this misery

*chorus*
Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

 I can't please everybody.


Yeah. There you have it.



I'd Stop

I'm getting worked up, tired,
I'm frustrated.
I can't keep my mind straight.
You haven't seen me in anguish.

Ignorance has blinded you.
You just walk away,
I'm losing the connection,
There's nothing left to say.

It's hard to keep trust when there
Was nothing to start with.
Years have come and gone,
But the hole never patched up.

*chorus*
I'd stop the whole world,
I'd stop those just like you.
I'd make you stop and watch,
Make you remember and regret.
I'd stop you from hurting me.
I'd stop myself from falling,
I'd make you search for me,
But I'll never be found.
Cause I am gone.

[Insert rest of the song here]

^ I'm in a little bit of a rush, and I haven't posted in quite a while (sorry!) so I decided to jot down a bunch of verses.
Why must choruses be so difficult to write? This chorus is still a work in progress... It's a bit rough, don'tcha think? :(

On a much sweeter note, (Haha. Note. Get it? Note! Haha. No? Okay. I'll keep my lame jokes to myself) I baked red velvet cupcakes a couple of days ago! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics, but they were delicious.
Thanks Betty Crocker and her cake mixes. (I cheated. Used cake mix.) ;)

I'll be continuing my baking and musical endeavours...

Until next time. :)

Unresolved Ending


And we break up into shattered fragments,
Not knowing how to respond to the rest.
The world is a blur,
As we happen to see only our matters,
The existence of others fails to be noticed.
We cry to the world,
But deaf to the sounds of cries of help from those who need it the most.
We walk away from a hand in need,
Blinded by what we want.
The cycle goes on
Until one
Falls.



^ Yup. Another poem. :)

June 26, 2012

Buddy :)

Hi y'all!

Here's a link to my friend's website. I hope you guys check it out. It's pretty cool, and he's posted a bunch of my links on it too. (Aww yeah! I'm being promoted! Hahah)

He's a pianist, composer and writes songs as well.

Just. Like. Moi. :D

Awesomeness? I think so.

So check out The House of Music 1

And keep coming back soon. I'll be posting more videos and songs up. (Finally!)

June 22, 2012

Why

If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have written this song,
I wouldn't have been in despair,
No one needed to catch me.

I thought I had place to call my own,
But instead I was manipulated.
I never thought I'd be so vulnerable,
But look at what you've shown.

*chorus*
Why did I crumble myself?
Why did you throw me away?
Why did you pick me up,
And placed me someplace safe?

But now if it weren't for you,
I'd be at the bottom of the hole,
I'd be climbing the walls,
Trying to get up.

And I thought I had no hope
But I found myself an angel.
I've been granted a wish,
I never thought I'd ever wish for.

*chorus*

Why did I crumble myself?
Why did you throw me away?
Why did you pick me up,
And placed me someplace safe?

Why did I break apart?
Why did you kick me aside?
Why did you pick me up,
When I was about to run and hide?

Why did you hold me close,
When they picked a fight?

June 20, 2012

Ours- Taylor Swift cover

Why didn't I make a youtube before? I'm liking this. :)

Here's my cover of Ours by Taylor Swift. Hopefully, it's much better than my last video. (I'm going to work on that...)

Hope you liked it!

Yes. I know. I'm really awkward in introducing and concluding.

I need your opinion. My last video (Hey Darling) was recorded on my camcorder and this one in photo booth. Which one is better? (in terms of audio and video quality.)

Also, I finally got a macbook pro, which means one thing... GARAGEBAND. :)
Mac + Summer = Recording.

Can't wait!

FINALLY

So I gave up and decided to make a youtube channel.
AND MY VIDEO IS UP TOO. MWUAHAHAHA.

Anyway, for those that want to know, the link for my channel is www.youtube.com/TheManiD11

First video; kind of rough and choppy. As I keep making more videos, I'll continue to get better. (I hope. haha)

I hope you like the video for my song ""Hey Darling". <-- click on the link for lyrics. (:







Yeah, yeah. I was nervous so my guitar skills were not the greatest, and my voice wasn't close to good as I thought it would be.
DON'T WORRY, I WON'T TORTURE YOU LIKE THAT AGAIN. I promise I'll do better next time! And perhaps a cover? :)

Currently untitled sad, "pick me up" song

You'll make your way,
You'll find a path to get out,
You've held it for so long,
Without a scream or a shout.

It's hard to let go,
Everything is out of control,
Know that I'll be there,
There's so much to know.

Remember the love, it'll make you stronger.
You can spread your wings, you can fly,
Remember you'll be watched over...

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.


And every step you make,
Will be the start of an adventure,
So open up a new chapter,
And hold on to those memories.

Remember the love, the memories are there,
The world's spinning fast, but even through despair,
Remember you can find a way out.

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.

Words like goodbye,
Seems so hard to spit out,
And you don't know when you can say hello again.
But listen,
There's too much to say in this world.
So remember, keep the love in your heart.

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.


^ YAY! ANOTHER NEW SONG THAT I WROTE ABOUT A WEEK AGO BUT FAILED TO POST UNTIL NOW. :D

Summer

Time for eating, sleeping, hanging out, vacationing, more sleeping, more eating, more of doing nothing... and most importantly...

Writing more songs and playing more music.

I feel like I've neglected this blog, and I feel terrible! But now that summer's here, I have lots of time. And if I can't write a post, then... well, spazz at me all you want.

Also, if you haven't done yet, please subscribe! I'm usually not the type of person who asks to like on fb, share and subscribe, but I'd love it if you did! Please and thank you!

And I added a bunch more pics on the pics page if you want a look.

More songs to come, pinky promise. :)

Surrender

Surrender

And if I had the choice,
I’d let all of it slip away.
Letting each wave slowly strip my hopes, dreams, achievements, away until it’s all gone.

And I wouldn’t look back,
I’d keep strolling until I fall;
Surrendering.
Letting the beast have a taste of victory.

And there aren't any second chances,
Once you hear the footsteps approach;
This psychopathic decision.

Every story has a villian.

 ^ Very deep and dark poem, eh? I found this in my notebook, liked it and decided to type it. It's quite old. :)

May 19, 2012

Reality

As the days go on, the busier I get. Which kind of sucks, considering that I barely have time to write on here.
FINALLY, I HAVE A SONG! :D
Happiness is twisting and turning in my stomach.

Why do you stay for a while,
When you're gone for the rest of the day.
What's the use of having your around?
When I can't see you, you're not help at all.

So you're picking on me for not caring at all,
But in reality, my words go in one ear and out the other.

*chorus*
And someday, I'll find a way out.
I'll walk out of that door.
I'll never come back,
You don't know what's in store.
And you'll make your way in,
And you can't find me.
Wake up, time to learn your lesson.
This is reality.

You won't find me....
You won't find me.

And why do you ponder around,
You voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
You've become so useless,
You can leave now, I know you're bored.

But rather than you leaving, maybe I'll take a step,
So expect the unexpected.

*chorus*
And someday, I'll find a way out.
I'll walk out of that door.
I'll never come back,
You don't know what's in store.

And you'll make your way in,
And you can't find me.
Wake up, time to learn your lesson.
This is reality.


I've given you plenty of chances.
I've reminded you of your rights and wrongs.
But all you're ever were, and will be is pathetic,
Useless, a liar and a hypocrite.

*chorus*
And someday, I'll find a way out.
I'll walk out of that door.
I'll never come back,
And you can't find me.
This is reality.

So, wake up, time to learn your lesson.
This is reality.

Unloved Reflection

And those mirrors remind us
Of how worthless,
Meaningless,
Unappreciated,
Repulsive
And ignored we are.
But do the mirrors tell the tales,
Or do our eyes?

May 2, 2012

Impossible


Just yesterday, it seems as if I was,
Small and scared, caring what everyone thought,
Playing battles of who can say
Those nasty words.

Inside your heart, you're controlled by,
Troubled ghosts, having no sense of direction.
Pretending as if nothing happened,
Nothing happened at all.

*chorus*
And I'm trying to catch a star but it's too far away.
It impossible to find.
It's like trying to fix broken promises,
It seems impossible to try

And like throwing pebbles,
But even more harsh, I shatter my reflection,
'Cause meeting up expectations
And learning others preconception
Is what I need.

*chorus*
And I'm trying to catch a star but it's too far away.
It impossible to find.
It's like trying to fix broken promises,
It seems impossible to try

And if I can't figure out how to fix this,
Clean off the dirt that we've spread.
Clear our meaningless expectations,
That are all stuck in our heads.

*chorus*
And I'm trying to catch a star but it's too far away.
It impossible to find.
It's like trying to fix broken promises,
It seems impossible to try

Because our expectations are meaningless,
They only break hearts.
Shatter reflections
And control us.


^ Alrighty! That last verse, right after the last chorus is actually from a poem that I wrote today. And some little tidbits here and there were from that poem also. I sandwiched them into the song. Hopefully it worked! :)

April 29, 2012

Favor

And you pushed me closer to the edge,
I'm falling in the air.
You pushed me closer, now I'm gone,
I'm flying someplace else,
Don't catch me, I don't need a favor.
A favor, a favor.

So what happened to the word friend?
Has it all tumbled to an end?
Don't bother patching up those lies,
There's one word left: goodbye.

Was it me who fell in the trap?
I didn't know you'd change so fast.
I'm sick and tired of being ignored,
You push me then pick me up.

So go.
I don't need the two faces,
It's a mix of love and hate,
Why am I wasting time for
Things to get better?

*chorus*
And you pushed me closer to the edge,
I'm falling in the air.
You pushed me closer, now I'm gone,
I'm flying someplace else,
Don't catch me, I don't need a favor.
A favor, a favor.

Finally a song! Yay! :)

April 21, 2012

Higher

Here I go,
Walking down the path,
That leads me home,
And when I'm lost in the dark,
All I need to do is think about you,
And I'll finally arrive.

You open my eyes.
Everywhere I go, everything is in color.
I see the clear blue sky,
Every moment seems to get better and better.
Watch the birds fly,
They're taking our dreams higher and higher.
Higher. Higher.

Here I am,
At my destination,
I'm feeling glad,
Your shield is protecting me
And when I'm alone,
What I can do is think about you,
And you're already there. 

You open my eyes.
Everywhere I go, everything is in color.
I see the clear blue sky,
Every moment seems to get better and better.
Watch the birds fly,
They're taking our dreams higher and higher.
Higher. Higher.

I keep walking and walking.
Unaware of the traps that will ambush me.
And I'm smiling and smiling.
Living the life of pure ecstasy.
But the world's turning grey, so suddenly.
Just catch me.

And you'll open my eyes.

You open my eyes.
Everywhere I go, everything is in color.
I see the clear blue sky,
Every moment seems to get better and better.
Watch the birds fly,
They're taking our dreams higher and higher.
Higher. Higher.


^ Just a song our of the blue. Listened to a song by Megan & Liz and it got me inspired to write something more positive and upbeat. :)

Sugar to the max!

I spent about three hours baking cupcakes. No big deal.
Failed my first two batches. The frustration killed me. But I didn't give up, just like I haven't given up writing songs. And finally the third batch came out perfecto!
I did write three songs this weekend, which is always a good thing. (:
And yes, thanks to Shakespeare, my inner poet is still inside me.
And now you all know that I bake. Haha

Easter cupcakes! :)
 That ball on the top is cookie dough... salmonella free, of course.
 Photography skills do come in handy. And an awesome camera.
 The fact that there was so much sugar in this scared me. Let's hope we all stay healthy after munching on one... :S
Thanks mom for taking this one! 

My mom gave me serious prep talk when I was about to give up on my second batch. She made me bake again until they were perfect. (Oh, what a perfectionist!) 

Methinks I should post another song asap. Agreed?

Happy bunny day!

Bittersweet Innocence

The bittersweet taste
Of innocence
That you hold on to
Never let go of
The youth inside of you.
Worlds will collide
Mistakes will be made
Paths will cross
Madness is what keeps us close.
Being afraid of
The impossible
Will shatter glass hearts
Which is the beauty within us.
And of all the wonders
Those witches have told
Spells have cast
Prophecies from oracles
Have defined our destines.
Fear not of this life
Live until the stars have told us so
Which after we tower mountains
And disclose adventures
That have widened our eyes.
Open doors to which paths lead
Us to wondrous favorable circumstances
Love shall be cherished
Be rough when it's harsh
Despite it all life without love
Will never be left not found. 
Nobody is a nobody
When there is bittersweet innocence
Masking your fears
Layers upon your beauty.

I guess I'm just having a poet's moment these days. I dedicate this to my sister. <3
I don't know if you have noticed but my poems are basically me rambling on nonsense.
Hopefully this has made sense to y'all. Haha (:

Thank You Shakespeare

In school we'reading Romeo and Juliet, so it's quite understandable that I wrote a poem of this theme.
Literary devices for the win. Hahaha

Yeah, this isn't a song (which I haven't written in a while), but I still hope y'all like this!

(Currently untitled)

Is it you that captures my attention,
Across the sea where ships are lost?
And mine, my eyes are lost
Mesmerized by the light in which you shine
Brighter than the sun
Or a golden fire engulfing
The world without a care.

It is unknown how long this rose will last,
If the petals that feel like silk will fall off,
Ending love.
Will immortality strike this thorn covered flower,
Will time freeze to last love forever?

No one known how long the dove will sing,
Singing your words so lovingly.
Wishful thinking begins, that you'll come.
Someday the night will brighten with you.
You're a thief, stealing what is rightfully mine.
My heart.
I feel it beating but it's not with me.

March 31, 2012

Love the Earth.

If you tell me that I'm not being eco friendly because I'm on my laptop, please don't. My laptop isn't plugged in, so no, it's not devouring all of the electricity.

Blogging in the dark, oh yeah! Happy Earth Hour! :)

New song coming up soon. Later tonight or tomorrow... we'll see.

Let's show our love for this planet, and Earth will love us back.
Stay green! (Oooooo, I love green! Haha.)

Rambling On Something That Doesn't Makes Sense.

Insanity.
And emotion that engulfs us.
The best of us.
Leaves nothing to hide.

Drowning us in madness,
Tends to make us,
Break us.
Gives us no other choice.

The complexity of this world,
Leaves one without senses.
Controls us.
Covering us in a fog of confusion. 



This poem makes no sense. I don't know the meaning behind this. Kind of. Thanks for reading! :)

March 15, 2012

I Look Like A Chipmunk

I don't think I'll be able to sing for a few days.
Got my wisdom teeth out.
Oyyyy. In excruciating pain. Lazy in bed and because of sedation I feel drunk. Can't walk properly.
Don't worry, I'm not. I promise.
Well, this gives me time to reread "The Hunger Games" for probably the 5th time. Doesn't seem like a lot, but it is.
I'm extremely excited for March 23 for the movie of course. ;)

Alrighty. Going to read some more and probably cry some more in agony. Hopefully not. Please no.

By the way, I look like a chipmunk due to swollen cheeks. Heh

My Inner Poet. Part 4.

Time Traveler 

Apprehensive about the future,
Verklempt about the past,
What can we ask for from the present?

Stages of life as the world comes in,
Collapsing onto us,
Without a care.

Destiny awaits us,
Wishful thinking begins.
Dreading for the worst to come.

Reminiscing memories,
Immortal as they are,
Always lasting in our souls.

The present is ticking by.
It doesn't bother to linger.
It slips out of our hands.

Words are spoken,
Thoughts are heard.
No one bothers to listen though.

And despite it all,
Seconds just disappear.
Becoming our past.

Apprehensive about the future,
Verklempt about the past,
Each individual is a time traveler.

March 12, 2012

Risk

Your new best friend is annoyance.
Driving me insane everywhere I go.
I can't help but start running.
Go left or right? I don't know.

You're chasing at the back,
Your goal is to try and ruin me.
I can't let you take me down.
Can I pull this off with all this trickery?

*chorus*
All you do is pick a fight.
Holding a grudge all night.
And I begin to wonder why,
I haven't taken a risk.

You break and curse at the world,
My surroundings seem to swirl,
All around because I haven't taken a risk,
To bring you down. 

February 26, 2012

Dear Friend

Awww yeah. It's amazing to have friends with similar interests as you.
I have this friend, and he has this website where he talks about music and has links to music and websites that he likes. I think it's pretty cool, actually.
Anyway, I'm linked on that website, and I think that is pretty darn dandy (:

I feel so famous at the moment, although, I'm only on my friend's website.
Only one. Haha
Coolness? I think so.

So, thanks! (:

Brighter

Finally a new song! Haha.
I was stumped on ideas for a while, and because of my busy schedule, I couldn't think of any myself.
So I have this friend who gave me a idea and I came up with this.
You like?

Time's ticking by,
Don't know what to say.
I wanna tell you you're special to me in some way.
Please don't take it wrong,
I just want your heart,
I wanna just start over, have a fresh new start.

And I miss those days when we used to stay,
Up all night talking.
I miss those times when you and I,
Spent our times laughing.

*chorus*
Please don't run away, I don't want you gone,
My shoulder is here when you need someone to lean on.
Please don't shut me out, I need you here,
I'm waiting for the day when my whole world turns clear.
And you'll make it brighter.

My heart's ticking fast,
When you walk past by me.
No one else can see what I can see.
You think I'm weird,
I'm just trying hard,
I just want to burn the wall of silence down.

And I miss those days when we used to stay,
Closer as friends.
I'm just hoping I will take your heart and,
Someday you'll be mine.

*chorus*
Please don't run away, I don't want you gone,
My shoulder is here when you need someone to lean on.
Please don't shut me out, I need you here,
I'm waiting for the day when my whole world turns clear.
And you'll make it brighter.

Don't want anyone else to drag you away,
I'm scared to lose you, there's nothing else to say.
Don't want to risk the chance of any misunderstandings.

Don't want anyone else to take my place,
They just want to push us away.
I don't want my whole world to blur up again.

Make it brighter.

*chorus*
Please don't run away, I don't want you gone,
My shoulder is here when you need someone to lean on.
Please don't shut me out, I need you here,
I'm waiting for the day when my whole world turns clear.
And you'll make it brighter.

Cross

Don't you feel good about yourself when you're pushing everyone down?
I can see it in your cold eyes.
Don't you wish you can tower everyone else,
I can tell. I'm not surprised.

But one day, I'm telling you,
I'm gonna break the walls down.
You'll see, I'm coming through.
No one can break me now.

We're running away from the truth,
You're scared of what I've gone through,
It's gonna come back one day.
You know it'll come. It will come.
Our different paths will cross. 


^ Got this so far? Stuck. Not tune yet. What is this insanity?

The Awkward Moment When... You Unexpectedly Come Up With A Poem

The awkward moment when you're brainfartting in the middle of writing a song.

The awkward moment when you use the word brainfart.

Yes, my word. Love it.

Haven't been writing songs lately as I've been super duper busy with school and wasting my time. Haha. I just hate those moments. I feel so left behind. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to write more and have a wave of lyrics wash ashore in my brain. (that sounded so cool!)

I do have a poem? Does that help? (:

Don't go back.
Pressing rewind will only cause harm.
The heart will rip,
Holes will be made.
Shine with light, as good memories are to be remembered.
The past is misery,
Our preconception of our foregoing.

Open up to tomorrow,
Take a step in.
Don't be scared, shy.
The day will suck you in but you're safe.
The tears in your heart will stitch.
The tears in your eyes will dry.
Smile. We have the light in our eyes.
Take a look at our fate.
We can move on.


^ I guess I'm just one of those people that when I dwell on the past, I'm haunted by bad memories. Some good, but you know...

The sun will come out tomorrow. (:

Grammys? Aww Yeah. (:

I've been waiting for this since...
Well, last year.

Right now, at this very moment, I'm watching the Grammys. (:
Big deal? Yes. It's the biggest music award ever. I find it the biggest music award ever. People have their own opinions.

THE POINT IS THAT I'M SO EXCITED AND HAPPY. (:

Yes, I'm rambling. My apologies. My blog isn't called "A Freak Inside a Music Freak's Life" for nothing, you know.





Now, time for me to watch my idols shine and dream about what it's like winning one.

(:
