Life

“Life” is a collection of moments — quiet, loud, raw, and real. Songs about what we lose, what we keep, and what keeps us going. Memories, nature, time and truth. Not to escape the world, but to understand it. A soundtrack for those who feel deeply.

A dark synth-rock anthem on the destruction of the Amazon — deforestation, climate collapse, and a plea to stop the madness before it’s too late.

Green to grey, Smoke above  

Ash below — No return  

Chainsaws scream, Roots exposed  

Birds go quiet — Fire grows  

Deadly hunger, Feeding more  

Profit rising — Species fall  

We have to  

stop this madness...

now

Waters dry, Veins collapse  

Dust replaces — Emerald maps  

Fields expand, Nations cheer  

Hearts displaced — Truth unclear  

One tree falls, One soul gone  

Sky remembers — What we’ve done  

What we’ve done  

We have to  

stop this madness...

now  

We have to  

stop this madness...

now  

Oceans shift, Winds go wild  

Children breathe — Poisoned miles  

Ancient voices, Forced to flee  

Lungs collapsing — Can’t you see?  

We have to  

stop this madness...

now  

We have to  

stop this madness...

now  

Leaves like ashes  

Eyes like glass  

Hope still flickers  

This must pass  

stop this madness...  

...now...

A heartfelt ballad honoring a lifelong friend, mentor and soul brother — told through memories, silence, and unspoken love that never fades.

You were the kind of man who never needed words,

A quiet mind, a steady hand

the calm inside the storm.

You took me in when I was raw,

not quite yet grown,

And taught me how to build

with trust, not fear.

And we just watched

as the world moved on.

No need to run

we already knew

where we belonged.

We didn’t chase what others chased, 

we stayed behind,

Found wisdom in the silence

and the rhythm of a night.

Sometimes we’d sit for hours

barely spoke at all...

But still I’d leave and say

that was a beautiful night.

And we just watched

as the world moved on.

No need to run

we already knew

where we belonged.

You saw the world through lines and numbers

clean and bright,

Turned paper into structure

made metal feel like light.

I saw you sketch a future on a napkin in a bar,

It wasn’t for the moneyit was just who you are.

And we just watched

as the world moved on.

No need to run

we already knew

where we belonged.

Years would pass, you’d call from far, 

the bond stayed whole

where ever we are.

From partners into brothers, 

from colleagues into soul.

And though the road would pull us

into distant time and space,

We never lost the rhythm, 

the presence or the grace.

And we just watched

as the world moved on.

No need to run

we already knew

where we belonged.

Then came the fight no plan could stop,

no chart could hold,

The lines grew dim

the days grew slow

your hands turned cold.

And when the silence came for real,

I felt it loud

But still I see you every time

I look beyond the crowd.

And I still watch

as the world moves on.

And whisper your name

when the lights feel wrong.

You're still the stillness

in my song.

You were never gone

just further out of view.

The seat stays open,

Cetin, that one was for you.

An empowering soul ballad about being silenced, overlooked, and written off — and the fight to reclaim one's name and worth.

It starts so small

a look, a line

A laugh too loud

a shift in time

No questions asked

just empty air

And suddenly —

you’re never there

You say you know

what I believe

You write the lines

and make me leave

A whisper grows

a thread, a post

I’m cut in half

but bleed the most

You speak for me

I have no choice

You write my name

without my voice

The crowd decides

before I stand

No trial held

no helping hand

You share the lie

it travels fast

And facts just drown

beneath the blast

I walk alone

though friends still smile

But none will walk

that extra mile

You speak for me

I have no choice

You write my name

without my voice

No second thought

no second view

Just silence served

like something true

But I am not

your black-and-white

I have a heart

I had a fight

I made mistakes

like you have too

But truth can breathe

when we let through

You speak for me

I have no choice

You write my name

without my voice

But I remain

beneath the noise

Still human here —

without a voice

I won’t fight back

with rage or shame

I just exist

without your frame

No louder now —

but still in place

A silent soul

you can’t erase

Without a voice.

A cinematic reflection on drought and the vanishing water that sustains us — haunting, urgent, and all too real in a drying world.

Cracks in stone

Dust on lips

Nothing moves

Nothing drips

Thirty days

Without a cloud

Fields collapse

Machines are loud

Hands are dry

Eyes are red

Springs go silent

Rivers dead

When the water leaves

what will we become?

When the water leaves

what will we become?

South is burning

North is bone

Heat surrounds

But we’re alone

Empty fields

where rain once fell

We search in dust

but nothing flows

I miss the sound

on windowpanes

The smell of grass

in midnight rains

A child once danced

in summer storms

Now they hide

from liquid swarms

When the water leaves

what will we become?

When the water leaves

what will we become?

Amazon

Chokes on ash

Glaciers fracture

Oceans crash

We think it’s far

It’s under feet

Concrete floods

With no retreat

When the water leaves

what will we become?

When the water leaves

what will we become?

Crops won’t rise

Markets fall

Pipes go dry

Behind each wall

No war begins

Without a drop

But when it ends

The thirst won’t stop

When the water leaves

what will we become?

When the water leaves

what will we become?

When the water leaves...

...what will we become?

Nothing breaks

like something gone

Water left

and we went on

A powerful anti-war ballad confronting global conflict and its pointless cycles — no victors, only loss, and a longing for peace.

Smoke where homes should stand  

Flags burnt into the ground  

Uniforms on children’s skin  

Hope locked out  

Truth shut in  

They came at dawn with steel and fire  

Bridges fell  

Mothers screamed  

Snow turned red  

Sirens never ceased  

They called it peace  

But buried names  

We watched it live  

Like it was a game  

In fields of grain, the soil was flesh  

The hunger came  

The silence stayed  

Camps of fear  

Under broken skies  

She held her child  

But not her breath  

They raped her soul  

Then left her dry  

No one wins  

a prize for death  

No one wins  

when none are left  

No one wins  

with blood-stained breath  

Boots on temples  

Hands in chains  

Votes erased  

By rifle rain  

They said “order”  

We saw graves  

Tears on roads  

That led to caves  

We lit no candles  

For the truth  

We choked on silence  

Called it youth  

Streets of prayer  

Blown into ash  

A scream, a shot  

Another clash  

Ancient lands  

Now cursed with fire  

An eye for eye  

But no messiah  

The dead don’t know  

Who fired first  

They only share  

The same dry earth  

No one wins  

a prize for death  

No one wins  

in stolen breath  

No one wins  

when all are less  

And while we burn  

The world in veins  

We cry “too late”  

Then load again  

There’s money  

For a million drones  

But not for water  

Books or homes  

What could we fix  

With what we spend  

To make sure  

War will never end  

Who built the bombs?  

Who sold the guns?  

Who fuels the hate?  

Then simply runs  

They sit in suits  

We sit in fear  

They draw the lines  

Then disappear  

The war they started  

Won’t be theirs  

We bleed alone  

While no one cares  

No one wins  

a prize for death  

No one wins  

but all must pay  

No one wins  

this war is theft  

No one wins  

we lost the way  

Raise your hands  

But not in pride  

The fire dies  

But not the tide  

No one wins...  

and that’s the end. 

A shimmering pop tribute to a goddaughter’s life journey — from childhood memories to the pride of seeing her grow into her own light.

Born in May, a quiet light

Eyes like spring, full of fight

I was asked, but told I can’t

Still I swore — I’d always stand

No blessing from the church that day

Still I held you anyway

Through paper snow and winter shoes

The world was wide, and full of truth

At Christmas once, I played the man

With beard and sack and shaking hands

The dog went wild, you disappeared

And I became what you most feared

Evita —

you always knew how to grow

With a laugh, with your hands,

with a storm in your soul

you shine like no one I know

You don’t ask for the light —

you glow

I wasn’t near, not all the time

But every year, you crossed my mind

First day of school, your tiny feet

A world of words beneath your seat

You took the turns, you climbed with grace

A license earned, your driving face

The world stood still, but you still moved

And every day, you just improved

Evita —

you always knew how to grow

With a voice, with a fire,

with a way of your own

I watched from far but I know

You don’t ask for the light —

you glow

I saw you strong,

I saw you soft

I saw you fall,

but never lost

Through every change,

you stayed so true

And I was always proud of you

Evita —

you always knew how to grow

Like a song, like a star,

like a garden in snow

it’s you I’m proud to know

You don’t ask for the light —

you glow

Born in May,

with skies so wide

The world grew bigger

on your side

Evita...

you glow.

An R&B-tinged reminder that even in chaos, there is always a way forward — a song of hope, empathy and possibility.

She lost her job

just last July

Now coffee tastes

like “what am I?”

The mirror asks

a quiet why

And all she hears

is her own sigh

He said goodbye

after fifteen years

The plates are clean

but not the tears

She walks the dog

in borrowed light

And sleeps in socks

to hold the night

But don’t be afraid — there’s still a way

A softer voice

a slower day

Not all is fixed

but hearts still mend

Don’t be afraid —

this is not the end

A mother waits

outside the door

Her son’s too quiet

like before

She doesn’t ask

but prays instead

For dreams to bloom

inside his head

Don’t be afraid — there’s still a way

Even in grey

or disarray

You’re not behind

you’re not too late

There’s light enough

to bend the weight

It’s in the call

you didn’t make

The bread you bake

the smile you fake

It’s in the hand

you let just go

And still the will

to let love grow

Don’t be afraid — there’s still a way

You’re not alone

not meant to stay

Inside the doubt

you tried to hide

There’s still a world

and time and tide

So breathe and walk

and break and mend

And trust the turns

around the bend

Don’t be afraid —

you’ll find the way

You’re not alone —

not yesterday.

A haunting track on invasive species and human disruption — from bees to forests, a warning of what happens when balance breaks.

It started small —

a flower gone

a hum now silent

a path withdrawn

No thunder, no alarms, no flame

Just something missing

without a name

The balance broke

but no one cried

A tree went dark

the roots too wide

They came by crate

by plane, by trade

By garden dreams

and plans we made

The cane toad hopped

the ivy spread

The snake climbed high

the songbirds fled

The jelly fed

the larvae starved

We watched, confused —

and called it "large"

Uninvited — they stay, we fade

They bring no war — but still invade

No teeth, no tanks — but lands collapse

No warning shot — just nature cracks

Uninvited — they stay, we fade

We opened doors — and never paid

The honeybees

their numbers drop

The hornets came

and wouldn’t stop

One queen, one nest —

a thousand stings

And now we fear

the sound of wings

They eat the roots

they drink the stream

They push through cracks

where life once leaned

They’re not to blame —

they just survive

But we’re the ones

who kept them alive

You brought them home

You let them grow

You liked their leaves

You loved their glow

But now they climb

the native bones

And build new worlds

on shattered thrones

Uninvited — they stay, we fade

They fill the gaps

we helped create

We burn, we pave,

then call it fate

But silence comes

when it’s too late

Uninvited — they stay, we fade

The echo's yours

the debt unpaid

We fed the storm

We held the gate

Now even bees

begin to break

Uninvited...

we fade.

A somber elegy for innocent lives lost in terror and war — no anthem, no flag can justify the pain, only truth and remembrance remain.

It was morning

like the rest

until the silence

broke with death

Not a war

but an ambush

not a battle

just a crush

Of lives asleep

of doors unlocked

Of joy turned pain

and time that stopped

No flag for this

no truth inside

No cause can clean

the blood from lies

No flag for this

no right, no pride

Just lives erased —

and tears that hide

They had names

they had plans

They held phones

in shaking hands

A birthday cake

a song rehearsed

Now ashes fall

on soil cursed

No flag for this

no freedom call

You can’t build peace

by watching fall

No flag for this

no shield, no grace

Just mothers lost —

and one more face

If freedom is the dream you claim

then why are children bound in chains?

You speak of land

but bury souls

You carve a wound

you’ll never hold

No flag for this

no cause, no name

Just silence scorched

by brutal flame

No flag, no song

no righteous fists —

Just stolen time...

No flag for this

They had names.

They still do.

Bring them home.

Let them through.

No flag...

for this.

A deeply emotional song about the pandemic — isolation, grief, and the hope that came from breaking apart to heal together.

It started far, in whispered tone

A city locked, a street alone

The news grew loud, then louder still

And then —

the world

just held

its breath

The schools went dark

the planes stood down

We all stayed in

no streets, no town

We smiled through screens

we learned to wait

The days moved slow

behind the gate

When the world stood still

we broke apart to heal

Kept our distance close

to show what love can feel

When the world stood still

and silence filled the air

We lost our way —

but we were there

We baked, we cried

we missed the sound

Of hallway noise

of playground ground

We danced alone

we learned to teach

And held our kids

just out of reach

When the world stood still

we learned to count the cost

Not just in charts

but in the lives we lost

When the world stood still

and time forgot to run

We missed the touch —

of everyone

We argued loud

on who was right

On masks and shots

and civil rights

We fought at home

we lost some friends

And still don’t know

where it all ends

But nurses stayed

and doctors fell

The checkout smiled

inside her shell

We clapped at eight

we cried at ten

And prayed for air

to breathe again

We said too much

or said too little

Hearts got hard

minds went brittle

But not all harm

was born from hate

Most came from fear

and came too late

Let’s speak,

let’s grieve —

let’s now forgive

When the world stood still

we searched for something true

A kinder voice

a point of view

When the world stood still

we found our strength to live

Not to forget —

but to forgive

And when the world

will turn once more

Let’s not hold rage —

just keep the door

We can’t undo —

but we can forgive

And that’s

how we begin

to live.

A tender love song spanning three decades — about devotion, storms weathered, and the quiet power of growing older together.

It started cold

a beach in gray

Crash Test Dummies

on replay

Your coat too thin

your smile too wide

I knew —

I’d stay

right by your side

You wore the ring

in blooming May

And in November

we found our way

We said the thing

with open hands

That lovers dream —

but few can stand

No vow was tested

like our grace

But time can’t steal

what we embrace

It wasn’t luck

or fairy dust

It was the silence

built on trust

We laughed at life

and sometimes us

But always knew —

we’re still us

In all our seasons — we stayed

Through fire and shade,

we never strayed

The world turned loud

we held our tune

A song still soft

beneath the moon

We’ve lost, we fought

we climbed, we fell

But every scar

still rings like "well..."

We did it right

not always clean

But love was never

just a scene

Now autumn draws

its quiet lines

We trade the noise

for roots and pines

No billboard dream

no flash, no race

Just morning walks

and slower pace

We found what counts —

what makes us real

The wind, the woods

the way we feel

In all our seasons — we stayed

No curtain call

no grand parade

But hand in hand

and calm and wise

We lived the truth

behind the eyes

And when the dusk

will call our name

We’ll walk it slow

no need for fame

Just you and me —

as we began

Still side by side

Still woman

Still man

Still love

Still us.

A poetic ballad about finding peace and belonging in nature — when every road, no matter how far, leads back to the sea.

Breeze on glass

Engines hum

Miles behind

Peace to come

I leave the smoke

the rush, the race

The endless roads

that have no grace

I chase no more

what used to be

I follow calm

and memory

Every road

leads back to sea

To open skies

and wind in me

I’m not from here

but this is free

Every road

leads back to sea

Salt in air

and sand below

A kind of silence

only waves know

The gulls don’t ask

just let me be

The sky accepts

the shore in me

Every road

leads back to sea

To stillness found

in salty breeze

I’m not from here

but this is me

Every road

leads back to sea

Let them build

their glass and stone

I found my place

without a throne

A wooden bench

beneath the dune

Where I will sleep

beneath the moon

Every road

leads back to sea

The waves will hold

what’s left of me

I’m not from here

but I’m complete

Every road

leads back to sea

Nothing more

I need to be

I’m finally

where I breathe

Every road

leads back to sea.

A reflective R&B ballad on false friendship and true loyalty — a quiet tribute to those who stood by when the spotlight faded.

Not much left

of empty cheers

Not much warmth

in wine and years

I saw the crowds

I heard their names

But none returned

when silence came

They showed up loud

when I had light

Clinked their glass

and shared my height

But when the storm

rolled through the gate

They all turned

like it was fate

So many came —

few stayed

So many smiled —

few prayed

I called them friends

they called me more

But I kept count

as they left the door

One by one

they loved the sun

Not the cold

when it begun

So many came —

few stayed

So many smiled —

few prayed

They wore good suits

and perfect lies

They praised the climb

but not the tries

I saw the truth

behind the cheer

And found my peace

in who stayed near

Now I’m not bitter

just awake

Life’s not cruel —

it learns from breaks

Fifty years

and one clear view:

To know who's false

and who is true

They shook my hand —

then strayed

But I'm still here —

few stayed

So many came —

few stayed

So many smiled —

few prayed

Not alone

but less than known

Fewer names

More backbone

And when I fall —

no parade

But I will know:

few stayed.

They never asked

for front row seats

No applause

no golden streets

Just stood behind

when others fled

Their quiet love

the words unsaid

So many came —

few stayed

So many smiled —

few prayed

They shook my hand —

then strayed

But I’m still here —

few stayed

An energetic rock anthem against apathy — urging action, resilience and courage in the face of crisis. Don’t be afraid. We have solutions.

Steel breathes

Concrete waits

Storms may come

But structure stays

They said it's too dry

We said: then store it

They said it's too high

We said: then hold it

They said it’s too late

We said: then build

Where others flee

We lay still

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Flooded streets

Falling beams

Deserts grow

So do dreams

No excuse

No delay

Foundations speak

When systems fray

Not a theory

Not a plan

We stand where others ran

Heat or hail

Fire or storm

Every shape

Becomes a form

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Walls for peace 

Blocks for hope

Tunnels rise

Across the slope

Not a wall

That shuts things out

But frames a world

That won’t burn out

Don’t b - Club Tracke afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!

Soil is cracking

Cities sweat

But we don’t fold

We architect

EXTREMES

Don’t be afraid

of EXTREMES

We have solutions!
