Fractured Spectrums

Fractured Spectrums explores what it means to move through a world that feels too loud, too fast, or too bright - and to still find strength in the places where you once felt small. Each track looks at a different kind of inner landscape: the rush of runaway thoughts, the weight of silence, the exhaustion of pretending to "keep up", and the quiet, private victories that come from finally understanding yourself. The songs trace the journey from confusion to clarity, from masking to honesty, from surviving to being seen.

At its heart, the album is about the invisible battles people fight while appearing calm on the outside. It's about the storms behind the smile, the years spent trying to "fit", and the moment you realise you never needed to match anyone else's rhythm to live a full, meaningful life. These songs honour the people who have always felt "different" in ways they could never quite explain - and celebrate the truth that these differences were never flaws, but forms of depth and beauty.

Fractured Spectrums isn't about breaking apart; it's about discovering the colour inside every crack. It's an album for anyone who has ever felt too much, understood too deeply, or carried more than they could say. It's a collection of storms and lights - and the courage to finally claim them as your own.

This song captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world even when nothing "looks" wrong from the outside. It speaks to the experience of being flooded by sound, light, expectations, or social pressure while trying to appear calm - a storm hidden behind a steady face. The lyrics highlight the contrast between how simple everyday life seems for others and how intensely every detail can hit internally.

At its core, Inside the Static is about the quiet battles fought beneath the surface. It gives a voice to the invisible strain of holding everything together, the effort of pushing through environments that drain you, and the strength it takes just to stay grounded. It's a reminder that surviving those moments is not weakness - it's resilience.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The world is loud beneath my skin,
Every sound comes crashing in.
Lights like blades cut through my sight,
Turning daylight into fight.
People talk like nothing's wrong,
But every minute feels too long.
Their easy steps, their simple breath-
While I'm holding back a quiet death.

[Pre-Chorus]
Outside looks calm, outside looks kind,
But inside's a storm I can't unwind.
It's just a second on their face-
For me, a decade trapped in place.

[Chorus]
Inside the static I break, I bend,
Searching for balance I can't defend.
Everyone's fine in the noise they know,
While I'm drowning fast beneath the glow.
I try to run, I try to hide-
But freeze takes hold from the inside.
No more pretending I can manage the panic-
I'm losing myself inside the static.

[Verse 2]
Crowded rooms and shallow air,
Every heartbeat feels like glare.
Little things hit like a war,
Footsteps echo through the floor.
Reaching out feels out of reach,
Just a shadow trying to speak.
They see silence, nothing more-
Not the battles at my core.

[Pre-Chorus]
Outside looks calm, outside looks clear,
But inside burns too loud to hear.
What they call "just choose and go"
Is a thousand thoughts they’ll never know.

[Chorus]
Inside the static I break, I bend,
Searching for balance I can't defend.
Everyone's fine in the noise they know,
While I'm drowning fast beneath the glow.
I try to run, I try to hide-
But freeze takes hold from the inside.
No more pretending I can manage the panic-
I'm losing myself inside the static.

[Bridge – Heavy / Harsh]
Fight or flight comes quick for some,
But I freeze where they’d overcome.
Locked in place with breath held tight-
A silent scream behind the light.
If they could see what I contain,
They’d hear the thunder in my brain.
One small moment, one small sound-
Can tear my whole damn world down.

[Breakdown – Very Heavy]
Can’t escape it,
Can’t outrun it,
Can’t disguise it,
I become it.
Static rising,
Pressure burning-
All my senses
Overturning.

[Final Chorus]
Inside the static I break, I bend,
Searching for balance I can't defend.
They walk through chaos without a trace-
I’m fighting shadows I can’t chase.
I try to run, I try to hide-
But freeze takes hold from the inside.
Still I stand with the world so manic-
Trying to breathe inside the static.

[Outro]
Soft on the surface, broken within-
Waiting for quiet to let me begin.
One steady moment is all that I’ll ask-
Just one breath outside the mask.

This track explores the feeling of having thoughts that move faster than the world around you. Ideas multiply, split, and expand before you can catch them, making it easy to get lost in possibilities, patterns, and mental "echoes" that never slow down. The song paints that rush as both exhilarating and exhausting - a mind that sparks endlessly but rarely rests.

Chasing the Echo is about wanting to stay focused but being swept away by inner storms of inspiration, curiosity, and distraction. It honours people who think in deep, branching ways - and acknowledges how hard it can be to keep pace with a world that moves differently. It's a song for anyone who feels like their mind is always three steps ahead, and sometimes ten steps sideways.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I start a thought, it slips away,
Another rises in its place.
A spark, a thread, a distant call-
I chase it fast, I lose it all.
A hundred tunnels in my head,
Every one pulls at the thread.
I swear I tried to stay on track,
But every path just pulls me back.

[Pre-Chorus]
I dive too deep, I jump too wide-
I’m swallowed by the shifting tide.
One idea turns into ten,
Then I forget where I began.

[Chorus]
I’m chasing the echo, I’m losing the hour,
Running through mind-fields with runaway power.
Every distraction pulls me aside-
I fall through the currents I cannot divide.
I want to stay steady, but I already know:
My mind is a river that never slows.

[Verse 2]
A glimpse of joy, a hidden find-
Another doorway in my mind.
A memory falls, a new one climbs,
I’m skipping stages, losing time.
I drift through pages never turned,
I light the match before it burns.
All these thoughts collide and bend-
Beginnings lost before the end.

[Pre-Chorus]
I dive too deep, I jump too wide-
A restless storm I cannot ride.
One small spark becomes a flare,
Then disappears into the air.

[Chorus]
I’m chasing the echo, I’m losing the hour,
Running through mind-fields with runaway power.
Every distraction pulls me aside-
I fall through the currents I cannot divide.
I want to stay steady, but I already know:
My mind is a river that never slows.

[Bridge – Heavy]
Rabbits run through every door,
I follow one, then chase one more.
The map is gone, the path is split-
I drown inside the heart of it.
Euphoria and static blend-
The rush begins, the focus ends.
Control is just a whispered lie-
I’m pulled apart by reasons why.

[Breakdown – Harsh]
Pull me deeper,
Pull me under,
Thoughts like lightning,
Thoughts like thunder.
No direction,
No returning-
Every spark
Is always burning.

[Final Chorus]
I’m chasing the echo, I’m losing the hour,
Running through mind-fields with runaway power.
I reach for the moment, but I overflow-
Falling through visions I cannot slow.
I want to stay steady, but I already know:
My mind is a river that never slows.

[Outro]
The daylight fades, the night takes hold-
Another thought begins to unfold.
I chase it softly, then let it go-
A quiet truth inside the flow.

This song dives into the hidden preparation many people do before they speak. It reflects the tendency to rehearse conversations, imagine every outcome, and mentally build entire scenarios before a single word is said. What feels small or simple to others can be an emotionally loaded maze for someone who anticipates every possibility.

Deep Conversations uncovers the emotional weight of trying to communicate when your mind is already ten routes deep. It honours the people who overthink because they care, who prepare because uncertainty feels sharp, and who put effort into every interaction even when no one else sees it. The song ultimately celebrates the depth behind those silent inner rehearsals.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before a word leaves my mouth,
I’ve already walked the whole thing out.
A thousand routes, a thousand ends,
All the ways it breaks or bends.
You’ll speak five minutes face-to-face-
I’ve lived five hours in that space.
Every reply you might create,
I’ve argued back with phantom weight.

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it simple, small, or light-
But I’ve rehearsed it all tonight.
One moment you call “off the cuff”
Is a war I’ve already fought enough.

[Chorus]
I’m ten conversations deep
Before you even make a sound.
I’ve seen the futures rise and fall,
Every truth and battleground.
You talk in seconds, clean and plain-
I drown in echoes in my brain.
I chase the threads I cannot keep-
Always ten conversations deep.

[Verse 2]
Planning tasks like shifting sand,
Trying to catch what won’t be planned.
Forks in paths I’ve never walked-
Arguments with thoughts unchalked.
I map out storms that never break,
Prepare for moves you’ll never make.
Control is just a ghost I chase-
A fading outline in a maze.

[Pre-Chorus]
You see a moment straight and clear-
I see a thousand futures near.
Your “maybe later” rolls off smooth-
I feel the whole damn earth move.

[Chorus]
I’m ten conversations deep
Before you even make a sound.
I’ve seen the futures rise and fall,
Every truth and battleground.
You talk in seconds, clean and plain-
I drown in echoes in my brain.
I chase the threads I cannot keep-
Always ten conversations deep.

[Bridge – Chaotic / Harsh]
All the outcomes-
All the endings-
Every version-
Ever bending.
Every moment-
Fractured, breaking-
Every silence-
Overtaking.
Split in pieces,
Overseen-
A mind that moves
Behind the screen.

[Breakdown – Heavy / Screamed]
Can’t escape it!  
Mind’s a labyrinth!  
Simulate it!  
Over-calculate it!  
You live five minutes-
Then you leave…  
I lived five hours  
You’ll never see.

[Final Chorus]
I’m ten conversations deep
Before the world begins to speak.
I’ve battled futures in my head,
Every lived and every dead.
You talk like nothing’s in between-
I’ve walked the spaces never seen.
You step in lightly; I fall steep-
Always ten conversations deep.

[Outro]
Your moment ends; my mind won’t sleep-
Still ten conversations deep.

Never Broken speaks to the pressure to conform - to act "normal", hide your differences, and fit into spaces that were never designed with you in mind. It deals with the exhaustion of trying to change yourself for other people's comfort, only to realise that suppressing your true nature doesn't bring peace, only emptiness.

The song is an anthem of defiance and self-respect. It rejects the idea that someone should shrink to be acceptable and embraces the truth that you were never flawed for being different. Never Broken is a reclaiming of identity: a proud, fierce statement that your voice, your pace, and your way of seeing the world were never mistakes.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They told me I should slow it down,
Tame the fire, mute the sound.
Said the world moves in a single pace,
And I should learn to take my place.
Little pills to make me right,
Hide the spark, dim the light.
But every dose just felt untrue-
A borrowed shape I pushed into.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to bend, I tried to change,
But all I felt was something strange.
The world was loud, the world was wrong,
And I was quiet far too long.

[Chorus]
Why must I shift to fit the mold?
Why must my colors all be sold?
If this is how it’s meant to be,
Then tell me-who decides what’s “me”?
I won’t stay silent, won’t stay frozen.
I was never lost. I was never broken.

[Verse 2]
Every rule they wrote in stone
Was never built for hearts like mine.
They said “belonging” had a cost,
But paying it felt like being lost.
Walk the line, don’t step aside,
Fold your edges, learn to hide.
But I’ve grown tired of shrinking thin-
A world like that should let me in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to bend, I tried to change,
But all I felt was something strange.
The world was loud, the world was wrong,
And I’ve been quiet far too long.

[Chorus]
Why must I shift to fit the mold?
Why must my colors all be sold?
If this is how it’s meant to be,
Then tell me-who decides what’s “me”?
I won’t stay silent, won’t stay frozen.
I was never lost. I was never broken.

[Bridge]
Maybe normal isn’t them,
Maybe it’s me, and always been.
Maybe the world should make some space
For those who live outside its pace.
I won’t swallow who I am,
Just to make the noise feel calm.
Let them call me strange or wild-
I’ve always been my truest self inside.

[Final Chorus]
Why must I shift to fit the mold?
Why must my heartbeat be controlled?
If this is all the world can see,
Then it’s the world that’s out of key.
I won’t stay silent, won’t stay frozen.
I was never lost. I was never broken.

[Outro]
No more hiding, no more disguise-
This is my truth, unclenched and wise.
Normal isn’t what they’ve chosen-
Normal is me. I was never broken.

This track reflects on a life spent adapting, copying, and quietly observing, only to realise years later that your inner world worked differently all along. It's a journey through childhood, adulthood, and parenthood seen through a lens of late-in-life self-understanding - the moment when everything finally clicks into place.

Always Me is gentle, warm, and reflective. It's not about regret but about clarity - the bittersweet recognition that you were always yourself, even when you didn't have the words for it. The song honours the quiet victories and the unseen struggles, celebrating the beauty of discovering your true identity at any age.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grew up on a normal street,
Knew the cracks in every footpath.
Walked to school, head down, slow feet,
Just tried not to stand out or laugh.
Didn’t talk too loud in class,
Watched how others knew the way.
Thought that quiet meant I’d pass,
And I guess I did most days.

[Chorus]
It all seemed fine, it all seemed fair,
Just life rolling like the air.
But there were moments I can see,
That never fit quite right with me.
And now the years have drawn their line,
I see what I missed all this time.

[Verse 2]
Got a job, kept my word,
Learned the rules, kept my head down.
Built a life, loved who I could,
Stayed close to this old town.
Raised my kids the best I knew,
Watched them grow and find their part.
They taught me things I never knew,
About my own quiet heart.

[Chorus]
It all seemed fine, it all seemed true,
Just the things that people do.
But through their eyes I came to find,
A world that thought another kind.
And now the truth comes clear in time,
I see myself in their design.

[Bridge]
Old friends talk of restless years,
The masks we wore to disappear.
The jokes we missed, the noise, the crowd,
The things we never said out loud.
And though it hurts to see it plain,
I wouldn’t trade the joy or pain.

[Final Chorus]
It all was fine, it all was mine,
A life of simple borrowed time.
Wouldn’t change a single day,
It made me me in every way.
And now with older clearer eyes,
I see the me that hid inside.

[Outro]
Streetlights hum, the house is still,
I sit and watch the windowsill.
No regrets, no need to hide,
I’ve been me all this time.

This song is about breaking free from lifelong habits of masking - softening your voice, hiding your reactions, downplaying your needs, and carrying sensory or emotional struggles in silence. The "echochain" represents the repeating patterns, the mental loops, and the learned behaviours that kept you small.

The track celebrates the moment someone finally refuses to shrink anymore. It's about reclaiming your voice, embracing your differences, and stepping into the world unfiltered for the first time. Echochain is a liberation song - heavy, fierce, and triumphant.

Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken/Rap]
All the thoughts, all the futures,
All the echoes in my mind-
Every moment lived a thousand times
Before I ever cross the line.

[Verse 1 – Rap]
I rehearsed every word you’ll say,
Play out the endings ten different ways.
Five-minute talk for you is clean,
For me it’s a war you’ve never seen.
I map the paths, I chase the threads,
I lose the minutes in my head.
You move simple, straight and true-
I live whole lifetimes next to you.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
I keep on trying to stay aligned,
But I fall through edges of my mind.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Backing]
I’m breaking through the fractured spectrums-
Rising from the storms inside.
All the noise, the light, the pressure-
I won’t run, I won’t divide.
I’ve masked the pain, I’ve burned in silence,
Held my breath while worlds collide-
But now I’m tearing down the boundaries-
This is me, unbound, alive.

[Verse 2 – Rap]
Sensory hits like a firing squad,
Every sound too sharp, too loud.
You walk calm through crowded space-
I’m fighting shadows face-to-face.
Pulling futures from the air,
Preparing storms that won’t be there.
You see moments; I see more-
Every fork behind each door.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
I chase control, I chase the calm,
But chaos keeps me in its palm.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Backing]
I’m breaking through the fractured spectrums-
Rising from the storms inside.
All the noise, the light, the pressure-
I won’t run, I won’t divide.
I’ve masked the pain, I’ve burned in silence,
Held my breath while worlds collide-
But now I’m tearing down the boundaries-
This is me, unbound, alive.

[Bridge – Harsh]
All the overload-
All the ghosts inside-
All the worlds I lived-
Just to stay alive.
All the shattered thoughts-
All the hidden screams-
I’ve been drowning in
Unspoken dreams.

[Breakdown – Rap + Harsh]
Every second-
Overthinking-
Every pathway-
Splitting, sinking.
Every conversation-
Simulated-
All my choices-
Overrated.
You talk minutes-
I talk hours-
I face storms-
You face showers.

[Final Chorus – Clean + Harsh + Layered]
I’m breaking through the fractured spectrums-
No more chains around my mind.
All the futures, all the spirals-
I won’t fear what makes me shine.
I’ve lived a life behind the curtains,
Held my truth in shadowed light-
But now I rise above the chaos-
This is me, in full, tonight.

[Outro – Soft Clean]
No more hiding,
No more hollow-
I am whole,
And I will follow.
All the pieces I’ve denied-
This is me-
Unbound inside.

Overclocked captures the sensation of a mind running faster than the world expects - processing too much at once, making connections instantly, and experiencing mental "surges" that others can't see. What appears calm on the outside is a whirl of rapid analysis, prediction, and inner energy.

This song honours both the power and the pressure of that state. It acknowledges how overwhelming it can be, but also how brilliant and alive it feels. Overclocked is a celebration of intensity - of thinking fast, feeling deeply, and operating at full voltage.

Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Clean]
I feel the surge beneath my skin,
A thousand thoughts all rushing in.
Before the world has made a sound,
I’ve run the futures underground.
You see a moment sharp and small-
I see the rise, the break, the fall.
You breathe once and then move on-
I’ve lived an hour before it’s gone.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
I try to hold the line in place,
But every thought outruns the pace.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Accents]
I’m overclocked, I’m burning bright,
Running faster than the world can fight.
All the storms that fill my head,
All the paths that spin instead-
You walk steady, clean, intact,
I bend futures, fold them back.
I won’t break, I won’t be stopped-
This is me-
Overclocked.

[Verse 2 – Clean]
The smallest spark can split the sky,
A branching truth I can’t deny.
One idea becomes a tide,
Crashing hard from deep inside.
You see calm; I feel the quake,
Every choice a fault line’s break.
You call life a simple track-
I live ten worlds that pull me back.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
I chase the calm, I chase the light,
But chaos rises without sight.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Accents]
I’m overclocked, I’m burning bright,
Running faster than the world can fight.
All the storms that fill my head,
All the paths that spin instead-
You walk steady, clean, intact,
I bend futures, fold them back.
I won’t break, I won’t be stopped-
This is me-
Overclocked.

[Bridge – Harsh Vocals]
Overloaded-
Overdriven-
Every fractured
Thought forbidden.
Circuits firing-
Uncontrolled-
All my systems
Running bold.

[Breakdown – Harsh]
Overloaded-
Overdriven-
Every fractured
Thought forbidden.
Circuits firing-
Uncontrolled-
All my systems
Running bold.

[Final Chorus – Clean + Harsh Layers]
I’m overclocked, I’m burning bright,
I won’t dim to match your sight.
All the bursts they call "too much"
Are the sparks that make me such.
You walk straight, untouched, intact-
I bend futures, pull them back.
I’m not broken, not outmatched-
This is me-
Overclocked.

[Outro – Clean]
Even when my pulse runs wild,
Every piece is still my style.
I’m not lost, I’m not blocked-
This is me-
Overclocked.

This track is about breaking away from internal and external expectations - from rules that were never meant for you, from pressures to "tone down," from fears of saying the wrong thing or being misunderstood. It reflects the experience of mapping out futures before they happen and navigating emotions that hit too hard or too fast.

Unbound is a declaration of freedom. It expresses the moment you stop apologising for how your mind works, stop carrying the weight of fitting in, and finally let yourself exist without constraint. It's energetic, cathartic, and victorious - the sound of releasing years of held breath.

No more hiding,
No more hollow-
I am whole,
And I will follow.
All the pieces I’ve denied-

Unbound inside.

Quiet Light is the emotional conclusion of the album - a reflection on a lifetime spent navigating a world that often felt overwhelming or mismatched. The song walks through memories, struggles, breakthroughs, and the soft, surprising moments of connection that made the journey meaningful.

It’s about finding peace after years of internal storms - not because the world changed, but because understanding finally arrived. Quiet Light recognises the resilience in people who live with constant inner noise, and honours the gentle impact they’ve had on others despite (or because of) their struggles. It ends the album with acceptance, forgiveness, and a sense of earned calm.

Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Clean]
I’ve lived a lifetime in this mind,
Too many paths, too many lines.
A thousand storms behind my eyes,
A thousand masks in shifting skies.
You saw the surface calm and thin,
You never knew the storm within.
And now I stand in aging skin,
Still wondering where I’ve been.

[Verse 2 – Clean]
I walk through rooms that hold my past,
Moments blurred but shadows last.
All the noise I braved alone,
All the thoughts that felt like home.
People passed like quiet rain,
Soft goodbyes and deeper pain.
I tried to match the world’s design,
While holding different gears inside.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
And looking back, the truth unfolds:
I lived ten lives in a single soul.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Accents]
Now I stand in the last quiet light,
Looking over the years I survived.
Every wound and every flame,
All the fear I tried to tame-
Pulled me through the endless strain,
Even when I fell in vain.
If I reached one heart in time,
Then this long road
Was worth the climb.

[Verse 3 – Clean]
Times I froze when others spoke,
Times their words felt like a choke.
Times I ran from glare and sound,
Times I felt the world spin round.
But somewhere in that fractured maze,
I found a spark in hidden ways-
One small moment, one small flame,
That held another through their pain.

[Verse 4 – Clean]
Memory twists like tangled thread,
Scenes half-lived inside my head.
Some I planned a thousand ways,
Then watched them fade into the haze.
But even when the moments burned,
Even when the lessons turned,
I held onto one quiet truth:
The world is moved by gentle proof.

[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
And though the years were sharp and steep,
Somewhere love was buried deep.

[Chorus – Clean + Harsh Layers]
Now I stand in the last quiet light,
Looking over the years I survived.
Every wound and every flame,
All the fear I tried to tame-
Pulled me through the endless strain,
Even when I fell in vain.
If I reached one heart in time,
Then this long road
Was worth the climb.

[Bridge – Harsh]
All the pressure,
All the sound-
All the ways I
Nearly drowned.
All the signals,
All the scars-
All the thoughts like
Falling stars.
All the years that
Pulled me tight-
Still I held
Through endless night.

[Bridge – Clean (Answer)]
And still I wished
For one clear day-
Where I could feel
I’d found my way.
But even lost,
I gave a light
To someone fighting
Through their night.

[Breakdown – Harsh]
Fall apart!
Break again!
I survived
Through all the strain!
Every fracture!
Every freeze!
Still I rose from
Trembling knees!
Echoes screaming!
Heart undone!
But even broken-
I helped someone!

[Verse 5 – Clean (Quiet, Reflective)]
So now I breathe this older air,
Feeling lighter than despair.
Tomorrow’s weight no longer mine,
The past now soft, undefined.
But somewhere on the roads behind,
Someone’s life aligned with mine.
And if I helped them make it through-
Maybe that was meaning too.

[Final Chorus – Clean + Harsh Final Layer]
Now I stand in the last quiet light,
Looking back with softer sight.
All the chaos, all the strain-
Built the person I became.
Even when the world felt loud,
Even when I wore a shroud-
If I changed one life in time,
Then this whole story
Was worth the fight.

[Outro – Clean, Soft]
And as the evening drifts to slow,
I finally let the echoes go.
For all I lost and all I gained,
I’d walk it all-
The joy, the pain.
And in the end, I know I tried.
A quiet peace
In an unquiet mind.
Here in the last
Quiet light-
I’m finally
On my side.
