Monster in the Mirror

Dry your eyes, the time has come to rectify
The world you lost, sits within your pile of lies
Cast aside, the world you've chosen to create
Now's the time, to face the shadows of your faith
Common and cry your tears, my sweet dear
See the reflection, of the monster in the mirror

And I'm wondering when...
It's half past ten
And I'm wondering when
You're coming home?
You're coming home?
It's half past ten
It's half past ten
And I'm wondering when
You're coming home?
You're coming home?
And I'm staring up at that
Starry sky
Asking the twilight
Asking the twilight...

Strap in we're going for a ride
Across the plains of love we drive
Top speed our burning desire
Let our love ignite the fire
Top down as we chase the sun
Two hearts meld into one
Give me your love energy
This romance be the last thing they see
This is designer love

What do, what do, what do you do?
You've got to turn back to live your life.
What do, what do, what do you do?
What do you do?
Now that you've built all these walls
To escape the pain
To live you're life in vain
You're just running away
You've got to turn back
You've got to face your sins
You've got to live your life
Without running away
You're just running away

It's a system of worries, that keeps me from being free

X5s San Diego, California
Born in CA and raised on 80's synthpop I spent my youth listening to all kinds of music and playing way too many video games. I've been a hobby producer of music for over 15 years with a wide range of styles.
X5s recommends:
Take everything you know about vaporwave / synthwave and combine it with the big room snares and synths of Italio Disco / Hi-NRG. This album had me dancing from the first to last track.

Hearts LP
by Blackbird Blackbird
Wispy distant vocals like Postal Service over future funk beats. This is an album I keep coming back to when I need a second to cool off and clear my mind.
go to album
The 80's will never die and acts like The Midnight keep the fire alive. The clean and crisp analog synths are to die for. Combined with the great vocals this album yearns for a night drive.

Girls on Bikes / Boys on Boards (24-bit)

Throwback, video-game inspired music that evokes every pastel color of the ’80s with its sprightly electronics.
