Out of your Cage

(Bethany Grundy)

These lyrics tell a powerful story of breaking free from control and reclaiming identity. Blending raw emotion with bold, cinematic imagery, the song moves from fear and silence to strength and self-liberation. With its rising energy and anthemic chorus, it captures the moment someone steps out of their cage and becomes unstoppable.

[Intro] 
I used to shrink so small 
In the shadows of your walls 
Every word a chain 
Every glance, a fall 
 
[Verse 1] 
You dressed your lies in velvet truth 
Played the king, stole all my youth 
Every rule you made was tight 
I forgot how to fight 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
But I see through your smoke and your mirrors now 
No more bending just to please somehow 
 
[Chorus] 
I’m out of your cage, I’m breathing again 
Cut the wires, broke free from your hands 
You don’t own the sky, you don’t rule my name 
I’m not your pawn in your twisted game 
I’m fire now, I rise unchained 
Out of your cage, I’m not the same 
 
[Verse 2] 
You called it love, but it was fear 
Spoke so loud, I couldn’t hear 
The sound of me beneath the noise 
You crushed my will, stole my voice 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
But I rewrote the map in my heart last night 
Packed the truth and left your ghost behind 
 
[Chorus] 
I’m out of your cage, I’m breathing again 
Cut the wires, broke free from your hands 
You don’t own the sky, you don’t rule my name 
I’m not your pawn in your twisted game 
I’m fire now, I rise unchained

Opiate

By Bethany Grundy

This piece dives into the intoxicating side of love—the kind that slips under your skin slowly and leaves you chasing a high you know you shouldn’t want. Wrapped in hypnotic imagery and emotional tension, the lyrics explore devotion, dependency, and the quiet danger of someone who feels as soothing as an escape… and as consuming as an addiction. Every line balances softness with threat, warmth with withdrawal. It’s a love song with teeth—sensual, atmospheric, and hauntingly relatable for anyone who’s ever been pulled into a connection too powerful to resist. Perfect for fans of moody pop, dark electronica, and slow-burn emotional storytelling.

Voice Inside My Head

By Derek Carter

“Voice Inside My Head” is a high-intensity lyric that captures the overwhelming pressure of intrusive thoughts and inner turmoil. With relentless repetition and explosive frustration, it portrays a mind under siege—sarcastic, accusatory, and impossible to silence. The lyric builds into a chaotic battle against one’s own thoughts, where every moment of quiet becomes torture and every breath feels like a fight for control. Raw, energetic, and brutally honest, this is a gripping look at mental warfare from the inside.

My Paper Sky

By Douglas Butler

An uplifting anthem of escape and imagination with an immediately memorable, chant-like chorus ("This is my paper sky"). The lyric translates the joy of finding peace in a story into a cathartic, high-energy hook. Excellent for Indie Pop, Uplifting Pop/Rock, or Anthemic Festival tracks.

A Vow of Blood and Bone

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This song is loosely based on the poem Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I had so much fun writing "She Walks the Graveyard" that I decided to create one with an even more Gothic theme. I found an old poem which I had, at first, intended to update for modern times but the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to keep the story, let alone modernize it. I love the Gothic theme of the poem, rich with moonlit woods, spectral presences, and ambiguous evil. However, as I started writing it, the more I wanted to twist the tale into something completely different. I hope you enjoy reading these lyrics when we enter into the season of pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and hobgoblins, or just whenever the mood strikes.

tired of pain

By Laura Spendlingwimmer

I wrote this song after I broke up with my ex boyfriend - I was trying so hard on this relationship and I really wanted it to work but somehow I was the only one who was fighting - after the breakup I was so down and sad and heartbroken because I just wanted a love that lasts and that is real and this is what the song is about - I doubted myself being enough

Exit Interview with God

By Dawn Wilson

It has always disturbed me how some parents, children, or friends can calmly accept an idea that their loved ones might burn for an ETERNITY while they walk the streets of gold, playing harps, or whatever. It’s sad that so many millions of people cling to the cruellest, most horrendous god belief because they are afraid of hell. You have to be some kind of monster, yourself, to truly worship a god that would have created eternal torment for finite crimes. Especially, the crime of disbelief. If I actually believed for one moment that…wait, I honestly did believe it. For three years, from the age of 12 to 15, I was tormented by the idea of my family being tortured forever and ever. Their only crime? Disbelief. I was willing to suffer that same fate because the idea of a heaven without them was unthinkable to me. When I left the church, I fully believed I would go to hell and I didn’t care because I was done worshipping a monster.

Afraid of Beauty

By Stefan Timic

A fierce rush of obsession and desire, beauty that overwhelms, breath stolen by attraction, and a mind losing control under the weight of irresistible temptation.
