Zenith

Tracklist Early Proposal...
Ideas for songs and order of songs are as follows. My goal is to sound like Silverchair/Nirvana/Local H and a few other grunge bands with a twist of techno and industrial noises. This will be another "art of life" album with its pure negative sides but will end on a happy note, then a reflective song... A step above grunge/goth I hope.

01 born
about being young and naive, quiet and sheltered

02 snakes
about school, friends, bad friend trickery, trusting too easily, and isolation

03 forest fire
about partying and losing yourself in the 90s when no one gave a shit

04 quiet
about a friend who seemed like a killer, and myself, also quiet. I'm pretty sure the dude secretly wanted to kill me and I never knew why. Maybe because my quiet was far different than his.

05 vulture clash
a heavy psychotic track about being bullied and hated all through most of school

06 succubus
another heavy psychotic track about terrible relationships with ridiculous people, none in particular, though each noteworthy one has a line or two maybe of the overall main idea as additive signature tolls on my brain. Why you should steer clear of pre-adult sex with stupid people or drugs to begin with, as if I didn't already know.

07 faces
about a strongly narcissistic ex-friend

08 late grave
a heavy fuck you song to the same friend, spelling his name to call him out specifically in the lines. Imagine Jon Davis and the guy from pantera had an angry baby and yelled with extreme emotion at a trusted friend now complete enemy. It'll hopefully be pretty intense.

09 deep dive
another song about losing yourself to depression and anxiety

10 oceans
a song about suicidal contemplations and even attempts, with song splices from lyrics around the times of 1996-1999. It ends the depressing portion before the last song. Its very primitive right now and doesn't mention dying enough lol. I also wrote it before a lot of others and it doesn't really fit as it is now. Its also about getting thrown a medical label for my "condition" and never accepting it.

11 sappy trees
a cheezy metaphoric love song, also a poem to my wife about when we met and our struggles

12 together
another one, this time the title track to an ep I made for my wife

13 sprouts
about my step kids and life in general no longer being as negative, like how parents keep their kids from being sad, it can be both ways.

14 blank paper
a future tense song, again for my wife, about a potential future and building upon a dream.

15 zenith
the name means peak, it's about feeling on top of the world.

16 the drive home
about revisiting my home town again, with circling bad memories each time, then leaving it behind to 'drive home.'
