Shade

(Erika Poling)

What's so bad about black lipstick? This song might throw shade at it.

[Intro]

If eyes are the windows to the soul
Then mine probably look like shattered glass reflecting a broken home

My heart is just a thing to deteriorate
I don’t have one anymore  
I’m heartless, so don’t beat on my door


[Verse 1]

I wrote your name in the darkest shade of black lipstick 
And I let the pigment sink in until it broke through a thin layer of my iced skin 

A once perfectly blank sheet reveals a small piece of what was hidden beneath
It’s one of all those secrets that I keep, but my secrets like to play hide-and-go-seek
And so don’t you 
You bring up the past and all the cracks that are buried in me, and you know they’re under my feet 

I started bleeding out the day I gave your ink meaning 
Because all of it eventually comes to the surface 
And I’m bursting at the seams 
It crumbles in parts when it’s only skin deep 

And when the landmarks lead to the mysteries of the heart 
It takes the biggest hit just to be left with the deadliest scars 


[Chorus] X2

But a disaster can be a blessing in disguise, but I think 
All you’ll find in you are imaginary beliefs and real wise lies
When you thought you were a wise guy 
It’s the worst when I start to believe mine 

And I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt  
I should’ve asked what your words were worth
Since talk is cheap, well then you can’t afford me 
If your speech were to spill in diamonds then you would’ve cut all of your teeth 

And if eyes are the windows to the soul
Then mine probably look like shattered glass reflecting a broken home

My heart is just a thing to deteriorate
I don’t have one anymore  
I’m heartless, so don’t beat on my door

My heart is just a thing to deteriorate
I don’t have one anymore  
I’m heartless, so don’t beat on my door

[Outro] X2 

Don’t beat on my door anymore
Don’t beat on my door anymore 
Because I wrote your name in the darkest shade of black lipstick 
And I let the pigment sink in until it broke through a thin layer of my iced skin

Cat Eyes (Amber)

By Erika Poling

Amber gold (often confused for hazel) inspired the lyrics and melody. *open for interpretation* It means whatever the reader understands, if that makes sense.

Queendom of Contentment

By Erika Poling

How I created the song/lyrics: The first verse starts out lower and works it's way up to a soprano C or higher (one-sided). The pre-chorus is higher pitched also. But then, the chorus switches to a melody similar to "Heavy Cross," by the band Gossip. The second verse is similar in pitch (high) to the second part of the first verse; but the second part of the second verse (starting with "Oh, my violet sky") is a lower pitch like the first part of the first verse. I think incorporating a "Billie Eilish" whisper style with a lower, stronger, and harder style-- it would really bring out the meaning of the song and make it more artistic.

High on Past Lives

By Erika Poling

I wrote this after attending past-life regression therapy. I have a scientific and artistic mind so I discovered a psychological alternative in combination with my current psychiatrist's perspective. I wanted an answer a little more thorough and artistic than science; and I found the answers to the questions asked by the creative aspects of my personality.

Cool Mountain Air

By Brian Hendrix

I was driving up the mountain to visit my brother and I remarked to my mother who was driving that the air must have dropped about 20 degrees halfway up. It was very chilly, and I guess this song sorta floated in on the wind, as the entire time at my brother's house I was looking to write this chorus down before I forgot it. The rest of the song built around that, and I'm really thrilled about the final result and how this came out in the end. This is a situation a lot of rural/southern people go through. People close to us don't feel stuck to the land; they feel drawn to the big city. We often wish they'd come on home, where they belong.
