Untangled

(Douglas Butler)

An uplifting anthem of emotional freedom that explores acceptance and growth. The lyric builds from thoughtful verses to a driving, cathartic chorus, featuring strong rhythmic phrasing and a highly memorable hook: “Messy made me magic.” Excellent for Alternative Pop, Indie Pop, or Uplifting Pop/Rock tracks.

[Chorus – Opening] I’m untangled, dancing through the mess, I’m untangled, every no became a yes. I’m untangled, rising from the blur, I’m untangled, stronger, brighter, sure. [Post-Chorus Tag] Messy made me magic, messy made me magic. (Yeah, I’m shining, I’m shining). [Verse 1] I tied my worth to perfect lines, Afraid of echoes, shadows, signs. Now I pull the threads with open hands, Letting go of all the master plans. [Pre-Chorus 1] Ooo, I feel it, Every thread was leading here. Yeah, I’m healing, From the mess, the picture’s clear. [Chorus] I’m untangled, dancing through the mess, I’m untangled, every no became a yes. I’m untangled, rising from the blur, I’m untangled, stronger, brighter, sure. [Post-Chorus Tag] Messy made me magic, messy made me magic. (Yeah, I’m shining, I’m shining). [Verse 2] I used to chase the lines they drew, Living a plan I outgrew. Now I’m spinning threads my way, Weaving stories I can say. [Pre-Chorus 2] Ooo, I’m seeing it, Every loop was leading home. Yeah, I’m blooming, Through the chaos, I have grown. [Chorus] I’m untangled, dancing through the mess, XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX X XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XX XX XXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX X XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XX XXXXXX X XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XXXXX

Whiskey Wallowing

By Derek Carter


A confessional and emotionally heavy lyric, “Whiskey Wallowing” follows a broken man hiding behind liquor, small talk, and temporary company while still clinging to the ghost of a past love. It explores the cycle of self-destruction and denial, where every sip is an escape and every distraction is just a reminder of the one he truly misses.

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.

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.
