I have always wanted to write a song based on my human experience, and to this day, I feel like I have not captured it that well yet. "For Angels To Come" is the best attempt I have.

Since "Search For Control" is based around the premise that I have no control and the search thereof feels fruitless when we look at various aspects of our lives—like what jobs we do, what thoughts we have, or even the fact that we are born—this song tries to explore that perspective a bit more closely.

I could do a line-by-line breakdown of the song, but I thought that would remove the fun of it a bit. It's about me, visualizing how I'm having an astral projection experience, staring at my own body down there. I am so removed from myself emotionally, and in this moment I have escaped my own mind.

I have always struggled to feel like myself. I never felt like I could just be me, moreso because I never knew who that was. I imagined being various archetypes: the cool guy, the smart guy, the one who is confident, the athlete, the Casanova. But I realized that I am none of them, and simultaneously all of them if I so choose.

The line "Make me feel like me" brings home that point. I don't feel like me, or the person I'm supposed to be. I feel like nothing sometimes, and everything other times. This metaphysical self-reflection digs deep into my psyche to try to find grounding in an otherwise untethered state.

I am this being, sometimes so burdened by my own thoughts that I wish angels would just come and take me away, and carry me to a better place. But at the same time, I have these hopes and dreams—these wishes that one day I will love someone as they love me. Love and be loved. How simple a wish, but it always felt so impossible to reach for me. It seemed that others found it so easily, like falling into something they don't even second guess.

And that is what the song is about. A self-exploration into myself.

I have to give huge thanks to Voidscape for making this amazing cover art. He currently takes on commissions if you're interested in something similar.

I remember the exact moment this track started forming in my head—it was after a PHFAT concert. There was something about his raw, electronic energy that just clicked for me. The way he twisted synths into something chaotic yet controlled. I left that show itching to experiment, to push my own sound into darker, synth-driven territory.

The Sound

I started with a simple arpeggiated synth—that hypnotic loop you hear right at the beginning. It felt like the perfect foundation, something repetitive but evolving. From there, I layered punchy drums and sharp snares, then drenched parts of it in caustic industrial FX—little distortions, glitches, anything to make it feel alive, almost unstable.

The Lyrics

I’ve never really leaned into social commentary before, but the vibe of the track demanded something sharp. I wanted it to be direct but impactful, something that sticks. The first words that came to me were:

"I’m living life on the stage."

It felt right—like that moment when nothing else exists but the music, the crowd, the energy. It’s a headspace, an escape from this dystopian universe that is very much real - how our minds are being controlled by social media and the like. The rest of the lyrics built around that idea, playing with the tension between freedom and gratification, where envy is the real currency.

The Finish

The first mix came together within a day or so—one of those rare times when everything just flows. No overthinking, no second-guessing. And judging by the response? It’s a hit.

This track was a turning point for me—heavier, synth-driven, unapologetic. If this is the direction my sound is heading, I’m all for it.

"Mind Control Paradise" is out now—go lose yourself in it.
