In the driver’s seat Weaving through the steel parade In our daily procession Speed is liberty While my mind is free to drift In and out of aggression
Piloting a death machine Peaceful and hypnotizing Laying down to fall asleep Stressful and worrying Predisposed to ruminate Over some nebulous fate Get your priorities straight
In a quiet room Lurk imaginary beasts Rising as the world slumbers What may never be Ribbons drifting in the wind Yet I can’t help but wonder
In the here and now Let our hearts be undisturbed By the blossoming chaos
In the driver’s seat Weaving through the steel parade In our daily procession Speed is liberty While my mind is free to drift In and out of aggression
Piloting a death machine Peaceful and hypnotizing Laying down to fall asleep Stressful and worrying Predisposed to ruminate Over some nebulous fate Get your priorities straight
In a quiet room Lurk imaginary beasts Rising as the world slumbers What may never be Ribbons drifting in the wind Yet I can’t help but wonder
In the here and now Let our hearts be undisturbed By the blossoming chaos
Your thoughts are never dangerous Accept them without prejudice The only passage out is through What you resist comes back to you
You think your house a cluttered mess (these patterns) Wrangling with uninvited guests (like phantoms) Who vandalize your furniture (don’t chase them) Be grateful for each visitor
Thoughts can’t hurt you Don’t usher them away Thoughts can’t hurt you Invite them to stay Thoughts can’t hurt you They whisper like a breeze If you keep the doors open They’ll come and go as they please
Can’t reason your way out of this (unravels) There’s no one here to bargain with (like shadows) Who do you think you’re talking to? (point backward) That voice you hear, it isn’t you

I never set out to make a “dark” record.
It just sort of happened. Over the past two years, I wrote about whatever I was feeling at the time, and certain themes naturally emerged.
While I’ve endured more than my fair share of challenges recently, I assure you this isn’t some thinly disguised cry for help! I’ve always been fascinated with bleak subject matter. The older I get, the more eager I am to explore the shadowy depths of the human spirit.
Rest assured, it’s not all death and decay. There’s plenty of optimism to balance things out. In fact, the set kicks off with what might be my most hopeful song yet.
Is it my best album? Quite possibly. It’s certainly the best sounding! It’s also noteworthy because, for the first time, I did all the design and layout myself.
The allure of potential and the thrill of the moment intertwine, as emotions are captured like photographs. “The Darkroom” explores the intensity of momentary passions and the dance between desire and expression.

“She’s Made of Wires” is an exploration of loneliness, desire, and the search for authenticity in an increasingly artificial world. The lyrics follow a protagonist entwined in a romantic relationship with a robot. Despite the near-perfect nature of his artificial partner, he yearns for the genuine emotional connection that only a human lover can provide.
She hums underneath the covers We share a bed but not a soul She’s wearing a suit of armor And her touch is always cold
But somewhere in that uncanny valley We built a life, a sort of family I almost convince myself I’m happy She’s made of wires, she’s made of wires
She’s nearly perfect Romantically superhuman But she isn’t you
We’re mutually codependent I’m both her master and her slave Obedient and efficient I long to see her misbehave
But I am her God, her one religion This is the stuff of science fiction Tells me she loves me with conviction She’s made of wires, she’s made of wires
She worships my imperfections This mess of blood and guts and germs No matter how much I love her We’ll never be on equal terms
I wonder if we could make her jealous She’s not the type to be possessive Just one kiss and she would get the message She’s good at math, she’s good at math

To celebrate the release of Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album, here’s a longer version of my “Ghosts Again” cover with some minor mix improvements.
The one consistent piece of feedback I received on my cover was that it’s too short. At 3:36, it’s still short for an “extended mix,” but probably about where it should’ve been from the beginning.
Now I’m off to listen to a new album from my all-time favorite band! It’s been far too long.
Growing up, I always thought The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” was a perfect love song, even though some lines didn’t sit well with me.
I imagine that will be most listeners’ experience with “The Serious One.” At first blush, it sounds like a sincere declaration of fully requited love. A careful reading between the lines hints that things are not as they seem and that our trusty narrator may not be worthy of that trust.
I’ll leave it at that, but I’d love to hear what you take from the song!
Oh yeah - the lyrics refer to being “your straight man.” In case it’s not clear, that’s one person’s role in a comedy duo, not a declaration of heterosexuality!
80s lyrics are prone to hyperbole. Modern English promised to "stop the world and melt with you." Hearing the song on the radio as a kid, I never once considered what a ridiculous assertion that was.
In this song, I vow to "place the ocean in your hands," "melt the desert with your smile," and "map the stars to your astrology."
Way back in the early aughts, I was mastering engineer for American synthpop label A Different Drum. Signed to that label was no other than Martin Permer with his project Capsize. I had the pleasure of mastering both the lead single and the album.
Who knew that 16 years later we’d have the opportunity to work together again? After remixing each other’s work, we decided to record a duet.
It started with Martin arranging an instrumental demo. I added vocal melodies, wrote the lyrics, and recorded my vocal parts. A month later Christina recorded her parts and Martin sent me an early mix. We went back and forth on mixing tweaks, mastering, and finally cover art.
The song is a conversation between two lovers who shared a turbulent relationship. Of course, every important relationship involves conflict. Many of us don’t resolve that conflict in a way that, looking back over the years, we can feel proud of.
The subjects of the song reach just that sort of resolution together, coming to terms with their regrets over what might have been and wishing each other the best.
If only I handled my relationships with such maturity in real life. 🫠
Our history tells a twisted story Yet part of me just can’t seem to move on (I haven’t forgotten) But you want to (This isn’t a contest) Maybe for you
But we can never go back Been there, done that, lost track Trying to keep the score We fought for hollow rewards Fell on our swords Winning battles to lose the war I wish you happiness I wish you happiness
And now that there’s nothing left to fight for The animus long since faded away (I think of you fondly) And I of you (Remember the good times) I often do
You said I’d be the death of you Now I only want the best for you
Rogue VHS produced a wonderful remix of my song “Wrath” that does an emotional 180 on the lyrics. What began as a litany of complaints now hints at celebration.
Any important relationship involves conflict. Wrath is about the sort of stormy alliance that somehow works in its own dysfunctional way, building up rather than tearing down both parties.
If ever I could be accused of making an artistic statement, this is it.
“The Darkness” explores the otherworldly quality of the predawn hours (especially after a drink or two). The world is cast in softened lines and gentle shapes, and far-off buildings shimmer with an almost magical glow.
THE DARKNESS
I am the night All your grievances and pain Are swallowed whole In the black of my domain
We belong outside Walking bleary-eyed Through the empty streets Where the monsters meet In the darkness
We stand alone In a world of vacant cars Let nothing change Underneath these dying stars
In the status quo Of the streetlamp’s glow I will feast on you As the shadows do In the darkness
But I’m torn away By the light of day Stark and methodical In this frame Nothing looks the same Landmarks of my daily life Glimmer with magic by night
When you get tired There’s a mattress on the floor If you undress I won’t pressure you for more
I’ll lay by your side Still but satisfied Counting phantom sheep As the lonely weep In the darkness
Ben (Manchester, UK) and I (Los Angeles, USA) wrote this retro 80s-themed song for anyone experiencing depression or going through a difficult period, to remind them that everything will work out in time. As the mind processes a painful event, the waves of grief and trauma get weaker every time they resurface, like an echo.
I know you’re feeling broken inside Like there's a fog over everything in your life But just give it time I know you’ll get through this
You’re just caught in the after-effects But every wave will hit you with less violence It’s just the natural process And you’ll get through this
I know you’re feeling like just giving up You don’t believe me but you’re strong enough This pain won’t last forever Time will make it better
Don’t you let go Don’t you let go It hurts now I know But it's just an echo It’s just an echo It’s just an echo The end of a shadow It's the last stop on the road home
I know the pain is screaming so loud But it gets quieter every time it comes around Just let it play out And you’ll get through this
Have you ever known someone who can reliably coax you out of your hiding place? Who's presence effortlessly compels you to lower your guard? Who pierces straight through your insecurities to reveal your best self?
“Crystal” is an uncharacteristically optimistic song about just that sort of person.
What’s precious inside me Won’t let itself be known To come out of hiding Is to end up alone
No I won’t break down in front of you Oh of all the stupid things to do
I won’t let you in I won’t cross the line I’ve been burnt too many times I want to believe Want to be alive Look into my crystal eyes Where a shout of joy Is waiting to be born Is waiting to be born
You slice me right open A dazzling crystal blade So thin I can’t feel it So fast I can’t evade
And you cut right to the heart of it And it only hurt a little bit

No one said it would be this easy Winning me over by degrees She sings happy songs in minor keys And it makes me feel blissfully sad
Give me all you got I can’t get enough I can’t get enough of
Love in hard times Obvious rhymes Simple truths convincingly said Don’t get worked up Take a shortcut jitterbug Put one foot ahead It’s a cakewalk
When life is a one-sided contest Every day brings another conquest Fear the worst and hope for the best But no future is truthfully bad

Another stupid lovesong In which I do all my own stunts Such a disappointment It's like I'm running out of thoughts
And you may say I've lost my touch But if you don't expect too much
Here we go...
Feeling strange but I like it Pouring out like a faucet Rushing forth to greet you
Running red like a carpet Bleeding out open-hearted Wouldn't it be nice to
I'm tired of feeling restless You draw the air out of my lungs A second adolescence Teenagers tripping on their tongues
And you may say I've lost my mind But I'm content to leave it behind
Give me a sign Give me a signal Want to be smart Want to be careful Now you're coming over
Loneliness is a virtue Staying out after curfew I don't have the nerve to I hardly even know you
I thought I'd cut my ties with the mob But now I'm back for one final job
I hardly even know you Yes it's true

Want five of my best songs for free? colortheory.comColor Theory - The Future You is Forever (UAP Remix)Color Theory2022-04-22 | Remix by UAP Original version featured on 2018 album The Majesty of Our Broken Past
Someday we’ll return here Aching for this moment, this night The awareness hits me Soft but brutal like kids in a pillow fight But let’s keep it together And pretend we don’t know the truth
Everything will change Nothing stays the same The future you is forever
Our entangled fingers Tremble as we take our first breath The nostalgia lingers Like the sound of your voice on a worn cassette But I know things can never Be the way that they used to be
But when the mountain crumbles And monuments to love collapse We’ll celebrate together The majesty of our broken past For now let’s act our age Embrace the glory days
You’ll wake up tomorrow At the top of the radio dial And make fun of the music I’m the first to admit that it’s not my style But for now I’m content To tap my fingers and sing along

The Skeleton's Closet is a companion EP to the latest Color Theory album, Mages. It contains six originals that were too weird or thematically inappropriate for the album, plus five of the best remixes of the era.
The fear of falling And the promise not to fail Pulling my worlds apart Hand on my heart
Light the match And leave me for dead And everybody said Isn’t she nice? Sugar and spice
Just let me go I'm stretched to the limit And bones are bound to break Is that what you want? A fight to the finish Will it satisfy the ache?
I watch it happen I incriminate myself Flexible as a lie Reach for the sky
Twisted arms And sadistic whims Dislocated limbs Picking a fight On a Saturday night
What if I told you That it wasn’t meant to be? What if I told you I won’t be here for the ever after?

Here in the dark It's natural to be afraid To disappear into the shade To lose your way and miss the mark
There in the light It's easier to be a man To execute the master plan To soldier on and win the fight
So let's pretend That I am someone to defend A lover, follower, or friend It doesn't matter in the end So let's pretend
Here in my room It's cynical to be polite To tolerate you one more night To bite my tongue and cast a gloom

I keep a master list of your flaws But none of them bother me at all I write them down dispassionately To maintain my sanity
I keep a master list of your flaws But none of them bother me at all I catalog them incessantly So nothing can get to me
Buried away Alongside angry emails never sent Lies a labor of love A hidden dossier of discontent
Venomous pride A lust for power Lack of agency Spiteful, gullible Tinged with paranoia And crippling jealousy
Both of us know That I'm no stranger to the seven deadly sins I share the blame for The little shop of horrors in our midst
I won't ask you to change Nobody's perfect That's not my intent I don't want to say something I can't take back so This is how I vent

You tell your friends It never happened, believe me Embarrassed by This thing you've done Dug up the earth Buried the body And now I'm an afterthought A skeleton
We share a secret Just once you kissed me I feel your breath In the space before I sleep In the skeleton's closet
You have my word I'll keep my promise Cry out to an empty sky To hear my prayer You cut me down You make me worthless But I need to rescue you From your despair
We share a bond That shall not be broken Whisper your name In the aching darkness

A fleeting image in the dark, trespassing An empty breath, a beating heart The words appear from out of nowhere Both a curse and a prayer I am aware
I feel it I see it I hear it Who is left to think about it Study the examiner
Feels like I’m cheating on a test Somehow I unhooked the cause from the effect An atom binds with its opponent Leading to this moment Indifferent but conscious

Can’t shake off my intuitions Misgivings and deep suspicions You say that you're not home But your light is on It don’t take Sherlock Holmes To see that something's wrong In spite of your disposition
I'll still believe you Anyone would Cause I still need you Anyone would
You say that I’m always smiling So wicked and so beguiling A pitchfork in my hand As I light the match The poison in your glass Come on down the hatch Though I’ve been accused of lying
I’m still dependent In adulthood But who can blame me? Anyone would

Want five of my best songs for free? colortheory.comColor Theory - Sometimes + The Things You Said (Depeche Mode Cover Medley)Color Theory2022-02-25 | This pair of Depeche Mode cover songs form a medley of sorts, with each borrowing elements from the other.
They were pulled from a recent reissue of Color Theory presents Depeche Mode, a tribute album originally released in 2003.
The remastered CD comes in a 6-panel Digipak with all new artwork and three new tracks. For a limited time, I'm offering the CD at any price, including free, at colortheory.com.
“Through thick and thin with her, I've been systematically sinister.”
Italian producer Chris Keya brought a hard-hitting cyberpunk aesthetic to our collaboration that pairs perfectly with the dark desperation of the lyrics.
In times of poverty, hunger, or distress My virtue recedes And noble purposes must be set aside For practical needs
With cunning and a bit of stealth We'll multiply our meager wealth I promise not to break the law Or risk our health
Will we cling to broken social codes In a world where anything goes? Take what's ours or dress in friar's robes? Bleed like saints or smile like rogues?
I tend to hold myself unaccountable For thoughts in my head And if a bright idea suddenly appears I'll follow that thread
Focus on this and nothing else Do what necessity compels And when this life comes to an end Forgive yourself
How come movies, books, and video games get sequels, but not songs? This is my attempt to remedy that injustice.
“Straightaway” is the follow-up to one of my most popular songs, “In Motion.” It takes up the couple's story in their later years, when our protagonist is ready to settle down but doesn't want to hold his partner back.
It's also the focus track for my 12th full-length album, Mages, which releases today! 🥳
Spent our lives in foreign lands Holding hands Passport pages running out Heads above the clouds Eyes toward the sun Having fun Testing luck and tempting fate Since our great escape
Kept a journal on cassette No regrets I'm still grateful every day That you came my way Trivial concerns Hairpin turns Chasing the horizon's end Just around the bend
We lived out our bucket lists And now here we are At the final stretch No more winding roads One long straightaway
Death will pay all of our debts Time forgets Spread my ashes on the sea Should you outlive me Both feet on the ground Slowing down Chapter coming to a close Roosting with the crows
I don’t want to scare you off But if you must fly I won’t clip your wings When the hour comes Tell me straightaway
I don't want to tie you down And whether or not You choose to come back You will always be my señora So if you must go, sayonara When the hour comes Tell me straightaway

At long last, the time has finally come to tell my tale. ⚔️🐉
Absorbing damage Is the name of the game From the claws of monsters Or the heat from a ball of flame Our strength in numbers Is a roll of the dice Played a thousand hours And I think that I died just once Or maybe twice
I live in dungeons, always did I live in dungeons, like a kid Dungeons, caves and halls I live in dungeons, pits and falls
I’m well-respected As a lord of the blade Got a dozen guildmates Always up for a late night raid Though I wouldn’t know them By a name or a face We fight like brothers In a war with the Dark Elf race In a dying age
I rolled a 10 in Wisdom 18 in Constitution Fully immune to poison But weak to Holy magic
So now you know why I’m glued to my chair And what you call real life Just doesn’t compare I bear no grudges I live in dungeons

You're in a relationship with someone who wants a rival, an enemy, a fight. You feel like you've been here before, watching the threads of your friendship fray and unravel. You think to yourself, "Just let me go... I'm stretched to the limit."
