Blackened BlueFrieren song! This song came about thanks to the help of Nugget, who contributed the lyrics and even screamed a bunch on it! He came up with the idea to write a song about the titular character snapping under pressure, and I thought I could write some music that would fit!
I know I don't normally upload music unrelated to MLP, but next one will be right back to it!
Blackened Blue - Slayer (feat. Nugget)Blackened Blue2024-09-06 | Frieren song! This song came about thanks to the help of Nugget, who contributed the lyrics and even screamed a bunch on it! He came up with the idea to write a song about the titular character snapping under pressure, and I thought I could write some music that would fit!
I know I don't normally upload music unrelated to MLP, but next one will be right back to it!
A new opportunity for Rarity has arisen, and she's decided to take the plunge. Will she find the fortune and status she's always dreamed of, or will she meander into a state of despair?
Look at that, I'm on Ponies at Dawn again! This is my first successful solo submission in 4 years, and I'm honored to be a part of a collection filled with amazing music made by exceptionally skilled musicians. Decided to go a little "softer" with this song. I've been itching to make songs in a similar vein to Stranger Changer!
How long do you think Opaline has to live whilst struggling to breathe in an abundance of tree roots?
The way Opaline was defeated was honestly pretty grim for MLP, but I like to imagine she somehow survived but remains trapped, left with nothing but her own thoughts. Enlisted the help of my girlfriend DarkNightPrincess to sing with me to spice things up a little!
LYRICS: Stuck alone in this humid prison Rotting out where there's nothing given Every breath I take could be my last I'll never know how much time has passed
Taken down by surprise Gagged and bound by the lies Without a chance of peace (I am begging for my release)
Tainted chains from the earth Is this what I deserve? Everything's caving In
Weighing me down, feel my body breaking Empty inside, ground beneath me shaking I've never known what it's like to give in But now I know, this is not worth living
Taken down by surprise Gagged and bound by the lies Without a chance of peace (I am begging for my release)
These restraints from the earth Is this what I deserve? Everything's caving in on me
Taken down by surprise Gagged and bound by the lies Without a chance of peace (I am begging for my release)
Tainted chains from the earth Is this what I deserve? Everything's caving In
They won't let me out They won't let me out
Is this where everything ends?
Taken down by surprise Gagged and bound by the lies Without a chance of peace (I am begging for my release)
Tainted chains from the earth Is this what I deserve? Everything's caving in on me
The glass has shattered, and Flawless has escaped. She's ready to show Equestria who's really on top.
Told you my next song would be about ponies again! As you can see, I'm *very* late to the Flawless party, but better late than never... Tamers' MLP series is making waves as of late, and the fan response to Flawless Sparklemoon has been overwhelming, so I figured she deserved a song!
LYRICS: It's been a long time coming from the other side Too many hours feeling always left behind A new creation, mix and matching everything Accumulation, only positives gained
I don't have to prove a single thing to you Watch you fall apart, just like you always do I bet it hurts, you'll never be on my level I can stop you with just one single spell
I'm here to make this last Tonight's gonna be a blast Here now, no time has passed Flawless my spells are cast
I'm here to make this last Tonight's gonna be a blast Here now, no time has passed Flawless my spells are cast
This magic war is one I'll win By doing absolutely nothing Savor the moment you're standing tall Blink of an eye and you're gonna fall
I know exactly what you're gonna do Did you forget that I'm the better part of you? No one can stop me in this realm of mine The darkest depths are your final stop, you'll find
I'm here to make this last Tonight's gonna be a blast Here now, no time has passed Flawless my spells are cast
I'm here to make this last Tonight's gonna be a blast Here now, no time has passed Flawless my spells are cast
They'll never understand what your angst is all about, so pick up a guitar and scream and shout!
I've had this riff in my head for a little while, but it finally came together when writing this song. Seeing that guitar in Starlight's room made me think she definitely wrote a few punk songs when everypony around her made her mad.
LYRICS: So you're back again Did you have a good time leaving me by the wayside? Don't mind the tears I've only been waiting for the last two years
I got nothing Except stuck with the scraps They got fake smiles And they're surely about to crack
Nopony understands so I'll make a little noise Let it out
You'll never lock me down Til the whole town hears my voice Let it out
Don't step to me Don't feign like you've always known me all too well Think about me every day, hope it's worth the cost While you're wasting away, clamour for those hours lost
It's all the same Be the one they want you to be While they hold you back I'll keep living for me
I don't care what they have to say Because today I feel like flying
Cadence isn't doing too well... She woke up today and something isn't quite right. Does she still have the capability to love as she did before?
Feels good to be back on the grind! If you saw me at Festival of Friendship this year, you would've heard an earlier version of this song. Partly inspired by the ever popular infection AU, I went with a dreary shoegaze sound to capture that feeling. This song is also part of an upcoming EP later this year (more to be announced!).
She's giving you the heat you can't handle, and she don't care.
When I first heard this song, I knew it needed a moodier guitar-heavy version, and that's what I've done! I was listening to a lot of 10 Years when making this, and I think it shows in the vocals. I really pushed myself to hit those high notes!
LYRICS: When I walk past a mirror, I scare myself I'm the queen of mean Don't care about anypony other than me Isn't that lovely?
Don't ask me to be nice, I don't want to I don't play fair I'm giving you the heat you can't handle And I don't care
I'm a villain (glamorous and mean) I'm a villain (evil as can be) I'm a villain (make you shiver through your teeth) Don't you cry now, it will all be fine I'm a villain I'm a villain
Hush, little pony, don't say a word Or you'll get cursed Can you feel the flame getting closer? Ain't that the worst?
The masses can follow the ones in power, but they aren't blind. Sooner or later, the corrupt empire will crumble.
Something a bit different! Lots of jangly guitar sounds with a more stripped back classic vibe. I wanted to capture the sound of a band playing in a room. This song isn't about any particular character or even Changeling (don't cry Thorax), but a figure that rises to power by creating a facade the people will be comforted by.
LYRICS: They fall for the light That rains down from the skies So blind to what's in store The truth behind your eyes
Hero of the year in our little town Put on a friendly mask to win the social crown Nothing to question, commend your actions every day If they look closer, maybe they'd see it's not okay
You can never change Cause you'll always be so strange I see through your disguise Don't try pull the wool over my eyes
You won't drag me down I'll come back around If it's the last thing I do I'll shout it out, all about you
Sneak attack our dedicated pack But watch out, you'll surely start to crack (And there's no turning back)

When the source of your problems is the one person you're essentially chained to, you're in for a rough time...
Misty song! I feel like I'm late to the party on this one. I wanted to write something about her that captures the darkness in her mind thanks to Opaline's rough hold. This song goes through a couple different twists and turns, kinda going through different cycles of intensity.
LYRICS: Looking down all the scars upon my skin Realise the pain that I'm deep in Second guessing all the moves you always make Another cut for every mark you take
I wake up every day dreading what's next Tighter and tighter, I feel it in my chest It's hard to function when your voice is ringing in my head There'd be no surprises if tomorrow, I'd be dead
I can't trust you anymore Look at what you did to me Let me open up before I turn around and break
Your hold is a burnt-out wick And I am in the dark (Save me from this) Every bit of torment makes me sick You can't make my mark
What happened to your promises? Disappeared into the ether There's a reason I'm broken inside I wish this was all a dream but
I can't believe when you twist the truth Nothing cuts deeper than your fucking lies It's a miracle that I've come to Every second you're here, I wish I could die
Get out of here Wanna run away
Take back what you can't give to me
Living a nightmare I don't think you care Take me somewhere Away from this mare
All I want is to be free from dread Won't come until I'm dead
Grief is a terrible thing. Having someone be your backbone, someone to lean on in difficult times - get taken away from you is one of the worst things anyone can go through, and nothing can change that, no matter how hard you wish.
Trixie song! I don't do features a whole lot, but this is one song that definitely called for one, and who better to feature than the legendary Celica Soldream? I think she really knocked it outta the park with this one.
Royalty is the highest honor anypony can be awarded with, but this little pony thinks otherwise. It's a big world out there, so why not live?
An art piece by thelunarmoon got the ball rolling for an AU where Celestia hates the idea of ascending to the throne and wants to live a regular life as a young, care-free pony. Shoutouts to them for letting me use their amazing work!
LYRICS: Staring out the olden window I can see the forest for the trees Not what it seems, but what do I know Misplaced subservience for everyone to see
Is this what I'm destined for? Impulse decisions etched into stone All I need is so much more I'll never limit myself to the throne
The desire to be free Let it take me anywhere The world is waiting there for me I can feel it in the air
Doing what's expected of me Standing up again another day Won't let them instill it in me Here I'm searching for some other way
I'll never Be one of you Got something More I can do
The sky is calling me I've got to spread my wings And there, I can do everything
Conversations that drag on so long Everything you think about me, you're wrong What a shame that you'll never see me ascend Running away, reaching the bitter end
You won't take my life away Won't take my life awayBlackened Blue - Inch By Inch (Art of the Dress Parody)Blackened Blue2023-06-02 | Boo! Did I scare you with this early upload?
This is something I've wanted to do for a while but never figured out how I wanted to do it until recently. Le Petit Four is a fan-sequel to Cupcakes, in which Rarity falls victim to Pinkie's bittersweet deeds. At one point, she aims to cheer Rarity up by singing a song, which is a gruesome parody of Art of the Dress! I think she should've taken up a career as a death metal ghostwriter; it's a lot more legal.
By the way, over 10 years ago there was a video of someone singing the lyrics to the original song in a Pinkie voice. I can't find that thing anymore and that makes me sad. I hope they're having a lovely day.
LYRICS: Inch by inch, skinning you alive Such white skin, cutting up your muscles snip by snip Making sure the knife is digging nicely It's about the texture, it's like silk
I just can't believe this skin's so nifty Making sure it is correctly shifting
Daybreaker is a figment of your imagination, so any threats she's gonna muster up won't actually happen. She's not real... Right?
Man you guys love this song. While I've never released it on my channel until today, I've played it at almost every single show I've performed at since 2020 when it first came out on Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse! This is a remastered and partially rerecorded version and the lead single to my debut album, Sounds from the Shed! The album comes out today as of writing, while I'm here in EponaFest! While at Everfree Encore, I sold out of all 50 copies I had printed, so shout out to you if you bought one!
You ever get the taste for blood? It's a voluptuous experience.
This song is a commission for Etyco Filly, who wanted a song about her OC Iron Sonata who's the main character for her fanfic Foal of the Wastes. After living an abusive, torturous childhood, she manages to break free and embark on a killing spree that lasts way too long. A bloodthirsty mare requires a brutal song!
LYRICS: For so many years I've had to deal with your rule Locked up in my cell Dealing with a fate so cruel
Is this the best hand That I've been dealt? Is there a future for me? This is the worst pain I've felt
For every scar you gave me For every broken bone For every single time You left me all alone
I'll let it multiply I'm here to signify That I'm not afraid To let you die
And I will stand up for who I am
Free at last from your permanent hold As I let the pain unfold No longer locked in your detrimental cage There's nothing left to supress my rising rage
Bloody hooves are a monument To all your dealings of torment But I'll power through the pain with lead Showering through your fucking head
So let the bullets fly Watch everypony die It doesn't fucking matter I'll let it rain and scatter
Long as I shoot first I'll quench my bloodthirst Don't think that you're better than me
Better get out my way You'll never see the day Cause this is how I thrive Forever to survive
None of you will ever fucking see This is who I am and you'll never hurt me
Take a look down a loaded gun Better pray that you can run When the sky is black with raining lead It won't be long until you're dead
Locked up in the lineup You're fish in the barrel Just another easy kill Another means to get my fill
You'll never hurt them again You'll never hurt them again You'll never hurt them again You'll never hurt them again
(All the words they said) They'll never hurt you again (All the scars they left) They'll never hurt you again (All the things they did) They'll never hurt you again (Now they're left for dead)
Farewell to your life's restraints (Run free) Run free from your captor's remains Out here, you're living life on a whim Won't be long 'til you end up just like them
Why have I taken their lives? Why have I taken their lives? Why have I taken their lives?
I'm fucking broken
There's so much I've done wrong All that I can't come back from But I've let my mind break Retracing all my mistakes
Don't walk into the Everfree Forest at night, because there's a good chance you won't be walking out...
Sorry for such a big gap between releases! Between PC issues and lots of convention performances, my plate's been super full. Hopefully from this point onward it'll be easier to manage! This song wouldn't have been nearly half of what it is without the amazing lyrical talents of Gloomrot and Blitzy, who deliver some great bars!
LYRICS: Young, the night is young I feel alone and I am cold The air is cold and dry And I can't keep a hold
It's taking hold The fear of what lies in the woods And run I would If I could
The mind is a poison joke, lost to the breeze Stumble through the poised oak, knots in the trees Hydra heads bob to the throb of a foul tune There’s wounds on the moon and there’s frost on the leaves
Timberwolves roam around, they’re howling at the dark skies Hooves on the ground and heart’s pounding as the stars die The fact is your cracked in the back of your scarred mind A scratch on the glass with the pass of a sharp knife
Now it's forcing me Into a world born of misery I can feel it clouding my psyche Captive in the Everfree
Grown, the leaves have grown To cover all the pain I've known But what they've known Is every reason I'm alone
When I'm alone My sense of self is overthrown And thrust into The unknown
What - I - know - I feel like I’m not even home I’m trapped in mind with my anxiety alone
Every direction I turn leaves me confused A dark forest of thoughts - caused by my abuse
A rain cloud follows me ominously around Everyday it rains harder I’m feelin' I might drown
Every rain drop carries the burden of each stress and Now I’m stuck in an ocean drowning in my depression
The future's now, earth ponies! You and your old-fashioned hooves are no match for our aviation skills and modern cityscapes with screens that show the latest social media trends.
I swear I'll return to a regular uploading schedule eventually. Life got in the way for a little while. Con season is still very much upon us. As of writing, I'm preparing to head to Derpyfest and Ponyville Ciderfest to play some shows!
LYRICS: I feel like starting anew In a place so high Somewhere without you A place where I can thrive
There's nothing left for me Can't reach my full potential Not enough room to breathe It's so inconsequential
Don't try to call, don't try to write Cause I'm not coming back Don't need to stay here Moving forward down the right track
You'll never see me again And I don't care at all I'm taking it all To the highest heights
I found my home in the sky And it makes me feel so high I'll never fall, I'll never die When I'm living in Zephyr Heights
How does it feel down there? Down in old Maretime Bay? This city's what I've dreamed of You'll think the same someday
You never cared about me Why should I waste my time? If I never let you go then This life won't truly be mine
I'm never coming back
I found my home in the sky And it makes me feel so high (I'm up to the task, but you're down bad) I'll never fall, I'll never die When I'm living in Zephyr Heights
If you've got something to say Then don't open your mouth I don't want it
'Cause you've brought nothing but pain and delirium into my life
There are two paths for you to take... The one everyone around you wants you to take, or the one in your heart you know is the right one. It's a sheep vs wolf world out there.
Anyone reading this who watched me perform at Griffish Isles or Eponafest this year will recognise this song, as I actually premiered it at those two cons! Hopefully this studio cut will live up to your expectations. Also, later this month, I'll be performing at Europe's biggest MLP convention, GalaCon! Will I see you there?
LYRICS: Tell me what you're looking for Is it a state of mind so full and pure? Well I could offer you the perfect cure You'll get your peace of mind forevermore
Don't let them get to you I'll tell you what to do
I'm holding onto what's left of my heart I can't let myself fall apart
A stepping stone for us to take Eternal enemies for you to make Make a choice and you will see The kind of pony you were meant to be
You may think what you will But you were born to kill
An anthem for how done Twilight is with Celestia and her constant nagging to write letters every single week. Can't a mare breathe?
Sorry for the long gap of no uploads! I've been extremely busy with lots of things. In between this and my last upload, I've performed at three different cons in three different countries, those being BABSCon, Griffish Isles and EponaFest! I've got a couple months of downtime so I should be good on my schedule again. Anyway, this song was originally written and recorded for the latest Ponies At Dawn compilation Zenith, but it unfortunately didn't make the cut. Doesn't mean I can't share it with you all though!
LYRICS: So I guess I'm not quite faithful enough for you Posing in shackles and chains is the best I can do There's more to life than simply writing letters Just let me go, and I'll make your life better
Like an animal trapped in a cage I'm writing meaningless words down on every page Call me a ghostwriter The cover to your memoir reads "come find her"
The sun shines down to burn everything behind the curtain I melt like a candle when there's nothing but your flame
Bound to the paper so I never fail Away from the sun, this is beyond the pale I wanna live in the words of the ancient There's no worth in reports with no patience
This ink runs deeper than the blood you bear And I'm the one with the knife You're taking back a tiny fraction of innocence And I'm taking back my life
You may be an alicorn But were you born with wings or a horn?
If you've got magic down to the core Then tell me what you're waiting for I know you think you're mighty up above us all But everything that flies has got to fallBlackened Blue - Another Magical SongBlackened Blue2022-02-16 | EDIT 22/02/2022: Featured on Horse Music Herald! horsemusicherald.com/2022/02/22/blackened-blue-another-magical-song
Well done Sunny... You've given away magic to the citizens of Equestria as part of some ancient incantation, and now the spirit of Twilight isn't too happy... Gonna cry about it?
Feels good to be back after a couple months. This might be the heaviest song I've written in quite some time and features the longest scream I've ever pulled off! (HINT: It's longer than the screams in Outsider and Given Up) What better way to continue the G5 train than to write a song about a short lived alternate universe? Also, keep your eyes peeled for some announcements...
Much temptation, condemnation Your actions guarantee annihilation Premature activation A curse to shroud this untouchable nation
You're unworthy Not a leader And it's consideration you lack The end is coming back
The future you've created Is left to be invaded Harmony, you've delayed it You'll be left broken and hated
I'm not the leader you know You've nowhere else to go You've waivered your right to live That magic was not yours to give
Immolation, mutilation Eternal end to the future's creation
The root cause Your own misgivings Prepare for eternal pain You clearly haven't
I see there's Endless pressure overflow It's taking over All because you couldn't keep it
Not everyone deserves a chance You're not the magic arbiter And as the magic formulation arrives I'll watch you die
The future you've created Is left to be invaded Harmony, you've delayed it You'll be left broken and hated
Take a look at your decisions Is this what you've envisioned? This one will be your lastBlackened Blue x Frozen Night - Endless Night (Comm)Blackened Blue2021-12-03 | Nightmare Moon's had enough of everything, and she's out for blood.
Possibly my final release of the year, and it's a collab with the amazingly talented Frozen Night! He really turned this song into something special. This started off as a commission from Niriksong, who wanted an angry Nightmare Moon track with some epic orchestrals.
LYRICS: There's something wrong with the way you think My heart is fucking breaking Inner surmounting isolation This is my life you're taking
All the years we spent together Cast aside all for nothing Inside, more than ever I feel the nightmare rising
You're not the mare I know (You make me sick) All you are is a shadow of yourself (You can't let go) Not the mare I know (You make me sick) Someday I'll fight Can't stop the endless night
This monochrome prison can't hold still for eternity This broken body - brusied and beaten - can't stop me I am the catalyst that separates the night from day You have your work cut out cause I will make you suffer - make you pay
You're not the mare I know (You make me sick) All you are is a shadow of yourself (You can't let go) Not the mare I know (You make me sick) Someday I'll fight Can't stop the endless night
You're not the mare I know (You make me sick) All you are is a shadow of yourself (You can't let go) Not the mare I know (You make me sick) Someday I'll fight Can't stop the endless nightBlackened Blue - Danger Danger (Cover)Blackened Blue2021-10-30 | Rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble...
A full cover of a song from the new MLP movie! I'm *way* too overdue for putting out a full cover of something from the franchise (that I've done on my own terms, at least), so hearing this song in the movie immediately made me want to cover it. Speaking of, the movie was fantastic! Since uploading my last song, I was a guest and performer at PonyCon Holland in the Netherlands and got to meet some awesome artists, including Imalou, the character designer for Sunny, Izzy and Sprout! She even jumped on stage when I played Absent Magic! Lots of things have happened since my last upload and things are only going to keep high. Next month, I'll be joining PrinceWhateverer and Coltastrophe in Manchester for Griffish Isles, so if you're starved of live music and cons and you're in the UK in November, come along!
Original song by Daniel Schmuckler and Michael Mahler
LYRICS: Something is lurking, something is near Something is feeling stranger, stranger Stirring up discord, whipping up fear Whispering softly, "danger, danger!"
Outsiders creep up slow and steady Wings glistening, horns at the ready Think what they could do to the status quo (Oh, no!) They're gonna steal, plunder, and pillage They're gonna take over the village
Don't just sit on your butts and do nothing and wait Let's enter a blind, irrational state
Better get nervous, better get tense Better not let them catch you blinking You don't need a reason, fillies and gents This is no time for sober thinking
Fight, see in black and white That's your pony right Time to lift your manes and proudly Throng, numbers make you strong Millions can't be wrong Especially when they're screaming loudly
You might not have a bale of hay to borrow Are you saddled with your sorrow? Are you scared about tomorrow? It's all gonna work out painlessly If you follow my orders brainlessly
Who are we? (We're an angry mob!) What are we? (We're an angry mob!) Look at this corn (It's on the cob!) Look at that guy (Uh, m'name's rob)
ANGRY FUCKING MOBBlackened Blue - Absent Magic [MLP G5 SONG]Blackened Blue2021-09-19 | Welcome to the next generation of My Little Pony music. Not much has changed. Horses are sad. Especially unicorns. They don't have magic. They wanna die. Sadge.
Seeing that part in the trailer with the depressed unicorns jostled something in my system to get me to write this. The G5 songs I've seen so far have been a bit generic lyrically (no shade to anyone, promise!), so I wanted to write something with a bit more lyrical substance. Also to those of you worried about spoilers, I've not seen the movie yet so you don't have to worry! I also have no plans to stop writing songs about G4.
Oh yeah, MASSIVE thanks for getting me to 1000 submarines!
LYRICS: One broken race In a fractured place Left in the dust There's no help for us
I dream tomorrow The pain won't follow If you're out there Let me know you care
The magic I had it My key to life Degraded
I'm empty A hollow shell And I'm Better off in hell
It's been so long I'm too far gone The life I led Come to an end
Nowhere to turn My psyche burns Can't open my eyes Is this goodbye?
All I wanted was to be me All I wanted was to be me
The magic I had it My key to life Degraded
I'm empty A hollow shell And I'm Better off in hellBlackened Blue - Dont Hold Me Back NowBlackened Blue2021-07-04 | Celestia's fallen... Or has she? No matter how beaten and bloodied she may get, she isn't prepared to let Chrysalis get the better of her and take over Equestria.
LYRICS: Shattered is the core that blocks out all my pain I pushed too hard, my efforts were in vain Picturing the end of my light Or maybe the start of gathering my might
The fire inside ignites So don't hold me back now Step to me, let's fight You can't hold me back now
I feel you beneath my skin There's nothing there that you can win 'Cause I know, I'll never die under your command I'll see that you will never take my land
Never stop, I'm still alive I'm sick of all your shit You claim me a fool, I'm on my own But I won't take a hit
Find me: https://linktr.ee/BlackenedBlueBlackened Blue - Down Below [P@D: Oceansong]Blackened Blue2021-05-17 | Equestria lives in harmony on the ground and in the sky, but the treacherous depths of its ocean are the one place everypony avoids. Those who've been down there never come out exactly the way they did before...
This was one of my contributions to the newest Ponies at Dawn album Oceansong! There's a lot of watery metaphors in the lyrics, but I think the end result sounds more like Bullet for My Valentine rather than The Amity Affliction. Oh well!
Lyrics: It's flowing out again The water I call my enemy Surrounding everything Submerging all in front of me
Don't give me pity I caused this problem on my own My heart is empty This burden I'll atone
Down below I'll never rise again Down below Away from you, my friend High above The heavens call my name High above I feel my life drift away
Take my heart Watch it fray Lacerate this life So thrown away
I don't have long left Until I drown Far from the surface I feel myself falling down Falling down
Down below I'll never rise again Down below Away from you, my friend High above The heavens call my name High above I feel my life drift away
I'll drag you down with me Beyond the great unknown From now we'll rule the sea Together we're never alone
Who's to say that this is the end? Even in my darkest hour, I still have a friend
Down below I'll never rise again Down below Away from you, my friend High above The heavens call my name High above I feel my life drift away
Down below I'll never rise again Down below Away from you, my friend High above The heavens call my name High above I feel my life drift away

In August 2019, I got to perform on stage with him in the US at the very first Neighhem, and this was one of the songs we played. I got the idea to cover this absolute banger a little while back, and here it is!
Lyrics: Everyday of my life I've mostly spent staring down at the ground. I don't know why But I've always been putting my own self down. But that doesn't mean that you all can just Push me around. So just listen to me now!
Just keep on going. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Just keep on trying.
They may say that you are nothing, But their words don't mean a thing. Just believe in yourself and keep moving on. Let that anger built up inside you Be the thing that keeps you going Cause you know that you have potential To do great things. Now show them they're wrong!
This is my passion. It's what I want to be. But everything that's said you always disagree. You keep on laughing and trying to put me down. Why can't you just believe? Don't you see me now? You must be blind or deaf. How can you not understand? This is my life and I won't let if fall. Yet you still can't get that through your head. Just listen to this song!
Just keep on going. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Just keep on trying.
They may say that you are nothing, But their words don't mean a thing. Just believe in yourself And keep moving on. Let that anger built up inside you Be the thing that keeps you going Cause you know that you have potential To do great things. Now show them they're wrong!
The road's been rough, And I've had enough. This is my time. The time to shine!
Just keep on going. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Just keep on trying.
They may say that you are nothing, But their words don't mean a thing. Just believe in yourself and keep moving on. Let that anger built up inside you Be the thing that keeps you going Cause you know that you have potential To do great things. Now show them they're wrong!
I've set a course to accomplish And I'll follow it through and through I know that this is my destiny And you can't tell me what to do.
Lyrics: Look at just how far we've come Out from the dark, into the sun Once a spark, now a flame Hand in claw in hoof, one and the same Joined together by one small thing, one small thing
One small thing doesn't seem like a lot One small thing, give it everything you've got Soon one small thing becomes two And after two, perhaps another few One small thing is a good place to start One small thing, and we don't feel so far apart One small thing, and you will see The start of something big for you and me
One small thing, is all I need To make a difference and foresee, what it takes to be free and whatever I be what I need to be, through the debris which I walk on through battlefield of broken dreams
I remain an opportunist, through the abyss I admit, that it all ain’t as easy as it is But I will not quit, and let alone be in remiss and refuse to dismiss that the box does not exist
I’ve been there, when no-one else was my friends were, always with the cause saw the change, that we made, and we never paused like how we defy divides, we too defy the law
and even if when we knew that we cannot stay the stories will be told ‘till the end of days we’re on our way, done with being led astray ponies for life as we hear ‘em cheer yay
One small thing is a good place to start One small thing, and we don't feel so far apart One small thing, and you will see The start of something big for you and me
The citizens of Ponyville live harmoniously, thanks to the potions sold by Pinkie Pie at Sugarcube Corner. Little do they know, however, that there's somepony sinister behind their creation. Nopony knows where the potions come from or how they're made, not even Pinkie. All they know is that they're good as hell, and incredibly addicting. Perhaps a little *too* addicting...
So I thought I'd try my hand at writing a song about Pony Life! It's pretty different tonewise to FiM, but it still gave me some material to work with. The show's pretty alright too. Not as great as FiM, but still watchable. What better way to celebrate Nightmare Night with something dark?
LYRICS: Everypony thinks you're crazy They don't know what's going on Tell them all your potions 'plenished Yesterday they used to be gone
Am I just a piece of fiction Feeding into your addictions
Or am I the real thing?
I'm all you need Let's see you try and escape from me You'll never succeed An addict is all you'll ever be
Let me lead you to the bottle One more I hear you say I can feel you lie to yourself I heard it yesterday
Who's on top now? Are you feeling the burn now?
It's time you got used to me
I'm all you need Let's see you try and escape from me You'll never succeed An addict is all you'll ever be
I'm all you need Let's see you try and escape from me You'll never succeed An addict is all you'll ever be
A part of you I'll always be The former you They'll never see
I'm all you need Let's see you try and escape from me You'll never succeed An addict is all you'll ever be
I'm all you need Let's see you try and escape from me You'll never succeed An addict is all you'll ever...

She did an amazing job turning a sample into something truly amazing. By the way, you should totally check out the album, it's really good.
Also there's nothing really visually interesting going on the video, so you can play this in the background if you want.
Being stuck between two choices is often an anxious situation. Both choices could be beneficial to you, but picking only one can just make you wonder about the other choice and how that could've gone instead...
For the first time in months, I've got a fresh song for you guys! In the time I've been uploading songs for the EP, I've been refining my mixes - particularly the drum sounds - and I'm very proud of what I've done with this song. I was on a big Amity Affliction kick when I wrote this song.
LYRICS: I feel the waves pulling me in I can't fly
With my talons in the ground To the sand I am bound So complicated I feel I hate it
Why do I feel this way?
Where is the path I must take The emotions I fake I can't hold any longer I just wonder
Torn in between This I can't help but feel Now my heart is split in Two pieces
Dragged under water Only to suffocate Your hold can't please me Drowning in what you say
Please don't make me choose I can't deal with this
My heart is split
Where is the path I must take The emotions I fake I can't hold any longer I just wonder
Torn in between This I can't help but feel Now my heart is split in Two pieces
Burning inside I'm eaten alive Please tell me what can I do? I just want to see you
Pull me from this conflict Give me the instinct I can't let this inflict me
So overwhelmed by my sweltering emotions You can't see how this hurts me My body's anchored, a different outcome I can't see Let me say it again now, you can't see how this hurts me
Ever feel like you've been left alone? Poor little Scootaloo's yet to be able to fly, yet all her winged pals at her age already have that ability. She's the only one left on the ground...
This is the last track from my self-titled EP, and the third of the remade tracks, this one dating all the way back to 2015! Charging Onward is the only track left, but I'm gonna let that one sit aside for a little while since I want to focus on getting completely new music out for you guys.
LYRICS: This burden that I bear I can't seem to go where My heart wants to lead me The places I wanna be
Can't relate To the ones up in that Vast sky My time will come far too late
The sky's so bright Yet I'm alone in darkness Far away Standing grounded in this
World so cold Someday they'll see that I'm more than bold To get up high But will I ever fly?
Is this how it's meant to be? High in the air without me I see it now You don't need me
Neither do I Just let the days go by I think I'll be alright Alone I'll take flight
The sky's so bright Yet I'm alone in darkness Far away Standing grounded in this
World so cold Someday they'll see that I'm more than bold To get up high But will I ever fly?
I dream of the highest heights Soaring so close to the light And alone I'll forge my own way But I know you'll never see the day
I've come so high Higher than you'll ever be
The sky's so bright Yet I'm alone in darkness Far away Standing grounded in this
World so cold Someday they'll see that I'm more than bold To get up high But will I ever fly?
Find me: twitter.com/BBlue_music facebook.com/BlackenedBlue blackenedblue1.bandcamp.comBlackened Blue - Dark Secret [2020 REMAKE]Blackened Blue2020-05-14 | The pain Luna's gone through to keep Equestria safe from eternal nightmares... Kept secret from its inhabitants, the Tantabus has escaped from her mind and intends to do all it can to make the nightmare realm and real world collide.
So this is a remake of a song I wrote in late 2017, which was the first song of mine to be featured on sites like Equestria Daily and Horse Music Herald. As such, I've rerecorded it and written lyrics and recorded vocals for it as the first track to my self-titled EP. I think this one changed the least out of all the remade songs.
LYRICS: Deep down inside me A storm is brewing up inside You see, I hold this secret Filled with all my regret
I can't believe I let myself get to the point of no return And I know it's all my fault
Watch as I escape your tainted mind Memories you thought you left behind Time is right, and with all my might I'll bring the nightmares to everypony in sight
I've failed the ones around me Emotions marred my duty I've come so far only to bear you with my scars
The guilt I've left in my heart What I've built up festered so long I want to be apart from these tainted thoughts
Caught up in the past again Did this to myself when I came around To save me from myself
(Let go) You can't erase me (Let go) I will be set free (Let go) No more (Let go) Dreams
I've failed the ones around me Emotions marred my duty I've come so far only to bear you with my scars
The guilt I've left in my heart What I've built up festered so long I want to be apart from these tainted thoughts
I've failed the ones around me Emotions marred my duty I've come so far only to bear you with my scars
The guilt I've left in my heart What I've built up festered so long I want to be apart from these tainted thoughts
Ever felt like a huge workaholic? Rarity sure has. Imagine being so engrossed in your own hobbies or livelihood that you feel like you're imprisoned by it all. Can't see your friends or focus on other things, and it's rough...
Another song from the EP for you guys, and this is one of the two freshly written tracks from it. I plan to get all the tracks up here eventually, one by one. Amazingly, this one is my most streamed track ever on Spotify. The only one that has over 1,000 plays!
LYRICS: Last night I made a plan Digging up all the best I can
A masterpiece by my design And I know nothing better can come to mind
Why am I trapped in these confines? Can't see the world outside
And I'm falling away From the ones I used to know
This is my destiny And yet I've become so low
Can't blame anyone I made this mess by myself
The days go by and I Can't catch a break and alone I cry
Why am I trapped in these confines? Can't see the world outside
And I'm falling away From the ones I used to know
This is my destiny And yet I've become so low
All this pain I just want to leave it all behind
Start anew Give me something worth holding inside
(Help me) I can't hold on (Help me) This isn't right (Help me) There's something wrong and I can't run away (Help me) Pull me out (Help me) From these chains (Help me) I know you're out there, everything's astray
Much like the last two Ponies At Dawn albums, this track will appear on the upcoming compilation Ignite! It will also feature guest appearances from The L-Train and PrinceWhateverer. Also it's not about Daybreaker, I just needed something for the video.
Recently, I submitted a song to the latest A State of Sugar compilation, Brownie. I couldn't submit a straight up rock song, so I decided to do something out of my comfort zone while still trying to sound like me. No screams, no crazy drum fills or ripping solos. Instead, I experimented with some electronic sounds, which I'm not used to. This song features MC-Arch (jeez, I need to do more features...) doing vocals with me, and he really knocked it out of the park with this one. In the future, you'll also see a slightly different version on the second chapter of Arch's "You Got Me; I Got Us"!
LYRICS: Maybe I'm not like what they say I am alone and that's okay A life of immortality Is not what it's cracked up to be
But it doesn’t hit me anymore and not just the bullets that as scars we have worn or every memory that we fought for and mourn you can break, like the oath of friendship we have sworn
This is war, and bigger than before Whether it was right or crime, I still deplore Suppressed my emotions, in rage I’ve explored You left with silence, but I come to Roar!
I’m taking everything that you took away You will answer for everything and pay Remember how you hurt us, 'cuz like the wounds I'll stay Even if you hate me, you still know my name
Regarding our choices, I want you to know I didn't walk away, you let me go My loved ones fates will no longer befall I'll find you all before you find them and kill you all
Maybe I'm not like what they say I am alone and that's okay A life of immortality Is not what it's cracked up to be
So whoever will end up as the winner Or end up defeated in the last stand I’ll move on from where you’ve hurt me Even if I’ll feel like I’m still there
Some things you’ll always remember Remember what you wish was just gone For who or what was meant to prosper If from the survivors we’re the only ones
Real situations have always exposed a fake friend Even if I’m still fueled by rage, I can comprehend Whoever wins the fight between the bolts in the sky Just know I might be in your shadow, but you never left mine
Things won’t be the same after your attack But the eyes that you’ve tried to shut with tears stare back Maybe things, might never be the same But every wonder will outcast the shadow's claim
Find me: twitter.com/BBlue_music facebook.com/BlackenedBlue blackenedblue1.bandcamp.comBlackened Blue EP | OUT NOW!Blackened Blue2020-02-14 | My self-titled EP is now available for release! Here's a preview of all five tracks. Seriously guys, I can't thank you enough for letting me get to this point. 431 subscribers (as of writing) isn't an amazingly huge number, but to me it's a lot! I hope you enjoy this EP.
In her mind, Twilight sees herself falling victim to her own overconfidence. Losing her grip with flight, she stumbles and falls, leaving her with no support. It's a long way down, you know. Will she actually succumb, though? She doubts it.
This song was originally written, recorded and uploaded here in 2018 as an instrumental. For the EP, I've rerecorded the whole thing, wrote lyrics and added my vocals to the mix, which I'd been wanting to do for quite some time! On top of that, how do you like the new aesthetic? StealingShad3z designed a new logo as well as a cutie mark design. A new decade brings new designs!
LYRICS: My heart is racing Feel so complacent Thin the air around me The ground I cannot see
The wings I bear Can't save me from this nightmare
I should've handled this better than I'd planned Dropped by the carelessness at hand
Is this a dream or a prediction? My recklessness is my infliction (Save me) Thought I knew what I was doing But now I see my undoing
Falling down The clouds around me are leaving my eyes Broken wings I'm all alone in the sky Nopony around I'm helpless and there's nothing I can do But that's if I were to fall
I see it in my head My friends aren't near me And they can't save me
All alone I wonder if I'm even worthy To fill the shoes of those who led before me
What does it mean if I can't fly? Is it a long fall to the ground? (Will I die?) I know they couldn't catch me (Now) They'll only sit around thinking about how I'm...
Falling down The clouds around me are leaving my eyes Broken wings I'm all alone in the sky Nopony around I'm helpless and there's nothing I can do But that's if I were to fall
Falling down The clouds around me are leaving my eyes Broken wings I'm all alone in the sky Nopony around I'm helpless and there's nothing I can do But that's if I were to fall
Trivia Trot is serious business, as our old pal Twilight definitely knows. She's gonna do her best to win, and nopony will stop her.
This might be my last song release for the year as I'm working on an EP scheduled for release some time early next year. An event as tense as Trivia Trot deserves a rapid-fire hardcore punk track. The vocal track to this song was actually recorded in a single take. Fun times! Also a couple weeks ago, I performed at Rock Nessie in Glasgow alongside Coltastrophe and PrinceWhateverer, so if any full song footage comes out, I'll see if I can upload it here!
Ada is a simple mare, but she's in a bit of trouble as her friends have somehow vanished, and the world around her's become possessed or something. Hope her mental state doesn't deteriorate too far...
So I thought I'd try my hand at writing a song about that one MLP fangame, D'LIRIUM from the main character Ada's perspective. It's a pretty spoopy game, and it's cheap too! The song also incorporates part of the title theme from the game. Also, this is the first song I've done in a while where I only scream.
Sometimes you have to learn that it's okay to say no and walk away...
Don't let the title or the song fool you into thinking that I'm leaving the fandom, because I'm not going anywhere. This song's pretty personal to me; it's partially inspired by a series of events I went through earlier this year, and writing it felt really cathartic.
LYRICS: Do you have it in you to realise what you've done? I couldn't have foreseen the monster you've become Just waiting in the shadows, prepared to attack Little do you know, I'm never coming back
Anywhere's a better place As long as I'm away from you Listen up for one last time 'Cause I'm here to let you know it's time to go
I can't stay here any longer Our safe haven's become a madhouse Every minute, every hour You always know how to turn things sour
Anywhere's a better place As long as I'm away from you Listen up for one last time 'Cause I'm here to let you know it's time to go
Away, far away I need serenity My future's bright without you This is all for me
There's nothing you can do to bring me back I'm running away so I can relax Don't call me a coward or fill me with lies If I didn't have a backbone, you'd still be in my life
Anywhere's a better place As long as I'm away from you Listen up for one last time 'Cause I'm here to let you know it's time to go
Anywhere's a better place As long as I'm away from you Listen up for one last time 'Cause I'm here to let you know it's time to go
Two songs in one month? What is this sorcery?! When I first heard Vylet and Namii's song, I thought it would make a sick metal song, so I decided to cover it and even add my own lyrics to it, which is why this kinda bridges the gap between a cover and a remix. Consider this a little treat before I head to BronyCon.
Also, sorry in advance if my flow isn't great. I'm not a rapper, and I guess it shows? X3
Get stacked Cuz you know the king is back You lookin for the door When you hear the whip crack
Fall down on your knees As you bow before the king Look to the throne, Crystal heart Got the world by a string
Get stacked Cuz you know what happens next Chin up, no control Cuz muthafucka you've been hexed
Blazed to fuck Everypony's been waiting For history to write Long live the King
Don't try and stand in my way I'll break you down before you see the day This is the new revolution, baby So get down on your knees, let me see you pray
I'm coming back Nopony can stop me It's time to run, it's time to hide But it's you I always see
You really wanna deal with fate? Step up to the muthafuckin' plate All the world around you should know That there's nowhere else to go
Look around you Dare you to look me in the eye I'll lead you to your biggest fear And sit back as you die
Don't even think about attempting to escape Before you know it, all my crystals are in your way And there'll never be a day where you run away from my reign Now let me see you bow down to the king
The king is back with a brand new verbal attack Your world is turning black
So what'll it be? Fall to your knees or try to flee? Nah, that's a trick question Not a chance in Tartarus you'll run from me
Swear to me your life Or say hi to the knife No matter what the choice You'll only hear my voice
All Yona wants is to be herself, but all the ponies around her want her to be more like them. Would someone give this yak a hug already?
This'll be the first song I've made that doesn't rely on screaming. It's still there, but this time I'm actually singing for the most part. I'm actually pretty proud of how it turned out!
Silly Twilight forgot to return one of her books to the library! Let's hope she doesn't have to spend her life savings just to pay the late fees, right?
What have I done? I see perfection in my sight And yet I've failed This can't be right
I have to make it back Return the life I had The clock is ticking and the future, it's looking bad I'm not prepared to pay my dues Knowing what happened to you
Put my life back together Or live with shame forever If I can't find the answer How can I live with myself? I'll never be perfect
Food for thought
Where have you gone? It's just as if you were never there Come out and talk to me I need some peace of mind If only you knew what I see
I have to make it back Return the life I had The clock is ticking and the future, it's looking bad I'm not prepared to pay my dues Knowing what happened to you
Put my life back together Or live with shame forever If I can't find the answer How can I live with myself? I'll never be perfect Not in this life
Bits in my eyes Soaring high My own mistake Led to disarray
I have to make it back Return the life I had The clock is ticking and the future, it's looking bad I'm not prepared to pay my dues Knowing what happened to you
Put my life back together Or live with shame forever If I can't find the answer How can I live with myself? I'll never be perfect
This is the song I submitted to the Ponies at Dawn compilation album Skyward! Figured I'd write something about Twilight rising up to her demons time and again, this time proving that she can do it on her own. Her friends may back her, but she's got this!
LYRICS:
I've had it up to here You've pushed me once again And I won't deal anymore It's time I took a stand
All the time I've spent Building an unbreakable bond This won't be for nothing You won't take me down
No more mercy I will not hold back At last the time has come To take you down myself
For the good of Equestria This will be your end
Now feel my wrath
At last We're face to face once again Just like the times gone by
I know what I'm capable of With my friends by my side But now I'm strong enough To end your reign myself
It's time to face your demise once again You'll never overpower me For all the damage you have dealt, I will repay And in Celestia's name, you'll never take another breath
If I can't stop you now I'll never know how
NO
It's time to face your demise once again You'll never overpower me For all the damage you have dealt, I will repay And in Celestia's name, you'll never take another...
You may have brought us strife but you will never end our way of life
Not too long ago, I submitted this song for the upcoming Ponies at Dawn compilation, Skyward. This time, I made it onto the tracklist and will be featured alongside many talented musicians in the fandom!
The Kirin are courteous and caring on the outside, but inside, there lies a side of them that should never be revealed...
So yeah, happy late new year and all that. I figured the best way to start off this year was by releasing a song with my own vocals for once! This song in particular is about the Kirin and their dark counterparts. Just be glad it's not another cover of A Kirin Tale, eh? X3 Anyway, I must admit, I'm very inexperienced when it comes to writing lyrics as well, but I hope I didn't do too bad. ;-;
A peaceful tribe Where silence looms Anger and conflict Will bring our doom
The stream of silence falls Purifying our every word Suppressing what's left of our emotions Hate no more
And yet we burn
Not a single voice to be heard We can't even make a sound And though the words go unsaid The anger boils up inside
If you could hear our voices You'd understand our pain Emotions buried with a silent mask
The anger spreads Our village burns Our very way of life Replaced with flames
With blazing anger Clouding our minds The sound of our voice Shall be heard no more
And yet we burn
Not a single voice to be heard We can't even make a sound And though the words go unsaid The anger boils up inside
One day, Equestria will see That this is the only way to be You can't be mauled by words If you can't make a sound
Our minds engulfed with flames
And you shall burn with us
These are the embers of a new beginning Kept away by an emotionless mask Not a single Kirin will be spared You will be assimilated no matter where you hide
This is our tribe
Not a single voice to be heard We can't even make a sound And though the words go unsaid The anger boils up inside
The peaceful town has faded The ire culminated Nothing but ash as a remainder Of what we created
A tribe of silent voices Leaving no choice left but to burn
Welcome to Tartarus. It's pretty hot down there, so you'd best not be wearing anything too warm...
So I've just reached 200 subscribers, and what better way to celebrate than with a collab? This time around Reverbrony contributed to this song, adding a brutal breakdown in the middle of the song!
