From the recording U.R.B.A.N. EP
Inspired by a true story, "Red & Black" follows the emotional escape from trauma—symbolized by a long, lonely road and the haunting shadows of the past. The lyrics reject fear, shame, and the weight of old wounds, choosing instead to rise above and reinvent oneself.
"It's about survival, rebellion, and breaking free from a dark past. By the end, it becomes a story of empowerment and transformation."
Lyrics
Red & Black
I thought I’d left
My bloodied past behind
Down highway 30, Exit 29
But I still fear
Rounding every corner
I can’t roll with your punches any longer
I wanna rise up
allow myself to
feel a stranger
My darkest secrets
Keep coming back
I only see my past in red and black
My vicious memories
They still attack
I only see my past in red and black
And I’m never going back
I will not march
In your losers' parade
I won’t pull the pin
From your dread grenade
I will not feel
your burn on my face
I - won’t - live - in - fear
will not be your disgrace
I’m gonna rise up
Redefine myself and
Feel a stranger
