Story Behind The Song
"Blackout Mind" was written to capture the feeling of mental overload and emotional pressure building beneath the surface. It reflects the tension between trying to stay in control externally while internally unraveling. The song is designed to translate that psychological intensity into a dynamic, cinematic listening experience.
Song Description
"Blackout Mind" is a dark, cinematic alternative rock track that blends driving guitars with modern electronic textures to create a tense, emotionally charged atmosphere. The song builds from restrained, introspective verses into a powerful, anthemic chorus, making it ideal for scenes involving psychological tension, internal conflict, or emotional escalation.
The track's dynamic structure and polished production make it well-suited for film, television, trailers, and video game placements.

Lyrics
I wake up with a weight on my chest
Like a ghost that I never confessed
Every thought like a knife in my head
Cutting deeper, I'm hanging by a thread
I try to breathe but the air won't stay
Every color fades to gray
I'm falling under, blackout mind
Blackout mind -- can't outrun
All this noise, it cuts me up
Cuts me up -- I come undone
I'm breaking, breaking in the glow
In the glow -- I feel numb
If I let go, if I let go
What have I become?
Every mirror shows a stranger's face
Every step feels out of place
Running circles in a hollow room
Counting down to an empty doom
Shut it out but it bleeds right through
No escape from the truth
I'm falling under, blackout mind
Blackout mind -- can't outrun
All this noise, it cuts me up
Cuts me up -- I come undone
I'm breaking, breaking in the glow
In the glow -- I feel numb
If I let go, if I let go
What have I become?
If I fade into the silence
Will it finally set me free
Or am I just a shadow
Of who I'll never be
I'm falling under, blackout mind
Blackout mind -- can't outrun
All this noise, it cuts me up
Cuts me up -- I come undone
I'm breaking, breaking in the glow
In the glow -- I feel numb
If I let go, if I let go
There's nothing left to run from
