Lyrics
Sometimes these stories are trapped within my mind
And the words that follow are cold and unkind
It’s not about you it’s just how I sleep at night
And I know it’s not the best thing but
It’s gonna’ be alright
I feel like this city don’t know me at all
Or care for my troubles
When I’m down on my luck
Baring my soul
Please help I’m sorry, I apologize
This heart decaying gets lonely sometimes
If I’m a lone wolf that’s howling in the night
Then the city should listen, open it’s ears and eyes
I feel like this city don’t know me at all
Or care for my troubles
When I’m down on my luck
Baring my soul
Sometimes these stories are trapped within my mind
And the words that follow are cold and unkind
It’s not about you it’s just how I sleep at night
And I know it’s not the best thing but It’s gonna’ be alright
I feel like this city don’t know me at all
Or care for my troubles
When I’m down on my luck
Baring my soul I feel like this city don’t know me at all
Or care for my troubles
When I’m down on my luck Baring my soul, yeah

Trust me, this new Rock song by Daneka Nation will hit you right in the feels. Rhett’s vocals tell the story of a guy struggling to hold on to the most important relationship in his life. Anyone who’s been with their high school sweetheart knows the ups and downs.

Moreover, the Houston-based band showcases commitment in every note they play. Assuredly, I can picture them pouring everything they have into perfecting this track.

Proving the non-traditional side of Alt-Rock, Stray + The Wild turned their dark edgy style into a new song called “Show Me The Way.” It is no exaggeration to say that their musical DNA incorporates elements from Radiohead, Lana Del Rey, and Danzig.
In order to bring this tune to life, the lead vocalist AlexVndria outstands with her intriguing vocals, while the sonic atmosphere is reinforced by excellent guitar work from Alan Dämien. On the other hand, the steady drums provide a solid foundation for the rhythm, completing the whole arrangement.
Furthermore, the lyrics highlight the importance of maintaining resilience when confronted with challenges. In essence, “Show Me The Way” represents nothing more than a quest for guidance and salvation, one way or another.
Apart from making dope tracks, these talented artists are into animal rights and veganism. Using their art to make the world a better place is also part of their philosophy as a band.
“Show Me The Way” as a composition strikes a balance between the emotional and introspective. Similarly, with its sound and verses, it succeeds in connecting with you through a profound story.
