about

Severed Ties is about: The song is about someone who has severed ties with their past and is determined to move forward. They express their frustration with lies and deceit, declaring their intention to become stronger and speak out. The lyrics suggest a resentment towards someone who has caused pain and torment, vowing to be the cause of their eventual downfall. The protagonist questions the authenticity of emotions in their previous relationships and expresses a desire to rebuild their values. They assert their independence and determination to protect their future offspring from any misery or harm.

lyrics

Severed my ties and I'm on my own
No time to look back as the old saying goes
What do I do now? Where do I go now?
Nowhere close to home, gotta get far, gotta get away
From the fucking lies and fucking deceit
I'm gonna get strong gonna get my wits about me
With what I'm about say I really want you all to hear me. There's no other time like the present to make sure you don't forget that I am your downfall
Realize your going nowhere in this life spending all your time wallowing in self pity seeing into your own eyes, at the spoiled age of 50 you do nothing but torture those in your vicinity
Someday somebody will put you out of your misery
And this i swear to you it will be me
All these years of trying
Were they real emotions
Or did you fake it all
What are you running from
Everything you've built up until now is crumbling

I bow to none of you
Be my own God I true
My values will be restored
Not one miserable fucking morsel
Will make it to my offspring

KAI is my solo project. I go by the same name (Kai Ian). I write the guitar, bass and drums by myself using MIDI. I record the vocals myself as well in my DIY "sound treated" closet. The music is low-tuned to double drop C for a raw and aggressive sound. The music is cathartic release, while containing mostly true details of abuse. ... more
