Different (Alt) 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Born in 1979 A boy was young and pure Growing up in the city life Innocent and immature Some have called him ugly Others thought that he was lame Always different from everyone Driving himself insane Listen, they’re calling you To change your ways Your life’s not good for you So, come out and play Play with who are not like you And make sure you change Please make them happy For you can’t live your life Living with his darkness No one ever thinks he's sane Getting used to loneliness With the pain that comes each way Looking down with every walk Shying away his pride Wanting to look at no one else Finding ways to hide And when you change, please make them happy They don’t care that you’re a toy Joining them is all for the best You don’t deserve joy

Crush (Alt) 03:02
lyrics

Pretty girl, pretty face It was high school when I melted I would dream silly dreams I was hoping she was able to feel this To converse was so rare Her reservedness overwhelmed me But this crush on a girl Showed me it was just a reverie I had pictured us as a family Then I felt stupid So new for me So special for me to be Someone normal So scared I was So damn confused because I had a crush on a girl I had a crush on a girl Pretty girl, pretty face Her long, black hair was hard to miss With those lips I would kiss The beauty of her soul I couldn’t resist In my mind I had such a fantasy Then I felt stupid Even though she was forbidden I still kept her memory Even though I was driven I had to let her be I had to let her be So new for me So scared I was I had a crush on a girl

Fetus (Alt) 02:51
lyrics

Mama, do you wish you could rewind? All the things that you will always hide I know that it’s best if I were not So low just because I wouldn’t rot I feel like I should become a fetus So that I can have my second chance Everything I do reflects who I am How can I get through to make you understand? It feels like I’m a Venus as a man If I were a fetus, then I’d be glad Papa, I feel like I made you sad With the fact that I've been so bad I know that it’s hard to comprehend But know that there are rules that I must bend I feel like I should become a fetus So that I can have my second chance You see me as your little boy But not as your great pride and joy It’s as though I weren’t born on Earth What did you hope for during my birth?

Tears (Alt) 02:50
lyrics
buy track
It was our anniversary You spent little time with me I was longing for more of you Before you chose to leave Perhaps you were so bored of me And that’s what made you go On a day so special I’m sitting here all alone I can feel these tears Flooding over me I can easily drown From the melancholy My cracking heart Kills every smile This wretched frown Will hurt for a while It was our anniversary You were desperate to leave So full of apathy How could you be so mean? It’s funny how life works the ways it does You don’t always get what you need The lack of love tends to haunt me The absence makes me bleed I drown without you

False (Alt) 03:12
lyrics
buy track
You meant so much to me And I would always be Whatever you wanted Whatever you needed I would stay with you Right there in your arms Right there by your side I was there for you I was so much in love I could not get enough You gave me your heart And I gave you mine It was mutual The love we had Was a love so false What we had is now regrettable Our love Was supposed to last forever False love We could not go far together The love we had Makes me so sad Because it was So false Get out, get out of my mind So I can live my life I need to heal The pain I feel You have cracked my heart Stored inside Are my cries I had been so foolish from the start Now I feel so afraid Of what the future holds I don’t have you in my life And now it feels so cold I need someone here to hold

Amor Vacío (Alt) 03:34

“Amor Vacío” No sé que voy a hacer Yo quiero romper nuestra relación Y podré demostrar Todo lo que siento en mi corazón [coro] Me siento atrapado Quiero escapar No te dejes llevar por mis sentimientos Esta confusión Que siento aquí Nunca va a salir del amor vacío Yo no te amo Te dejé de amar hace unos meses Y tú sigues con lo mismo Tú no sabes nada eso me parece [coro] Del amor vacío Y me siento vacío ENGLISH TRANSLATION: “Empty Love” I don't know what I'm going to do I want to break our relationship up And I can demonstrate Everything I feel in my heart [chorus] I feel trapped I want to escape Don't go by my feelings This confusion That I feel here Will never leave from the empty love I don't love you I stopped loving you for some months And you keep up with the same thing You don't know anything it seems [chorus] From empty love And I feel empty

about

FREE RELEASE!

This is volume 2 of 2 in a compilation series called ALT, full of alternate and alternative versions of tracks from past releases.

These versions were actually created before the previously released ones, so they are technically not remixes in the standard sense, even though the previously releases ones became the "originals," so to speak. It's because the transition to synthpop in 2018 hadn't been finalized yet at the time.

As a result, these tracks were sitting around collecting dust, so why not release them? Granted, Nox Nave is more known for synthpop and dark electronica, but there was no reason to create a new artist name for this two-volume series.

Another reason to release these tracks is to give me extra time to record and produce a new synthpop album. There is absolutely new original music for 2022, and there are also more releases this year than usual, so that's plenty of tracks to listen to. However, we will see what happens with the return to synthpop, depending on inspiration!

Regarding tracks from MONSTRUM not being included in the ALT series, since all other past releases took part in it, it's because there already is a separate alternate/alternative version of the album that's shelved on my flash drive. Given the oddly specific and unique theme and lyrical content, it deserves to be on its own. It's a full album's length, too, but with fewer tracks than the released one, and the sounds are a bit more orchestral but still avant-garde. It was going to be the original under a different artist name, which was created in 2012, but after years of delaying it, I came up with the synthpop result that was ultimately released, which I personally prefer. I'm not sure if and when I'll release the alt version, though.
