The result was his one man project 1 AM and the only release, the CD Maxi-Single 1000 Beats.
Although this particular project may not have borne much fruit the networking from it ultimately lead to the formation of the popular electronic / futurepop band Rotersand.
New Horizons
1 AM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every year we gain
We lose people who shifty
I used to be shocked
More dazed than first piffy
Now I open the door to see who really with me
Them shining I oblige it
I don't got to be around to hear the whispers don't deny it
That hates me vibing
It's probably cause I love them all
I'm paying homage
Funny deeper you love the more they play your kindness
Little do they know the coals drop on they head every time
Just read your bible
You could understand the cheat code to life
It's faith in honest
Truth, life, sweat, tears
Worship the Father
A seed can only grow as big as the person who sows for harvest
I'm preaching light to a world who only feeds darkness
I've been pardoned
New horizons every morning body rising
Thank the Lord for my conscience
Pray my boy go to college
Not see streets become a doctor
Or anything He can conjure
Believe in God all possible
I do it for the kids who need a uncle
To talk to
Father aint really a part of
They life cause of nonsense
Aint no where near perfect
But I've learned to say sorry
Sun gon rise
Look to God new horizonz
Everyone I know think less of me
I done went to the darkest places
Still fighting inner me
Anger comes from years of pain
Deep inside hard to see
All those around me who never grind their teeth
I became an animal just so I could breathe
Hyenas will eat a lone lion imagine me
Just a sheep in wolves clothing
From walking barefoot on concrete to wearing to loafers
It almost don't feel right
I found it hard to leave those things I used to kill nights
Of course those around me still there not gon feel nice
When I improved like they should too
But thats too real right
Why heal feel right
Why smile play nice
Rather grill a dude than respect he living too
Till that dark night
Quick click flash bright Scope light goodnight life
New horizons every morning body rising
Thank the Lord for my conscience
Pray my boy go to college
Not see streets become a doctor
Or anything He can conjure
Believe in God all possible
I do it for the kids who need a uncle
To talk to
Father aint really a part of
They life cause of nonsense
Aint no where near perfect
But I've learned to say sorry
Sun gon rise
Look to God new horizonz
Pick up your cross
I rather break chains than be changing in malls
I rather seek God than to be chasing a broad
Rather build my community than study abroad
I don't need to see the world
Because it's always been off
After all earth is dirt
Then we wonder why war
Fight for something that's free
Like a resource
Open your eyes check for the source
Worship the Lord
New horizons every morning body rising
Thank the Lord for my conscience
Pray my boy go to college
Not see streets become a doctor
Or anything He can conjure
Believe in God all possible

They life cause of nonsense
Aint no where near perfect
But I've learned to say sorry

Still fighting inner me
I continue to battle my inner demons and challenges
Anger comes from years of pain
The anger I feel has been built up over years of suffering
Deep inside hard to see
It is difficult to recognize these emotions within myself
All those around me who never grind their teeth
Those who never endure hardships or struggles
I became an animal just so I could breathe
I adapted and toughened up to survive in challenging situations
Hyenas will eat a lone lion imagine me
Predators will take advantage of a vulnerable lion, akin to my own struggles with adversity
Just a sheep in wolves clothing
I may appear submissive or vulnerable, but I conceal my true strength
From walking barefoot on concrete to wearing to loafers
From enduring hardship to enjoying comfort and success
It almost don't feel right
The transition and changes in my life feel unfamiliar
I found it hard to leave those things I used to kill nights
It is difficult to move on from activities or habits that once consumed my nights
Of course those around me still there not gon feel nice
Naturally, those close to me may not be pleased with my personal growth and changes
When I improved like they should too
As I progress and better myself, others should strive for improvement as well
But thats too real right
However, facing these truths may be uncomfortable for some
Why heal feel right
Why is it easier to inflict harm than to seek healing
Why smile play nice
Why pretend to be friendly and kind with insincere intentions
Rather grill a dude than respect he living too
It is easier to criticize and judge someone than to truly appreciate their existence
Till that dark night
Until a moment of reckoning or realization
Quick click flash bright Scope light goodnight life
In a sudden moment, everything can change and life can take a drastic turn
Pick up your cross
Take up your burdens and responsibilities
I rather break chains than be changing in malls
I prefer to break free from constraints rather than indulging in materialistic pursuits
I rather seek God than to be chasing a broad
I prioritize seeking God over pursuing fleeting relationships or distractions
Rather build my community than study abroad
I value investing in and strengthening my local community over seeking experiences overseas
I don't need to see the world
I do not feel the need to explore or travel extensively
Because it's always been off
Because the true value or essence lies elsewhere
After all earth is dirt
Ultimately, the material possessions of this world hold little significance
Then we wonder why war
Yet, we wonder why conflict and strife exist
Fight for something that's free
Struggling for things that should be freely available or accessible
Like a resource
Similar to a valuable commodity
Open your eyes check for the source
Look beyond superficial appearances and seek the root cause
Worship the Lord
Show reverence and devotion to God
