Before delving into the realm of music, Flores explored graphic design. While participating in a 2D art class during his high school years, he recognized the latent potential in his unconventional approach to design and endeavored to launch a clothing line. This endeavor, however, met with limited success. This outcome didn't surprise him, as he had trouble forming connections with like-minded people in San Diego when he was growing up in Barrio Logan and Mission Hills. Rather than socialize, Flores spent a lot of time alone in his bedroom working on projects.
Apart from graphic design, Flores also began tinkering with music software during his sophomore year. His commitment to music deepened after discontinuing his clothing line, culminating in the release of his debut album "Care" in November 2016. The album was a creation stemming from his high school years. Comprising 11 tracks, "Care" emanates a tranquil and ethereal ambiance, spanning a concise 20-minute duration. Crafted entirely within the confines of his bedroom, the album epitomizes the essence of bedroom pop, with even vocals recorded through the microphone of his Apple earbuds.
In recent years, TEMPOREX has further solidified his presence with his sophomore album, "Bowling," released after a successful debut with "Care." Despite not having a prominent local following in San Diego, TEMPOREX's music has reached a broader audience through online platforms, contributing to his rise in popularity within the indie music landscape. With a distinct lo-fi sound and a DIY production approach, TEMPOREX continues to make a lasting impact, positioning himself as a promising figure in the indie music realm.
TEMPOREX's musical talents have led to collaborations with notable artists such as The Glitch Mob, Skrillex, Flume, Rustie, and Jai Wolf. His compositions have found their way into diverse television shows and films, such as appearances in Aquaman, The Walking Dead, and Stranger Things.
Daydream
Temporex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
other than me
so one day you will see
what I do see in me
but for now I'll just sit and look at you
but once you look at me
oh I will look away
cause when I see your face
girl give me a break
I don't know how much more my heart can take
Baby come on now
I know this is a daydream
but it just felt so real
maybe when I wake up
you can tell me how you feel
I'll just sit here in my room
and think all about you
or maybe one day i'll decide to finally talk to you
These lyrics from Temporex's song Daydream describe someone who is having a one-sided crush and longs for the person they are attracted to notice them. The singer of the song wants to be someone other than who they are, hoping that one day the person they admire will see in them what they see in themselves. However, they lack confidence and become too shy to face them once they make eye contact. When they see the person's face, their heart begins to race, and they wish the person would give them a break. They are unsure how much more of this unrequited love their heart can take.
The singer acknowledges that this is nothing but a daydream, but it feels so real to them. They hope that one day the person they admire will tell them how they feel. In the meantime, they remain sitting in their room, thinking about this person, and imagining what it would be like to finally talk to them.
This song captures the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the longing for someone who may never reciprocate feelings. It conveys the hopelessness that this situation creates, and how the heartache of feeling unloved and unimportant can feel overwhelming.

on Numbers
For me the song kinda ‚reflects' my life. Even though i don't "
really know whats meant with ,these numbers arent going straight up' maybe money is meant with it. Yet i can refer to to the money and not wanting to go to school part. Aswell as the nice parents part. Also i recently got a boyfriend with who everything just feels so unique. Kissing, cuddling, even holding hands makes me feel so secure. He makes me feel secure, in every way vou can feel secure. He makes me feel good about my goofy laugh or my voice cracks. We laugh so much together i can't describe the feeling that i have with him. I don't know if i can call it love yet but i think love is going to be the ending of the story. I really hope he's the one for me. Im going to meet his family soon. Im a bit afraid lol.
