“Needles in the Moonlight” is a haunting, redemptive ballad for those who have danced with the edge and lived to tell the tale. It speaks the unspoken—how addiction can feel like a lover, a promise, a sanctuary of silence… until it isn’t. Through soul-stirring lyricism and an energy-laden vocal presence, this track doesn’t just recount the journey—it embodies it.
It is both shadow and sunrise. Both confession and liberation.
With every verse, “Needles in the Moonlight” walks the listener through the aching illusion of opiates—the fleeting comfort, the slow descent, the quiet betrayal—and ultimately, the choice to rise. To reclaim breath. To step into the light, even when the weight is heavy.
This is not just a song—it’s a reckoning, a resurrection.
No more ghosts in your veins.
No more whispers that steal your name.
You were born for more.
Needles in the Moonlight (opiate addiction);
Once I danced with shadows under silver skies,
Chased a whisper I thought would quiet the cries.
Velvet numb, wrapped around my skin,
But every high let the hurt back in.
They promised peace in a paper flame,
But it always ended in smoke and shame.
I wore my ache like a second skin,
Dreamin’ of freedom I never let in.
