To The Grave

By Dyrt Dyzyrt on February 12, 2026 6:10 pm

Hey friends, I need to come clean.... I know this is "Weekly Beats", but for me it's going to be more like "Monthly Beats", as in my personal goal is to finish one song every month (which would be a big deal for me!).

I initially imagined this song being a lot heavier with a more punk rock vibe, but since I can't play guitar chords to save my life I had to use keyboard instead. Alas...
I did however experiment with reverb and double tracking in the mix this time which was a fun learning experience.

This song is about having romantic feelings for someone your not "supposed" to and having to hide it. (Shout out to my queer fam!)

To The Grave

I don't know how much longer
I can keep this up
I'm hiding my true feelings
and shutting it all down

Too much longing, too much fire
Someone's going to get burned
All these feelings spiral out of control
Someone's going to get hurt

It's going with me to the grave
It can't be, but it won't leave
It doesn't matter how I feel
It's going with me to the grave

Secrets are only safe for so long
I dread the day the truth comes out
Never wanted to hurt anybody
And I ache with guilt and doubt

The faintest touch, sends a spark
Is this real or in my head
Fleeting looks, full of meaning
I will hold this til I'm dead

It's going with me to the grave
It can't be but it won't leave
It doesn't matter how I feel
It's going with me to the grave

Sometimes I wish you'd learn to hate me
It might help put out the flame
Sometimes I wish you'd confirm my worst fear
Your kindness is kerosene

It's going with me to the grave
It can't be but it won't leave
It doesn't matter how I feel
It's going with me to the grave

This is awesome! Could definitely hear it with guitars, but you carry the punk/post punk feel with heaps of attitude. Love the lyrics too. Great track!

OMG this song is a bop filled with such sad lyrics, absolutely fantastic! Love the change up after the 2 minute mark, the fast bass riffs, the organ like sound (gives grave vibes), and the vocal dynamics! Already stuck in my head.

I'd love this with guitars (or even as a full darkwave/industrial track), but I really dig the stripped down vibe (and that bass is doing some WORK). The sparse instrumentation really reinforces the (sigh...relatable) lyrics & your voice.

This rocks! I love the break before the chorus. And the halftime changeup for the bridge is rad. Looking forward to hearing your tunes, regardless of frequency.

Oh, and I dig the lyrics. The whole concept is novel and interesting

Sorry I missed this one!

love the keyboards with the grungy bass - great to hear you sing as always!!!!  this is very catchy and i love the super breakdown

Your voice is awesome! With the keyboard and reverb, I get a Space Lady vibe which I love. Love is love and it makes for great songs, thank you for this one!

Agreed, great vocals on all the tracks and glad I had some time to go back and give this one a listen!
