Gray Matter
With an impressive library of polished productions, I listened to dozens of Deeplastik’s tracks for sheer enjoyment! Then The Edge spoke to me and I started writing a melody and lyrics within minutes.
I have a hand injury that makes editing in my DAW really difficult so it was a gift to write to Deeplastik’s instrumental with only a couple of minor edits. I also played bass throughout and a couple of different string parts and piano in the first section. Everything else is Deeplastik’s mix. Singing to Deeplastik felt very natural and enjoyable!!! These lyrics are a reflection of the deep personal shadow work I’m doing — music is such a cathartic way to process and leads to growth and healing. Over the last 20 years there’s been nothing more fulfilling than making music with this treasured community. You give my life meaning, you hear what’s in my heart, you support me and each other — what a rare gem ccMixter is! Thank you all for being my home, my friends, my passion in life. Happy Emerald Anniversary ccMixter! Happy 20th Birthday!!! Let’s keep it going for another 20!!! xxxxxxx Gray Matter by Madam Snowflake My mirror is broken Fractured in unspoken ways The form of a pangolin Exposed another demon today Give me grace Handed down, handed down Buried in boxes six feet underground Yet alive today Haunting my DNA Hiding in shadows and my shades of gray Checkerboard patterns Sun square to Saturn in space Rifle, conception Shame and rejection Give me grace Feed my faith Handed down, handed down Burden of weight never measured in pounds Breaking today Down in my DNA Hiding in shadows and my shades of gray I’m on the edge I cannot stretch These limbs any farther it’s over, it’s over I’m on the ledge Held up by this flesh Can’t run any farther It’s over, it’s over Handed down, handed down Buried in boxes six feet underground Yet alive today Haunting my DNA Handed down, handed down Burden of weight never measured in pounds Breaking today Down in my DNA Hiding in shadows and my shades of gray Give me grace Give me grace Give me grace

Editorial pickUsing the complex and moody minor key layers of Deeplastik’s The Edge, which itself comes from another master of moody dark music, OnlyMeith, snowflake paints a gothic picture of the burden of ancestry and mortality, using the beautiful heredity of ccMixter.org to illustrate it.
